Easter Sundaw *
“a!I tilings ar«c Ini and passive. Earth
Looks as if in tied npqrt §0 Mig’ls lap
Into a b oath loss Sleep: so still
That we cun oiry »d y of things, they
he.”
Yes tliis has been a perfect day.
The sun has dropped below the
mountain. The western skv is now
decked with brilliant sunset clouds,
Yet ever anon I catch a glimmer of
Venus—our star a loved one and I
once culled it. And just one year
ago tonight, we for the last time
hand in hand together watched it
set, My lost one and I one year,
ago watched the stars together
“Anil counted the clouds drifting across
the blue”
And now alone 1 sitjip twilight’s shadow,
lhe South burn bieoy.es came with kiss
es tl.QOt,
And from the rosy rounds of sun set’s
ladder
The eve star flings me greetings golden
sweet.
And yet
“All their dumb dcanty fails to charm
t he spirit:
That lingers spell bound on memory’s
shore;’’
A!i! grief of griefs! that we most still in
herit
Rememberance of things that, are no
more.”
But shine on beautiful star, 1
am thinking now of one far more
beautiful than Hesperus—the S tir
of t cif ofitl I ft n
! lost in the darkness that enshroud
ed Cavalry, and through thee terri
ble days that the orphaned earth
stood bereft, and shuddering with
nought of help or comfort left save
the treasure that la; cold in its
bosom until clear and bright,
the missing star arose above the
sepulcher, high in heaven fadeless j
and unwavering, the center of all j
faith, all hope and peace forever—
that star alone can now be jointly
ours loved one.
Today I read that. Valeria Car
mil ‘‘lias joined the innumerable
carravan gone on before,” Oh!
Death when you “give us a long
lease ot life you take as hostages
all those whom we have loved. ’
Valeria! At the sound of that
dear familiar napie I'rder
unstrung the garnered hours at the
bidding of Mnemosyne. Jlow viv
idly came hack the days spout in
her society seventeen years ago.
Those days were so beautiful, so
bright— •
“Undimmed they were by caro or pain
Or sorrows withering blight,”
They fled away the moonlit waves
upon the oceans shore, and in flee
ing seperated us forever here be
low. I know not Valeria, whether
the bright hopes which then il
lumed vour dark eyes were ever re
alized, or whether they were to you
as the ashen Qshcr apples, bitter to
the last or draughts of tin Bahr
Sheitin, leaving your lips scorched.
Nay. I know not how much joy or
sorrow the intervening years
brought you I only know that eigh
teen months ago the rider ot the
pale horse visited your home and
left you a widow, your children or
phans. And oh Valeria! were it
not for those orphaned ones I would
rejoice to night that you are for
ever free from those lonely heart
aches. I know by sad experience
you every day endured, There too
is the broken-hearted mother
mourning the loss of an onlvdaugh*
ter. x\h I none but her Saviour
can fathom, or heal such grief as
hers,
Father and brothers we truly
sympathise with you; but ever re
member Valerie’s fate is the inevi
table fate of all. Meet it we muot,
prepared or unprepared—if we are

H helpless family, consisting of a

bring suit against the Walker Iron

ages, but at the first term of Dado
,Superior court she was non-suited
and left to the coltl charity of the

can afford to donate thousands of
dollars lo churches out of the State
when the widow of one of his em
plows is on the verge cf starvation
and so worthy as Mrs. Keith wo
fail to sec. We now appeal to him
and every Christian hearted man
in the county for assistance for
