NV Cousin Charlie {!

Nv mother and | lived all alone in
tho tiny cottage which WAS almost the
sole property my father had left nH.
We bad been living some years il
thi. lonely way, for the friends OF
prosperous days had nearly all fl'e"
away from us, when letter Arrived
from my aunt Martina, in India, wh'c,
WAS destined to change the whole cue
rent Of our lives.
The letter WAS not such as We ha !
expected. Aunt Martha wrote that
she had received the tidinss Of her
brothers death while watching by tl-
dying bed OF her husband-that she,
too, WAS now a widow, and her child
fatherless--that our grief must have
beeo hers in any case. but was now
the more deeply felt because similar
bereavement had fallen upon herself
We. she supposed, were in our own
home, surrounded by troops Of frieads
while she battIed with her sorrow
among strangers in a far land, and
with her son love for her sole conso
lation.
Thus bere.ved, she wrote. she felr
it impossible longer to relnain IN In
dia. She should come homo, reach
ing New York in the spring OF the
70 lowing year, and she and her so'
would gladly take up their abode with
us for a while.

other in dlsmay. 1t WAS already the
spring Of the year following that IN
which my aunt's letter hal been
written, that letter had eviienel y
been delayed, and sho and her son
might haye been passengers npon the
very ship that brought it to our
shores. How were we to provide for
their accommodation in our tiny cot
tag.? How dspose Of the train OF
foreign servants they would doubtless
bring with them
We had little tim, to spend in un
certainty, for the evening mail bro't

New York, in which she announced
that she and her son would be with
US by the latter part OF the week with
two servants and the bulk Of their
luggage. So the question OF ways
and means must be discussed, in com
mittee Of the whole, at once.
"By the way, mamma" | asked,
how old is Cousin Charlie? thought
Aunt Martha had lost all her children
in that unhealthy climate. don't

And ] am sure your father told
me she had lost all. ! seldom read
her letters myself. but think this

Gone are the beautiful dreams Of the past
Vanished and buried from sight,
knew they were all too happ" TO last,
Still I clasped them to me, close and fast
Till they perished in darkness and night
o, life was 90 pleasant and love was so
sweet
The DAYS 40 long and bright:
love your outstretched hand to meet
While my heart with love and laughter
beat,
You--you were my life and light.
But now you are calmly at rest.
Your hands 50 white and chill
Are folded peacefully over your breast
While |, with spirit Of sad unrest.
Wander up to your grave ou the hill.
l think how 1 saw you last, as you lay
SO calm and stately and fair.
Your memory maketh all my day,
I see your clear bl"e eyes alway
Aud your NIFTY golden hsir.
Oh. I hear your voice. clasp your hand
But awake-the dream has fled
Am alcnr in this hesolate land
This dreary desert of burning sand,
And you. my darling. are dead.
