MEMORIAL LINES.

a-N silver light the moonbeams CLEAN
Athwart the gently rippled stream
That glides along as in 4 dream
sAbove the world the stars shine bright:
Upon the sable wing of night
Their shimmring rays fall pure and white
And yonder, where the hilItops rise,
Beneath the quiet, peaceful skies,
The City of the Silent lies.
There, buried deep and hid for aye,
My hearts treasure was laid away
Within new-made grave to-day.
The wind blew by with chilly gust
81 Her soul is with her God, we trust;
But earth to earth and dust to dust"
Upon the mound the raindrops fell.
heard one to his neighbor tell,
F." A sign is this with her all's we'll"
The rain was falling in the morn,
When forth her cOffn'd form was borne,
But now the pail of clouds is torn,
And once again the sky is clear
Bright with each starry. cireling sphere.
Nay, aught is changed not there nor here.
IT'S only round my soul alone
The gloom of stariess nights has grown,
IT'S but my world that's overthrown.
Ye are the same, though all hope dies
Oh. we relentless. smiling skies
So my rebellious spirit cries.
Our mortal doubts, our bitter fears,
Our sighs our grOans, our heart-wrung tears,
Leave ye unmoyed throughout the years,
Oh, lifel Oh, DEATH we cannot see
Which OF we twain in truth may be
The greatest, weirdest mystery.
And thou, my own, whom had thought
To me could alter thus through naught
So strange change this death hath wrought,
hat ,,I,I Had NJ
With all my SOUPS intensity,
Thy dear lips would not answer me,
And this is hardest, oh, my own,
That thou hast something different grown
From the sweet friend once had known.
Harkl now the distant village bell
The hour of ey'ning prayer doth tell
Clear on the air its chimes outSwell!
Nay, hush these idle words are vain,
The rawlings OF half-crazed brain.
know my loss has been thy gain:
Let then my selfish sorrow ceasel
From pain hast thou gain'd blest release.
Shall my grief mar thy perfect peacer
No. let thy flight unshadowed be,
Undarkened thy eternity
BY mists of earthly misery,
Nor of the woe thou didst forsake
Let e'er the voice of discord wake
Thy heavens harmony to break
And yet feel there is no change,
Where'er thy spirit pure may range.
That can two loving hearts estrange,
" The earth to earth, and dust to dustr'
But God is merclful ana just;
In him place my falkland trust
When death embars Ife's close-shut door,
And the freed soul shall outward soar
Beyond the stars. Wen meet once more.

MAY HOURS,

Sweet hours OF unallOyed delight.
Enchanting month OF smiling flowers,
All hail with thy pure morning light,
Thy evening rays, thy balmy showers;
Yes, nature loves thy presence well,
She yields her gladly TO thy spell.
Bright birds their dreamy carols sing,
In shaded grove and garden bower,
To music that the zephyrs bring.
To ope the petals of each flower;
oh, let your music's cheering swell.
Gods birds, bless every vale and dell.
Oh. glad May hours, you bring the rose,
Whom nature hid with magic art;
Thy potent power viii bid unclose
Her languid lids. to take her part
In natures jubilant array,
These laughing hours of happy May.
Dispel, bright May hours, ali gloom,
And to oblivion down all care:
Let happiness with beauty bloom,
And all mankind 18th nature share
The transformation from the night,
OF winters darkness to springs light
The sunshine of the flowery May,
The peaceful language of her flowers,
Wen list on duty's busy way
To ease the tedium OF the hours;
oh, finger. for we love thy lay.
Thy mystic song. fair month OF May.

A LOVERS PRAYER,

Written for THE SUNDAY CALL.
vTH Wo cherry lips, it's bliss divine;
Eyes of blue, tender and true,
Sparkling like morn's early dew;
Can claim thee, art thou mine
Fair model of perfection's art;
Adorned with beauty rare, such
Fit for any masters brush;
Wilt thou heal this broken hearth
Solitude robed, I've waited long,
Patiently watched the coming hour
When thou sweetest in the bower.
wouIdst answer my loye-sick song.
