BALTIJSORK LOCK
HOSPITAL
,B. JOHNSTON,
PBysician of this celebrated Institution, has
discovered the most certain, speedy, pleasant and
effectual remedy In the world for all
DISEASES OF IMPRUDESCE.
Weakness of the Back or Limbs, Strictures,
Affections of Kidneys and Bladder, Involun
tary Discharges, Impotency, General Debili
ty, Nervousness, Dyspcpsy, LanuTior, Low
Spirits, Confusion of Ideas, Palpitation of
the Heart, Timidity, Tremblings, Dimness
of Sight or Giddiness, Disease of the Head,
Throat, Nose or Stin, Affactions of Liver, Lungs,
Stomach or Bowels those terrible Disorders
arising from the Solitary Habits of Youth those
secret and solitary practices more fatal to their
victims than the song of 8yrens to the Mariners
of Ulysses, blighting their most brilliant hopes
of anticipations, rendering marriage, Ac., impos
sible. XOUNG MEN
especially, who have become the victims of Soli
tary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave
thousands of young men of the most exalted,
talent and brilliant Intellect, who might other
wise have entranced listening Senates with the
thunders of eloquence or waked to ecstacy the
living lyre, may call with full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married Persons or Young Mf u contemplating
marriage, aware of Physical Weakness, (Loss
jof Procreative Power Impotency), Nervous Ex
citability, Palpitation, Organic neatness, ner
vous Debility, or auy other Disqualification,
speedily relieved.
He who places himself under the care of Dr. J.
may religiously confide iu his honor as a gcntle
" wan, and confidently rely unon his skill as a Pliv
tician. ORGANIC WEAKNESS.
Impotency, Loss of Power, Immediately Cured
and full Vigor Restored.
This Distressing Affection which renders Life
miserable and marriage Impossible is the penalty
paid by the victims of improper indulgences.
Young" persons are too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful conseqcnccs
that may ensue. Now, who that understands
the subject will pretend to deny that the power
of procreation is lo6t sooner by those falling into
improper habits than by the prudent t Besides
liciug deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring,
t he most serious and destructive symptoms to both
body and mind arise. The system becomes de
ranged, the Physical and Mental Functions
Weakened, Loss of Procreative Power, Nervous
Irritability, Dvspe. .ia, Palpitation of the Heart,
Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wasting
of the Frame, Cough, Consumption. Decay and
Death.
A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS.
Persons mined in health by unlearned preten
ders who keep them trifling month after month,
taking poisonous and Injurious compounds,
should apply Immediately.
DR. JOHNSTON,
MeiulK-r of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from ouc of the most eminent
Col'eges in the United States, and the greater
part of whose Ifc has been spent in the hospitals
of Loudon, Pris, Philadelphia nud elsewhere,
has effected some of the most astonishing cures
tiiat were ever known ; many troubled with ring
ing in the head and ears when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
hashfulncss, with frequeut blushing, attended
nmctimes with derangement of mind, were cured
Immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injurrd
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting
them for cither business, study, society or uiar
riugc. These are 6orac of the sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz :
Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in the
Back and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Diircstive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con
cumption. 6ic.
Mkktaiay The fearful effects on the mind
arc much to be dreaded Lost of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, EvU
Forcbodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, Ac, are some of the
evils produced.
Thousands of person of ail ages can now
judee what is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the eye6, cough and symptoms of consump
tion. YOUNG MEN
Who have injured th mselves by a certain prac
tice Indulged In when alone, a habit frequently
k-arued from evil companions, or at school, the
t'1'.ects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, nud if not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, and destroys both mind and body, should
apply immediately.
W hat a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the darliug of his parents, should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments ot j
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
jwuli of nature and Indulging iu a certain secret
habit, Such persons VCST before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed without these, the Journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prosject
hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and filled with the meluu
cboly reflection, that the happiness of another
Incomes blighted w ith our own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided nud imprudent votary ol
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds ol
this inful disease, it too often happens that an
ill-timed seuse of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education and resiectability, can alouc befriend
him, delaying till the const it utlonud symptoms ol
this horrid disease make their nppearauce, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased uosc, noctural
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of eight,
deafnos, node on the shin boues and arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate of the mouth or the boues of the nose fall
in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to "that Undiscovered Country from whence
uo traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, &c., destroy the constitution, and
iucapable of curing, keep the unhappv sufferer
month after month taking their noxious or in
jurious compounds, and instead of being restored
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, iu des
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
his galling disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. JoHfTO pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecv, and
from his extensive practice and observations in
the great Hospitals of Euro), and the first in
this country, vie: England, France, Philadelphia
aud elsewhere, Is enabled to offer the most cer
tain, speedy and effectual remedy in the world
for all diseases of Imprudence.

