THE NEGLECTED. 
Evening— mild, beautiful, tranquil evening, came 
softly treading in the footsteps of departing day, 
and in her train rosy twilight—blushing with the 
sunbeam’s parting kiss—and bright stars looking 
sweetly down on earth, and moonlight robed in 
silvery garb, all to lend enchantment to the night., 
From among the leaf-clad vines that clambered 
over the trellis a little child looked ont npon the 
fairy scene. How softly had she knelt npon the 
arbor seat and folded those little bands while the 
breeze, sporting with the straying tresses, had flung 
the golden locks hack from her fair brow. How 
wondrous the light in those dark eyes, and yet a 
seeming sadness mingled with that light such as 
made you think the tear-drop lurked behind the 
MAIDEN LADIES. 
It is a fact worth remembering, that the maiden 
lady is not an invention of these times. There 
were unmarried women long ago, before civiliza¬ 
tion had made such fatal progress. While all the 
heroines in all the novels were still married at 
eighteen—before the life of Charlotte Bronte had 
even begun, or there was a woman in existence

1 HE GIYETH HIS BELOVED SLEEP.” 
BT HATH CAMERON. 
No more to toil with aching heart, 
No more to view fond hopes depart, 
No more to sigh o’er pleasures (led, 
No more to mourn above the dead. 
No more to watch, no more to weep, 
“He giveth His beloved sleep.” 
Ah! blessed slumber it e’or brings 
Healing and strength upon its wings; 
Atones for the rough, toilsome way, 
Which we have trod thro’ the Jong day, 
Takes us as pilgrims to that home 
From which we never more can roam.
