A bridal party gay, WIth jest and song
Wiled the long hours away, while down

Sparkled with starlight, while the Orel•

Wearied with travel, some have snnk 10

But ane Pae asked the sweet young bride,

And they will join the song, "Sweet

At first her voice in trembling eadenoo

song
Carried the singer from the present

And she, in fanny, saw the loved home
throng.
The song rang out in triumph, as the

Itonsed from their slumber swell the
sweet home -song ;
While toward its fate, Al ! little could

The great train rushed along.
An aged man, whose feet have neared the
brink,
And whose strong faith his Saviour's
fats can see,
Leans forward on his staff and asps his
song—
His trustful prayer ---.Nearer, my God,
to Thee."

O'er crags that soon mast dash to death

And sweeter rings out on the listening

"There let the way appear,
Steps up to heaven."
They've swept the curve, and now upon

The ruined bridge, the falling beams

No longer heeding of its chief's eon.

Would thy have said, "Thy will be

From lips a moment since flushed fair

The engine scalds and grinds, as round

Are heaped the cars, broken and splinter.

Almost in whimpers, frons those childish

Coupes still her prayer, "Nearer, my God,

Cleaving the sky,

Upward I fly—
Stell all my song shall be,
Nearer to Thee."