have appeared again and aga:n before the public,

afflicted. Shin diseases speedily cured.

FOR BABY'S SAKE.
The weary night has worn away
In troubled dream and start of pain ;
And, grouping through the shadows gray,
Morn lights my darkened room again.
How can I meet this bitter morn,
Life's anguish left, its hopo forlorn ?
How can I bear the thoughts that wake
From sleep with me ? For baby's sake !
The brighest of the morning beams
Seeks out the darling lying there ;
It seeks out the sleep-flushed check ; it gleams
Iu tangled waves of sunny hair ;
Files from the hand that grasps in vaiu,
Then kisses the soft lips again :
No shadow of my sorrow lies
In those forget-me-nots, bis eyes.
I check the sights that quickly come,
Drive back tho tears that haste to spring ,
I will not cloud, with look of gloom,
The little one's awakeniug ; .
His father's face he ne'er shall sec ;
More bright his mother's smile must be !
My bark of joy gone done its wake
Must glitter still for baby's stke.
Dear baby arms, that clasp my own !
The soft embrace renews my power ;
Sweet voice, I hear in every tone
God's message to my darkest hour.
He knew the griefs my soul must stir,
And set my little comforter:
A baby's hand to help me on
A baby's love to lean upon.
Nor all alone, I'm sometimes sure,
My joy in this fair child can be ;
From holier home, with love more pure,
His father watches hira with me.
To grasp Heaven's hope, by faith and prayer,
To train his boy to meet him there
For this I live ! For this I wake !
Help me, dear Lord ! for baby's sake I

THE STORY OF A JUNE ROSE.
BY EBEN E. KEXKOKD.
Last night, when I was sitting at the
window with Davie on my knee, watching
the sunset, mother read nic a little poem
she had found come who re, that she thought
would please inc. And I don't know when
I have heard anything that touched me as
that simple little thing did. I have read it
over since, till I can repeat every word of
it. I think I shall never forget it.. I shall
keep it with my memory of my June Rose,
who is beautiful to day in the gardens of
God : and the June roses that have blos
somed and faded through fifty summers of
my life, not more sweet aud pure than was
she who was the sweetest flower ot them
all. Let me repeat the poem to you. I am
sure you will like it. I wish I had known
! it iu the lime of June roses. If I had, I
would have said it over to them ; aud I
am sure they would have understood me.
I'm a queer, odd sort of a fellow, you see.
I .have all sorts of strange fancies. Rut I
was going to repeat to you the
poem.
Listen :
There's a gleam or red In the garden,
And a breath of balm on the brocze,
Aud I know the sweet June roses
Are blossoming under the trees ;
Of all the flowers ol the Summer
Nuue arc so sweet as these.
But there comes a pain with the fragrance
Out of the lie-a it of the rose,
And a memory tender with sorrow,
Of one who no sorrow knows.
Who came, in a vanished Snmnier,
Aud gave me u red June rose.
And she gave me her heart with the Hoxvr ;
Oh ! never a blossom that blows
Is sweet as tliu heart of my darling,
That she gave me with a rose.
Darling, the blossom has faded,
But your love no foiling knows.
I beud o'er those royal blossoms,
A-swing by the gardeu-wall.
And my heart is astir in my bosom,
As ir it heard you call.
Where are you, oh my darling !
Sweetest June rose of all T '
Oh, my love ! like a Summer blossom,
Yu died as these roses will ;
Died ! but the heart you gave me
I hold in my keeping still,
I shall keep it forever and ever,

Blossom, oh, roses of June time!
Turn your led hearts to the sun ;
You were born to bloom aud to perish,
When the Summer is just begun ;
&.o died the hopes of my June-time,
Like the rosns, one by one.
But I fancy each fallen blossom
Will some day blo$som aga'tu,
And the hopes that died with the roses
Like the bocs of so many men,
Will come back in the June of Heaven,
And then, oh, my darling then !
