Elise felt herself thrilled with happl-

that change, though she herself did not
know that the real secret lay in her own

Now, presently, they were all feasting;
and Elise, longing to be alone for a few
minutes with her wonderful happiness,
crept down to the side of the Rhine, and
thought over the past.
"Ah, ard he said am so altered, too I

DREAMS AND REALITIES.
BY PHOEBE CARY.

O Rosamond, thou fair and good,
And perfect flower of womanhood,
Thou royal rose of June,
Why didst thou drOOp before thy time?
Why wither in thy first sweet prime?
Why didst thou die so soon?
For looking backward through my tears
On thee, and on my wasted years,
[ can not choose but say,
If thou hadst lived to be my guide,
Or thou hadst lived and l had died,
'TWere better far to-day.
Q child of light, o golden head
Bright sunbeam for one moment shed
Upon life's lonely way
Why didst thou vanish from our sight?
Could they not spare my little light
From heavens unclouded day?
0 friend so true, o friend so good
Thou one dream of my maidenhood.
That gave youth all It's charms r.r.
What had / done, or what hadst thou;
That through this lonesome world till now
We walk with empty arms?
And yet, had this poor soul been fed
With all it loved and coveted
Had life been always fair H4
+ YOU'D these Gear dreams that ne r depart
That thrill with bliss my Utmost heart,
Forever tremble there?
If still they kept their earthly place
The friends held in my embrace,
And gave to death, alas
could have learned that clear. calm faith
That looks beyond the bounds OF death
And almost longs to pass
Sometimes, / think, the things we see
Are shadows of the things to be;
That what we plan we build 'gq gts
That every hope that hath been crossed
And every dream We thought was Loaf
In heaven shall be fulfilled; 81 - :
That even the children OF the brain
Have not been born and died In vain.
Though here unclothed and dumb.
But on some brighter, better shore
They live, embodied eyermOre,
And wait for us to come. gss. H., .,-a
And when on that last day we rise,
Caught up between the earth and skies.
Then shall we hear our Lord
Say, Thou hast done with doubt and death
Henceforth. according to thy faith,
Shall be thy faiths reward.

POETRY.
THE RETURN OF SUMMER.
BY KATE CAMERON.

The miracle of bud and bloom
Again has been repeated;
Again, with new life from the tomb,
Our glad eyes have been greeted;
But while we hail the fragrant flowers,
With Joy DER each new conner,
How is it with these hearts of ours
Have they no second summer?
Alas! we look back on the Past,
And see the vacant places
The years are gliding on SO fast,
Our friends wear altered faces
For some beneath the touch of Time
Have dearer grown, and older;
A halo from tairer cline
Reflects on each behOlder!
While others that we deemed so true,
Have proved their love was feeting-
No summer can their faith renew,
Or set their cold hearts beating
To them We give the tear and sigh
Which should not be Deaths token;
Our friends are ours, cen tho they die,
Heart-links can meier be broken. ~,
And now we gaze on all around
With clearer, truer vision,
And nowhere on this earth is found
Our longed for home Elysian.
We've learned that Life is not dream,
But stern and earnest working,
Tho often, meath its troubled stream
Bright sunDeams may be lurking.
Then let us take, with thankful heart,
Each blessing that is brought US
Should pleasures come, or joys depart,
Some lesson will be taught us.
And if we rightly heed each truth,
In weeping and in laughter,
A sweetcr bliss than thai of youth
Shall crown our days hereafter

TOUCHING lNCIDENT.--In this city
lives poor family, the father of which
is a Catholic, while the mother is Pro-
testant. Recently their daughter, a
beautiful child Of five years, suddenly
sickened and died During its sickness
it was attended by a physician, who was
accompanied on every visit by his
daughter, a girl of fifteen years, who
evinced the greatest sollcitude for the
little sufferer. When death came with
its cold, icy grasp, this young lady was
there, and with tender hands closed the
innocent eyes and arranged the form of
the babe who had been called home.
The funeral took place next day, and,
owing to the conflict Of religious opin-
ions between the parents, neither priest
nor minister was called in. The young
lady went to the house of mourning, and
IN company with the grief-stricken par
ents, followed the remains to the GENE.
terry. Arriving there the little body was
placed by the side of its narrow resting
place, to allow a last look at the sweet
face which all loved 80 well. With low
wall the poor mother threw herself down
beside it, and with passionate kisses
cold, motionless clay. Every one was
visibly affected by this outburst, and
when she called upon the young lady to
offer prayer for her darling, ell rover
entially uncovered and knelt to the
ground. The young lady, after mo
ment's hesitation, knelt and commenced
praying At first her voice was visibly
affected by emotion, but, as she proceed
ed, she seemed to forget herself and sur
roundings, and poured forth such touch
ing appeal to the Throne Of Grace that
there was not when she ceased dry eye
or an unmoved heart in the entire assem-
bly,. When she had finished the body
was carefully lowered into the grave,
