All this was the work of a moment, and when the
group left, Emily and Bertford parted as though
they had been but the chance companions of few
moments
1t was now an easy thing for Bertford to sit down
in his room ut his hotel, and write the language Of
his heart-to mourn that SO trivial thing Us diff

have led to discussion which ended in the mutual
threat "See who'll speak first"

taken tenderer name, and three yaars of pliehted

had suffered, they mutually confessed and what a
hollow happiness that is which rings out laughter
while the spirit is pining for something far removed

had become familiar in the circle of Emiys friends.
An emergency in business prevented the friend,
with whom she was to return home, from leaving
at the time she desired and Bcrtord took charge Of
her safety homeward.
Never were the lovely elms of New England dress
ed in such luxurance of foliage as when Bertford
rode through them with Emily to her home. Both
had left Boston and its ncighborhood, and knew
nothing OF each other. Each had heard that tho
other was dead, but believed it not; and now as
the coach stops Nt fine mansion, where the tall
trees give beautiful shade they think of their first
meeting in the omnibus, when he was the first to
speak, Come in, come in" which she now returned
most heartily as they enter the house.

Mrs. Bertford, there is piece of exquisite glass

OH! BURY ME IN THE WILD WOODS,

OH DURI ME in lHE WILD NOODO,
Oh bury me in the wild woods,
Where the birds unfettered sing,
And where in rich luxuriance,
The unframed flowers spring.
There let me sleep in silence
By the blue streams ripping tide,
Whose bright and sparkling waters,
In circling wavelets glide.
Then make me soft and grassy grave;
Afar from the busy throng,
Where naught is heard but the murmuring wave
And the gush of the wild birds song
Where the orient beams of morning,
May rest first upon my bed,
And where the willows weeping shadow
Bends above my sleeping head
Where the twilight shades fall soonest
And the bright stars first appear,
As cleaning through the forest,
They shine so pure and clear.
Where the winds may sing requiem,
In the lonely autumn hours
When bending with the rain drops,
Droop low the summer flowers.
And even there in winter
The snow shall softly fall
And cover DER my resting place,
With pure white funeral pail
Then would sleep in the wild wood,
Alone, but not forgot
For know kind feet will often stray
TO that green and lonely spot.

cxerted could be brought to bear on one point it
would be sufficient to jostle the earth out of its

If all the oaths uttered in the United States were
required to be printed, it would require all the
presses III the country, day and night to perform
the labor; and If q tax was levied on them of ono

his watch is right. They hurried the train; the
agents watch is out of order. He feels as il
there had been conspiracy to delude and vex
him. He is positively fie,ted ; he blames every
body except himself, and he only is to blame.
Good humor may be restored, as he refects-it
cannot be helped must just take the next train.
But very great and permanent evils may result.
He has learned lesson. and will be in time to-
morrow Let us moralize on this very usual
event
|. There has been an error. His watch was
wrong, after all. He neglected to set it by the
true standard Men fail of success because they
adopt wrong principles. They fail to become
pious people Of God because they will not con-
suit their standard They blame the Bible, the
church, the ministry; anything, anybody, every
hing, everybody, rather than self.
Q. Our sincere belief that we are right will not
save US. God has certain, fixed and imnr.tablc
and holy law. If we follow its teachings, we
shall grow wiser and better; but if we follow our
own notions, he makes no provision for our faults;
we are just left to suffer.

favor. When the Spirit strives and calls, and the
word is sinking into our hearts, in the accepted
time and the day of salvation, we should be ready.

answer-that we shall not be too late "a nd ere
we are aware, the accepted hour passes away un-
improved, and when we call, he will not answer.
A. And here the illustration fails. There will
be no other train for the finally impenitent. THE
negligent traveller can go tomorrow, but alas for
the negligent sinner! his tomorrow may never
come Home and Foreign Record.
