I’uss forth to its eternal rest.

She stoops. and upon her trembling heart llis drooping head is pillowed now,

Whilst. white and slender lingers part The damp hair on his pullid brow.

And there. upon his upturned face, \ With quivering lips the kiss was given,

Aiitl press as if ‘twould drnw him back, Back from the very gates of heaven.

'I‘here like a dying bird his frame Lay panting out its flutwriug life, And still his almost liteless arms Citing fondly to his pale young wife.

A holy smile came o'er his face, As moonlight gleaming o‘er the snow:

And lifeless he is lying new.

The setting sun with golden light Was flooding all the room and bed,

Enfolding with its pinions bright, The fainting wife, the marble ilend.

Thirteen years have passrd since John Morton left the old homestead; and con- ti‘nry to his luthor‘s prediction he had not come back.

In the meantime, things had not gone on smoothly about the harm. Farmer Morton had given up the whole charge of thallium to ticorge, who had married a “Khalil tilt?- "‘~L. l’Hi'i't‘fRd- ruin-r'm'wm‘m. mortgaged the farm To a smihl u‘ril‘oli’nt. and ever since the iiiarringe ol‘Gcorgo, in spite of all his exoriions. the mortgage had been g nIng yrouud, until now the place mus sol to meet the terms of

It was a bitter cold night in December, that they wuro seated around the kitchen lire. It was to be their lastuight at home. for the next day would be the sale, and they then would be houseless. Farmer Morton sat. with his head buried in his hands. At times he would raise it up and at some cherished article. as if to a. last lui‘owell, and then bowing it : u, would sob aloud. " Come. come, father." said George, “ don't be ne'dmvn-heurted. Cheer up. lam young yet; and if I live. and hard work will do it, you shall come back to the old place yet.“ “ [cannot hope for it.

We are said to live in n prosaic age, but as the same accusation is brought against itself by every generation of men, those who think for themselves may be pardon- ed il' the ' ilisbclicvc it. The elements of the poetic in thought and the heroic ln ac- tion lie everywhere around us; but. it re- qiii ‘es the trained eye and the sympathetic heart to discover them, except on those rare occasions when the actors move in the highest places of the world, and their deeds and their sorrows are equally ini- pevial. Could we but truly know the events that happen every day in our own country, our own town. otir own village-— nay. our own houses—we might discover love strongns death, hate fierce as hell, all-devouring ambition, unreasoniugjeal- ousy, wild despair, henvenl patience. sublime sell-sacrifice, and all t to great or lender passions that toss our poor human hearts about like waifs on a stormy sea. Every newspaper that we take up contains a. tragedy. it we did but know howtoread it—u tragedy spoiled, perhaps in the tell- ing, but a. t -dy still. We need not look back to in tent history :iiid niytholoy Ior heroes and heroines, for the gods and goddesses of crime :.nd suffering. There are Medeas and (llytoniuestrns in While- 0‘ ripe] and the Canongnto as wrll as in (irccce, :md tools as ,‘Il‘l'fli as Anthony in every city ol the world, who would peril fame, fortune, and lile for a liviu Cleo- hi i.

John had been saving his money for some time, to buy a line edition oi‘tlooper‘s works coiiiplt-tc. which an acquaintance had bought at auction in a neigliboriupr town; and not caring much for it, had of- l'cri-d it to him for half price.