Oh ! I believe it as much as I believe that
there i3 a Heaven ! The beautiful, sweet
hopes which died like roses here, will blos
som out into fulfillment there ; and I shall
have ray Juue Rose again, mine only, and
miue evermore.
Sitting in the garden iu long summer
days, with Davie playing at my side, I can
shut my eyes, and fancy she is there as I
used to see her, with her face the fairest
flower in all the garden. Such a sweet,
pure face. Have you never seen faces that
were like llowers ? She had one, with the
pink of Juue Roses flushing her cheeks,
; and the scailet color of their hearts staining
her lins. and it was because her face always
j made me think of them, that I called her
June Rose. She had the fairest, sweetest
face I ever knew. When I think of a saint.
some way it always has her fice; aud when I
I dream of au angel, eyes such as hers i
were, blue as
m . iiw,a vifdoia ilnwn in th
corner of the garden, look at me, with silly,
! vel'ow hair all a flutter over neck and
: J .
breast. Well, why should it not be so ?
She is an angel now, and perhaps, she is
the oulv aniicl I dream of.
I always loved her.

and I was erowinir tin to boyhood.
ot n l a
and ask for flowers from my garden ; and
. r t r - .i
always I gave her the loveliest ones there.
I never could do that for any one else. I
loved my flowers too well for that ; but I
loyed her better than my flowers. It seem
ed to me that there was nothing in the
world too good for her. To mc she was
the one woman in tho world.
' We never used to talk of love together.
Rut we talked of other things almost as
sweet, and found in the companionship of
each other a happiness that was pleasant
as a dream. I think through all those years,
I was dreaming. She was the child of
wealthy and aristocratic parents, and I
was a poor crippled fellow, with only
enough of this world's goods to keep me
comfortable ; but with my Juno Rose and
my flowers, I was as rich a man as ever
lived. I never thought of losing her; I
was content. And, dreaming thus, I let
the days drift by, happy in the present,
and thinking nothing, caring nothing for
the future.
I must have been wild to think that one
with a face as fair as hers was, would keep
out of sight of envious eyes. I miht have
known, if I had stopped to think about it
al all, that, sooner or later, someone would
come along and spy my sweet, little June
Rose blowing in the coualry-ways, and
seek to wear it for his own. But I was so
happy that I never thought of such a thing
as that. Perhaps I did not dare to let my
self look earnestly into the future.
One day she came down to get some
flowers for the parlors.
My cousin Ralph is coming to-morrow,'
she said, 'aud our garden ia such a poor,
I little thing that it can't afford enough flow
! ers for us. Resides, I like your flowers
I best, Davie. I wonder why ? I guess it's
because I like you. so well Don't yoa ?'
'I hope so, little Juno Rose,' 1 answered,
! sofLly, and broke off a cluster of pansy
! blossoms, and put them in her yellow hair.
'I don't know what I should do if it
were not for you, Davie,' she said, while
I gathered the flowers she wanted.
'I was thinking, while I was coming
down here, what a lonesome place this
would be if you were to go away. I think
you are the best friend I ever had, Davie,
except ray mother.' And then she looked
j away toward the little church yard, where
the pansies were blossoming among the
daisies on her mother's grave ; and I fan
cied that there was a little shade of trouble
in her face. 'If I were to go away, Davie,
would you miss me ?'
'Miss yon V That was all I said ; but
I know it was enough to tell her that if
she were to go out ot my little world, all
the sunshine would go with her. I know
1 grew pale at the very thought of losing
her. It was something I had not thought
of before. It stunned me like a blow.
'I hope I shall never go away,' she said,
by-and-by. 'I want to always stay here,
Davie. You arc a better friend than I
should find anywhere else.'
When she was gone, I sat down aud
thought. Was there a shadow coming
over the sky 'i Was I going to lose my
June Rose the only woman iu the world
I cared for, except my mother ? I don't
know how long I sat there in the twilight,
thinking, but I knew how it was going to
be before I got up and went in. This
cousin was coming to steal my Juue Rose
away from me.
'Why, Davie,' mother cried, 'what ails
you ? You are pale as any ghost. You
look as if something had frightened you.'
'Something has,' I answered. 'Oh,
mother, mother, I am going to lose my lit
tle June Rose ;' and then I hid my face iu
my hands, and could not speak again for a
long time, because tears choked me.
