With noiseless stop olofo to his side she crept, And softly smiled, as though she bad no " fears. Great, bursting sobs convulsed the bendinp form; It seemed as though the soro-hurt boarl tauet break, So bruised and shaken wns it by the storm, Whose rublc?s thirst bis tears michl ' never shake.

The la?t words of" the dyiug are cngcr ^-"fought after, and enshrined in morn ory'o bosom, by loved ones. The hero, standing upon the field of battle, atuid the booming of cannon aud tho ruttlo of rnasketry, is stricken down, and dying ho utters some sentiment, which tells the-living he fought bravely nnd died loving his country. His words thus uttered nro chanted in hip praiso^iiis?rJ immedi||^^^^? lultM'P(1 ' Prc handed d,wn irom S0,,cr i 'ration^ jending ovor the couch of her dying child, eagerly listens for its last word.

Ah ! he is waiting, and listening, for the lust whisper. Ab sho (?peaks, her words echo ahd re echo through che chamber of his soul, and remain there throughout the mystic future. As a young lady reads over tho list of slain in battle, and hor weep'tig rest upon the name of her lover, almost her first thought is, "Did ho leave mo a dying message" The sweet sister of a shipwrocked brother impatiently awaits the arrival of oomc one rescued from the wreck, to learn if hor brother, as he was swopt beneath'' the dark waves, scut her a dying'word.
