pryoND THE CHILLING WINDS.

Revond these chilling winds and gloomy
pevnn5 deaths solemn portal,
rhorc il n land where beauty never dies,
Andioye becomes immortal.
A land where light is never dimmed by shade
Whose fields are ever .vernal,
whore nothing beautiful can ever 1ade,
But blooms for aye, eternal.
We NAV not know how sweet the balmy air,
How FRIGHT and fair its flowers;
We NAV not hear the songs that echo there,
Through these enchanted bowers.
That citv's shining towers we may not see
With our dim earthly vision,
For death. the silent warden, keeps the key
That opes those gates elysian.
But sometimes when adown b Western eky
The fiery sunset fingers,
Ifa Golden gates swing inward noieelessly,
Unlocked by silent fingers;
And while they stand q moment half ajar,
Cleans from the inner glory
Stream brightly through the azure vault a1ar,
And half reveal the story.
o land unknown! o land of love Divine!
Father all wise, eternal,
Guide. guide these wandering feet of mine
Into those pastures vernal!

DRIFTING.

Oh, the winds were all ALLOWING down the
blue, blue sky,
And the tide was outward flowing, and the
rushes fitted by;
All The lilies seemed to culver
On the fair and dimpled river,
All the West was golden red;
We were children four together,
In the pleasant autumn weather.
And merrily down we sped.
Oh. the town behind us faded in the pale, pale
Ms We left the river shaded, and we drifted
And t across the harbor bar,
Where the hungry breakers are
You and Grace, and Tom and L
To the Golden Lane with laughter,
Where we'd live In peace thereafter,
Just beyond the golden sky.
Oh, tho winds were chilly growing o'er the
gray. gray sea-,
When a white-w1nged bark came blowing DER
the pillows on our lee.
Cried the skipper, all a-wonder:
mercy on US /! over yonder-
Bear a hand, my lads. with me-
Four young children all together,
In this pleasant evening weather,
= Going a-drifting out to seal"
An our prayers were unavailing, all Jul fond,