Nest day her cousin came. I saw them
riding by. He had a handsome, southern
face, dark, and haughty ; but there was
j something cruel and sinister in it that made
me fchivcr when I thought of trusting the
. happiness of my June Rose to his keep- j
j She came down with him one day to see
j my flowers. He had a sueering, ha'.f con-;
j temptuous smile for me, and but few words, j
j A man who was weak enough to love
flowers, was too weak a man for his frieud
j ship, he thought, probably ; and I was sure
! his friendship was the last one in the world
I would ever care for. He was robbing
I my life of its beauty aud brightness, and I
could not clasp hands with him for that
j reason, if no other. So, when she intro
i duced us to each other, we merely bowed,
and then there was a little silence, which
seemed to me like that silence which al
i ways comes when a dear friend's life has
! gone out into the unkuown world, and we
i stand beside that which was he, but Is he
! no longer awed aud tearful. Oh, my
j sweet, sweet hopes, that were lying there
I before me, dead that moment. They could
! not see them, but I could,
j . When she came again, I knew well
enough before she told me a word what it
i was she had come to tell. Her face was
full of unrest, and her eyes looked like vio
! lets that had been wet with rain,
j 'I want you to go down to the church
I with me,: she said. 'I am in one of my
restless moods to-day, and listening toyour
! playing always quiets me.'
i For the last time we walked down the
' old path together, and we were nearly
there before either of us spoke.
Then
'Oh, Davie, I am going away,' she
cried ; and the violet eyes were hidden in
a shower of tears.
Going away I I wonder if there aro'any
words that are sadder than those are ? I
could not speak. I tried to, but my voice
was all broken up, aud I turned my face
! away to hide my pain. She came up to
me, and slipped ber hand in mine ; and so
hand in hand we walked the road together,
as we often had done, but never would
again, aud all the while she wjis weeping
softly.
Oh, Davie,' she cried, as we reached
the steps, 'I do not want to go away. I
shall never be so happy anywhere else as I
have been here. You will not forget me,
i W"'U 30U '"
'Forget you ?' I cried. 'Do you think
a man. suddenly stricken blind, would ever

then she laid her head down on the steps,
as if her heart was breaking.
'It is a strange world, little June Rose,'
I said, tenderly. 'I oughtn't to have told
you what I have, but I couldn't keep it. I
might have known better than to let my
self think of you in that way, for you were
never meant for such as me. Rut I love
you just the same for all that ; and it is a

will, that there ia one who will never for

'Oh, I will, I will 1' she cried, lifting
her eye to me trustingly. 'I shall re
member your love, Davie, as something
sweet and sacred ; and I know it wiil help
me to be braver and stronger.'
When I began playiug that afternoon, I
could find nothing but the very saddest of
minor chords, for nothing else was suited
to the thought that filled my brain. They
told of love and loss ; of dead hopes, and
wild, passionate longing for that which
was oat of reach. But, as I played, I
though i that God understood it all, and
that iu His own good time it would all
come right ; and that it was our part to
take up the work of life, ho matter how
lonely and wearisome it might be with
iravchearts, and do it a uoWy and faith
fully as we could ; and something told me
that, by-and by, there would come a time
when I should have my own again ; aud
then the music grew grander in its harmo
ny, aud died away iu one long, Rweet chord,
that was full of rest and peace.
'Oh, Davie, if life could be ewett, at the
last, as your music was, one could bear a
great deal, for the sake of the rest at the
end,' she said, softly. 'For your sake, for
my own sake, I will try to do my duty
bravely, and the rest I trust to God.'
And then we walked back home togeth
er for the last, last time. Oh, those last
times ! How sorrowful tverylhing con
nected with them is ! We can never forget
them. But under all the pain of loss and
loneliness was the thought that sometime,
somewhere, this side of Heaven, my June
Rose would come back to me, and I should
have my own again. And thiuking that, I
could bear my sorrow better.
I only saw her once after that, and that
was on her wedding day. Her father came
to me, and wanted me to play the Wed
ding March, and trim the church with
flowers. And for her sake I robbed my
garden of its treasures. I wanted to make
everything as bright and beautiful for her
aa I could ; and though I loved my flowers
with a friendship that was strong and ten
der, I was willing to sacrifice them, if by
so doing, I could give her one thought of
plcasute. I made her a wreath for her
bridal, pure, white valley-lilies, with one
pink June rose-bud nestling between ; and
a purple pansy to hide its dusky splendor
in the gold ot her hair, and bid her remem
ber me. And I know well enough that she
understood.
