4 LOST HOUR.

a golden hour on a Summer morn,
when half the world was still,
The dew WAS fresh on the new mowu lay,
And the bridal veil Of the fair young day
HuuEo'er the'purpIe hill.
Tbs heep-beiIs tinkIed across the slopes,
Sweet a. an eldn chime;
Butterflies 9itted uthwart the down,
Bees went mumuring, busy and brown,
Over ths fragrant thyme
A laugnid calm and 70 duh content,
Silence instead Of speech;
The wind sighcd low, and the Lark sang high,
But the golden hour Of our lives went by,
And drifted ont OF reach.
We both went back to an eager life;
But IN its pause to-day
The dream Of that golden hour returns,
And my iaded spirit frets and yeans
For one chance swept away.
The year. creep on, aud the heart grows tired
Even Of hopes fulfilled,
And turns away from the worlds strong, wine
With fayered lips, that must ever pine
For that pure drIught We spilled.
Ann yet pcrchauce when oUrloHg day wsnes
age hath its joys Iate-b0n3
We shall meet again ON the green hillside.
And find, IN the solemn eysu-tide.
Tie hour we lost az morn

GEN. LEE AND HIS CHMDREN.-While
at Petersburg in the winter of 1864 Gen.
Lee attended preaching in a crowded
chapel, and noticed a little girl, dressed
in faded garments, standing Just inside
the door and timidly looking around for
seat. Come with me, my little lady
said the great soldier, land you shall sit
by me" And taking the little girl by
the hand he secured her 4 comfortable
seat at his side.
Rev. w. II. Plat, who was rector OF
st. Paul's Church during the war, gives
the following: One day in Richmond a
number of little girls were rolling hoops
on the sidewalk, when word was passed
from one to another that Gen. Lee was
riding toward them. They all gathered
in a still group to gaze upon one of whom
they had heard so much, when, to their
surprise, he threw his rein to an attend
ing courier, dismounted, kissed every one
of them, and then mounting, rode away,
with the sunny smile of childhood in
his heart and plans of great battles in his
mind.
Once, in Petersburg, he called to see a
child in whom he felt special interest,
and finding her sick, begged TO be shown
to her room. When the another, who
was at a neighbours for a moment, came
home, she found him by the bedside of
her sick child, ministcring to her comfort
and cheering her with his word.
In calling one day in Petersburg upon
the accomplished lady of the gallant and
lamented Gen. a. =. Hill, his bright lit
tie girl met him Mt the door and exclaim-
ed, with that familiarity which the kind
hearted Old hero had taught her: ''Oh,
General Lee, here is Bobby Lee (helding
up a puppy; do kiss him" The Gener-
al pretended to do so, and the little girl
was delighted.

ty of showing it.-EXchange.

Texas will Of course, have her favor

too trying upon 50 elderly man and
