THE FIRST SNOWFALL.

The snow had begun in the cleaning,
And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
With a silence deep and white.
Every pine, and FIR, aud hemIock,
Wore ernine too dear for an Earl
And the poorest twing on the elm tree
Was fringed inch deep with the pearl.
From sheds new-roofed with Carrara
Came Chandeliers muffied crow,
The stiff rails were softened to swan 's-dOwn,
And stip futtered down the snow.
stood and watched by the window
The noiseess work Of the sky,
And the sudden furries of snow birds.
Like brown leaves whirling by.
I thought of a mound in sweet Auburn,
Where little head-stOne stood
Where the flakes were folding it gently,
As did robins the babes in the woods.
Up spoke our little Mabel,
Saying, "Father, who makes it snow ?"
And I told her Of the good Ali-Father
Who cares for US below.
Again I looked at the snow fall.
And thought Of the leaden sky
That arched o'er our first great sorrow
When the mound was heaped so high.
remember the gradual patience
That fell from the cloud like snow,
Flake by flake, healing aud hiding
The scar of that deep stabbed woe.
And again to the child whispered,
The snow that husheth all,
Darling, the Merciful Father,
Alone make it fall"
Then with eyes that saw not, kissed her,
And she kissed back, but could not know
That my kiss given to her sister
Folded close under deepening snow.

the interference of any foreign powers in
