THE SONG OF , THE OVING.*.
*This "Song of the Dying" was written and
Emig years ago, at a time when 'the British
gast India Company's soldiers were dying by
hundreds, diming the prevalence of the chol
era in that region., "Varied to snit the, eir

_Josie,

had dropped her head upon a velvet chair
seat and!fallen asleep.
"1 dont Wonder," sighed Josie,
ing of her three hours' practice; •"I wish
I. could go to sleep when practicing time
comes."' ' '
It was an early April day. There was
a soft rain falling Outside; inside, the
room seemed warm 'and close-to
She opened the window a little; and then
left 'the room and shut the door.-„ _
Suddenly the red coals cracked sharply
and a-spark flew oat upon the hearth rug:
If Roie had been awake, she would in-
Mandy have put her foot, upon it ;- but,a.s
she was pot, the scent of burning wool
arose in the room,and soon a smouldering
fire ran along the - rich carpet. It swept
around:a chair, and rushed up against the
'folding dears, which were of light - wood,
and 80013 began to crackle and roar. The
smoke puffed and wreathed, and Rose's'
sleep changed to a heavy stupor.. She
layinsensible in the burning room, saved
from entire suffocation by ; the;; sweep of
rainy air from the window:
It had grown quite dark.l It was strange
that people from the outside did not see
the fire for the room was full of a lurid
light: The red flame and black smoke
crept, writhing up the fair walls to the
rich pictures, and the light lace window
drapery dropped down in burning frag
ments. I The scent and smoke_were sti-
fling, and, in the midst of this scene lay
the unconcious girl as yet unharmed,
though the fitunes darted around her,now
and-then ! snatching at her soft drapery'
_I
and hanging curls. ,
Sud,derily there was a-shout of fire,and
simultaneously a crash. The folding_
doors fell in and through them 'came the
inmate of the next room, John Boone.—
The flames and smoke met him like a wall
but he sprang forward and snatched Rose
up with a passionate exclamation.
To btsyery arms the flames - leaped upon
her, crisping her curls, sweeping their
black lines across her unconscious face,
and snatching away her faint breath. He
swore, 'with:set teeth, his own flesh burn
ing; both their clothing on' fire,' as he
fought hib way back to his room.
The fire paranoli him and clung to him.
In this emergency he refrained from open!
ing the. ball doors; his presence of mind
was not in the least unpaired. Flinging,a
heavy shawl around Rose, he het,
in'it, extinguishing the fire, tore off his
own smoking coat, took up Rose again;and
went out upon the piazia, shutting the
window after him, though the alarm .had
spread, and engines and accompanying
crowds, were flocking about the building,
The outsiders saw and shouted at him.
- A ladder was put up against the piazza,
and he came down,-bat just as a fireman
took Rose a sudden dizn'ess and prostra
tion overcame him and he fainted. , •
It was nearly two mouths before he saw
Bose again. Both were considerably
burned ontWardly, and injured by inbal-
ing the hot, dense atmosphere. But 'at
the end- of May,. Boon one, day rode out
to Jamaica F'lain,where Rose was to spend
the summer. It was a very strange thing
for him to do ; he was not given to calling
upon young ladies.
.Rose was in a little garden, which was
full of late lilies and early roses, a fresh,
sunshiny place, ringing with the songs of
birds. 6bo was trainina the rose viues,
her hat hanging' frdcn her neck by its
strings, her head bare, showing the dark
ctirls, cut short, since .. by the fire.
_8 he . looked so young - that Johr , Boone
on ;the road stopped - suddenly as if &edit=
ful of his errand. - But hevent on finally
and-Swung open the . gate.
Rose was very glad to see him, though,
he could see, by the,startled look in her
eyes, that be wasl as associated in mind
with thoughts of fear and distresi.
- He stayed, at _the cottage. several hours.
When he started; away' Rose wen t into
the garden viithlhial, asking him if he
would take soine:flOwere tr she would cut
them.
" - Yes," •
•
He watched her earnestlyasabe-ent the
pinks and .roses and vernal psis and the
hand,crith - which he took them tremhled.
"Yon were not quite sure that r lihed

