NIMOIR 3.
I sit and watch the Hot aria shAott blend-
As day ' s retttiln'tgglbry leaves the west,
Tilt n%ht' %Irk curtain, silently descending,
Mitts back my winged day-dreams to their
hest,.
And the dusk landscape's vast unbroken plain
rails on my sense with dull and heavy pain.
Oh, night and silence! solemnly enshrouding
The objects that my heart has learned to
love,
Roused by our spell weird messergers come
crowding.
Which only hours like these have power to
move,
Reckoning my spirit inward to behold
The curtain of their mystic wcrld unrolled.
Then thou art with me thou my sours ideal,
A presence felt—a prophecy fulfilled--
A life within my own : intensely real— .
Whose pulses Pith my holiest hopes have
thrilled—
Thou, whose great soul, with loftier aim than
mine,
!Attest my struggling, nature up to thine.
It may be that the earthly name thou bcarest
Will ne'er be spoken to my mortal ear;
Yet tho' unrecognieed the fortn thou wearest,
t 'eel no less thy lying presence near,
Which, entering in my soul's most deep recess,
Reveals thy being to my consciousness.
Perhaps we side by side have stood together.
Anil hand with hand in transient clasp
have met l
Trod the. same path in bright and stormy
weather,
Seen childhood's sweet illusions rise and
set;
Perhaps exchanged -life's outward courtesies,
While soul from soul was veiled in close dis
guise.
1 50
Or it maybe froth heights we call unreal, '
Beeausr , our sight is dulled by mists of earth,
Thy forvid thought shapes many a bright ideal,
O'er which I muse uncousciotis whence its
birth. _
It may be that this homesickness of heart
Is but a yearning to be where thou art. -
And it may be a pang of isolation
Mingles with thy delight its sad silky;
That life lacks fullness, even in bear relation
To the eternal source of life and joy.
Panting, though living waters round thee
burst,
To quench the fever of thy human thirst.
Perhaps, though entered on thy rest before
me,
Thou watchest, waiting, wanting something
still ;
And by that speechless yearning weavest o'er
tne
A my-tic chain that hinds me to 013 will.
Else what the secret of this vague unrest.
This longing unfulfilled within my breast?
I know hut this: how opposite soveer .
Our paths in time's short passage may di
verge,
Though change or accident way seem to sever,
And seas between us roll their sleepless
. surge,
There is a goal where I shall meet with thee,
And join my life to thine eternally.
Ahd then I wake or sleep, in joy or sorrow,
Though care may weave fur we its heaviest
chain,
Nothing can quench the light of that to-mor
row
Whcie promise brightens every hour of
• pain.
When the celestial gates for me unclose,
My soul shall find in thee its lost repose.

Intelligence of this failure soon spread
through all .the business circles in which
Martin wasknown, and for two or three
days alMest every other .person you met

blamed; and some spoke harshly and ad

by the failure.. I felt grieved - fez', Mar
tin. It was a sail ordeal for a man of
right feelings to pass through.
I did not meet him, except casually in
the street, fur some time after his failure.
But, passing his store one day. and

up hu.iness. I felt that. as one who had
known him with sonic personal intimacy,
I should , not hold ru‘self aloof in this his
day of trouble. called at his'honse
on evening. l'hen 1 grasped his hand
and looked into his face! saw that he had
not come through this trial without great
suffering._ He had the arpearance of a
man who had come recently from a bed
of sickness.
" tiow are you, my friend?" I asked,
as we sat down together.
"As well as could .be hoped for," he
replied, a feeble smile touching his lips
wit h. a ray of light.
"Cast down, but not forsaken." -
" Not forsaken, I trust," he answered
in a tirmei voice.
" This is one of the troubles that is
hard' to bear," said I.
" Yes; .but, as in all other troubles,
our strength is as our day."
'•I cm pleased. to hear you - say that," I
remarked.
"1 should be sorry, indeed, if I could
not say it," he answered, still gaining
steadiness of manner. "We look forward
to great trials-with a shuddering sense of
fear, because we arc emiscious only of the
feeble power .of endurance that may be
called, our own. But when the trial
comes, and we go down amidst the rush
ing waters in fear and shuddering lest they
overwhelm us, we find an arm to lean
upon that is unseen but full of strength."
"And !.4o vo it strength Las been as
your day ?" said I
"Yes, or I should have perished among
the floods. That I sit here, and talk
with yoti as a wan to his friend, clothed
and in my right wind, makes the tact ev
ident " .
"Could you - not have prevented this
disaster'?" I asked, duiint; cur euuversa•

earnestness,

been discounted. aid I had, of course, to
take care of them. In doing this the
means held in reserve fOr maturing pay

I was thrown upon the street as a burrow

this dreaded ordeal, more pain:ul Omni

go in with him of course. When this 1
question came into my mind . •Is it right' !
to take advantage of the ignorance of

their:property at a inete tithe Li: its real'

cansiderably, and I endeavored to put it
out of my mind. '. But it kept repeating
itself, and growing more and more intru
sive ever nwthent. ' , , •
, —What do yoc say?' -asked the man,
breaking in upon my long, hesitating si
lence.
" In one hem- I will give you an - ans

said I.
" This would afford me time to look at
the subject on all siti2s. Thoetuptation,
under the dreadful pressure ufl uty cit.-
cenistanc:s, was very great. In either
of the - previous ordeals through' which I
passed I. would have yielded with scarce

that a way,oreseape like ibis was - defen;

judgment in the act ? Was it a deed
that any good conscience could bear on

' As, I dwelt on the subject my Mind grew
