A DECISION.

If could say, sweetheart the day,
Is nothing If thou art not here
If could neither sing nor pray,
But that thine image paved the way,
O! then my answer would be plain,
We'd meet, and never part again.
But since the golden sun has power,
Without thee, still to light the hour
Since other voices echoes find
In my responsive heart and mind,
Since after all is said and done,
The world Of new holds more than one
Still is my answer very plain,
Well meet, but often part again.

IN MEMORIA IL.

To Courtney 7. Bayley, died May 10, "a.
This world seemed once pleasant land,
Abiding place of light and song;
The one we loved was brave and strong,
He held our future in his hand.
Now must we feel, that low he lies
Beyond our voices that implOre?
Shall we behold, ah! never more,
The glory of his steadfast eyes?
The fellow-soulS that touched his life,
Found added reason to rejoice
The music of his genial voice,
Cheered others on amid the strife.
We must curtaiI to lesser scope
The well considered thought and plan,
For by the death of such man
Existence loses half its hope.
The human ties thus torn apart
Must each their separate anguish plead,
For when, alas! can cease TO bleed
The deeply yearning mother heart?
What comfort can there be-" he said,
Kneeling in sadness on the sod,
1--WE cannot learn to kiss the rod,
When we must live, while he is dead
But comfort came at last, we knew,
God would not leave us quite bereft,
For in the memories that were left,
We only found the good aud true.
We think of him in youthful prime
IdeaIized-a sacred name,
Son, brother, lover, still the same
Above the shifting marnS of time.
And so we lift the cross of fate,
Grief'S wild rebeliOuS crisis past,
Content to meet him, at the last,
And here on earth-tO watch and wait
FROM A FRIEND.
