Well,' yes,' there's story about them,
Almost too strange to be true;
'Tis a stranger, sweeter story,
.Than-was ever written in books:
And (iod made the ending perfect
There, now J see by your looks,-
I will have to tell the story : -;
Let me see; 'twas eight ears ago
One blustering night in winter
When the air was just thick With

They laid him out here in the ireight

And 1 stayed with him that night,
He'd one oftjie pleasant est faces,
hoeful and young and bright.
There was only a worn out letter;
I know it by heart it said :
"Dear John? baby: May grows finely,
I send you th's icurl from her head.
We will meef at Bra 'krnboro,'
The grandfathers sad and lone,

When we've a home of our own;

Beneath our own-willow tree."
That was all1 there was of it, lady,
And 'twas signed just " Alice JsiyhJ
So we made a grave in the morning
And 1 uried the man out there
Alone, unmourhed, in a stranger':

With only a stranger's prayer..

Out there, nigh o:i to a year,

And a baby with golden hair.
On her brea4 las,-the laughing baby,

Still warm, anil tle fair, young "mother
With a frozen Sjnile on her lips.
We laid the: ji out here, in the-freight-house,

st-iyed tiiat night with the dead;
I shall never forget t he letter
We found in her purse; it said:
Dear Alice; praise God I've got hero
Pll soon hve a home for you now,
But you must come with the baby,
As soon as you jean anyhow.
Comfort thegraijdfather, and 'tell him
That by and byj lie shall come

The tears .filled my eyes as I read it;
But I whispered "God isjust!"
For I kuw the true- heart yonder
.'. Tjiem'1only'a hmilful ofdiist
Had drawn this', sweet, little woman
Right here and God's merciful love,
Had taken her from tlje sorrow,
To the glad reunion above!
No, close by the. grave of the otlfer,
We laid her away to rest;
The golden haired, English mother

Five years roltod along, and lady,
My story may now seem to you,
lake a wonderful piece of fiction;
Rut I tell you it is true.
As true as that God is above us!
One summer day, hot and clear,
As the train rolled into the station
And stopped to change engines licit",
Among a company of Mormons
Came a treriiblin', white haired man,
Heask'dme with voice very eager,
"Will vou tell me, sir, if you ran,
Of a place called Bracken noro .
And bow tar have l got to go
"It's the next .station north;"
swereil, :
"Only thirteen miles below." ,
His face, lit tip for 'a -moment,
With a look of iov complete;
Then he threw! up his hands ioward j
heaven, ! ; i
And dropped down,dead at my feet ! ;
