 lIn memory of Maggie Janr Mccarthy, who died March a5th. HIN aged . years writtn and IL tp e;iuly presented 10 lcr par ntN by Mrs, J. N 0aillghor Just year 'tis tonight since . shadow Fell over our hrarih rom the tomb, And n hand that Was long and fearful Qurn"hrd the light and the Joy In our home And it dnrprur'l. aud durdcned. and Hc.tlcd Al We watched it with bnicd breath And With AT anl tr mhln,. w. waited, For wc Enuw 'lwas tLN shadow f lratn. Jugt year since gay voices at twilight Sang hiithe free rom sorrow nr icT But were hushed into EurFuwnll silence Err fine dead ni the night drew near And hearts that wor' yuuug ut thr sunset, Ere the morning dawn hnd grown old For form ,at was joyous and lovely Lay rigid and pulscluss, and cold. Like beautiful irall white lily That was chilled by untmrly frost. Su CHlH and serene and lovely Lay our darling loved unl lost. She lay in her waxcu beauty All bathcl in the light that came, Through the gates of heaven, as the angels Came uown for our Maggie Jauc- With futtcr of angel pinions, An echo of angel Mirth, Then backward they sped rejoicing. With the treasure they bore from the earth. From the earth, with its sorrow and anguish, From the hearts were stricken with pam, Back tp GOd and the welcoming angels, And the hUmc from whence she cane. Then we closed the dark eyes gently, And bowed, as We kissed the rOd Though our hearts were crushed and broken, For V 6 knew she Was sale with Gnd. Yes, with God, for those eyes If beauty Held light they had never known, And we knew it was caught from her Sayiour's
 smile. As He wtlcomcd our darling home. We laid her away in the valley. T. her quiet .re!mless sleep, Where the pine tree murlmurS her requiem And the angels safe watch keep, And turned our steps to our desolate home, Int threading to enter here, For we shrank from the thought of the empty
 crib,
 And the sight of tho empty chair, Though lost to our sight her memory Shall brighten the years that remain. Of this lie ill time and eternity blend Ill the life that We hope tu glin .tnd her spirit our angel guardian be Az long as lite be given, And the light har purity lc the light That will lead our sudls to heaven. Time hath q soothing power, AuJ the years tn y come and go, Will rob our grief oi it's first sharp sting, And our hearts oi their first great woe Though faded flower or a tress of hair, Or the toys We have shut from our sight, Mly Taken UT glict and our sorrow again, Anl wetp, as We weep tonight. Yet it will soothc our hearts to remember, That she waits by the gate of gold, And the bahy hands are hrckuuing Us up To the SavioUrs ShcltcrIug iold And swsct at tho twilight hour when the soul To mystic thought is giTon
 To fancy tue whispering zcphrys her voice And the air with her presence is laden. Then farewell farewell Maggie Jane, in sorrow We gave thee up: And with iainting hearts and loathing We Gr tnk the b 1t cup :;

The undcrtow caught him and sent him

found eight dollars and halfin his pauts

them up town and soaked the clothes for
nine dollars and the watch for twelve
dollars. Then We went around town on
q sort Of jamboree and spent the money.
About Ave O'Clock In the morning We
were drinking up the last dollar With
some of the boys at the Blue Corner,
