The Voices.
Down in the night l heard them:

Down in the night l heard them:
The voices, unknown. ungucssed,
That whisper and lisp and murmur,
And will not let me rest.
Voices that seem to question,
In unknown words, OF me,
OF fabulous ventures, and hopes and
dreams
OF this and the world to be.
Voices of mirth and music,
AS in sumptuous homes, and sounds
OF mourning, as of gathering friends
In country burial grounds.
Cadence of maiden voices,
Their lovers blcnt with these,
And of little children singing,
As under orchard trees.
And often. up from the chaos
Of my deepest dreams. ! hear
Sounds OF their phantom laughter.
Filling the atmosphere.
They call to me from the darkness,
They cry to me from the gloom,
Till start sometimes from my pillow
And peer through the haunted room,
When the face Of the moon at the window
Wears a pallor like my own
Apd seems to be listening with me
To the low, mysterious tone,
The low, mysterious clamor
or voices, that seem to be
Striving in vain to whisper
OF secret things to me-;
or something dread to be warned of:
OF a rapture yet withheld:
Or hints OF the marvellous beauty
OF songs unsylIabled.
But ever aud ever the meaning
Falters and fails and dies,
And only the silence quavcrs
With the sorrow of my signs.
And ! answer: Oh voices, We may not
Maker me TO understand.

The Baby Feet That Never Came.
In the au;unn's cherries night,
While the wild wind croons without
And the flicker of the fire
Leaps and dies as my desire
Breasts the barriers of its doubts,
can hear the patter, patter,
Ills a phantasy-what matter
OF the baby feet that never camel
Those rosy lips that lingcr i'll a kiss
The rounded checks that ncstles close to
mine
The eyes of blue that know no doubt,
That shuts us in-the world shut out
The soft white arms that wreathe and
uwine
And under all the bitter rod
Shall hold me fast to faith in God
Are but the echo of the feet that never
came.

wife Of Capt VIM. B. Colston, died
at her residence in this city after an

an overwhelming blow to the family.
Mrs. Colston was a daughter of
DR.. Summers, who for many years
was successful physician in this
city, and the family was highly con-
nected. She was lovable woman, a
faithful wife and a fond parent. The
news reaches us as we are ready to
go to press and our obituary there

learned Of the funeral arrangements.
With the husband and children we
deeply sympathize. May they find
comfort in the fact that o stainless
life insures a happy hereafter.
