When the Songs GONE Out OF
Your Life.

When the Songs Gone Out of
Your Life.
"When the songs gone ont of your life.
you can't start another while it's q ringing
in your ears, but it's best to have bit Of
silence, and out o. that maybe a psalm'Il
come by and by."-[ Edward Garrett.
When the songs gone out of your life,
That you thought would last to the end
That first sweet song of the heart,
That no after days can lend;
The song of the birds to the trees,
The song of the wind to the flowers,
The song, that the heart sings low to itself
When it wakes in life's morning hours;
"You can start no other song"
Not even a tremulous note
Will falter forth on the empty air;
1t dies in your aching throat.
1t is all IN vain that you try,
For the spirit of song has fled
The nightingale sings no more to the rose
When the beautiful flower is dead.
So let silence softly fall
On the bruised hearts quivering strings;
Perhaps from the loss of all, you may learn
The song that the seraph sings;
A grand and glorious psalm
That will tremble and rise and thrill,
And fill your breast with its grateful rest
And its lonely yearnings still.

our powers, after many struggle, shall

And now dark shadow is thrown across

Cheerfulness has been taken away; but,

LOngWOOd Yearly Meeting.

THE SESSIONS, BEGUN, YEsTERDAY-THE PROMINENT
PERSONS PREsENT.
LoNawooD, June 10.
The twenty-second yearly meeting of the Pro-
gressve Friends began this morning and will
continue three days. Among those in attend
ance are Oliver johnson and wife, William Lloyd
Garrison, Edward Everett Hale, Francis d. Gage
and other lesser lights. The place of meeting
is in a modest frame building, small in size and
plain in finish, but what man disdained to do in
the way Of ornamentation nature has lavish
ly compensated for. Situated in ono of the most
fertile portions of our Commonwealth, with
rolling hills and natural terraces decked out in
brightest green the darker hue of the woods
forming backgrounds pleasant to the eye. The
view in every direction is extensive and grand.
To the west rises the spre of "Cedarcroft," the
beautiful home of Bayard Taylor, and just south
the mansion of Mr.. T.. E. Sickles, of the Union
Pacific while dotted here and there are the
snug farm houses, telling of comfort and nod
ding ease. In front of the church is a cemetery,
one of the most beautiful in the whole country.
The session of to-day opened with the reading
of minutes, the appointing of committees and
other business, with discussion in the after
noon. Tomorrow we may expect to have num-
ber of addresses and discussions. The pleasant
and shaded enclosure is filled with the old and
young Of the neighborhood, who sit in the open
air and enjoy the breeze while the humming of
the bees gives a sense of drowsiness to the
scene,
