MEMORIES STIRRED BY THE SIGHT OF FLOW
ERs FROM AN OLD HOME

FROM RRAsERs MAGAZINE. 4
Sacred to me, ye precious Apwers,
Sacred ye are
FOR ye nave boomed in that home OF ours,
That home afar
Where in the freshness Of childhood's hours
We used to dwell;
fe have been plucked from those leafy bowers
we loved SO well
And ye bring back the mem'rie of other times
Like the music Of aforementioned chimes.
Memories ye bring of bright days departed
When children, we,
ui OF gay hope and summer hearted,
Deemed life to be
A world, wherein wish was hwarted.
How false the thought,
Inc Pangs meath which we since have smarted
loo soon have taught;
For each year hath swept by with an autumn blast
Bearing fallen hopes to the buried past
Others now dwell in that cherished place
Strange footsteps tread
Inc selsame paths where, in sportive chase
so oft we We sped
Yet OF our presence remains no trace
NO single one;
The flowers laugh on in their cleaning grace,
though we are gone;
And no memory burdens the joyous wind
VI the thousand sighs we left behind.
They have changed and new-modelled the aspect old
vi that loved spot;
They have made it better and fairer, / mi told
should love it not.
Oh, dearer to me ten thousand-fold
Its unaered face
And better to see it deserted and cold,
silent place;
Where would every stone and every weed
Have a tale to tell and cause to plead.
Where each would with touching voice recall
Some bygone sport
TeemiDg with thousand memories all
OF joyous sort
Of some gleesome game Of hoop or ball,
Some playful strife,
Now laid aside for the sterner thrall
OF earnest life;
Whilst others reap the smiles and flowers,
Which once we deemed so fondly ours
And he before whose glance of light
Pale Sorrow fled,
Whose soul was the home of all things bright n.
Sleeps with the dead.
How many eyes did the welcome sight
OF his smile rejoice!
How many hearts listened with fond delight
To his kindly voice
II is hushed and those hearts beat as light as the wave
Of the grass that grows over his silent grave.
All, this is the bitter and desolate thought
Deaths chiefest wo,
To feel how we are deemed as nought,
When laid below;
Forgotten by those who our presence sought
With loving hearts,
When in this pageant of honors bought
We bore our parts.
We die, and the tide of lifes busy scene
Rolls onward as though we had never been

 Parsons wits began to turn--he could hardly believe his senses. He walked, he ran until ou, of breath, 10 the jail, and there was Lovett, with the patch upon his boot as before.
 Parsons was taken Ill. and continued so for several days, and Booth resorted to ano- ther siratsgem to recover him. He feigned illness and death, and having made an ar- rangement with friend, at his lodgings, he was taken from the jail in coffin, bored with holes, which allowed him to breathe and conveyed from the jail-which satisfied Parsons that he was effectually rid Of "Lovetg.'
