NEWSPAPER VERSE.

A VOICE FROM THE MINE. (" The Lord preserve us;. We are all trusting in Christ.") Not with a curse upon their lips, Not with a coward's whine, Manful they met life's dread eclipse— Six heroes of the mine. i No cheer was theirs, no trumpet note, To nerve them to the strife, .Who on Death's very portals wrote The shining words of Life. If English hearts are sad to-day, Yet English heads are high, That England's sons still know the way, Like England's sons to die. —W. Gilchrist Wilson. Spectator.
