POETICAL.
THE DYING WIFE.

Raise my pillow, husband, dearest
Faint and fainter comes my breath;
And these shadows stealing slowly,
Must, | know, be those of death.
Sit down close beside me, darling,
Let me clasp your warm, strong hand,
Yours that ever has sustained me,
Te the borders Of this land.
For your God and mine-our Father
Then shall ever lead me on
Where upon a throne eternal
Sits His loved and holy Son;
Pye had visions and been dreaming
0'er the past of joy and pain,
Year by year I've wandered backward,
Till was a child again.
Dreams of girlhood and the moment
When ! stood YOUR wife and brides;
How nv heart thrilled with loves triumph,
In that hour of womsn's pride
Dreams of thee and all the earth-chords
Firmly twined about my heart
Oh the bitter, burning anguish,
When first knew we must part.
It has passed-and God has promised
All thy footsteps to attend;
He that's more than friend or brother,
He'll be with you TO the end.
There's no shadow DER the portal,
Leading to my heavenly home
Christ has promised life immortal,
And tbs He that bids me come.
When life's trials wait around thee,
And its chilling bilows swell: %.
Thoupt thank heaven that am spared them,
Thoult then feel that " all is we'll"
Bring our boys unto my bedside;
Ny last blessing let them keep.
But they're sleeping, do not wake them
They'll learn soon enough to weep.
Tell them often of their motherS
Kiss them for me when they wake,
Lead them gently in liie's pathway,
Love them doubly for my sake.
Clasp my hand still closer, darling,
This, the last night of my life;
For tomorrow shall never
Answer when you call me "wife."
Fare thee well, my noble husband,
Faint not meath the Christening rod
Throw your strong arm round our children,
Keep them close to thee and God.

door rush of cold air meets him; it
is bitter frost, black and pinch,ug,

Instead Of complying, she turns he,
