THE SENSE OF LOSS.

HE following lines are carved in Kensal Gree
netery. In memory of Anna" of whom onl
dates of her birth, marriage and death :
nchal, in Madeira, are recorded:
II is not at the hour of death,
While mourning on the parting breath:
II Is not while we look our last,
The present all-forgot the past;
II IL not while we watch the eye
Closing with deaths last Quivering sigh
We feel our loss.
It is not when we gently lay
The loved remains in deaths array;
Il ia NOT while with nOiselcss tread
We gather round the sleeping dead,
And for few sad mourning days
On what w;sa precious fOndly gaze
We feel our loss.
1t is not when. loves labor done.
The coffin closed, We one by one.
With trembling awe, approach and kneel,
And on the lid a farewell seal
From lips that cannot speak prayer.
81 deep the struggling feeling there
We feel our loss.
And when the last dread solemn rite
Ashes to ashes must unite,
In sable garb We stand around,
Bathing with tears the burial ground,
Which soon our treasure must conceal,
Then, then-indeed. grief We feel
But not our loss.
But when few more days are gone,
And yet we weep. but weep alone;
When all is as it was before,
Save one We never can see more;
When Others take that vacant place
So lately filled by one dear face
We feel our loss.
All. many a year may pass away,
And many Il sunbeam round us play,
And many a cloud of heavy woe
Darken our pathway here below;
But Joy. or grief, can ne'er cfface
What memory's pen alone can trace
There is our loss.

is open, . suggested Clark senior, whose
quick eye had detected two wreaths Of
smoke curling family around the corner
of the building. 81 guess they're only
tramps. They take it pretty cool, any
way"
A hearty, rollicking laugh rolling out
from behind the closed door caused
Uncle Price to stop and stare blankly
before him; then to jump to the ground
and throw open the corn barn door
precipitately, id spite of u warning cry
from Miss Abigail, who had approached
from the house. There were the two
causes of disturbance, one calmly tilted
back on barrel, the other in the midst
of another laugh.
"Je-rx-salemv' cried Uncle Price,
dashing his hat to the ground in the
extremity of his astonishment-'' David
Henryv'
Explanations ensued. The new-com-
ers were two sea-faring nephews of
Uncle Prices who had come down "be-
tween times to see how the farm stood
it," and had taken up quarters in the
corn barn, meaning to surprise the fam
lily ON their return.
"Took us for burglarsr' calculated
David Henry, going off into another
laugh, which communicated itself first
to Uncle Price, then to Aunt Marthy,
then to the Clarks in succession, Miss
Abigail alone remaining sober.
you've forgotten Bridget" she re-
marked, briefly, when she could make
herself heard.
Uncle Prices good-natured face
heightened, and he started for the
house, preceded, however, by the i'm
pulsive David Henry, who rushed into
the open kitchen door like whirlwind,
and, unconscious of snags ahead.
pitched headlong over the clothes-line,
which was still stretched across the
room.
Hello therev' said Uncle Price,
alarmed at the clatter which his
nephcw's boots made among the milk
pans on the dresser. care you hurt?''
David Henry picked himself up, NUT
tering something which had an oath in
it about "catlines and rigging" but
deigned no farther answer. All parties
being now on the scene, Uncle Price
cut the clothes-line and essayed to open
the cellar door; but this was easier said
than done. Bridget's fright was as
great as ever.
1t required the combined strength Of
two Clarks to force the door; which be.
ing done, they discovered Bridget or
the upper stairs, with not a particle Of
color in her Irish face, and her tongue
cleaving to the roof of her mouth in
terror.
If any artist had depicted faithfully
the various attitudes of the various per.
sons gathered around that cellar door
the picture would have made his for.
tune. Clark senior was the first to per.
ceive the comedy of the affair, and q
broad grim gradually spread over his
face, which was mirrored on the coun
tenances of his two sons. In one min.
ute the kitchen was ringing with uni.
versal and prolonged burst of laughter
One fact remains to be stated, that
is, that Bridget left the farm the next
day. Miss Abigail says little concern.

Hurry, now, it is almost twelve"
1t was of no use to demonstrate. Mol
lie was hurried upstairs, not knowing
whether to laugh or cry, and too much
frightened to do either, and was put in
to the aforementioned garments;
then, without a moments delay, she
was pushed down to the front door.
"Hurry, nowv' said Miss Abigail.
"Pll have that gun up al the front
window, and if one of 'em chases you
Ill fire at him.
"Don'tr' cried Mollic. horror-strick-

"Well, well. run along!' and the
front door was cautiously opened and
as cautiously closed, and Moliie ran UNI
der the shelter of the east wall.
Uncle and Aunt Price, peacefully
jogging h0meward in the scant autumn
sunlight, were amazed to see a monde
script figure suddenly appear from a
clump Of hazel bushes at the foot of q
hill.
"Mercyr' said Uncle Price, dubious

In . moment more the apparition,

by the story that the - scarecrow' had

will you just see that the lower win

will you just see that the lower win
dows are fastened?'
After thorough examination of the
aforesaid easements, Miss Abigail came
back and took her invalid mother in
charge, with q final caution to Bridget
to "1et her know if she saw anyone
coming" Mollie, somewhat treasured
by the existing quiet, went up to her
own room and tried to forget the pres
ent in the latest of Mrs. SouthwOrth's
novels.
Meanwhile it would be impossible to
describe the condition of Bridgct's
mind, thus left alone in the kitchen.
Being firmly impressed with the con-
victiOn that unknown perils beset her,
ut first she dared not move from her
chair. The cackling of the sociable
fowls outside the door and each fresh
gust of autumn wind caused her new
terror. Finally, after long waiting, she
gained courage to cross the room and
light the fire, moving about on tiptoe,
with terrified chances behind her. If
Miss Abigail had known that it was a
quarter past eleven before the cabbage
was put over the fire, she would GER
tainly have scolded; but fortunately she
had enough to do upstairs. Bridget
at last took heart of grace, and seizing
the wash-basin, started for the cellar,
and the potatoes which were in its
farther corner. Bridget never entered
this cellar, which was excessively dark
and irregular, without crossing herself.
Now the prospect was especially terri
BILE, and. with a. muttered prayer to the
Virgin, she went down the stairs with
occasional haltings, and having filled
the basin with almost miraculous speed,
scurried back again. But to-day the
kitchen had almost rs many terrors
for her as the cellar, and halfway up
the stairs she was startled by a violent
gust of wind and an ominous sound
above.
