The Esrcts Plume.

! sat in the house of our Father
When His people were gathered all,
And looked on fair young mother
With her children sweet and snail.
He- eyes were 50 full of her loving,
,Jn those infant faces bent,
That knew her hea't to the utmost
Was brimmed with deep content.
Nv heart was rejoicing with her.
That hers were litcs dearest ties:
That loves soitest and sweetest music
From her lips might fifty rise.
One small head lay on her shoulder;
An arm was round her thrown;
In that touch OF tender carcss;ng
What world Of love was shown,
The voice OF the preacher rose softened
As he uttered the sweet words low
That the Saviour spalle OF the children
In Galilee. long ago.
l lifted my eyes in eladness.-
But ali : through the vaulted room
A mist blottcd out the glory;
The lighS shut down in gloom.
SAW. in its fragile beauty.
Ger that fair young mother spread,
The delicate spray of feathers
Torn from the Egrct's head.
And my heart was away at the seaside.
Where the hcartiess hunters 90,
When The mother-bird's crown of beauty
Becomes crown of woe.
For through the whole year only
When her mother.lovc IS her doom.
Does the Egret bear for her nestlings
Her fatal. fairy plume.
The ruthless hunters covet
The lovely, waving crest,
And they strike at the heart of the mother,
Through her children in the nest.
For her mother-loyo impels her
To defend with her life her ycung;
The lovely crest is torn from her head,
Aud her body 10 earth is flung.
Where the brutal robbers have thrown her,
She hears in her wild despair,
Her neStings vainly calling
For their mothers food and care.
They axe slowly. slowly starving
And their dcath.moan's bitter pain
Is borne to the savage hunters.
Who smile as they count their gain.
Before me the mists grew darker:
a shuddering shook the air;
The mournful wall Of the music
Was the murdered Egret's prayer.
How could hear the Christ-voicc-
Little children, come unto me
When those sobbing walls of anguish
Came up from the lands by the sea?
Think of your own little children
In starcation's fearful doom.
Oh. women. oh, mothers and never
Wear tac murdered Egrets plume,
