THE LAS* 0* THE. FAMILY. fS|*f AGGIE was twenty and two years old, heart was cheerful and brave and strong; (9MO u ugut wrOn'u 6j63 tuot Street StOaSS tvlu| And a voice as gay as a pleasant song: Yet Maggie was left in the world alone, With six dear names on a churchyard stone. She often told me about her dead, With chastened voice, but unclouded brow. As though from some holy book she read. Whose writer had grown more holy now: Yet her laugh rang out in our girlish mirth As if there wss not a grave on Q°-t* We parted last on a summer's night. Under a sky like a golden sea. And as she gazed on the glorious sight, She softly said: “ What must Heaven be I" I think that the angels heard her sigh. For her morning brightened beyond the sky. She'd worn her cross as it were a crown. And lo i a crown did her cross become: For none to leave in our little town Was none to miss in her heavenly home— A perfect household before the Throne, And seven names on the churchyard stone. —Sunday Magazine.
