Oh heart, my heart, how strange to yearn MA Tri ovo I With weepings bitter for thy long-lost peace. How strange to find thyself at heaven's door, Where all tears cease. In the fair country where sin enters not, And where abideth everlasting rest, Think you, my soul, your sins shall be forgot, And ye be blest? No more, no more' to hunger there for love; No more to thirst for blessings long ' ' denied, "Thy face is. foul with weeping," but above Thcu shalt be satisfied! What shall it be to feel all fair within! Pure as the angels in the highest heaven? To feel no more temptation, and no sin That (needs to bo forgiven. No more repining?no more vain regret, No longing to lie down and fall asleep; Oh! heart?my heart?how strange when ye forget The way to weep! Oh light divine, that shineth from His face, In the fair country that doth need no ? sun! Oh! happy soul, be thankful that thy ?race Is well-nigh run! Boll, golden sun, roll swiftly toward the West; Dawn, happy day, when many woes shall cease; Come quickly, Lord?Thy people wait ? the rest ' Of Thino abiding peace. ? ? ? m U?ly Greg.?At the Detroit house of correction, a year or so ago, the high white-washed walls of the corridors were furnished with brackets and flower pots, to relieve the monotony and take away , some of the gloom. One would scarcely think that the hard looking, wicked men sent there for robbery, burglary, arson and graver crimes, would have cared for the change, but they gladly welcomed it. A rose, a genarium, or tulip, or pink, seemed to bring liberty and sunshine a little nearer, and to drive the evil out of their hearts; and it was a strange sight to see hardened criminals watering and nourishing the tender plants, and watching their daily growth. Two or three months before the brack? ets were hung up, a prisoner came from one of the Territories?an old, sullen-looking, bad-tempered man, convicted of robbing tho mails. They called him "Greg," as short for Gregory, and it wasn't long before they made it "Ugly Greg." He was ugly. He refused to work, cared nothing for rules and regulations, and twenty-eight days out of his first month were spent in the "solitary" for bad be? havior. He was expostulated with, threatened and punished, but he had a will as hard as iron. He hadn't a friend in the prison, and the knowledge of it seemed to make him more ugly and despe . rate.':'"Vyben the brackets were hung upvthere was, one: to spare, and it-was placed near the door of . Ugly Greg's cell, until another spot could be found. No one had any hope that the old man'tf heart could be softened, and Borne said that he would, dash the flower-pot to the floor. "When ho camo.in from the shop a, hi? face expressed surprise ni sight of the iiitie g^enrvH?-'bud so ,$Q8e to the door of 'his1 cell. Hej scented it, carefully placed it back, and;it was noticed that the hard lines melted out of his face for a time. No one said anything tp him; but ttie next morning, before he parent to work, he carefully watered the rose, and his eyes lost something of their sullen .look. Would you believe that the little rose bush proved more powerful than all the arguments and threats' of the keepers? It did, strangely enough^-As th? days went.by the old man tost his obstinacy and gloominess, and he obeyed orders as Well and hs cheerfaily as the His faco took on a new ? ]fi a\ his > whole 'bearing, chdngodVand the keeper looked'at him and wondered if he could be th? maiflrGrVS&. ?l 'four or ' five months -before. He watched the rose as a mother would watch child, and it came to be understood that it was his. "While some of the other flowers died from want of care, the rose tree grew and thrived and made the old man proud. He carried it into his cell at night and replaced it in the morning, and sometimes he would talk to it as if it were a humau being. Its pre? sence openoci hva. lonesome heart I and planted good there, and from | the day the bracket was hung up, no keeper had the least trouble with Ugly Greg. A few weeks ago he was taken sick, and when he w ent to the hos? pital the rose tree went with him, and was placed where the warm sun could give it the nourishment it needed. After a day or two it was hoped that the old man would get better, but ho kept sinking and grew feebler. So long as his eyes were open ho would watch the rose, and when he slept he seemed to dream of it. One day, when the nurse found an opening bud, he re? joiced as heartily as if his pardon papers had arrived. The bud was larger next day, and the rose could be seen bursting through. The flower pot was placed on his bed, near the old man's pale face, that he might watch the bud blossom into a rose, and he was so quiet that the nurse did not approach him again for hours. The warm spring sun glided in through the bars and kissed the opening bud, and then fell off in showers over the old man's pale face, erasing every line of guilt and ugliness that had ever been raised. At noon, the nurse saw that the rose bad blossomed, and she whis? pered in tho old man's car.* "Greg, the rose has blossomed?wake up." He did not move. She felt his cheek and it was cold. Ugly Greg was dead. One hand vested under his gray locks, while tho other clasped tho flower-pot, and the new-born rose bent down until it almost touched his cold face. His life bad gone out just when his weeks of weary watching for a blossom were to be repaid; but the rose tree's mission was accom? plished. A Shanghai, eating corn, takes a peck every time.
