WHAT SHALL PERISH F 
What shall perish ? Plants that flourish. 
Blossoms steeped in dewy tears, 
Rushes that the brooklets cherish, 
Oaks that brave a thousand years. 
What shall perish ? Thrones must crumble— 
Centuries wieck the proudest walls, 
And the heedless travelers stumble 
O’er the Caesars’ ruined halls. 
What shall perish ? Man, the glory 
Of this sublunary spot. 
Like an oft repeated story, 
Shall be buried and forgot. 
What shall perish ? In their course 
Stars mu.st fall, and earth decay, 
And old ocean’s mightiest forces 
Like a bubble fleet away. 
All shall perish, but their Maker, 
While the soul that trusts his grace. 
Of his strength shall be partaker, 
And in heaven behold his face.

But “ from out the cloud there gleams a star I” 
“ The Lord giveth aud He taketh away I” He, 
whohas taken the little one, does not forget the 
mother in her sorrow, and his spirit is over her 
to soothe and to comfort. The voice of Divine 
Love, beside which man is so small, opens the 
mother’s eyes to reason—her mind turns heaven¬ 
ward. Her child was called early from this 
life, ere the worm had marred its beauty. It 
was forever removed from sin and temptation 
and sorrow, and was carried to regions as pure 
as its own guileless heart, where angels chant 
their symphonies to a child-loving God. Her 
mind yields to such thoughts as these, and her 
tumultuous feelings are calmed. She bows 
with meek resignation to the will of a Higher 
Bower, and she performs her duties with a 
humbler spirit than before, patiently awaiting 
the time when she can join her child in Heaven.
