[WHITTEN FOK THE SUNDAY lIUBTI.EK OF ROME] Tiead noftly ; this is sacred ground ! A treasure lies beneath that mound— A ehear sh casket, passing fair, Robbed of its gem is sleeping there. Bring here thy sweetest tribute, spring! Here let thy sweetest wsrblers ring ! And here thy brightest flower bloom, For this is sweet Alice’s tomb. Here let thy blandest zephyrs blow, Soft as a gentle streamlet’s flow; Here let thy silve r y clou Hets weep, Thy brightest stars 1 med vigil keep. Sweet Alice! fair and fragil too, Has passed away like rarely dew; Has passed from a husbands loving care, Gone to her home so bright and fair. The rose bud lips, w-eathed with a smile, That never uttered wsrds of guile, Has passed from a husband's fond kiss. And his thrilling words of idiss! More lonely is that radiant brow ; A crown of glory wreither it now; The hands that played with earthly toys, Now sweep a harp to noble joys! Peaceful be thy dreamless sleep; Angela o’err thee vigil keep; Well we know thou livest again where no troubleracles the brain. —Minnie Lee Arnold. “By request ’ CHRISTMAS .

Soft nestled, like a snow-white dove, among the scented hay; And Io! through him was given Our song to Earth and Heaven, The song to worlds together sing upon a Christ' mas day. “Glory to God! Hood will to men ! O listenl wake it once again ! Peace upon Earth! Good will to men!” They sing it, those who sang it first, The angles strong aud high ; They sing, ia shiuniag white, the saints, who died long years goue by, And all the fluttering cherub throng, The children of the sky; They sing, the patient, waiting s > uls who still Faith’s conflicts know, They sing. Life’s happy innocents, There faces all aglow; One melody fills Heaven above And floats from Earth below, The song of that sweet stranger, Who, in the cattle’s manger Lay, nineteen hundred years ago among the scented hay! A'l sin and wrong forgiven, Earth seems close kin of Heaven, And sweet two worlds together sing upon a Christmas day! —Marian Douglas. Euglish information about our authors is something marvelous.
