Dedicated To Sister Hattie.
This day he'd have been two years old,
The only lambkin of my fold;
Some months he's trod the streets of gold,
All sad and drear has been each day
Since tho sweet darling went away.
] think now Of the morn he came,
The little birding without name,
More precious gift than wealth or fame,
He filed the measure Of my thought.
For only Joy his coming brought.
From out my window can see
His little grave; that's left to me
With all the precious memory
The little clothes he used to wear,
And W avy tresses OF his hair.
| think OF all his winning ways,
His wondrous thirst for love and praise,
The gleefulness that crowned his days,
The patter of those tiIeless feet,
That wove unwritten songs 80 sweet.
Sad memories all. All, me! know
| saw HIM through the valley go;
Saw on his face deaths gentle woe
Saw his sweet life fade out from mine,
From mine into the life divine.
To life divine my gentle dove
Were all our dreams Of thee above,
close in one gush OF holy love;
There to his birthday has been given
The roseate dawn Of blessed heaven.
7 he glory Of that upper land
| ts breezes soft, and pure and bland,
His forehead and his cheeks have famed,
There never more sweet child to leave,
I'll fold him to my heart forever.
Now heaven doth seem more near to me,
More clear the roll of the jasper sea,
Against thy shors. eternity;
There drops within my soul balm,
God help me to be strong and calm NJ.

For the True Northerner.
LUCrLEE.

D, well do / remember
Ny boyhood's early home,
The farmhouse aud the orchard,
Where oft used to roam
With gay and happy schoolmates,
Whose hearts were full OF glee,
But the gayest OF them ali
Was fair, sweet " Lucy Lee"
When golden harvest apples
Grew ripe and rich and sweet,
always hid away
The best for her TO eat;
In after years by moonlight
We sat beneath that tree
All, then knew this heart loved
My fair, sweet Lucy Lee"
Her cheeks were like the roses,
Her brow like virgin snow,
Her steps were like fairys,
Her voice was soft and low;
Twas like the silvery music
OF the streamlet's gentle How;
Methinks often hear it,
Though 1t vanished long ago.
When saddle. thoughts come DER me,
And life is grief and gloom,
Methinks hear her whisper
OF everlasting bloom;
No other voice ID like hers,
Nor evermore can be-
To the heart whose love was wakened
By fair, sweet Lucy Lee"
When Wild war blew his bugle,
And the brave sons Of the North
To strife, and woe and carnage
So manfully went forth,
left the dear old farmhouse
For the proud ranks Of the free,
With many prayer and blessing
From fair, sweet Lucy Lee
When the battle ragged the fiercest,
And the murd'rous, leaden rain,
With the screaming. bursting bombsheli,
With corpses strewed the plain,
fought with hope and courage;
A hero he must be,
Who is worthy of the jewel,
The fair, sweet - Lucy Lee"
And when / fell, disabled,
BY rebels borne away
TO Libby's dreary prison,
Where fingered many day;
When the brave boys died around me,
When We numbered only three,
prayed that might live
For sake OF " Lucy Lee"
When my strong, right arm was shivereo
we'll could bear the pain,
knew that she would love me
When l returned again;
And. though we're disabled
'Twere glorious to be
The soldier and the hero
Beloved by Lucy Lee
Now, the cruel strife is over,
And am home once more,
Dear, fond friends throng around me
AS in the days OF yofe,
But they tell me they haze buried
Beneath our trysting tree,
The idol OF my boyhood,
The far. sweet " Lncy Lee
When sounds the last reveille,
When We wake 10 stI1fe 10 more,
know that ! shall meet her
Upon the shining shore;
ween that ! shall know her
When her shining form | see:
shall know among the angels
