.sTHE LOST JEWELL

LITTLE HUGH.
Gentle, loving Mother, ne is gonel
His dimpled cheek no more will touch thy
breast;
No more, the sweet musical tone,
Float from his lips, to thine all fondly prest.
His was the bright morning hour,
And he hath passed in beauty from the day,
A lovely bud, not yet a flower
Torn in its sweetness, from the parent spray.
The death wind has swept him to his soft re
pose,
As frost in spring time blights the early rose
His smile and happy laugh are lost to thee,
Earth must his mother and his pillow De.
But-dear friend forbear thy weeping,
Lay thy weight Of sorrow down.
Leave thy jewel in Jesus keeping,
Lend it to adorn His crown.
Let thy faith and love be stronger,
Though the tide of grief o'erwhelm-
Thou must wait little longer,
Ere He will give thee back thy gem.
Purer than the dews of morning,
Brighter than the stars of night,
Is thy jewel, in His crown adorning,
In that world of Heavenly light.
March, 1873.

been an immense favorite with all of

with the dashing young ladies from
Chicago, the fpsyfopsy girls from
Louisville, and the rich ones from Oil
City. He has danced more, sat on the
balcony longer, and in closer proximity
to beautiful young ladies, and walked
over to the graveyard with more rich
and aristocratic girls from the Claren-
don, than any beau in Saratoga And
