LOVED AND LOST ONES.

We have been requested TO publish the
following from the LomsrWe Christian
Observer. The author may be recognized
by few of our readers as former resi-
dent of this town, and the tribute is, in
part, to the memory of a very lovely lady
whose remains repose in Edge Hill
Cemetery" We think the writer faulty
in the choice of his caption-it should
have been: Not Lost, but Gone Before" 4"
sIy Mother and My Baby BOY:
Died August 20, ls49. Died February ~, 1860.
Oh the dark nights, the long aad dreary days;
The days and nights are Ill the same to me
Why are they sad and lone? the devious ways,
Tha, lead all mortas TO the boundless seas,
When summoned hence, stand upon.its shore,
And gaze astounded at its swelling tide,
Of countless millions who have gone before;
Will any welcome me TO the other side?
All mother dear, | am still thy boy,
Though nearly thirty years have taken hight
Since angels waited thee 10 endless Joy,
And clothed thee in robes Of spotless white
Dost even turn ;hy ewes to this dull sphere,
And view thy children scattered far and wide?
The aged father with small. comfort here
Dost long to have us at thy loving side
Oh mother dear, look down pray;
am sometimes weary of this world OF pain,
would my head upon thy bosom lay,
And have thee dry my fearful eyes again.
Methinks 7 see thee in that heavenly space,
Communing with one who left US here iu grief;
Now of commanding form aud shining, radiant
face,
Whose woudrous growth does almost pass belief
In Gods brightworld he s reached TO mans estate;
Perhaps king, he regns in regal glory,
MAY it be mine to share his heavenly fate;
And listen, charmed by his celestial story.
lie knew no sin, nor care, or earthly sorrow,
Nor mans gncharity, aud groundess hate;
Injustice thin ne 'cr flew the fostering arr ow
Tue archer would fain withdraw-dlGs ! too tate
All. baby boy though mourned in scalding tears,
Though grief seemed endless, and no comfort
So sad on eat th have grown these latter years,
would not, il could. recall thee here.
Oh, darling son, though now king with power
Oh, mother dear, though now an angel bright,
Look down pray, look down this very hour.
Shed on my path some ray of heavenly light,
My mother aud my son, oh be MY guiding stars,
Shed some bright ray upon my thorny path,
Point out the right. assist me in my prayers,
Lead me to God, and shield me from his wrath.
In that best place are many mansions rand,
Reserved for those who truly love the Lord;
Help me to follow Ills directing hand,
II ,lp me to trust and be lieve upon His Word.
Aud then for aye shalt peace and glory reign,
No more we'll voyage on iies troubled sea,
Rut grander than the echoes of the sounding
main,
We will sing His triumph through eternity.
Nav all we love be numbered with that throng,
All wrongs forgotten in those blssfg days,
Aud as we swell the nerer-endng song,
To Him, the Lamb Of God, well give the praise.

The Funny Things We DO.

Have you ever reflected, upon the very many
funny things we do for which we can give no
particular reason? How is it that we do not
give five cheers, four cheers, two cheers, one
cheer? Why is it that we give three cheers
and M more? Who can tell?
Why is it that the maDrity Of people nse
their right hand in preference to their left, aud
cannot help smiling a; those who use the
latter?
Why is it that man cannot sec bundle
of tooth picks without helpipg himself when
he does not uced them at all
Why is it that a small boy cannot let the
thn-waisted wasp fly in peace, without
furiously going for it with bis new straw hat !;
or why is it that the small girl always insists
upon Juggling home kitten that has not even
learned how to open lis eyes?
Why is il that when any one asks us how
many days there are in certain mouth, we
always say over 10 ourselves:
Thirty DAYS hath September,
April, June and November
Why is il that we turn 10 tho right instead
or the left, which is more preferable, and il
adonted would save many an accident on
railroad and highway The driver always
sits upon the right Of his vehicle; in turning
TO the right he is fartherSt away from the
wagon he passes, aud unless he is an expert
cannot tell how close he comes to the wheels
Of the man who goes by him, whereaS, il he
turned to the left side he could look straight
down. see to tie fraction Of en- inch how close
he was approaching an obstacle. and thus
avoid IT, The engineer runs upon the right
hand track, and sits upon the right hand side
of his cab The long, narrow locomotive,
with its sand tower, belfry and smoke stack is
in front of him. cutting off his outlook aud
impeding his observation. He can view only
his own track. whi the opposite track. save
at a distance. is almost wholly unseen by him.
tOn some railroads the reverse is the custom.)
Custom, owing 10 causes we Know not Of,
has established these curious precedents, and,
from observation and education we inviting
" do thousands Of things that arc, to say the
least, funny, and that we cannot possibly
explain.
