ORGAN MUSIC.
Then swelled the organ: up through choir and nave,
The music trembled with - an inward thrill
Of bliss at its ownzrandeur ; wave on wave,
Its flood of mellow thunder rose until
The hushed air shivered with the throb it gave,
Then, poising for a moment, it stood still
And sank and rose again, to burst in spray,
That wandered into silence far away. - ,
. .
Like to a mighty heart the music seemed,
That yearns with melodies it cannot s'peak,
Until, in grand despair of what it dreamed,
In the agony oLeffort it doth break, j
Yet triumphs breaking; omit rushed and - streamed,
And wantoned baits might, as when a Joke,
Long pent among lite mountains, burstails walls,
And iu one crowding,gush leaps forth and,falls.
, •
Depper and deeper shudders shook the air,
As the huge NA kept.gathering, heavily,.
Like, thunder when it rouses in its lair,
And with its hoarse growl shakes the low-hung sky
It grew up likeitilthirkftedi e ‘
Filling
the'vasb cathedral;-suddenly,,
From the, detise miss a' bay's clear treble'lproke
Like .lightning,.and the full-toned choir awoke.

very much to go - too; but , she could not
carry baby so far, and she could not leave
him. She was, isappointed, but, like the
good little girl she was really trying to be
now; she endeavored to be cheerful and •
by ;a.:'
bright, and not to show her vexation bya
sullenfaca or irritable maaner. Jim was
scarcely ever absent from her thmghts, did
she wondered again and again if lerisiitfalitl

The governess said nothing about it on
Monday, morning, though Robin and May
wck.rte the ,veyy, first, childrelOn theaschooi
room. The hymns were said, all ;the les
sons gone through, and the children were
scattering about in every directinn. Little
Hay lingered- 7 shi r had, herbastit 4 in her
hand—and moved shyly dp fb Pres Smith's
side, who was writing a letter at her'desk.
Presently, Miss Smith looked up and said,
" Well, May P'
"If you 'please, matiirn,'th'elittle boy ie

wanted his dinner; and May had to run
:mar to the place
.by the old stone, which
Robin called the " dining-rooin."
They Vera jdst finishing their meal when
Miss Smith . cinie tc; 'them.

Poor little May's face was Covered now

"Now,".said Miss Smith, " I rather want

Robin obeyed; and
,May , whispered, "If:

neat and trim, in her Iliac cotton frock, her
bright hair smoothly braided back from the
earnest intelligent face, which was bonding
toward the '' homeless" boy With a fender
pity and - compassion very sweet to see in so
young a child. Mise Smith was a wise and
kind woman; she knew it would 'never do,
to let her scholars talk at the little side gate
opening'into the lane, with every idle child
of the village; but, she shrank from doing
anything hastily in
. this instance, Which
might
