A Voice from Heaven. The trusted and the true, You're walking still in the vale of tears, But I wait to welcome you. I shine in the light of God, His image stamps my brow ; Do I forget ? Oh, no. ^Through the shadows of death my feet have For memory's golden chain trod, Shall bind my heart to the hearts below, And I reign in glory now. Till they meet and touch again ; TTo breaking heart is here, Each link is strong and bright, No keen and thrilling pain, While love's electric flame No wasted cheek where the burning tear Flows freely down, like a river of light, Hath rolled, and left its stain. To the world from whence I came. I have found the joys of heaven, Do you mourn when another star I am one of the angel band : Shines out from the glorious sky ? To my head a crown is given, Do you weep when the voice of war And a harp is in my hand : And the rage of conflict aie ? I have learned the song they sing, Why, then, should your tears roll down. Whom Jesus hath made free, Or your heart be sorely riven, And the glorious walls of heaven still ring For another gem in the Savior's crown, With my new-born melody. And another soul in heaven. ! No sin, no grief, no pain— Safe in my happy home ; My fears all fled, my doubts all slain, Copies of this paper may be had at My hour of triumph come ; Oh, friend* of my mortal years !

A Story of Faith. Together we knelt on the stairway As humbly I asked the Great Power A rustle of robes as the anthem To give back her health to her mother, Soared gently away on the air— And banish bereavement's dark hour. The Sabbath morn's service was over, I finished the simple petition, And briskly I stepped down the stair ; And paused for a moment—and then When, close in a half-illum'd corner. A sweet little voice at my elbow Where the tall pulpit's stairway came down, Lisped softly a gentle "' Amen !" Asleep crouched a tender, wee maiden, With hair like a shadowy crown. Hand in hand we turned our steps homeward ; Quite puzzled was I by the vision, The little maid's tongue knew no rest; But gently to wake her I spoke, She prattled and mimicked and carolled— When, at the first word, the sweet damsel The shadow was gone from her breast; With one little gasp straight awoke. And lo ! when we reached the fair dwelling— "What brought you here, fair little angel?" The nest of my golden-haired waif, She answered with a voice like a bell; We found that the dearly loved mother " I turn tos I've dot a sick mamma, Was past the dread crisis—was safe. And I want oo' to please pray her well." "Who told you?" began I; she stopped me ; They listened amazed at my story, " Don't nobody told me at all; And wept o'er their darling's strange quest, And papa can't see, tos he's cryin'; While the arms of the pale, loving mother And 'aides, sir, I isn't so small; Drew the brave little head to her breast. I'se been here before with my mamma— With eyes that were brimming and grateful We tummed when you ringed the big bell— They thanked me again and again And ev'ry time I'se heard you prayin' Yet I know in my heart that the blessing For lots o' sick folks to dit well."
