THE LITTLE BOY THAT DIED . I am all alone in my chamber now , And the midnight hour is near , And the fagot's crack , and the clock ' s dull tick , Are the only sounds I hear . And over my soul , in it ' s solitude , Sweet feelings of sadness glide ; For my heart and my eyes are full , when I think Ofthe little boy that died .

I went one night to my father's house—Went home to the dear ones all ,-And softly I opened the garden gate , And softly the door of the hall . My mother came out to meet her son , She kissed me , and then she sighed , And her head fell on my nock , and she wept For the little hoy that died .

And when I gazed on his innocent face , As still and cold he lay , Ancl thought what a lovely child he had been , And how soon he must decay ; " Oh , death ! thou lovest the beautiful , " In the woe of my spirit , I cried , For sparkled the eyes , and the forehead was fair , Of the little boj that died .

Again I will go to my father's house—Go home to the dear ones all , And sadly I'll open the garden gate , And sadly the door or the hall . I shall meet mj * mother , but never more With her darling by her side ; But she'll kiss me , and sigh , ancl weep again , For the little boy that died .

I shall miss him when the flowers come In the garden where he played ; I shall miss him more by the fireside , When the flowers have decayed . I shall see his toys and his empty chair , Ancl the horse that he used to ride ; And they will speak , with a silent speech , Of the little boy that died .

Poetry.

I shall see his little sister again With her playmates about the door , And I'll watch the children in their sports , As I never did before . And if in the group I see a child That ' s dimpled and laughing eyed , I'll look to see if that may not be The little boy that died .

We shall all go home to our Father's house—To our Father ' s house in the skies , Where the hope of our soul will have no blight , And our love no broken ties . We shall roam on the banks of the River of Peace , And bathe in its blissful tide , And one of the joys of Heaven shall he

The little boy that died . And , therefore , when I am sitting alone , And the midnight hour is near , When the fagot ' s crack and the clock ' s dull tick Are the only sounds I hear ; Oh ! sweet o ' er my soul in its solitude Are the feelings of sadness that glide ;

For my heart and my eyes are full when I think Of the little boy that died . BEO . JOSHUA . EOBIX ' SO } - .

BY TIIE LATE BEO . JOHN TATLOE , ilf . D . Vain mortal ! though the smile of nature brings To'thee no pleasure ; still in every face , In every flow'ret in tho vale that springs , In every little warbler there that sings God's rnighty hands you trace . And would ' stthou other songs than nature ' ssong ,

Swelling in thousand notes among the trees ? Go , join the heartless , despicable throng , From infamy to crime who sweep along , And dweli with these . For me , though broken-hearted , I could find One pleasure in his broken mountain peak , Leaving earth ' s grovelling hopes and fears behind

, And borne on fancy's wing , the immortal mind With God can spealc . Heaven's wildest notes have music to my ear ; The ruling tempest , and the roaring sea , The fierj * lightning darting through the sphere , The thundering voice , that others trembling hear , Have charms forme .

PRO . A . H . S . BOILEAU , PROF . G . M . OF BENGAL . We have the melancholy duty to announce the death , since our last issue , of Major-General A . H . E . Boilean , the Provincial Grand Master of Bengal . The event was as sudden as it is sad and deplorable . The abrupt and laconic telegraphic notice— "The Provincial Grand Master died at Cawnpore on the 30 th June" —was preceded bj * no intimation of illness , and fell

upon the elders ofthe Craft in the Presidency . with the crushing force of a disorganising catastrophe . It was not till the day after this afflicting intelligence reached Calcutta , that a letter was received by the Deputy Provincial Grand Master from the W . M . of the Cawnpore Lodge , hearing an earlier date than the telegram , stating that our late Provincial Grand Master was then suffering very severely from diarrhoea and dysentery . The disorder seemed to have increased upon him with great idity

rap , and within a few short hours ruthlessly completed its work of destruction , ancl deprived Masonry of the ruler of this province . There are circumstances connected with this event which suggest a variety of peculiarly painful considerations . The very brief tenure of his high office , during which he had never had an opportunity of being received ancl greeted as we certainly should have greeted him , in his own Provincial Grand Lodge , as
