ROBIN IS WEEPING.
BY B. CABPBS.V.
The robin is weeping, rnv baby dear;
Woe, sweet baby, woe to me!
Mine eye is dim with the swelling tear:
My heart is big with a new-born fear,
Lest the little bird weeps for thee.
Weet- weet. vreet, the robin is weeping.
Weary, oh weary the daytime wore;
Wearily wears the night for me.
Now the house-dog howls outside the door; •
Again he how ls, and my heart is sore,
'Ti the death-howl, babe, for thee,
Weet, weet- weet- the robin is weeping.
The robin is weeping upon the wall,
And a tiny new-made grave I see.
The sexton has been with a little black pall;
Four maidens in white —fa,r, sad and tall —
Are bearing it tenderly.
Weet, weet, weet, the robin is weeping.
The robin is now on the garden gate;
The mother is weeping,' woe is me!'
Her husband-is moitrbrngtheir-childiess state,
' O'God: it is hard tor suffer our fate;
God help us to bear it!' cries he.
Weet, weet, weet, the robin is weeping.

There's a beautiful laud on high,
To its glories I fain would fly—
When by sorrows pressed down, I long for my crown,
In that beautiful land on high.
In that beautiful land I'll lie.
From earth and its cares set free;
My Jesus is there, gone to prepare
A place in that land for me.
There's a beautiful land on high,
I shall enter it by and by ;
There, with friends, hand in hand, I shall walk oa tho
strand,
In that beautiful land on high.
There's a beautiful land on high,
Then why should I fear to die.
When death is the way to the realms of day.
In that beautiful land on high.
There's a beautiful land on high,
And my kindred its oiiss enjoy ;
Methinks 1 now see how they're waiting for me,
Iu that beautiful laud on high.
There's a beautiful land on high,
And tho-' here I oft weep and sigh,