I played the Wedding March, and in spite
of myself my fingers would search out sad
minor notes, and an undertone of that was
full of longings and regrets, and sorrows,
for that which had come and gone like the
sunshine of a beautiful day, kept runniug
through the music, which should have
been glad and jubilant.
When the ceremony was over, I went up
to ber, and took her hand iu mine for a
moment, saying, simply, 'God bless and
keep you, my little June Rose !' and that
was all. I could net trust myself to say
more. She lifted her violet blue eyes to
mine, and the rain of tears that was on
them made them dim. The sight of them
made my own grow misty and blind ; and
saying once more, 'God bless you !' I
turned away to hide the sorrow in my face.
And I saw my Juue Rose no more for
years.
Oh, life was so lonely and sad without
her. I thought of her always. My pan
sies made mc think of her eyes, and the
roses of her cheeks, and the daffodils of her
yellow hair ; and the lillies were like her
pure, sweet soul. Every spot spoke of ber.
Every hour of the day something told me
in its own way of what had gone out; of my
little world. But I knew it would come
again, and I wailed.
The years went by, and they brought
many changes. The father of my June
Rose died, and the property was sold, go
ing to her husband. I heard from her
once or twice, in a roundabout way. They
said she was not happy ; that her husband
was cruel and dissipated ; and I yearned
to open my arms, and take my June Rose
under their shelter.
And, as the years went by, I tyaited for
what I knew was coming ; for I knew all
the time that she would come back to mc
this side of the other world.
It was a wild and bitter night when she
came back. The snow was falling in blind
ing whiteness over meadow and hill, and
the wind was fierce aud high. A lonesome
dreary night for any one to be out in, and
I shivered as I thought of wanderers who
might be facing its fury.
We were sittiug by the fire, mother and
I, and wc had been silent a long time.
Suddenly, above the shieking of the storm,
I heard something that sounded like a
child's voice at the door.
'What was that ?' mother said, and I
got up to see.
I opened the door, and a woman fell
across the threshold, holding a child in her
arms.
'Oh, Davie, I have come back agaiu,'
cried the woman, liftiug a white, haggard
face to mine. 'Pity me ! pity me !'
That voice ' I should have known it
anywhere, even beyoud the heavenly gales.
And that face ! Ob, it was the face of my
June Rose, changed ftoin its old bright
beauty, but still the loveliest face in the
wide world to mc.
'Oh, my, darling,' I. cried, and caught
her to my breast. 'You have come back
to me, and I have waited so long, so long !'
and for a moment I could see nothing
through my tears.
'Are you Uncle Davie V piped a wee
voice at my side, and the child tugged a;
my coat. 'Mamma told me I was goiu' to
s?e Uncle Davie. She makes me pray for
him every night. If you're Uncle Davie,
I want to kiss you. Mayn't I ?'
I bent down, and gathered the child
my June Rose's child to my breast, and
he kissed me over and oyer again.
'My name's Davie, too' he said, strok
ing my face.
Davie! She had given him' my name.
I bent down aud kissed her tenderly, and
her face was full of rest.
'Dear child ! cried mother, taking her
away from me gently, and rubbing her
dear old eyes to hide the tears that would
blind them, Mont you see how wet her
clothes are ? And she's just tired qut,
poor thing. Go into the wood shed, and
get some wood to kindle up the fire, while
I change her clothes for dry ones.'
I went out, and stood there by the win
dow for many moments ; and the night
seemed suddenly changed into one of won-

derful beauty. The star at Bethlehem had
not wrought a greater change to the eyes
ofthe whatcbing shepherds, than the sight
of the face I loved had made for me. Tho
j world and the night was transfigured,
j When 1 went in, she was sitting iu raoth
jer's great rocking chair, befure the lire,
j looking, oh ! so pale, and wan, that the
tears came to my eyes at sight of ber. She
turned her face towards me, aud a smile of
great, unutterable peace came over it.
'I can rest now," she said, anJ put
her hand in mine ; and as I sat and held
it, the waxen lids drooped over the violets
of my darling's eyes, and she slept.
Davio had nestled confidingly in moth
er's arms, and I saw that he had quite won
her kind old heart. Dear mother ! A bet
ter woman never lived than you ; and your
heart was quite large enough to take as all
in an old fashioned heart, that had room
for all who chose to come in," and always
room for one more.
