TOO LATE.
? They strewed flowers so thick above hi* crave There was not room for more:	!
Unstinted were the words of praise they pave, And-m*nv wept him aore-
Yet he had lived among them many year*.
Nor had be ever known _ The ofi-dc5ireti sympathy of tear*,
Or the inspiring tone.
They had been very quick to not* the flaw*
That marred his dally life Alas! they seldom Fought to know the cause.
Or aid him in hts strife.
What did it matter that he uightly crievod
O	er faults that yet were strong?
* ; Or that against RTeat oddb he ?tUl believed In right* instead oi ?fcront:!
?i
k Vhaf "though he hungered for acme word of pr?l?e'-	--
And longed for loving smile*?	r
Unhelpcd they let him climb life r steepest ways, *	,
I And grope through weary<nile*.
But when his ears were deaf, and Wind hi? eye*.
Then did they speak him fair'
Pid aU their wakened kintUiess could deris?. And left love?s tribute there.
OfrJenAs. If in your heart? there is to-day Some little love for mr.
Wait hot to speak it o*er my ?ofllned clay,
Whpn I Khali heedless be
Give me while living of the lore J crave.
And if yc must condemn.
Speak your harth censures o'er my open grave. When I am dead to them. .	1
I shall not ne^d your praises then, but now j Even a tender touch Although I may not know just why or how,
H*th power t-o help so much.
Bury me If you will io poor estate.
I shall not count it wrong.
But civ** me love in lif*. nor l^t me wnit Jn loneliness so loni?
?Robert Wit taker, in N. V. Evangelist.
