We don't know why IT is tnat Mr.. Alfred
Miller the accomplished editor Of the South behd
Tr,hune. should choose to hide his light under
husbel by publishing his graceful verses under
no,, do ni,,as. nor do we know tha5'we are alto
ce,ber warranted in betraying the authorship M
ha, tried so hard to conceal. Yet We venture u
tell our readers that the following verses .ar'
from Mr. Miller's pen;
BEULAH.
When the autumn winds are roarine'
And the autumn rains are pouring
Increasingly against the pane
Beating there sad refraln'
When the fire is burning ulmiy
And the shadows waver grilniy
Along the chamber wall, c,,,
Then on my heart dark shadows iall'
All my Joy to sorrow turning,
All nv life within me burning,
While my throbbng heart and braih
Throb unto the sad refrain
OF the rain
Against the pane,
For nv darling, sainted, Beulah,
Whom loved-who loved me truly
Hath crossed the Stygian River
And is gone from me forever
Ere the last fond word was spoken,
The thread of life was broken, ,,,,..
And in the misty, haunted twilight,
between the sunlight and the starlighl'
Her spirit took Its Il ght -.
To the regions which are light;
To be seen no more by mortals
Yet she stands within the portals
OF tnat far of silent land
Reckoning with her slender hand

Be HAPPY.-It is the easiest thing in
the world 10 be happy, if men and woo-
men could only think so. Happiness Is
only another name for love, for where
love exists in household there happi-
ness must also exist, even though 1t has
poverty for it's close companion where
love exists not. even though it be in
palace. happiness can never come. lie
was cold and selfish being who origin
ated the saving that when poverty
comes in at the door, love flies out OF
the window" and his assertion proves
conclusively th?t he had no knowledee
of love. for unquestionably the reverse
Of the axiom quoted is nearer the truth.
When poverty comes in at the door, love
true love-is more than ever inclined
TO tarry. aud do battle with the enemy.
Let those who imagine themselves mis-
erable. before they find fault with their
surroundings, search in their hearts Tor
The cause. A few kind words, little
forbearance, or kiss, will open the way
10 a food of sunshine in house dark
ened by the clouds Of discord and
unamiRbility.
