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.

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.
