The nursery shows thy pictured wall


Thy bat, thy bow,
Thy hat and horse, thy cluD ana pah'


But where art thou
A corner holds thy empty char
Thy play things idly scattered there
But speak 10 US OF our despair.
Even TO the last thy every word,


Too glad, to grieye,
Was sweet as sweetest song oil bird


On summers eve;
In outward beauty undecaved,
Death o'er thy beauty cast no shade,
And like rainbow thou didst fade.
We mourn for thee when blind blank night


The chamber fills,
We pine for thee, when morn's first light


Reddens the hills
The sun, the moon, the stars, the sea,
ALL to the wall flower and wild pea,
Are changed-we see the world through lhee.
And though, perchance, smile may gleam


OF casual mirth,
1t doth not own, Whate'er may seem,


An inward birth;
We miss thy small step on the stair;
We miss thee at our evening prayer;
All day we miss thee, everywhere.
Farewell, then-for awhile, farewell


Pride Of my heart;
1t cannot be that long we dwell,


Thus torn apart;
Times shadows like the shuttles flee;
And, dark howe'er nights life may be,
Beyond the grave, iii meet with thee!

Moral ToNE OF THE SECULAR PREss.-Wt
are happy TO believe that there is just groune
for the following statement from the Bostor
Traveller:


SIT is obvious that there is growing inte
rest in intelligence Of moral and religious
character. This is evinced by the increased at
tention which is paid by the conductors of th
newspaper press almost universally to TIT
communication of such intelligence. Reli
gious news is now as promptly circulated BY
the secular press as other news; and to con
siderable extent, we are happy to believe, it II
sought for. There has been great change IL
the popular taste in regard to such things"
