THE LITTLE BOY THAT DIED . I am all alone in my chamber now , And the midnight hour is near , And the fagot's crack , and the clock ' s dull tick , Are the only sounds I hear . And over my soul , in it ' s solitude , Sweet feelings of sadness glide ; For my heart and my eyes are full , when I think Ofthe little boy that died .
I went one night to my father's house—Went home to the dear ones all ,-And softly I opened the garden gate , And softly the door of the hall . My mother came out to meet her son , She kissed me , and then she sighed , And her head fell on my nock , and she wept For the little hoy that died .
And when I gazed on his innocent face , As still and cold he lay , Ancl thought what a lovely child he had been , And how soon he must decay ; " Oh , death ! thou lovest the beautiful , " In the woe of my spirit , I cried , For sparkled the eyes , and the forehead was fair , Of the little boj that died .
Again I will go to my father's house—Go home to the dear ones all , And sadly I'll open the garden gate , And sadly the door or the hall . I shall meet mj * mother , but never more With her darling by her side ; But she'll kiss me , and sigh , ancl weep again , For the little boy that died .
I shall miss him when the flowers come In the garden where he played ; I shall miss him more by the fireside , When the flowers have decayed . I shall see his toys and his empty chair , Ancl the horse that he used to ride ; And they will speak , with a silent speech , Of the little boy that died .
Poetry.
I shall see his little sister again With her playmates about the door , And I'll watch the children in their sports , As I never did before . And if in the group I see a child That ' s dimpled and laughing eyed , I'll look to see if that may not be The little boy that died .
We shall all go home to our Father's house—To our Father ' s house in the skies , Where the hope of our soul will have no blight , And our love no broken ties . We shall roam on the banks of the River of Peace , And bathe in its blissful tide , And one of the joys of Heaven shall he
The little boy that died . And , therefore , when I am sitting alone , And the midnight hour is near , When the fagot ' s crack and the clock ' s dull tick Are the only sounds I hear ; Oh ! sweet o ' er my soul in its solitude Are the feelings of sadness that glide ;
For my heart and my eyes are full when I think Of the little boy that died . BEO . JOSHUA . EOBIX ' SO } - .

TO A YOUNG MASON WHO DECLARED HE SAW NO BEAUTY IN NATURE .
BY TIIE LATE BEO . JOHN TATLOE , ilf . D . Vain mortal ! though the smile of nature brings To'thee no pleasure ; still in every face , In every flow'ret in tho vale that springs , In every little warbler there that sings God's rnighty hands you trace . And would ' stthou other songs than nature ' ssong ,
Swelling in thousand notes among the trees ? Go , join the heartless , despicable throng , From infamy to crime who sweep along , And dweli with these . For me , though broken-hearted , I could find One pleasure in his broken mountain peak , Leaving earth ' s grovelling hopes and fears behind
, And borne on fancy's wing , the immortal mind With God can spealc . Heaven's wildest notes have music to my ear ; The ruling tempest , and the roaring sea , The fierj * lightning darting through the sphere , The thundering voice , that others trembling hear , Have charms forme .
