"Twas brimming full of brooks and ’ fields, s And all the joy the amity yields, But soon the writer’s lids would fall, And then would come a straggling scrawl, “Goodnight—I’m tired.” Dear little one !—so thoughtful she Toshare her pleasures pure and sweet, To make each day, so glad to her, In wider blessing more complete. What though the weary pen would lay, And sleepy thoughts at snail’s pace drag ? Until she could no longer write, She spared the crooked words, “Good- night, Goodnight —I’m tired.” To higher use called, And when the Sweet Heart ! She passed from us. sun Was setting of her little day, And heaven’s dawning had begun, In restful peace she turned her eyes To the blue fleece-besprinkled skies, And whispered, as she passed away, “It has been such a happy day ! Goodnight—I’m tired.” Harper’s Bazar. IN NORTH ‘CAROLINA. e * =e “ Matters of Interest Over the State.
