" Meet mo There."
The Isat raya of the selling sun,
Were lingering in Ihe West,
I stood by one wlione race was run,
And soon ahe aaiik to reft.
But, ere Ihe spirit took its flight,
Eroin this dark world of care,
To realms of everlasting light,
talis whispered, " Muel nie there I"
' I'd loved l.er ;; anjni t.,veJ tier-True,
And sad at heart was I,
Kor all were weeping when tll'y kneav
That she, yes, site, must die I
All listened fur her parting words
rWie was so good and fair
But all Ihe accents that they heard
Mere, Muet, oil, meet me there !"
She tied, as gently aa the dew
Kails en Ilia opening flower,
And lied, as she bad lived, ss true
As ever graced sarin's bower;
I wiu-d tlie iieatli.ii.iinp oil' her brow,
AisJ parted back her Hair.
Ami alien I kisied her cold, cold cheek,
Sin murmured, " Metl me there!"
We bid her in the silent grave,
At'i sadly left her tin re.
To iieep tin long, lung sh ep of ocsth,
trJ& A ttiolljih so good and lair;
And still I travel on and seek
A p'ace w'ure free from cirr, "

the oldest (the boy) was not more thau tco
years of age, while the youngest was an
infant of a few month', It was a cold,

of misery with a sot. lirnkcti-hearied, cast
out from the society of her former fiiends,
frosncd upon by the " good society,"
humanely spoken of as tho tuiserahlo wife

the hovels threshold. The very respira

when a slight aliivcriuir of the limbs of
the iufaut and a shriek from the half-conscious
mother, told all that vital spark had
fled.
Tor the first time tho father moved.
Slowly advancing to where his wife was
rented, with quivering lips, he whispered,
" Id Willie dead!"
" Yes, James, the poor babe is dead !"
was the chokinc reply of the mother, who
still sat as r.t nrt gazing upon the face of

Without uttering another word, the
long-lrutalited father left the house, mut
tering as he left, "My God, bo long!"

came in, who had heard, but a few minutes
before, of the dangerous illness of the
child. She Lad brought with her some me

there remained for her but to comfort the
living. This she did, while we followed
