We are dead to the past, which was

which is to-day; we are unknown to the

fondly remember the past, suffer on in the

In the future. We are n green set

CONFRONTED.

One night, with Grief. closed my eyes.
And had no other thought. but he
Would waken with me presently.
But God is gracious; God is wise
Beyond our knowledge. In the dim
flushed hours betwiXt the dark and light,
There came n messenger from Him
That of my Grief bereft me quite.
j know not how to paint the sight
That blest my eyes. or make you sec
The vision that was sent to me.
For oh! IL was the child that came,
And called me softly by my name,
And clasped me by the little white
Warm hands that chung 10 mo OF old,
And nestled in my garments fold.
A dream you think? Well may be so;
But none the less Gods messenger;
For while lay-afraid TO stir,
Lest the sweet dream should from me GOO
The child. that only uttered here
Such inartculate trills aud COOS
As nesting birds and babies use,
Began to speak strange words and clear:
Strange words, but clear: which, shcrIk try
To put in speech Of mine again,
II would be effort spent in vain.
This was a language of the sky,
Which, just for once, | understood.
Because, my God, Thou vert good,
And suffered one sad heart 20 see
How narrow-souled and dull we are.
That make our selfish love bar
Betwixt these little ones and Thee.
Whereat-though il was but dream,
That vanished ere the east was red
The one sad heart was comforted;
Nor since, do and sorrow seem
So fifty mated as before.
For in my daily tasks once moro
find content. And little things
The wavering shadows on the wheat,
The scent Of flowers, the whir OF WINGS
Bring back a sonse Of something sweet.
As vague, as fair, as sweet as these,
The vision was that came 10 me,
Whose nameless charm this shadow Is,
or something exquisite to be.
And when in some unearthly sphere
OF perfect love and bliss complete.
The child and once more shall meet,
How like dream it will appear
Chat Grief and were comrades here!
