A SONG,

All the earth is wrapped in shadows,
And the dews have erenGked the meadows,
And the moon has Ia EN- her station,
And the midnight rules creation.
Where is my helo-ed staying:
In her chamber kneeiing praying.
Is she praying for her lover?
Then her heart is flowing over.
My beloved! is she keeping
Watch, or is she sweetly sleeping?
If she sleep not, if she pray not,
If TO listening ears she says nauEht-
Thought with thought in silence linking
Oh, know of whom she's thinking.
Think, oh, think of me, sweet angel,
Rose of life, and loves evangel.
All the thoughts that melt or move thee
Are like stars that shine above thee;
And while shining, to the center
OF thy spirits spirit enter,
And there light fame supernal-
Like eternal love, eternal
Hungarian of Petof.

there lived colored woman Mary

respectively eight years aid eight
months.
The mother was short distance

two children were lett in the house.
Some time during the day Mr..
McGill, discovered the house on
fire, and gave the alarm. Howev,
er the alarm came too late Tor when
the scene Of the cona7gration was
reached the flames hid spread so
rapidly that it was impossible to
rescue the children from the burn~

frantic with grief could see her
children burning but had no pow
