 A DREAMLAND IDYL.
BY CALAMITY SAM.

Over from the dreamy eAdow lands of death A restless, angel spirit strayed, And stole my soul from slumber sweet, And with it sought the forest glade. Methought that near lake of darkness, Der which the signing willows swayed, lHaud'in hand we wandered,
 ], mortal, with my silent spirit maid. Across the dark and silent waters,
 Cleaned distant, restless star, At my feet the sad and surging pillows Murmured, Seek the shadowy land afar Through me seek that eternal Wonder, Where joy and bliss can never fade, 1n the wales of blest, forever rest
 With thy angelic spirit maid" Turned then to the phantom maiden, Towering closely at my side, Stretched forth my arms to clasp her, As in days before she died. "Oh, soul of her once adored,
 Tell me, ere yet seek the tide, Do they who rob the clay of life,
 With loved ones high above abide [" She softly sighed and spake in sadness, Like softest music, sweet and low, They ne'er awake in morn of gladness, Who thus check lfe's ebh and flow. The soul of man was made to mourn Yet Hope his sorrows will erase No ief so deep, no care so great,
 But resignation, sweet, will grace. " Ere yet thy life sh all cease from strife, Learn we'll this patient lesson, That the soul of him can never rise,
 Who seeks through death his cares tc
 lessen.
 Through all thy days seek hallowed ways Nor haste to enter gates ajar, Life's eve will come-its setting sun
 To rise again beyond that star" She ceased to speak as morn's faint streak Dispelled the Pleiades seven, Then stole away like sunsets ray,
 To seek hsr home in heaven. This lesson fraught with hope she taught, Its home in my heart shatl be, No grief or gloom, n or wave of sadness Shall roll across Iif.'s slumbering sea.
