SISTER AND I.
We were hunting for wintergreen berries,
One May-day long gone by,
Out on the rocky cliff's edge,
Little sister and I.
Sister had hair like the sunbeams,
Black as a crow's wing mine;
Sister had blue, dove's eyes;
Wicked, black eyes are mine.
Why, see how my eyes are faded
And my hair, it is white as snow !
And, thin, too! don't you see it is?
I tear it sometimes; so !
There, don't hold my hands, Maggie,
1 don't feel like tearing it now.
Hut, where was I in my story?
Oh, 1 was telling you how
We were looking for wintergreen berries;
'Twas one bright morning in May,
And the moss grown rocks were slippery
With the rains of yesterday.
But I w as cross that morning,
Though the sun shone ever so bright
And when Sister found the most berries,
I was angry enough to fight !
And when she laughed at my pouting
We were little things, you know
1 clinched my little fist up tight,
And struck her ihe biggest blow.
I struck her I tell you 1 struck her,
And she fell right over below
There, there, Maggie, I won't rave now;
You needn't hold me so
She went right over, I tell you,
Down, down, to the depths below!
' I is deep and dark and horrid
There, where the waters flow!
She fell right over, moaning,
"Bessie, oh, Bessie !" so sad,
That w hen 1 looked dow n, affrighted,
It drove me mad mad!
Only golden hair streaming
Out on the rippling wave,
Only her little hand reaching
Up, for some one to save;
And she sank down in the darkness,
I never saw her again,
And this world is a chaos of blackness
And darkness and grief since then.
No more playing together
Down on the pebbly strand;
Nor building our doll's stone ensiles,
Willi halls and parlors Brand,
No more fishing with bent pins
In the little brook's clear waves;
No more holding funerals
O'er dead canaries graves;
No more walking together
To the log school-house each morn;
No more vexing the master
With putting his rules to scorn;
No more feeding of white lambs
With milk from the foaming pail;
No more playing "see-saw"
Over the fence of rail;
No more telling of stories
After we've gone to bed;
Nor talking of ghosts and goblins
Till we fairly shiver with dread;
No more whispering fearfully
And hugging each other tight
When the shutters shake and the dogs howl !
In the middle of the night;
No more saying "Our Father,"
Kneeling by mother's knee
l;or, Maggie, I struck Sister!
And mother is dead, you see.
Maggie, Sister's an angel,
Isn't she? Isn't it true?
1-or angels have golden tresses
And eyes like Sister's blue?
Now, my hair isn't golden.
My eyes aren't blue, you see;
Now, tell me, Maggie, if I were to die
Could they make an angel of me?
You say, "Oh, yes, you think so."
Well, then, when I come to die
We'll play up there in God's garden,
We'll play there, Sister and 1.
Now, Maggie, you needn't eye me
Because I am talking so queer;
Because I am talking so strangely
You needn't have ihe least tear.
Somehow I am feelinr; to night, Maggie,
As 1 never felt beLre
I am sure, I am sure of it, Maggie,
I never shall rave any more.
Maggie, you know how these long years
1 have heard her calling, so sad,
"Bessie, oh, Bessie!" so mournful
It always drives me mad!
How the winter wind shrieks down the chimney,
"Bessie, oh, Bessie, oh, oh!"
How the south wind wails at the casement,
"Bessie, oh, Bessie!" so low.
But most of all when ihe May days
Come back, with the (lowers and the sun,
How the night.bird, singing all lonely,
"Bessie, oh, Bessie I" doth moan;
You know how it sets me raving,
For she moaned, "Oh, Bessie! just so,
That time I struck little Sister,
On ihe May-day long ago !
Now, Maggie, I've something to tell you
You know May day is here
Well, this very morning, at sunrise,
The robbins chirped "Bessie" so clear;
All day long the birds, singing,
Verched on the garden wall!
Called: "Bessie, oh, Bessie!" so sweetly,
I couldn't feel sorry at all.
Now, Maggie, I've something to tell you !
Let me lean up to you so close
Do you see how the sunset has Hooded
The Heavens with yellow and rose?
Do you see o'er ihe gilded cloud mountains
Sister's golden hair streaming out?
Do you see her little hand beckoning?
Do you hear her liule voice calling out!
"Bessie, oh, Bessie!" so gladly;
"Bessie, oh, Bessie! Come, haste?"
Yes, Sister, I am coming; I am coming
To play in God's garden at last I
MOSES' WELL.
Is lielieved to lie (hat Mentioned
in the liible in Connection With
(Ireut l.nw (iiver.
Ill the ligypiijn desert about ten
miles east of Sue., is situated a i
picturesque pool known as "Moses'
well." This is believed lobe the
well mentioned in ihe Bible, where j
Moses, at the bidding of the Lord,
cast a branch into the bitter waters,
and they were sweetened. Set in 1
a deep grove of date-palms and
pomegranate trees, the well is a
dark, calm, mysterious looking
pool, faithfully reflecting the palms
which fringe its edges. The scene
at sunrise, when the first rays
strike the still waters, is exquisite
beyond description.
Attempts to identify various nat-
i ural beauties and locations or des
criptions as given in the Bible
have always been difficult, owing
the fact thai the records of ihe
rulers of ligypt at the time of the
captivity of the Jews were des
troyed by rulers that came into
power immediately afterward. The
motive was jealousy, and a deier
mination to wipe from the minds
of the people any regrets for rulers
gone.
