POETRY.
THE DYING WIFE.

Lay the gem upon my bosom, let me feel mel
sweet, warm breath
For strange chill DER me- passes, and know
that it is death
would gaze upon the treasure, scarcely
given, before / go
Feel her rosy, dimpIed fingers wander DER
my cheek of snow.
I am passing through the waters, but a
blessed shore appears
Kneel beside me, husband, dearest, let me
kiss away thy tears
Wrestle with thy grief my husband, strive
from midnight until day;
It may prove an angels blessing when it
vanishes away.
Lay the gem upon my bosom, tits not long
she can be there
See how to my heart she nestles-'tis the
pearl love to wear;
If in after years beside thee sits another IN
my chair
Though her voice be sweeter music, and her
face than mine more fair
IF cherub call the father, far more beautiful
than this,
Love my first born oh, my husband turn
not from the motherless.
Tell her, sometimes, of her mother, you can
call her by my name;
Shield her from the winds Of sorrow, if she
errs, oh gently blame
Lead her, sometimes, where I'm sleeping, I
will answer if she calls;
Aud my breath will stir her ringlets when my
voice in blessing falls
And her soft blue eyes will brighten, and
she'll wonder whence it came
In her heart, when years pass DER her, she
will find her mothers name.
1t is said that every mortal walks between
two angels here
One records the ills. but blots it, if before the
midnight drear
Man repeuteth, if uncanceled then, he seals
it for the skies,
And the right, hand angel weepeth, bowling
low with yelled eyes.
1 will be her right hand angel, sealing up the
good for heaven,
Striving that the midnight watches find NJ
misdeed unforgiYen.
You will not forget me, husband, when In
sleeping meath the sod,
Love the jewel, God has given us, as love
thee,next to God.

RIVER OF LIFE.
BY S. f.

There is stream whose waters lave
In gentle flow, or swelling wave,
The face of every land,
And tiny boatlets hither go,
And thither, mid the cea8eless flow
That eddies DER the strand.
Not ocean depth, nor mountain height,
nor silent vale, nor desert blight,
Excludes it's fiery beat ;;
Where'Cr the blessed sunlight falls,
Or eve to deeper nightshade calls,
It's countless currents meet.
The peasant hamlet-'neath the brow
OF Alpine cliff, mid Grabbing snow,
It's sparkling waters bless
The Arab tent, within the shade
Of tOW'ring palm the eYerglade,
All feel it's lOyeleness.
River of Life Thy pulses sound
With measured throb, on either bound
OF ever moving Time.
In Paradise thy utmost verge
And ever since thy rolling surge
Hath sought heavenly cline.
Q River, sweet on thy dear breast
Bear thou thy children home to rest
From ev'ry earthly i'll
That on the banks of heavenly streams,
Where Life and Love give fuller CLEANS,
They drink eternal fill.
