Touched by black clouds ragged rim
Sudden heard the Banshee's wall
Where AIalmor's war-tower rises
grim.
Quickly strobe across the slope
Passed the grove and the Fairy
Mound
GLOOMY the moat where blind owls
Scarcely breathing, glanced
around.
Mother of mercy! there she sat
\ woman clad i'll a snow-white
shroud
Streamed her hair to the damp moss
White the face on her bosom
bowed.
esprit of Woe" I eager cried
''Tell me none that love has gone"
Gold is the grave":-my accents
The Banshee lifted her face so
wan.
Pale and wan as the waning moon
Seen when the sun-spears herald
dawn
Ceased all sudden her dreary Groom
Full on my own her wild eyes shone.
Burned and scared my Utmost soul
when shall sorrow depart from
meg
Black-winged terror upon me stole
Blindly CROPPING, 1 turned to flee.
Back by the grove and haunted
mound
Ger the lone road I know not how
Hearkerad afar my baying hound
Lone the cottage-the door flung wide
Four lights burned-ch, sight of
dread!
Breathing a prayer. rushed inside.
"AIercy, God" twas my mother,
dead!
Dead and white as the fallen leaf
Kneeling, my sister prayed near by
Wild as I wrestled with my grief
Far and faint came the Banshee's
cry.
-Sliav-na-mon, in the Gael.

An O'd-Fashioned Woman.

No clever, brilliant thinker, she,
With college record ard degree;
She has not known the paths of fame.
The world has never heard her name;
She walks in old, long-trodden ways,
The valleys of the yesterdays.
Home is her, Kingdom, love her
DOVER
She seeks no other wand of power
TO make home sweet bring heaven
near,
To win smile and wipe tear,
And do her duty day by day
In her own quiet place and way.
Around her childish hearts are twined,
AS round some reverend saint ell
shrined,
And following hers the childish feet
Are led to ideals true and sweet
And find all purity and good
In her divinest motherlle oil.
She keeps her faith unslladOwed still
God rules the world III good and ill;
Men in her creed are brave and true,
And women pure as pearls of dew.
And life for her is high and grand,
BY work and glad endeavor spanned.
This sad old earth's brighter place,
All for the sunshine of her face:
Her very smile a blessing throws.
And hearts are happier where she
goes,
A gentle, clear-eyed messenger,
TO whisper love-thank God for her!

Amos Cummings Visitor.

a pathetic incident, not hitherto pub

days of the illness eff Amos Cummings.
the great newspaper correspondent and
member of Congress from the city Of
New York. was related to tlr2 writer Il
few days ago by an intimate friend
of Mr.. Cummings, says the B strn Re
public.
\ few days before Mr.. Cummings
death this man paid a visit to tie bed
side and found Mr. Cummings face all
HGlow with excitement. He could
hardly restrain himself until his friend
took Il scat before he drew himself up
ON his pillow and said in eager tones:
'Well. Charlie. who do you suppose
called in TO ",e me- tOtlhy:" Charlie
answered: well. Lon'i know {"
''Well. guess. Charlie. | want you u
guess who called in to see me today"
His eyes ut the same time were BEAM
ing with the delight which the news
he was going to impart gave them.
Charlie answered again. "Well l
lcnt know. Amos. might guess all
night. and THEN perhaps | would not
guess right"
Well" he said. cit was Cardinal
Gibhuns. | never spent happier mo-
mcnts in my life than the time when

see you; but 1 am not a Catholic
"'I know that replied the Cardinal,
but you are good man. You have
done a lot Of good work in the world
You have used THE brains and energy
which were given you by God for the
bettermnnt and uplifting of your fell
lOw-man.'
Thank you. for that I said. 4

from you. more than anything that has
ever been said to me- simply have

Nathan Hale.

Changed as a spy by Sir William
Howe Sept. %. 177G)
To drum beat and heart beat,
y soldier marches by:
There is color in his cheek,
There is courage in his eye,
Yet to drum beat and heart beat
In Il moment he must die.
by the starlight and moonlight,
He seeks the Briton's camp;
He hears the rustling flag
And the armed sentry's tramp;
And the starlight and the moonlight
His silent wanderngs lamp.
With slow tread and still tread,
He scans the tented line:
And he counts the battery guns,
BY the gaunt and sladowy pine;
And his slow tread and still tread
Gives no warming sign.
Tive dark wave. the plumed wave,
1t meets his eager glance;
And it sparllles 'ne;lth the stars,
Like the glimmer of lance
\ dark wave. Il plumel wave,
On an emerald cNpalse.
\ sharp clang. still clang,
And terrier in the sound!
For the sentry, a falcon eyed.
In the camp spy hath found;
With Il sharp clang. Il steel clang,
The patriot is bound.
With Il calm brow and steady brow,
He listens to his doom:
In his look there is no fear.
Nor Il shadow trace of gloom;
But With calm brow and steady brow
He robes him for the tomb.
In the long night, the sill night,
He kneels upon the sod;
And the brutal guar6s withhold
Fen the solemn word of God!
In the long night. the still night,
He walks where Christ hath troh.
Meath the blue morn, the sum,
morn,
He dies upon the tree;
And he mourns that he can lose
But one life for liberty;
And in the blue morn, the sum.
morn,
His spent wings are free.
But his last words. his messag
words,
They burn. lest friendly eye
Should read how proud and calm
A patriot could die. y
With his last words. his dying words
a soldiers battle cry.
From fame leaf and angel leaf,
From monument and urn.
The sad Of earth. the glad of heaven,
His tragic fate shall learn:
And on fame leaf and angel leaf
The name of HALE shall burn!
