The Dead Babe.

Last night, as my dear babe lay dead,
In agony 1 knelt and said
80 God, what have done,
Or in what wise offended Thee,
That Thou shouldst take away from me
My little SOM"
Upon the thousand useless lives,
Upon the guilt that Wanting thrives,
Thy wrath We're better spent;
Why shouldst Thou take nv little SON
Why shouldst Thou vent Thy wrath upon
This innocent"
Last night, as my dear babe lay dead,
Before mine eyes the vision spread
OF things that might have been:
Llcentous riot, cruel strife,
Forgotten prayers, a wasted life,
Dark red with sim
Then, with sweet music in the air,
l saw another vision there:
shepherd, in whose keen
A little amb-my little child
Of worldly wisdom undetled
Lay fast asleep
Last night, as my dear babe lay dead,
In those two messages | read
wisdom manifest:
And though my arms be Chidless now,
L am content-to Him | bow
Who knoweth hest.

Lilac Blossoms.
BY REBECCA PALFREY UTTER.

BY REBECCA PALFREY UTTER.
well beloved of young and Old,
Dear, generous common flower
There is a magic in your breath
OF strange and secret power.
A sweetness that no bee can find.
A fragrance ana lustre,
mat never We're on sea or land,
Hide IN each purple cluster.
For, while before your flowers l stand,
Their scented breath inhale,
The present hour with all it holds
Falls from me like a veil.
In answer to your silent CALL
From long ago uprising,
A vision comes before nv ewes,
Sweet, sudden and surprising.
No more the silvery, snow-clad hills
Rise up to meet the sky;
No more the valley green and broad
Spreads out before my eye.
Gone are the scenes of now and here,
Gone these new friendly faces;
And once again my feet are set
In old familiar places.
The wheel of time turns swiftly back:
A child | seem to be,
In THE pleasant streets of dear old town
That is stated by the sea-
Above my head in Gothic arch
he leafy elms are meeting
And robins from their swinging houghs
send down merry greeting.
Upon the doorsteps of house,
ltomely, and brown, and old,
Lie shadows of the lilac leaves,
Mosaic let in gold.
Ara there a group of children sit,
- busy at their playing
Bareheaded, with the ureeze of June
Around their foreheads straying.
Thy pick the heart-shaped lilac leaves,
Their aproned laps they fill:
They shape them into dainty hats
With childish, untaught skill.
Their ribbons are the striped grass
Their pins are thorns of roses:
A Tiny lilac flower rosette
On each small crown reposes
Then. taking up her dear doll child
With tender, loving care.
Each little mother ties hat
Upon its painted hair
And walks with stately step and slow,
a mimic grown up lady,
To where feast of rose-leaf cakes
Waits meath the lilacs shady.
o long ago and far away
That once was now and here
The magic of the lilac bloom
Has made it seem so near
Dear, friendly flower, l give you thanks
For this brief vision pleasant
Now turn again, wheel of time,
And bring me back the present.
