A wOMAN's CONCLUSIONS.


said if might go back again
To the very hour and place of my birth:
Might have my life whatever chose,
Ard live in any part of the GARTH
Put perfect sunshine into my sky,
Banish the shadow of sorrow and doubt;
Have all my happiness multiplied.
And all my suferings stricken out
II 1 could have known in the years now gone
The best that woman comes to know;
Could have had whatever will make her blest,
Or whatever she thinks will make her so,
Have gained the highest and purest bliss
Which the bridal wreath and ring enclose;
And chosen the one out of all the world
That might, or could or would have chose
And if this had been, and | stood to night
BY my children, lying asleep in their beds;
And could count in my prayers, for rosary
Inc shining rows of their golden heads
Yea said if a miracle such as this
Could be wrought for me at my bidding, still
would chose to have my past as 1t is,
And let my future come as it will
would not make the path have trod
More pleasant even, more straight or Wide
.'oi NhahSc my course the Dreautn OF q hair,
This way or that, to either side
My past is mine, and take it ALL
Its weakness-its folly, if you please
Nay, even my sins, if ou come to that,
May have been helps, not hindrances.
If saved my body from The flames
Because that once / had burned my hand;
Or kept myself from greater sin
By doing less-you will understand
1t was better suffered little pain,
Better sinned for a little time,
II the smaIting warned me back from death
And the sting Of sin withheld from crime.
Who knows its strength by trial, will know
What strength must be set against sin;
And how temptation is overcome
lie has learned who has felt its power within.
Aud who knows how a life at the last may show
Why, look at the moon from where we stand
Opaque uneven, you say; yet it shines,
luminous sphere, complete and grand
- let my past stand just as it stands,
And let me now, as may, grow old;
am what am, and my life for me
Is the best, or it had not been, hold.

The Belgium newspapers give the
following account of a dreadful 'trag-
edy that occurred three weeks ago in
little village near Brussels. A far

der their nieaa during her sleep, to
rob her of 1900 tranrs that she was
taking to her sick mother. In order
to foil the future searches of the
police they, previously to perpetra-
ting the crime, were engaged in dig
ging 8 large hole in their garden, SC
as to bury the body in it, when the
young girl, who, not heiRg asleep
had heard her terrible sentence
rushed out by the window and ran
to the police station, distant one mile
only. But as soonas she was out, the
daughter of the wicked farmer, who
was not expected home that night
came back, and, not wishing to awaken
anybody in the house, went noiseless,
ly into the bed where her cousin had
been lying a few minutes ago. She
soon fell asleep, and thus her mother
not being aware Of the providcntia
substitution, owing to the darkness o.
the night. broke her own daughter S
head with an axe.
This being done, the two were go.
ing to The garden, carrying the corpse
enveloped in a bedspread, when twc
gendarmes, accompanied by the fusll'
tive girl, rushed into the house with
lanterns in their hands. AT the
sight oi their niece, whom they
thought they had murdered, the two
wretches took off the covering anc
found their unfortunate child killet
by their own hands. The man, taking
a large butchers knife, plunged i
into his breast and fell dead on tn
ground. As to the woman, who wa
