CHARADE.
She wearily looked'at my second, i ' Atid yearned for thfr morning light,' - For she knW that tbje'fever crisis ! i;i -Would pass with.the paseing.night. ; The stillness was aU unbroken, Save by- the infant's moan; , Or by the dead ashes falling One by one on the echoing stone. What sounds ? 'tis my first and second, That makes her cheeks turn pale ; She has heard of ita dread And her heart and her courage both fail. She needed no look at'her darling, ; ' \ She knew that my first had come ; And c'en while she kept my SECOND, An angel had taken him home.
