"Waiting Beyond"

o, some one Is waiting for me
In the beautiful realms above,
On the shores of Eden domain,
Where all is perfection and love;
Life's river will soon bear me there,
Uniting the earth broken bond,
o, what should invite me to stay
When some one is waiting beyond?
When earth has so lltus H. charm,
And heaven so much to hestow,
When some one is waiting there still,
o, why should / shuddor To go?
How often | long to be there,
To meet with that heart true and
fond;
For why should wish to remain
When some one is waiting beyond?
The beggar, the homeless, the poor,
That worship at Poverty's shrine.
Will some one be waiting for them?
VIII they have welcome like mine?
Yes, tatters and rags are unknown;
And unto each call will respond
Some other as soft and as sweet,
From some one that's waiting beyond
know not how soon Death may
come,
Perhaps a few dips of the oar
May carry me into that port;
| may not be far from the shore,
But though | am near or afar,
Still ever by faith can see
A loved one just over the tide
That's watching and waiting for me.
If heaven is bathed in flood
or splendor of grandeur, of gold;
II one never longs tor repose
And never grows feeble and old;
Then why should I tremble at Death?
0, why should | ever despond2
Why blanch at the thought of the
grave.
When so much awaits me beyond?

brought out, together with the silver
spoons. Cakes of every kind, honey.
marmalade, hot mullins, ripe fruit, and
all kinds of fancy bread helped to
make up the siX-oc clock tea, which, as
DIR. Brent had observed, was generally
attended by ladies alone Choice bits
