Upon my mountain home,
The snowfiakes and the tall trees tossed
Their leafiess branc hes brown;

My faith is strong tonight:
Again his loving care beg.
And breathe grateful prayer.

HEART ECHOES.

In my heart there is chamber,
Secret chamber, hid from all.

Lies a skeleton In its pail.
On its threshold stranger footsteps
Never press but all alone
sit and brood on hopes long perished,
Hear despair's dull kDelling tone
Hope died.long ago, in autumn,
W hen the withered leaflets fall.
Round my pathway gray mists gather,
Shutting out peace. Joy and all.
Even those love the dearest
Never tread that charmed place.
Even those to me the nearest
Never see that cold still face.
There are SORROWS much too sacred
Ever in this world to name.
Who shall chide me If hide miner
Secret sorrow is no shame.
Linked to self-contempt forever,
Is there harder, crueler fate
I'd have hoped but cold Indifference,
Locked my Eden's golden gate.
Oh. the pain of lonely longing.

Ghosts OF thought and high ambition
From the past's dim, shadowy hall

And they jeer and mock my sadness
