An! yes Ire remember that name with delight,
seek her lone grave in the pale hour of night,
And molsten the turf with tear:
ANA there, when tie heart is o'erburdened with woes
wander and muse all alone =
But long for the time when my head shall repose
"here sweet Alice lies under the Stones
roam through the wood where so joyous we strayed,
ana rechne on the green sunny hill; ~.
All Things are as bright in that beautiful glade
, But my heart is all lonely and chill
Inc hand that so fondly pressed then in mne
And the lips that were melting with love,
AT, ,er c0id IN the grave, and I'm left to repine
I'LL meet with sweet Alice above.
All ! well remember the school-house and brook,
IT., :. And the master so kind and so true p
Inc wllo-oiooming flowers in the cool shady nook,
So fragrant with incense and dew.
But weep not for these, though dear heart,
Nor the friends that have left alone
The bosom will heave and the teardrops will start,
For = sweet Alice lies under the stone
THE FRESHMAN and THE DEACoN-A few months
ago, Deacon Ingalls,. of Swampscot, II. | was
travelling through the Western part of the State of
New York, he fell in with freshman who had
lately arrived in this couRtry and in quest of
brother that came before him and settled in some of
the diggings in that vicinity.
Pat strong athletic man, true Catholic.
and had never the interior of Protestant
church. 1t was Il pleasant Sabbath morning that
brother Ingalls, met Pat, who inquired for the
est road to the church.
Ingalls, was good pious He told Pat he
was going to church himself. and invited his new
made acquaintance to accompany him thther, his
place of destination being a small Methodist meet
ing house near by. There was great revival there
at that time, and one of the deacons, (who by the
way, very small in stature invited brother l.
to take seat in his pew. He accepted the invita-
ton and walked in, followed by Pat who looked in
vain to find the altar. Sc After he was seated he
turned to brother l., and in whisper which could
be heard all around incurred
Sure, and isn't this Il hereto church p
"HuSh,' said Ingalls,, IF you speak a loud word
they will put you OUT
''Divil word will speak at ALL" replied Pat
The meeting opened with prayer by the pas
tor. Pat was cycling him very closely, when pres
emily old gentleman who was standing in the pew
directly in front of Pat shouted glory His-st,
ye clear devil reoined Pat with his loud whisper,
which was heard by the minister, be dacent and
don't make BLACKBOARD of yourself.'
The parsons grew more and more fervent in their
devotons Presently the deacon uttered an inaudi-
bic groan. His-st We BLACKBOARD, have We da-
cency at all at all !"-sad Pat at the same moment
giving the deacon punch in the ribs, which caused
him to lose his equilibrium. The minister stopped,
and extending his hand in suppIicating maner,
said, Brethren, cannot be disturbed in this way
will some one be kind enough toput that man out 2!
| 'Yes. your reverence" shouted Pat. will"
And suiting the action to the word, he collared
the deacon, and to the horror and astonishment of
the pastor, brother Ingalls,, and the whole congre-
cation, he dragged him through the aisle, and with
tremendous kick, p0steriOri, the lOgicians say
he landed him in the vestibule of the church.
