One sheltered one;Or one in sickness eased, or helped to rest ? And have we ever filled the fading space Twixt us and HomeWith any thought, as still our way we traced. How far wed come ?Or whence refreshed we were, as on we paced Along the toil-worn road ? And did we mark The flowering hedgerows.And the fresh, sparkling streams that crossed our path ? Or did we launchIn sea of dreams, all tempest tossed, our barque, And wake to find it vanished into foam,— Like bubbles—chasedAs they were worlds—in fleeting brightness gone ! Our hopes, but basedOn shore of sand—we, stranded and alone. Ah! wlren we from the mountain top look down Through wayward mists.Ere the hours darken, and the waning noon Blinds our fair tryst.May we discern our path !—Methinks a crown Once won, left bleeding footmarks that same way. To guide us on.Though feeble wills, and stumbling feet may stray, There is a strong.Broad eagle wing of Faith can bear awayOer highest hilis, or deepest seas, each one. H. R.

Andyet she was in duty bound to appear delighted at the prospect of hiscompany. It was settled they should star
