MISS LUDLOw'S HEART.

In his quick way John, late one even
ing in early December, came into the
sitting-room and stood before the blaz-
ing fire. Lutte laughed gleefully and
went TO him, twined her arm through his,
and said in ripping tones:
- / am SO glad you have put in an APP
pearance! 1t is long past O'Clock, and
| had already become anxious 10 see

evenings are long and dreary."

PEN SKETCHES.
AUDI Alteram Partem"


The moonlight streams thro' my lattice bars,
And falls on the floor in its ghostly white.
The smoke from my Flor del Fuma curls,
Aud vanishes in the hush of the night,
A dreamlike memory comes and goes,
Laden with human joys and woes.
Joys, that are bright when maiden smiles,
Hearts that beat in unison pure;
Roses and violeis browning her brow,
And future SO bright and sure,
Organ peals, and orange flowers,
Hearts beating time to the music's thrill,
A breathless silence-a word of love
And the chain is bound at their will.
Hoes when the last sad requiem is sung,
Roses fade as the violets die,
Life was to them day-like dream
Ended now, that the night draws nigh,
Organ dirges--howers of white
Rest on the bier of the one once true,
A breathless silence--a word of love
And the chain is severed in two
Oh what is life but dreary waste,
A fallen tear, half sung psalm,
A moment ofjoy, then starless night,
The night of the soul with endless calm.
seraph may dream Of Heaven on earth,
That its jaspar walls encircle it
But doubt-yes! doubt to the end of time,
And live my life as God sees fit.
The moonlight dies on the western hill,
And its darkening shadows fill the sky,
Dead ashes lie on the Fuina's tip,
Like our life hopes as they die,
But that dream like memory comes and goes
