Slowly the heavy draperies moved as

but the moving Of the curtains and
the door, and yet my soul was filled
with a nameless horror that I dared
not dwell upon. Rousing myself

portieres rushed to my wife's bedside.
There she lay, her eyes closed and her
pale face family Illuminated by the
light that followed me through the
doorway. I seized her hand and
strove to awaken her, but she did not
move. In an agony OF terror I bent
my head and listened for the beating
of her heart. Then clasping the limp

bosom and called aloud her name:

rom Eau Claire, Wis, in which a IA
ther and son, the former a physician,
ire alleged to have hypnotized a young

THE SPIRITS AT RasT

There is = sacred spot Of earth,
Bright scene my heart holds eyer dear,
Where dreams Of hope as from my birth,
" In visions hover DER ME here.
Bright are the visions mem'ry brings,
Oyer the dreamy waste of life;
Brighter yet from hope, there springs
Joy beyond this world OF strife.
Where is that scene to me so dear?
Where is the love my soul doth
crave?
The voice that to my heart is near?
They linger at my mothers grave.
When twilight on the sacred hills,
In rays OF glory light the scene,
With incense 1t my mem'ry fills
OF happy days that long haye been.
When midnight's dark and stormy blast,
With dismal shrieks upon the air,
Comes Ger the joys forever past,
My mind awaken's with despair.
Thou art from earth forever gone,
Thy spirits fled from worldly cares,
My mourning heart is left alone
To- mingle grief with my burning tears.
Now in that bright celestial land,
Thy spirits evermore at rest.
Amid the shining angel band,
In that fair region OF the blest.
