TIE SILENT MELODY

+'griug me my broken harp" he said:
I'VE both are wreeks-but as ye will
Though all its ringing tones have fled,
Their echos linger round 1t still;
IT had some golden strings I know,
But that was long-hoW long!-ago'
II cannot see Its furnished gold:
cannot hear its vanished tone; -,
Scarce can my trembling fingers holu
The pillared frame 50 l9n .i thelr OWL
We both are wrecks-a while ago
1t had some silver strings. know.
sRut on them Time too long has played
The solemn strain that knows no change.
And where of old my fingers etrayed
Yes. iron strings L knoW-l know
We both are wrecks Of long ago.
we both are wrecks-a shattered pair.
Strange to ourselves in Times disguise.
What say ye to the lovesick air
That brought the tears from Marian's eyes !
Ayei trust me-under breasts OF snow
Hearts could be melted long hgol
''Or will We hear the storm songs crash
That from. bis dreams the soldier WOKE
When battles cloud in thunder pfoKe!
Wrecks naught but wrecks-the time was when
We two were worth thousand men!
And 60 the broken harp they bring
With plying smiles that none could blame;
Alas there's not q single string
OF all that filed the furnished frame!
But see like children overjoyed.
His fingers rambling through inc Foiu!
s'I clasp thee, Ay =. mine ancientl yre,,: =.
Nay, guide my wandering fingers, There
They love to daily with the wire
AS Isaac played with Esau's hair.
Hush We shall hear the famous tune
That Marian called The Breath Of june!
And 30 they softly gather round:
Rapt In his tuneful trance he seems:
His fingers move, but not sound!
"A silence like the song OF dreams.
"There ye have heard the air, he cries
%.That brought tho tears from Marlan's eyes
Alb, smile not ct his fond conceit.
Nor deem his fancy wrought In vain:
TO him the unreal sounds are sweet
No diBcord mars the silent stain
Scored on lfes latest. starlit page
The voiceless melody OF age.
Sweet are the lips OF all that sing,
When Natures music breathes uneought,
But never yet could voice or string
80 truly shape our tenderest thought
As when by LIES decavng fire
Our fingers sweep the etringless Tyre!

be real loss. She has always been SO gra'
ciously ready to give time and attention

Amidst exciting and important movements,

has, happily, sIbdued the kaffr revolt with a
strong hand, and will maintain and develop

for the kaffirS themselves to be beaten Our
battles with the Indians in many respects re-
Semble the recent struggles in Africa, and
Will, We hope, terminate in similar manner
In favor of AnglO-SaxOns. If England We're
engaged in fighting the Indians, she would
undoubtedly furnish more troops than our
government is enabled TO provide. With all
OminOUs cloud hanging over the Mexican Dor

government experiences the annoyance of
needing the army in two places at once, and
OF feeling that in either place its troops would
be inadequate, as far as numbers are concern
