In Memoriam. - Miss Catharine Ball,

Daughter of Hon. Judge BALL of Hoosick Falls, N.Y., died at the City of Washington, 1862.     Bright sunbeam of a father's heart         Whose earliest radiance shone     Delightful o'er a mother's eye     Like morning-star in cloudless sky,         Say, whither hast thou flown?     Fair inmate of a happy home         Whose love so gently shed     Could a serene enchantment make     And love in stranger bosoms wake,         Ah, whither art thou fled?     They know, who trust the Saviour's word         With faith no tear can dim,     That such as bear His spirit here     And do His will in duty's sphere         Shall rise to dwell with Him.     They know, who feel an Angel near,         Though hid from mortal sight     And reaching out to her their hand     Shall safer reach that Pleasant Land         Whose buds no blast can blight.     Even I, who but with fleeting glance         Beheld thee here below,     From its remembered sweetness gain     New impulse toward that heavenly train     Whose harps in never-ceasing strain         With God's high praises glow.
