%trE FRIEND'S BURIAL.
BY 3. G. WWHITTIE1
*thoughts are, all in yonder town,
Where, wept by man} tears,
Tyy my mother's friend lays down
The burden of her years. -
True as in life, no poor disguise
Of death with her is seen,
Auden her simple casket lies
No wreath of bloom and .greet,.
0 not for her the florist's art,
The mocking weeds of woe,
BLit blessingsof the voiceless heart;°
The love that passeth show !
Yet all aboutthe softening air
Of new-born sweetness tells,.,_
And the ungathered May -flowers wear
The tints of ocean shells - -
The old, assuring miracle
Is_ fresk as heretofore ;
And earth takes up its parable . Of life from death once more:
sere orgaaswell and church -bell toll
Methinks bat discord were,
The prayerful silence of the soul
Is best befitting her.
No sound should break the quietude
Alike of earth and sky ;,
O wandering wind in Seabrook wood,
Breathe bat a half -heard sigh !
Sing softly, spring -bird, for her sake
And thou not distant sea,
Lapse lightly as if Jesus spake,
And thou went Galilee ! -
Fou all her quiet life flowed on
Asmeadow streamlets flow,
Where fresher green reveals alone
Thenoiseless ways they go.
From her loved place of prayer I see
The plain -robed mourners pass,.
With stow feet treading reverently
The graveyard's springing grass.
Make room, 0 mourning ones, for me,
Where, like the friends of Paul,
That you no more her face shall see -
You sorrow meat of all. •
Her path shall brighten more and more
Unto the perfect day ;
She cannot fail of peace whe bore
Such peace with her away.
O sweet, calm face that seemed to wear
The look of sins forgiven !
0 voice of prayer that seemed to bear
Oar own needs, up to heaven !
How reverent in our midst she stood,
Or knelt in grateful praise !
What grace. of Christian womanhood
.Was in her household ways !
For still her holy living meant
No duty left undone ;
The heavenly and the human blent
'their kindred loves in. one.
And if her life small leisure found
For feasting ear and eye,
And,pleasure, on her daily round,
-She passed unpausing by,.
Yet with her -went secret sense
Of all things sweet and fair,
And beauty's gracious providence
_Refreshed her unaware.
She kept her line of rectitude
With love's unconscious ease ;
Her kindly instincts understood.
All gentle courtesies.
Annborn charm of graciou• sness
Made sweet her smile and tone,
And glorified her farm -wife dress
With beauty not its own.
The dear Lord's best interpreters
Are humble human souls ;
The -Gospel of a life like hers
Is more that books or scrolls.
From scheme and creed the lihgt goes out,
The saintly fact survives ;
The blessed Master none can doubt
Revealed in holy lives.

—.An urchin of seven years went
into a barber's shop at Racine,
Wis., and metered the barber to
eut his hail: as short as the shears•

--An old, rough clergyman once
took tor his text that passage of the

"Well, my clear, what is it 7" `I
want to -know what your opinion
of me was when you first saw me."
—A cruel joke was recently
played upon an amateur florist of
San Francisco. His next door
neighbor buried a rat in a flower
pot, leaving the tail protruding -from
.the earth and trained to a stick, and
then pi esented it to him . as a -rare
specimen of cactus. The lover of
flowers carefully witched and water-
ed his new acquisition for several
clays, but at last'his wife pulled the
thing up by the roots; and he dis-
continued friendly relations with
the: joker.
