THE BOTTOM DRAWER.

In the best chamber in the house,
Shut up in dim, uncertain light,
There stood an antique chest of drawers,
OF foreign wood, with brasses bright.
One morn woman frail and gray
Stepp'd totteringly across the floor
''Iet in" said she, the light of day
''Then, Jean, unlock the bottom drawer !!
The girl, in all youths loneliness,
Knelt down with eager curious face,
Perhaps she dreams of Indian silks,
Ofjewels and of rare old lace.
But when the summer sunshine fell
Upon the treasurers headed there
The tears rushed to her tender eyes,
Her heart was solemn as q prayer.
III.
"Dear grandmamma !" she softly sigh q,
Lifting withered rose and palm;
But on the elder face was naught
But sweet content and peaceful calm
Leaning upon her staff, she gazed
Upon the bahy's half-worn shoe;
little frock of finest lawn,
A hat with tiny bows of blue
ball, made fifty years ago;
A little glove; a tassel d cap;
A half-done lOng-division sum;
Some school books fastened with strap.
She touched them all with trembling nps-
"How much she said, the heart could pear
eAh, Jean thought that could die
The day that first laid them there.
"But now it seems so good to know
That all throughout these weary years
Their hearts have been untouched by grief.
Their eyes have been unstained by tears,
Dear Jean, we see with clearer sight,
When earthly love is almost DER;
Those children wait me in the skies,
For whom lockd that sacred drawer"
