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. —July Atlantic. GAIETIES.