MISCELLAI. T
ALINE RAY.
Aline Ray sat by the fire one cold Do
cc-Luber evening, her slippered toot upon a
low stool, and ber thin hands folded as she
gazed dreamily at tho glowing embers
She was not young, neither had Time dealt
unkindly with her. A lew thr-ads ot >3
ver glistened iu her hair, once so dark m
its glossy beauty, showing that the fleeting
hours had marked some sorrowful paasa
ges in her life's history, iiut the glossy
tresses rippled ovet a brow as fair, and shu
ded eyes as beautiful iu their softened
light as, when a girl, she moved among her
companions the gayest of the gay.
The cold blast whirled dismally around
the streets, and tried angrily to force away
into that cozy little sitting-room, but all in
vain. The cold sleet dashed violently
agaiust the shutters, and the leafless boughs
of the old elm tree before the dcor rattled
warningly over the heads of the few pe
destrians who were of necessity compelled
to be out in the dismal streets.
If the storm king qpuid have but glan
ced into the ruum where Aline sat, there
would have been ample reason for his an
gry mood, afforded in the contrast between
his own dominion aud one exposed to his
view. And so thought a poor shivering
mortal who crept for shelter into the deep
doorway, and, more fbrtuuate than the rude
blast had been, heard the low music of a
soft voice, chanting a song that seemed
to come laden with sweet memories to the
ear of the listener, for she couched low in
the deep shadow, and sobbed bitterly,
while the tears seemed to freeze on her
cheeks.
Of what was the solitary woman in the
cheerful parlor thinking? Every note of
the dear old song she was singing was
iraught with a dream of the Past. And
as Bbe sung familiar faces looked at her
from the glowing embers. The old arm
chair in the corner was filled with a portly
figure and benevolent countenance, shaded
with thin white hair; the low rocking chair
close by holds another form, siightand fra
gile, bent in form, and smoothly banded
hair over her time-furrowed forehtad, yet
bearing traces in her countenance ot great
beauty ; other shadowy figures glide out
from the secret coruers, and flit noiselessly
round in the fitful firelight; a brother, foud
sisters, friends—the dearly loved ones gone
before ! All who had made life pleasant
and beautiful to her had taken that long
journey, and had crossed the dark river,
leaving ber alone aud mourning upon the
earthly shore. 'Ah 1 if it only had been
sol' she was thinking to herself. 'lf I
could only know that the was not suffering
or in want!' And as she said thus to her
self, she shuddered, for she faucied, as the
heavy gusts of wind shook the window,
that she heard a low sharp cry of agony.
Some years ago she had a fair youug sis
ter, her darling, and the pet and pride of
her old parents' hearts Beautiful as a
dream, artless as a child—to know her was
to iove her. And they feared that she WAS
too beautiful to live—this child of earth.
Ah ! if she had only died, ere grief for
her had borne the loving hearts ot the old
lolks to the gates of death, and brought
desolation and care into one of the fairest
and happiest homes upon earth ! There
had been the old story—a handsome and
most fascinating stranger had won the
heart of the innocent girl; and then, tears,
expostulations, threats, commands—all giv
en with a loving severity—yet all in vain.
One bright winter morning the loved one
was gone—had fled from the old homestead,
leaving those who had given her life—and
who had thought nothing in life too beau
tiful or too good tor her—for the arms of
a stranger. They had heard nothing of
her for a long time, and then came news
from a foreign land, ot uncertain sort—a
tew timid words begging for forgiveness,
asking to see the dear old home, with eve
ry now aDd then a sentiment of fear or ter
ror evident ia the tremulous lines. Then
after a short period, more distressing news
—a wife illtreatcd, then deserted, and then
clanffied o'niy to be obliged to follow
the fortunes of a dissipated and brutal hus
baud. But ere this last bitter news had
reached them the two loving old folks had
fouud their perfect rest. Through long
and checkered years they had traveled life
together, and in death they would not be
divided.
As these thoughts crowded into the
iiiind of Aline, the coals dropped from
their places in the grate, and the shadowy
phantoms that tilled the rouni passed into
the empty space, as a sound from the street
reached her ears. It sounded so like ahu
man cry. It must be fancy, she thought,
and tried to call back the lost shadows.
She could not compose herself again. Her
thoughts clung with a strange tenacity to
the iute of her young sister. What would
she not give to see her now—to bear her
footsteps in the silent room, and listen to
her voice making music in the house that
she had alone been mistress of so long.
Suddenly she started to her feet. Purely
there wis a cry—a low, agonizing waii,
making itself heard in the pause of the
storm. The wide hall was reached at a
bound—a step and the door was opened
wide to the shrieking wind A human
form —a woman—lay upon the doorsill. p
patently quite insensible. The sufferer
w >s speedily conveyed into the house—in
to the cozy sating room, which was now
lighted with a brighter glow than from the
firelight; and the oldiashioned soia was
wheeled close to the fire, while willing and
busy hands essayed to bring back life to
Hu. poor creature's frozen form.
Aline .-looped to unfasten the wanderer's
tbtii frock, and as she d'd so a small gold
locket was exposed to view Why did she
star! as she looked at the lace mirrored
therein? fthe threw herself by the insen
sible form, and rained kisses upon her, as
she sobbed rather tliau said, 'O, Lord, I
thank Thee for this great blessing! Mv
sister, oh, my darling sister! the lamb
which was lost and is found again And
so she passed from prayers of thanksgiving
to expressions of joy, until the light of life
dawned in the eyes of the unfortunate
wanderer, and their lips met in mutual ca
ress.
A long story was (hat which Aline lis
toned to the uex: day—gloomy and sad ;
but when it was ended, she brushed out
her sister's long golden curls, twining theiu
over her fingers as of old, aud gazing down
in the liquid blue eyes, radiant with a new
light of hope and peace, said softly, 'There
is only us two, my sister, and though we
have both seen sorrow and waded through
grief, yet cau we now live a new life in
each other.'
The old homestead grew more cheerful
than before, and the two fair ladies who
owned it and made its adornments their
pleasure and pride, were beloved and hon
ored by every one who came within the cir
cle of their lives.
I might go farther, and tell of a night
when the old house was brilliantly lighted,
and many guests assembled to see a lovely
woman in the prime of life pledge her faith
to a noble man —aud how through all the
changes of life that had yet come the sis
ters were never separated; and though
thankful to God for all his mercies, yet
mourned together for those gone before,
sighing 'for the tuuch of a vanished hand,'
aud listening 'for the sound of a voice that
is dead.'
Baptizing a Sinner.
Poor people have a hard time in this
world of ours. Even in matters of reli
giou there is a vast difference between
Lazarus and Dives, as the following anec
dote, copied from au exchange, will illus

Old Billy G had attended a
great revival, and in common with many
others he was 'converted' and baptised.—
Not many weeks afterwards, one of his
irieuds met him reeling home from the
court grounds with a considerable brick in
his hat. 'liello, Uncle Billy,' said the
friend, 'I thought you had joined the
church?' 'So I did,' answered Uncle Bil
ly, making a desperate effort to stand still;
'so 1 did Jeemes, and would a bin a good
Baptist, if they hadn't treated me so ever-
Lstin mean at the water. Didu'tyou hear
about it, Jeemes?' 'Never did.' 'Theu
I'll tell you 'bout it. You see when we
