They entered the room together, aud the three girls were all at home sitting beside their mother, and they looked prim and de- mure as John Rogers at the stake. Our hero assumed a very grave aspect, even to dejection, and having looked wist- fully at the clock, breathed a sigh as deep as Algelna, and as long as a female dia- logue at a street door. His singular de- portment now attracted the attention of the girls, who cast their slow opening eyes up to his countenance.

My mother's voice ! how often creeps Its cadence on my lonely hours 1 Like healings sent on the wings of sleep, Or dew on the unconscious flowers. I might forgot her melting prayer While pleasure's pulses madly fly ; But in the still, unbroken air, Her gentle tones eome stealing by— And years of sin and manhood floe, And leave me at my mother's knee. Tho book of naturo and the print Of beauty on the whispering sea, Givo still to me some lineament Of what I have been taught to be. My heart is harder, and perhaps My manliness has drunk up tears, And there's a mildew in tho lapse Of a few miserable years; But nature's book is even yet, With all my mother's lessons writ. I have been out at even tide, Beneath a moonlight sky of spring, . When earth was garnished like a bride, And night had on her silver wing— When bursting blood and growing grass, And waters leaping to the light, And all that make the pulses pass With wilder fleelness, thronged Ihe night; When all was beauty, then have I, With friends on whom my love is flung, Like myrrh on wings of Araby, Gazed up where evening's lamp is hung. And when the beauteous spirit thero Flung overall its golden chain, My molhei's voice came on tho air, Like the light dropping of the rain, And resting on some silver star, The spirit of a bonded knee, I've poured a deep and fervent prayer That our eternity might be To rise in heaven like stars at night, And tread a living path of lijrlu.
