/ Filling the sky and earth below,
Over the housetops, over the street,
Over the, heads of the people you meet;
Dancing Notwithstanding along,
Beautiful snow it can do no wrong:
Flying to kiss fair lady's check,
Clinging to lips in frolicksome freak:
Beautiful snow from heaven above,
Pure as an IN eel, gentle as We!
Oh the snow, the beautiful snow,
How the flakes gather and laugh as they go,
Whirling about in maddening fun:
Chasing-Laughing- by.
1t lights on tie face, and itsparkles the eye;
And the dogs, with a bark and bound,
Snap at the crystals as they eddy around:
The town is alive and its heart is a-glow
To welcome the coming of beautiful snow :
How wild the crowd goes swaying along,
Hailing each other with humor and song:
How the gay sleighs like meteors flash by,
Bright for the moment, then lost to the eye
Observation-Disclosures they go
Over The crust of the beautiful snow:
Snow so pure when it falls from the sky,
To be trampled and tracked by thousands Of
feet
Till it blends with the filth in the horrible
street.
Once was pure as the snow, but I fell,
Fell like the snow fakes from heaven 10 hell;
Fell to be trampled as filth Oh the street.
Fell to be scoffed, to be spit on and beat;
Pleading--Cursjhg-Drcading to die,
Selling my soul torwhoevcr would buy;
Dealing in shqD6e for morsel of bread,
Hating the lifting and fearing the dead.
Mcrciful GA, have fallen so low9
And yet was once like the beautiful snow.
How STANCE it should be that this beautiful
sngw
SEoElJ fall on a sinner with nowhere to 90
Igw strange it should be when the night
comes again,
~ the snow and the ice struck by desperate
Y brain
Too wicked for prayer, too weak for a moan
TO be heard in the streets of the braZen town
Gone mad in the JOY of the snow coming
down:
To be and TO die in my terrible woe,
With bed and shrOud of beautiful snow.
Helpless and foul as the trampled snow,
Sinner, despair not Christ stoopeth low
To rescue the soul that is lost in sin,
And raise it to life and enjoyment again.
Groaning -Bleeding--Dyingf for thee,
The cruciied hung on the cursed tree
His accents of mercy fall soft on thine car,
" Is there mercy for me: Will he heed my
weak prayer?''
0 God, in the stream that for sinners did
flow
Wash me. and ! shall be whittier shan snow.

BEAUTIFUL SNOW.

In the early part Of the American
war. one dark Saturday morning in
the dead of winter, there died at the
Commercial Hospital, Cincinnati, a
young woman over whose head only
two-and-twentys ummers had passed
She had once been possessed of an en-
viable share of beauty, had been, as
she herself said, flattered and sought
for the charms of her face but alas
upon her fair brow had long been witt
ten that terrible word-fallen Once
the pride of respectable parentage, her
first wrong step was the small begin
ing Of the same old story over again, -
which has been the only life-history
of thousands. Highly educated and
accomplished in manners, she might
have shOne in the best society. But
the evil hour that proved her ruin was
out the door from childhood and hav-
ing spent young life in shame, the
poor friendless one died the melan-
choly death of broken-hearted out
cast.
Among her personal effects was
found, in manuscript the Beautiful
Snow which was Immediately car
ried to Enos Il. Reed, gentleman of
culture and literary tastes, who was at
that time editor of the NATIONAL
UNION, In the columns of that paper,
on the morning following the girls
death, the poem appeared in print for
the first time. When the paper con-
tanning The poem came out on Sunday
morning, the body of the victim had
not vet received burial. The atten-
tiou IF Tbop1os buchanan Road one
Of the best American poets, was soon
directed TO the newly published lines,
who was so taken with their stirring
pathos, that he immediately followed
the corpse to its final resting place.
Such are the plain facts concerning
her whose" Beautiful Snow" will long
be regarded as oHe of the highest gems
of American literature.