When morning came, she told her story
over to mother and me. Her husband had
been cruel to her from the first. He was
a drunkard and a gambler, and he spent
his own fortune and that which came to
him from her. He had moved about from
place to place, getting lower and lower in
the world all the time. Her life had been
a wretched, bitter one. At last, when it
had begun to seem to her that she must
lie down and for despair and shame of the
life he was leading, he got into a drunken
quarrel, and received a blow from which
he never recovered. When he was dead,
she had no one to cling to, no home Co go
to, and then 'Then I yearned so for
your friendship, Davie ; for rest and peace,
after such weary years, that I come back ;
and oh ! I think this must be heaven.'
It was heaven to me, for I had my own
again.
But I knew from the first, that I could
not keep her with me loug. There was
something in her face that told me that
her life was fading like a snowdrift iu
spring-time.
I used to sit for honrs, and 'watch her
face ; not so much like a June rose now, as
it was like a liliy, white and fragile, and
too frail-to last. The shadows had all
faded out of it, leaving nothing but rest
there. The thought of loosing her was one
of the keenest pain ; but to loose ber in
this way was not like the old loss : for now
she was mine, and, after death, she would
be mine still. She would go on before me
and wait my coming, and the parting
would not be long.
'When I am gone, she said one day, 'I
wantyou to keep Davie. I give him to yoa
the only gift I have to give to the best and
truest heart I ever knew.'
'The only gift except your love.' I said
softly.
Ok. that vou had Ions aso ' sns ans
wered. Ton have had that all along.'
Can yon know how sweet those words
were to me ? My June Rose loves me, and
knowing that. I could even bear to let her
go. For I knew that it woti!d not be for
long.
Aud as the days of winter merged into
those o" spring, she grew weaker, and weak
er, and I saw that the end was not far off.
'I want to live to sec the Jane roses.'
she said, one day. 'I wonder how loug it
will be before they will blossom ? I love
to sit for hours to smell them ; and thero
was something in their fragrance that
made me forget every thing else. And
your love, Davie, is like them. It is so
sweet that it ha9 charmed me into forget
fulness of the trouble that came to me in
those weary, weary years.. So sweet, so
very sweet, Davie.' '
April days came, and the willows by the
river put on a misty greenness that held in
it a hint of summer. The meadows bright
ened into their own beauty, and all the
world was waking up from its . winter
dream.
And my June Rose faded like a flower.
She got nearer and nearer to the other land
every day. When the May had brought
its blossoms, and the summer-time was
j just outside the door, she was so near the
sates that she could see beyond them.
It was a June eveuing when she died.
j The sun had gone down in golden pomp,
I and the hills seemed clustered with fire.
A glory, which made me think 'That light
I which never was on iand or sea.' made the
world strangely fair, as the day died, and
we waited for the going out of the soul of
my June Rose.
'Oh, Davie, I have been so happy here,'
she saiil. 'So happy. God bless you,
dear !'
'By and-by she wanted us U lift Davie
up for her to kiss, She held him on her
breast for a long time, kissing him now
and then, softly, until he fell asleep.
'It is almost night, isn't it ?' she asked.
The sunset was flushing up the hill-tops
still with gold aud purple splendors. 1
fancied that the- gates were swung wide
open, waiting for her going through.
'Are the June roses blossomed yet ?' she
asked. 'I wish I could hold one in my
hand. It would make me think of your
love, Davie, because it is so sweet, I should
take it into Heaven with me, and it would
never fade.'
Pretty soon she closed her eyes.
'I am sleepy and tired. I think I'll try
to rest. Kiss me good night, Davie.'
I bent and kissed her, knowing that
good morning would be said orer there !
And then my June Rose slept, and the
sleep was that God givcth his beloveth.
Ou, she was mine, now mine evermore.
My June Rose was beautiful in the garden
of G od !
I leaned out ofthe window, while moth
er folded the hands upon the silent breast.
Looking up I saw the Evening Star tremb
ling whitely in a sea of azure. Looking
down, I saw that one June rose had burst
into fragrant bloom, and I had broke it
from its stem, and put it in her hands.
How peaceful she looked ! She had gone
on ahead to wait for my coming, and I
bent,and whispered to her softly,and I knew
she understood. 'Yes, darling, I will be
with you by-and-by.' And I knew that the
hopes and dreams of my life-time will all
come back to me in the June of Heaven,
