A POEM BY DANIEL Whistler.

ON THE DEATH OF HIS LITTLE SON CHARLES, IN 1875.
The stan on which my years should lean
ID broken ere those yer rs came o er me;
Ny funeral rites thou shOulo'st have seen;
But thou art in the tomb before me.
Thou rear'st to me no filial stone,
No parent grave with tears beh0ldest;
Thou art my ancestor, my son,
And stand'st in heavens account the Oldest.
On earth my lot was soonest cast,
Thy generation after mine;
Thou bast thy predecessor passed,
Earlier eternity Is thine.

The road to d eaven, and shown clear;
But thou untaught tpring's st in the skies;
And lesv st thy teacher lingering here.

And hasten to partake thy bliss;
And oh, to thy world welcome me,

BY THE RIVER.

Only the low wind wailing
Among the leafless trees;
Only the sunset paling:
only the gray clouGs .ailing
Before the weetern breeze.
The girl beside the river,
With strained e n and tired eye,
Nor saw the crimson culver.
Nor heard the willows shiver.
As the low wind swept by.
For sight and sense were roaming
Across the barren moor;
Oh, was he never coming,
Through the dun autumn cleaning,
As In the days OF yore?
Oh. bright blue eyes that glittened.
Oh. happy blush that rose.
Oh, foolish heart that Stoned,
10 the faithless lips that christened
His love the wife he chose"
How oft he turned in leaving
For yet another kiss
How he koothed the Rirlish grieving,
And swore that no deceivlng
Should ever cloud their bliss!
He LEFT when Summer sunlight
Was full upon the stream.
He made his truth her one light,
And in the Autumn dim light,
She faced her broken dream.
She knew her idol shaken,
She knew her trust wss gone,
What hope dead faith can waken?
Betrayed, forgot, forssken,
The woman stO0d-alOne.
Hushed was the bitter weeping,
As Ger her closed the night;
When dawn on dark IVES CT. eping,
The morning breeze was sweeping,
Where broad, and pure, and white.
The lilies swsyed to cover
The fair pae face beneath;
Where, pain and passion over.
Freed from u faiIhless lover,
eorrow lay hushed In death.

THE GIFT OF TEARS.

The legend says. In Paradise
God gave the world to man. All me!
The woman life up her eyes:
Woman, ha but t. ars for thee"
But tear =? and she began TO shed,
Therat, the tears that comtOrted.
NO other beautiful woman breathed.
No rival among men b, d he;
The seraphs sword OF fire WAS sheathed,
The GOLDEN fruIt Lung ON the tree.
Her 10 d was lord OF all the earth,
Wherein NO child had walled its birth.)
"Tesrs to bride?' "Yea, therefore tears"
"ln Eden?' "Yea. tears therefore"
Al bride in Eden, there were fears.
In that first blush your young cheeks wore,
Lett that first kiss had been too sweet,
Lest Eden withere from your feet
Mother Of women Did you see
How brief your beauty, and how brief,
Therefore, the love of it must be
In that first garden that first grief?
Did those first drops of sorrow fall
10 move Gods pity tor us all?
o sobbing mourner by the dead,
One watcher al the grave graks grown;
Disciples for some darkling head,
Cold pillow ed on the prison stone,
Or wet with drowning seas, He knew
Who gave the gilt OF tears to you!

- A 70 10 Cat.ic

A member of the British Geological
Society tells this story, 80 it must be
true: II once had . cat who always sat
up to the dinnar-table with me, and had
his napkin round his neck, and his plate
and some fish. He used his paw, of
course; but he was very particular and
behaved with extraordinary decorum.
When he had finished his fish 1 some
times gave him . piece of mine. One
day he was not to be found when the
dinner-bell rang, 80 We began without
him. Just O. the plates were put round
for the entree, puss came rushing up
stairs and sprang into his chair with
two mice in his mouth. Before he could
be stopped, he dropped . mouse on to
his own plate and then one on to mine.
He divided his dinner with me, q I di-
vided mine with him."
