THE CLARION.

by y. J. ABBoTT.
Our beautiful love is dead
See her as she lies, 80 white and calm,
No passion tears and but tuneless psalm
Is sung above her head.
The limbs Of angel grace
Are settled 10 their last and long repose;
watched and saw the last breath ut the
close,
As from her face.
The light forever died, .a
The violet eyes are Iusrreless, and crimson
lips apart,
Aud stilled, WITHHOLDING, at last the tickle
heart
And yet | sighed!
Sighed DER the love that once did paint
A sensuous summer time on forbiddipg
skies;
And croSned her roseate realm In gorgeous
dyes
Like aureole Of a saint.
Yet saw it fade away
Like some rare tropic bloom whose fragrant
heart
Was crushed and bloodless by the north
winds dart
From out wintry day.
And / regret
The trustees passion which with the season
died;
But then the void it left is not so deep and
wide
But life can soon forget.
y
Now thought turns back
TO langrous times in sweet but distant
past,
And sun drouzed days, with love fit by so
fast,
Adown their glistening track,
That buta filful CLEAN,
catch, of FURNISHED amber tints ripple in
the hair
And faint half glmpses of cheek and brow
as fair
Asseraph's seem
She was not dead, .. ...... .
The day thought and like foul told her
farewell;
She lives, my wretched, storm swept future
10 ioretell,
With all hope fled.
Oh, Just for one brief hour,
long to bring her back into these reckless
arms,
And hold her fast, unheeding those old time,
rude alarms
Life's sweetest dover
just one little hour
To taste again the Heaven, sold for hell
joy, rapture bliss know too well
Loves mighty power.
Now that fOreverm0rc
She lives, hut lives her life outside my own:
Aud indifference to IA fearful passions
grown
Yet hopeless cvermorc.
! see her now
Beyond the gloom drapcd summit OF my
wasted lite,
stainless, heavenly hing, no wildering
strife
Upon the brow.
That once sworc
was commonplace hut oh that now sec
From out the shadows of despair and that
cternally,
She will explore.
In joylcss calm,
The long dead reaches OF my lovcless past
IN angel guiSe, with pity sweet as vast,
ct bring no balm;
This heart all dcsolate.
Walls out its miserie, poor weak wordess
song,
Ger hopes which lie there, buried deep and
long;
BY human fate.
by some unwisc forsaking,
We hing with restless desperate hand this
morn away,
SOME boon which in a coming sunless day
Would keep the heart from breaking
see now thro' mist Of years
Asroil their dense dark shadows over me.
All that I've lost, all, all save memory
Amoist with tears
And by this life of mine.
know its swectcr, brighter part went ont
with her
And now sit and muse alone, helpless
worshipper
AT crumbled shrine.

A Strange Assembly of Birds,
Meridian Mercury

Meridian Mercury
NJ the residence of J. w. Flake, near
Oak Grove, in kcmper county on Mon
day evening last, about nightfall, there
appeared very singular flock of birds.
and knowing nothing of their species we
are somewhat at u loss to know how to
describe them. In form they were like
the martin and about the size, but very
different in their dress. Had n yerv
small sharp beak, very black. Across
their eyes they wore a yellow streak.
The top OF their heads were n bright
green, AEellow ring around their neck
Black pointed wings and tail. White
breast. And the most miraculous of it
all was they were tame birds. They
Hooked into the dwelling, the dining
room, labratory, cribs and stables until
they filled all the vacant places in the
houses, and tho remainder of them took
up their abode under the houses for the
remainder of the night. From where
they came or where they went, is vet to
be learned. The little wanderers were
out ana gone next morning before any
one had time to sec them make their de.
parture.

Especial Cablegram to the Globe

Special Cablegram to the Globe
LONDON, Dec 15.---The queen yesterday
paid her annual tribute to the memory of
the late Prince Consort, by visit to his
monsoleum at Frogmore. The impressive
ceremonies which have always heretofore
been performed the 14sh of December, the
anniversary of the princes death, were
practically omitted. The Prince of Wales
was for the fret time unaccountably abb
sent, and quite sensation was created by
the manifest Indifference displayed by
nearly all the members of the royal fam
lily, not excepting the queen herself, on this
unusually solemn occasion.
The general condemnation of the hu-
mlllstlng irresolution Of the ministry on
the Egyptian question has diverted criti-
cism from the prime minister's second
choice for the speakership of the house of
commons. 1t ls not believed Mr.. Goschen.
the rremIer's first nominee, really declined
to be candidate for the chair on the
ground OF short sightedness. II is
tnought that was merely pretext alleged
through reluctance to weaken his party by
an open declaration of his unwillinpness
TO endorse ministry whose policy he dis
trusts on many points. AS speaker, Mr..
Goschen would have commanded the re-
spect and confidence of all elements of the
house, but Mr.. Arthur w. Peel is regarded
as rather too small man for the chair in
the commons, Public estimate does not
assign to him either the qualities of mind
or the parliamentary training to fit
him for part which now is far more
responsible, difficult and delicate than it
used to be IN pre-obstruction days.
