WHAT. MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

So many things there might have been
Had our dear child not died;
We count them all and call them DER,
We weigh the less against the more;
The Joy she never knew or shared.
The bitter woes forever spared.
The danger turned aside
Heavens full Sc @urity, and then,
Perplexed, we sigh: All might have been.
We might have seen her sweet cheeks glow
With loves own happy bloom,
Her eyes with maiden gladness fun.
Finding the whole world beautiful:
We might have seen the ioyance fail.
The dear face sadden and grow pale.
The smiles fade into gloom.
Loves sun grow dim and sink again
Either of these 1t might have BEEN
We might have seen her with the crown
OF wifehood on her head.
A queen of homes fair sovereignties.
With little children at her knees;
Or broken-hearted and alone,
Bereft and widowed of her own,
Mourning beside her dead;
This thing or that, beyond our ken,
It might have been, 1t might have been
There is no need of question now.
No doubts, or risks, or fears;
Safe folded in the Eternal care,
Grown fairer each day and more fair,
With radiance In the clear young eyes.
Which, in cool depths of Paradise,
Look without stain of tears,
Reading the Lords intent. and then
Smiling to think what might have been.
We too will SMILE o dearest child;
Our dull souls may not know
The deep things hidden from mortal sense.
Which find thy heavenly confidence;
On this one sure thought can we rest,
That God has chosen for thee the best.
Or else 1t were not so.
He called thee back to Heaven again,
Because He knew what might have been.

chief part of the time. and on other
occasions was never long absent; but
though this Ito be frank was net just
to my fancy, 1 could not find fault,
for the merchant treated me with in
variable kindness.
One evening, soon af<er two bells
had been struck, / came on deck and
saw Dona Carmen standing by herself
near the after weather gang-port. My
heart gave a bound, for it was not

"You could not pass the time bet
ter, and with your leave I win keep you
company" I answered boldly, yet with
affected hghtness.
With which, only staying for her
consenting nod, fetched two bamboo
chairs, and seated her in one while
took the other.
''This is the recompense of these
hot days-the wonderful nights" she
said, with comfortable settling of,her
head against the back of her chair.
'What sky, Senior Ardick, and what a
seal"
I followed her glance up at the
heavens and out through the open
port.
"Glorious!" answered.

with a sigh. 1T is all so peaceful and
restful.'
