f x Let me move slowly through the street,
- Filled wiih an ever-shifting train,
Amid the sound of steps ihot bea t
' The niurlnuring walks like outumn rain.
Ilow fnsLolie lining figures come
The thild the fierce, the tony fate

They pass-iro toil, to strive, to rest ;
To halls in which the feast is spread ;
To chambers where the funeral guest
- In silence sits beside the dead.
And some to hnppy homes repair,
Where children, pressing cheek to dire k.
With mute caresses shall declare
, The tenderness they cannot speak.

Its flower ilj light, is seen no more,

And yet, my dear young lady, what can you

" And, my dear Mary? there's mine, with all
my heart in it. Now, when do you desire it to

"Now, this minute; give me your arm, and

The dance till daylight gleams again ?
Who sorrow o'er the untimely dead I
Who writhe in throes of mortal pain ?
Borne, famine struck, shall think how long
The cold, dark hours, how slow the light !
And some, who flaunt among the throng,
Shall hide in dens of shame to-night.

They pas, and heed each other not ;
There i;wh 'heeds, who holds them all

OUR LITTLE HOY.
When the evening shadows gather
Round about our quiet hearth,
Comes our eldest liorn onto o?,
llt-nding humbly to tin.- earth.
L And with; hands enclasped tightly,
And with meek eyes raised above,
-'To the source of liht and love.

Ulead my little sinter dear ;
While I gently take my slumbers,
lie thy guardian angels near.
; Should no morning's dawn-e'er greet me,
UenmiHg brightly from the skies,
Thine the eye of love to meet me
In the paths of Paradise."
Now a glnd " (!ood night " he gives us,
j And he seals it with a kiss ;
Naught of earthly sorrow grieves us
In an hour so full of Miss.
Now our arms about him wr-atliing,
One fond kiss before he sleep;
Soon we hear his gentle brenthing
In a slumber calm and deep.

so it happened, one was the owner of a