my;life has been hard since; mach has
been crael.'and bitter to bear. It hafi
made ma . .: moroab and cynical,,'and the
habit of, revenging myself upon innocent
people grew upon me . Rose until, you
told your cousin that you liked me,-that
da ,I had not heard a tender irides speak
my name for five years,and it was my fault.
You dnn't know how'it came upon me I I
loQed "on from that hoar. Y ou thanked

dilwhat I could not help. 'You were
d ,rer to me than my own heart. I-would
have - been burned to the boue to have
saved you a moment's paw. Rose, what
do you say to me ? All my happinees is
centred in you."
She put up her hands, a sudden sweet
' ness and radiance suffusing her facts. I
"Take it, then," she said, softly. ' i
And, still holding the dews rise,Btione
took the two fragile little handsandkisied
them. His kisses were ter - v.t...t. - ~,
as bright as .'any man's. Ruse Frazier
had found his heart.
Was it Ever Paraidled?
The year that we are now passing through
this -eighteen hundred and sixty-five,
!stands out in:grand, bold relief from all
its predecessors,a - star of the first magni
tude in time's constellation.
It sate the end of the imperious slave
holder's rebellion.
It saw the end of American Slavery
Ita carlieit flowers covered ,the bier of
a nation's-murdered hero.
,
The sun atidshowers of its youth month
freshened the green grass over the' mar
tyr's grave.
Its springtime witnessed the greatest
funeral pageant that ever honored the
dead or graced the living.
It saw a nation, thirty millions stronz
drop scalding tears of sorrow on the tomb
of their slain chief. -
It saw a prqoesson of grief-struck
mourners, two thousand.• miles in length.
It saw the great dead carried : to his
home by a nation in whose funeral train
cities, were. pall bearersonilitary chieftains
the corpse watchers, high civic.furiction
ariefinardians of,bis bier, great imperial
states.staefinciorners, millions of .uncov
-ered,beads -bowed in tearfulgrief; as , the
mighty cortege wound its solemn march
under the sunlight of day arid the torch
light of night,; from the scene of , active
duty, to the quiet rest of an honest man's
grave. " , -
It saw those millions.of a down-trodden
race lifted to the dignities and responsi;
bilitiea of humanity.
It saw • those millions bowed down, and
their_heads bent with grief, sorrowing as
children i feel at a father's grave: •
It saw villages clothed in mourning,,
towns draped in death's ensignia, great
cities ernspended their traffic. the busy
marts of commerce hushed with awe,while
the silence of:loving death covered an
Empire—fit expressions of grief for a
martyr. •
It saw • the dwellings of the rich covered
with costly badges of woe,and the homes
of tile poor draped in the more simple
and eloqent symbols of a people's sorrow.
It heard holy ,ministers of. Christ's
Gospel speak words of peace for the mur
-dered dead, and of comforting condolence
for the living. I
It beard the heart-prayers. of sincere,
- millions for the rest of the departed, and
that his death might not leaie the NatioO
in the utter darkness of desolation.
It heard a nation of mourners chant
aolemn.dirges in accord with organ peals
and the thunder of artilerY, of the passing
body of the nation's martyr.
If reisPectfirl, manifest 'sorrow for the
dead' be any proof of civilizaticM, then did
Sixt,y-five witness a greater and more per
fect.cinlization than any other child of
rather Time.
As the days of Sixty-five rollisd into
weeks and the weeks wheeled into months
the meridian.of the year: saw the.people
of other lands meet in e"
_sorrow for 'th
stricken - Union, heard 'their grief titter
ance,saw their annninted rulers bow their
beads in awe of sorrowing sympathy,
and for once .a of Time saw
"A woad in. tears."
Sixty-five law in the mourned one the
incarnation of freedom•loving, liberty
