THE FoRsAKEN.
BY EsTELrA ANNA IIEwls.

bi fsIEll-A ANNA LkNls-
1t hath been said, for all who die
There is 4 tear;
Some pining bleeding heart to sigh
Der every bier;
But In that hour Of pain and dread,
Who will draw near
Around my humble couch. and shed
One farewell tearf
Who watch hfe's last. departing ray,
In deep despair,
An soothe my spirit On its way
With holy prsyeri
What moarners foadd my bier will come
In weeds Of woe"
And follow me 10 my lang home
Solemn and dow
When lying on my clayey bed,
In Icy sleep,
Who ther, by pure affection led,
win come and weep
By the pale moon implant the rose
Upon my breast,
And bid II cheer my dark repose
Mylo~ly rrsti
Could but know, when I am sleeping
Low in the ground.
One faithful heart would there be keeping
As II some gem lay shrined beneath
That sod's cold gloom,
And light the tomb.
Yes, In that hour II could feel,
Prom halls Of glee
And Beauty's presence one would steal
In secrecy
And come and sit and weep by me,
In nights deep noon-
Oh would ask Of Memory
No other boom.
But ali lonelier fate is mine
A deeper woe;
From all love in youths sweet time,
soon must go
Draw round me my cold robes Of white,
In dark spot
To sleep through DEATHS long, dreamless nigh
Lone and forgot

a very peculiar custom-something like the gold

'.Whenyer a venerable couple have trod the

TO banquet under their roof, from every quarter
of the land, all their children and grandchildren,
in whose presence is re-performed the ceremony
that made them man and wife half century
before, when the feasting and the dancing, which
continue for two or three nights together, he
speak most heartfelt happiness, as well rs graf

from that time until separated by death, the aged

Music IN THE HoUsR.-A house without music
is like nursery without children-silent, gloomy
and desolate. Music is the harmonic soul of life,
brcathed or suggested everywhere in nature, and
only absent from the lips and souls of those who
are aft for treason, strategem, and spoils.s
The influences of music not only soothing
and delightful to the ear, but are refining, puri-
flying, and exalting TO the mind and heart. The
soul lives its rarest hours in the atmosphere of
melody and song, and we contemplate Paradise
not untittingly, as realizing our supremest dream
of felicity, with its musical enchantment-its
hynming seraphs who ''adore and burIi, with &C.
stasies that can find utterance only in song. Ex-
peaience attests that the habituation of child
hood to musie-as TO the presence of fowers-is
one of the surest means of toning down harsh
temper and evil passions in the bud.

Kiss MI, MAMA.-Kiss me, mama, before !

The little head sinks contentedly on the pillow,

bright eyes close and the rosy lip is reveling in
bright and sunny dreams of innocence. Yes, kiss
it, mama, for that good night kiss will lnger in
memory when the giyer lies mouldering in the
grave. The memory of a mothers kiss has cheer
ed many lonely WANDERERS pilgrimage, and has
been the beacon light to illuminate his desolate
heart; for remember, life has many stormy bill
low to cross, many n rugged path to climb, with
thoms to pierce; and we know not what is in
store for the little sweetly slumbering,
with no marring care to disturb its peaceful
dreams. The parched and fevered lip will be-
come dewy again rs recolleetions bears to the
sufferers couch mothers love-a mothers kiss.
Then kiss your little ere they sleep; there
is magic power in that kiss which will endure
to the end of life.

A representative Of the LKADkR o
gagged Robt Law, esq, in conversation
yesterday shout the projected Wyo-
ming, Montana and Pacific railroad
The gentleman said that from all the
best sources Of information he learns
that the road will be started as soon as
the line 10 located, and that 100 miles
will be built this season. The three
leading directors Of the Union Pacific,
viz Sidney Dillon, Jay Gould and
Fred. L. Ames. are all earnest In their
desire that the work be speedily CON-
meneed. IL Is understood that Gen. J.
7. Clark has received the necessary au-
thority to 90 forward and construct the
road. Hence, all that retards progress
Is the locating Of the line. Forty-hye
men, divided into three surveying
corps. are in the field a~scertaining the
best route, and As soon a a conclusion
Is reached and n line fixed finally to
Fort Laramie. ground viii be broken.
One line has already been made, but
there seem 20 be several objections
thereto, hence the continued surveys.
We are assured that the bill nov be-
fore congress Is not vital 10 the road.

The many friends Of Nj. and Mrs.
Annett deeply sympathizs with them In
the sad loss they sustained yesterday in
the death Of their eldest child, Mabel.
She had been III but u few days, the
fatal spell coming suddenly while the
charming little girl was in the highest
enjoyment Of health. She was stricken
down as the finely growing twig Is ruth
lessly snapped by the cruel blast. Not
yet six years Of age, she was just enter
ing that period Of youth which best
realizes the happiness Of childhood.
Her little life was AL flowers. She gave
ine promise Of developing rare womaniy
qualities, and becoming q great pride
TO her parents and an ornament 10 So

Only those who have lost q child can
properly appreciate the unspeakable
pain Of those parents only those can
fathom the depth OF the void created
In the home circle ; only those can
measure the absence Of pattering fest
and gleeful tongue; only those can
think Of the world OF flial affection
that Is blotted out In the death OF .
loving child. Those who have them
selves realized the loss. again sustained,
for the third time, by Mr.. and Mrs.
