Farewell, mother, you may never

But Oh! you'll notlomet me, mother,
Though Fru numbered with the slain.
Oh ! bow I long to *ere you, mother
And the loving Mimi at home,
But Cil never leave one standard,
Till in honor' can come.

How their cruel words we know,
That In battle kill our soldiers,

LINES TO A BESEAVED MOTHER,
flow sea our hearts that day, slater,
When we stood beside the bier,
Where Calvin lay, so calm in death,
Devoid of pain or far.
In one short week the mourning grotto
Aasembled there again:
The mother's heart must now be crushed,
The father's hopes be Slain.
For two street boys are stricken down
By death's alarming call,
There fide by site the minus atand—
A sad, sad sight to all.
Leslie's and Martin's form no more
On earth our eyes shalt greet,
To sabbath school no more they'll come
To hit their vacant scat.

And Nettle's form le clothe• in death,
And reel. in that same filer.
Nellie, dear babe, frail, they say 4
We fear she too must die;
We dove our ears, it most not be,
We plead with Ood on high
To spare this darting little one
To cheer her parents' heart,
Of late so often doomed to bear
The sorrowing mourner's' pact.
But no; our cry has not been heard,
She's now an angel ;
The casket lies In yonder grave,
The spirit free as air.
Our tears flow fast. How can It he
That God, so just and kind,
Can thus afflict and bruise and break ?
How can we be resigned ?
But hark! Oar faithful pastor stands
Beside those new made -graves,
Be speaks of consolation true,
la God's own book that saves.
He says he's glad ire finds In this
"He ehasteneth whom he loves,"
And to the afflicted mourning soul,
A source of comfort proves.
The mother tlllll6 with anguish deep,
St.thinks I hear her yet •
But sister go, thy oarioarli near,
This hour we'll not forget.
The music of the daughters' voice,
Thou'll rules, for they were dear,
The merry shout of thine older boys,
moult list In rain to hear.
Bat who can paint the Joy of those
Who suffer here below,
When on fair Canasn's peaceful shore
No bitter tears will flow.
There high on those celestial plains
Oar loved ones we may greet,
And sing our Saviour's dying love,
And worship at lets feet.

Olive Hudson was In Brooklyn, at the residence

beauty to Olive, brought. up , rtiong.tbe simple art
