The following lines, bearing on the
death of Mise ''Maggie Clegg, have
been banded us for publication by an
old friend of the deceased :
THE LOVED ONF. GONE. '
A light is from our household gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A 1 l'oc is vacant on our hearth
Which never eau be filled ;
A gentle heart, that throbbed but now
With tenderness and love,
Hes hushed its weary throbbiugs here,
'1'o throb in bliss above.
Yes, to the home where angels aro,
Her trusting soul has fled,
We bend above her watery tomb
With tears, and call her dead ;
We call ber dead, but all I we know
She dwells where living waters flow.
We mise thee frons our home, dear one,
We miss thee from our place --
Oh 1 life will be so dark without
The sunshine of thy face I
We wait for theoitt eve's sweet hour,
When stars begin to burn,
We linger in our oottage porch
To look for thy return ;
But vainly for thy coming step
We list through all the hours—
We only hear the wind's law voice
That mariners through the flowers,
And the dale river's solemn hymn
Sweeping among the woodlands dim.
The Urdti wo loved are singing yet
Above inc cottage door,
\Ve sigh to bear them singing now,
Sinop heard by thee no more ;
The sunshine and the trembling leaves,
The blue, o'er arching sky,
The music of the wandering winds
lhnt float in whiepere by --
;Ill speaking in tender tones to me
Of all lsfe's parted hours and thee.
I do net sea thee now•desr ono,
1 do not sae the ajow,
But tern when the twilight breeze
Steals o'er my lifted brow,
I hear thy voids upon my ear
In murmers low and soft ;
1 hear thy. words of tenderness
That I have heard so soft ;
And on my wounded spirit falls.
A blessing from above,
That whispers—though thy life is o'er,
Rsronu, C°NeBsVATIPE.
