DEATH OF A WIFE.
BY MRS. I/i'DJA H. SIGOUBNEV. When from the winter hearth is borne away The sole, presiding spirit — when the voice That pour'd the.soul of kindne&3 o'er its home, Making it beautiful, is hush'd and mute As the fallen song.-bird — -when the summer hatinta Of bower and garden, wilh their clustering sweet 3, It ire, cherish'd plants, and flowers of every die, And graceful vines, that round the burdened prop Weave their fantastic cotonals, and ask Some hand their rich luxuriance to restrain, Must share no more her ministry, who lov'd Nature, and Nature's God — who can impart to him, who in each household scene Feels heart bewildering vacancy, and mourns In loneliness of grief ? What, but the thought That she, who was the solace of his days, Hath gone to be an angel and doth await Beckoning for him, and gently urge his steps To the blest pathway of Eternal Life.
