account of the return of little Mary Master

THE CLOUD.

Far, on the brink of day,
Thou standest as the herald of the dawn,
Ere fades the nights last pickering spark away
In the rich blaze of morn.
Above the eternal SHOWS
By winter scattered on the mountain height
To shroud the centuries, thy visage glows
With prophetic light.
Calm is thine awful brow;
AS when thy presence shrined divinity,
Between the flaming cherubim, so now
Its shadow clings TO thee. Ha..
Yet, as an ange; mild,
Thou, in the torrid nson, with sheftering wing
Dost Ger the earth, as on a weary child,
soothing influence bring.
And when the evening dies,
Still to thy frigned vesture cleaves the light,
The last sad glimmer of her fearful eyes,
On the dark verge of night.
&c. soon thy glories wanel
Thou, too, must mourn tue rose OF morning
Cold creeps the fatal shadow DER thy train,
And settles on thy head.
And, while the wistful eye
Yearns for the charm that wooed its ravished
gaze,
The sympathy of nature wakes a sigh,
And thus Its thought betrays.
Thou, like the cloud, my soul,
Dost, in thyself, of beauty naught possess;
Devoid the light of Heaven, vapor foul,
The veil of nothingness.

THE RICH AND THE POOR
BY LUcRETIA.


Riches and Poverty sat side by side;
The good gifts to one are all multiplied,
Heaped with the much from a bountifulhand,
Wealth, love and beauty all at her command;
Thoughts for the morrow are banished at VIII;
She has no wishes love can not fulfill;
Why should she notice the pain at her side
Room enough tween them, the world Is so
widel
Riches and Poverty sat side by side,
The rich one has comforts, the poor but her
pride;
All things are taken, all light from above,
Home, riches, and beauty-and last, even love.
Cold seemed the world, and dark, yet she felt
God made me your equal, but sparingly dealt
The good things of life-these all are for you
Precious gifts of the heart and promises true.
Riches and Poverty sat side by side;
A sigh filed the heart of the one who's denied.
sitting close by the rich must she witness her
10y,
wreathing smiles that she may not the fair
one annoy
eForgive me, o Father she prayed the same
night,
ssForgive me, and lead me once more to the
light;
Sorrows of heart made me question Thy will,
Weakness now give me Thy law to fulfill"
Riches and Poverty sat side by side;
The same God hath made them, yet to one
hath denied
All things in this world that could make heI
life bright
Even treasures of heart fade quickly from
sight.
But are there no riches for her up on high,
The precious soul treasures that never can die
Like Lazarus now, does she wait at the gate,
To enter at last to happier state?
