(This sail, sweet poon is old, but it will I
boar many readings.
'T was utidnigitt, and he Fat alone,
'he husband of the de:..t
That day th< daik dust had been thrown
Upon her bill jed head.
iler orphau'd children round him slept,
But in their slcep would Inoanli ;
Then fell the first, tenra he had. wept
le relt h was dione.
Tho world was full of life and light,
But ah, no more for himi !
ils little world, oncwwarmn and bright
It now was cold anti dim.
Where was her sweet abit kindly fice ?
Whero was her cordial tone 1
lie gazed around his dwelling-place,
And felt he was alone.
The wifoly love -matermil care
The self denying zeel
The smile of hope that ehased despair,
And promised f'uturc weal,
The clean, bright hearn h-niec tablospreaid,
'I'ho charmn o'er all things thrown
The sweetness in whal o'er she said
All gone-lie was alene!
He looked into his cold wild heanH
All sat and unresigned ;
Ile asked how ho had done lib part
To one so true-so kinl ?
Each error past lie tried to track
In tori uro would atone
Would give his lit'e to bring her back
In vain-he was alone
lie slept at last, and then lie dream'd
(Percliaince her spirit woke,)
A soil light o'er his pillow gleamed,
A voico in music spoke
"Forgot -forgiveI All neglect
Thy love relited alone ;
The babes I leave, oh, love, protebt !
I still ant all Iv own."
MY WIFE'S HAND.
Every night, when the stars come out,
And the birds have gone to i'est,
A little hand, like a cooing tiove,
Nestles alfout iy breast ;
Smooths my forehead and pats tny checks
Passes its finger tips
Over my eyelid.i and through my hairi,
Lingering on iiiy lips ;
Clings to my neclk and clasps my arm,
TIil1, Iireil o' its caress,
Anl farlenl askep within ilny own),
That pure white hand I press.
Many a year is come atid gone;
The little handi is cold ; .
Childrens' children are on mny knce,
And I ait growing old.
Yet, eacI night, as the stars cotto out;
Ani I near the heavenly liand
I feel as I felt in my early days,
The touch of that gentle hand.
