The clonpa are gathering here andthre,
The sunlight comes atl goes,
Ami, quick as thought, the atmoBphere
Seems bursting "with lt9 woen
Of flnry flashings In the shy.
Of thunder's crash and roar,
Till we but wonder, with a sigh,
When will the storm be o'er! - .

Ay, brighter than before;
And thought the niiaty af ter-raln,
Aa In the days of yore,
A rainbow's broad and brilliant arch
Over-hanga the eastern shore.
Made brighter by the constant march
Of shadows yet In store.
And later on, the sunset tints
Of pale-blue, amber, brown,
Sea-green and rose. Bind golden mints.
With gray and parpla ground,
Faint floating argosies of cloud
That rise from out the west,
Adorn the northa mystic shroud,
Then pass away, at. rest.
Some of the sadest tests ol life
Accost us unawares;
The Day-spring comes, with pleasure rife,
To Spend Its ve in tears.
Hope twines her amaranthine wreath
Around these hearts of ours,
But Pate, instead, to us beneath
The thorns, and not the flowers.
Only a few short years. It seems,
Since that "sweet long ago,"
When every day brought happy dreams,
Untouched by care or woe.
And tho' they're gone, forever gone.
There 'amuic in the dell3

In other homes, as well aa ours,.
Life's hurrying cares have come;

We'll bear the piercing thorn;
por should we pin3-oraelves away.
O'er broken links of time ,
The world will move on Just as g&y.
The sun as brightly shins.
This life, tho long. Is but a span,
A.nd, should the tear-drops itow,
fLet's give a smile, whon'or wo can,
To hide the tracks of woe .
And when the clouds begin to rift.
Let's pain acrost the sky
A '. bow of promise," that may lift
Soane weary, weeping eye.
For eadest days, some duties wait.
And, well it. may be thus;
We could not stand the storie of Fftte,
Did God not watch for na.
