The grief th.marks our 4wning youth,
To memory ever clinge ;
And o'er the path of future nears
A lengthened shaddow fting.s,
011! oft my mind reeals the hoar,
When to my father's home
Denth came, on uninvited guezt;
From hie dwelling in the toMh:,
I had not seen his face hetbre---]
shuddered at the.sight:
Anii I shudder yet to thiuk upozi
The anguish of that night. I
A youthful brow s 'and rnddy cheek
Became' all cola and Wan -
An eye grew dim in which the light ,
Of raclinnt'fincy shone ;
Cold was the cheek, and clear;
The ey'e way fixed and dim ;
And one there mourned A brother dettd,
Who no - old love died for him!
I know not if *twas summer then,'
I know not if 'twos Spriug ;
But if the birds sang on the trees
1 did not hear them sing;
If ilowers came forth ti deck the earth,
Ttreir bloom 1 did not: see ;
I looked upon one Ivli.Mfred flower,
And none eLe bloomed for tut.l
A sad and ,silent time iti was
Within that house nfm - oe:
All eyes were din and ci,vereaot,
Aud -every voice vas tow ;
And from ettrlt cid,ek ati intervals
The blood appeared tO t4tari,
As if recalled instnidenhaste
To aid the ~inking !
Softlti• we trod, as if Afntid.
To tnitr the sleeper's sleep,
Anil !tale last looks of sad face
For ineruory to keep.
With him the agony Tag o"cr,
, Anti now the pain we. 4 ours ;
As thoughts of his street - childhood rose
Like odor front dead llou'ers
Aud %viten 'tt htst he wil4 borne afar
!foot the - world's wettry strife,
How ott in thought did We again
Live o'er hie little life.
Ills el-cry look, his every

Came back to us like things whose worth
is only prized when gone!
That grief has passed with years away,
And joy has been my loi ;
But the one is long remembered,
And the other soon tbrgot !
TIN gayest Lours trip lightly by,
Aud leave the faintest trace ;
But the deep, deep track tht4 sorrow wears
No time can e'er efraLte.

Boys have their soft and gentle words
too. You would suppose by 'the Morninsi
racket that nothing could be more foreign'
to their nature than romance and vague
sadness, such as . ideality produces in
adults. But boys .have .hours of great
sinking and sadness, When 'kindness and
sadness are peculiarly needful to them.
It is worthy of notice, how soon a little'
kindness, a little consideration for their
boy nature, wins their confidence and ea ,
resses. Every boy wants some - one older
than himself to whom he may go in moods
of confidence:and yearning. The, neglect
of the child's wants by grown people, and
the treating of children as little rattling,
nosy imps, not yet subject to, heart throes,
because they are SO frolicsome in general,
is a fertile source of suffering. One of
