Poetry.


II lies around us like a cloud
4 world we do not see,
Yet the sweet closing Of an eye
May bring rs there to be-
It's gentle breezes f1n our cheek,
Amid our worldly cares
Its gentle voices whisper love,
And mingle with our prayers.l
Sweet hearts around Us throb and beat
Sweet helping hands are stirred
Ard palpitates the veil between
With breathings almost heard.
And in the hush Of rest they bring,
'fis easy now to see
How lovely and how sweet q pas5
The hour Of death may be.
To close the eye and close the ear,
wrapped in trance Of bliss,
And gently laid in loving arms,
To swoOn to tha:-from this.
Scarce knowing if we wake or sleep.
Scarce asking where We are,
To feel all evils sink away,
All sorrow and all care.
Sweet souls arCuad u watch Us still.
Press nearer 10 our side;
Into or thoughts, into our prayers,
With gentle helping glide.
Let death between US be as naught-
A dried and vanished stream
Your JOY ho The reality.
Cur suderirg lie the drean.

We deem him equal, if not superior, to aEy
gentleman who has been elected to the Legislt-
ture. lie does not seek this position, and is
nOt probably svxre thst bis name has been

would not seek the Office But it would seem
that being fully qualified in every essential re-
qnisite, 1t would be graceful set for the mem
berE Of the Legislature to call him to the speaker
ship.
Northeastern Vermont is clearly entitled to
the selection Of speaker, that office having been
held BY gentlemen from Western Vermont since
1862, ard there certainly is no more experienced
and qualified man than Franklin Fairbanks in
that section. We are aware that the names Of
kittredge Hsskins and Hugh Henry. Esqs,
hsve been nenticued for the speaker; tie one
has feen no legislative experience. and the other
but one session. We believe that Col. Fair
banks superior qualifications and experience
and high character will commend him tc tho sp-
provAl and support of the members Of the Legis-
lstuTe from Western Vermont as il cordially re-
ceives the support Of Eastern Vermont.
