Oft in the Silly Night.
OFT in the Silly night,
Ere slumber's chain has bound me,
Fond memory brings the light
OF other days around me;
The smiles, the tears,
OF boyhood's years,
The words of love then spoken;
The eyes that shone
Now dimmed and gone,
The cheerful hearts now broken.
Thus in the Silly night,
Ere slumber's chains have bound n e.
Sad memory brings the light
OF other days around me.
When ! remember all
The friends so lin 'ed together
I've seen around me- fall.
Like leaves in wlntry weather,
feel like one
Who treads alone
Some banquet hall deserted,
Whose lights are fled,
Whose garlands dead,
And all but he departed.
Thus in the Silly night,
Ere sIumber's chain has bound me,
Sad memory brings the light
Of other days around me.

THE CONTRAST.

How hushed it Isl How very still,
That even the pulses in my ears
With loud and strong determined will
Beat time unto my coward fears.
The long dull day is nearly gone,
The air is chill with heavy rain,
And gloomy clouds, as night comes on
Foregather. Nature wears stain.
All me! 1t was the same last night,
And yet no such the gloomy view
| took of things, for then my sight
Saw different, if it saw not true.
Then sank the quiet on my soul,
Sweetly a. slumber after pain,
Fair were the clou. s, [ could extol
The freshness of the falling rain.
And would you know the difference
Between this eve and yesterday,
That so hath changed my every sense
And hued all things in sober gray?
1t is-that he's away tonight,
Friend, lover, husband, all in one,
Who makes this home place of light
All me! tbs dark without the sun.
