spoken, and Was no longer Agnes Park,
but Agnes Fleming. l was the wife of a
widower OF thirty-eight, and the s;epmoiber
of three children! Not the first chosen,
first beloved bride of a young, ardent lover,
such as my girlish dreams had pictured; but
only a second wife.
The reflection was not sweet; never
theless it was the thought with which I;tcok
my seat in the carriage which was to con-

ding tour was ended, and we were "home-
ward bound.' A long ride was yet before
Us, for the village in which Captain Elem.

nearest railway station; but he had ordered
Ibis own carriage to meet Us there, and thus
begau fully to realize that We we're near

The road over which we journeyed was

day-dreams. for Captain Fleming, tired with
the long ride, was half asleep by the side
of his new wife. l was weary of taking
the lead in conversation. and resolved tc

very profitable future, looked for a shor

The Harp of a Thousand Strings.

Come, generous friends, little while,
And listen to my song,
And though my subject is very great,
My story wont be long
I'm going to sing abott the times.
And several other things
Well sing the words and play the tune
On Harp of Thousand Strings.
Religion, Politics, and Law
Are ranging under par,
As seen by microscopic aid,
In pulpit, iormu, bar;
A focus brought on either one,
The same result ttill brings
A human being. playing away
On Harp of Thousadd Strings.
The preachers don't as they used to do,
In the good old days gone by;
They used to preach of tie souls of men,
Till they made the women cry:
But they read their sermons w-a-days-
And the choir strikes up and sings,
And the folks can't join when the tune is playet
On Harp of Thousan 81 rings.
The members don't as they used to do
Their zeal ana loves grown cold;
They're thinking of the corn they've raised.
And how to get more gold
And though the preacher reads quite well,
Their conscience never stings;
They'd rather steal the crown OF gold
And a Hsrp of Thousand Strings.
The politician used to be
= a man cf some renown;
Now, half dozen would be-such
Are found in every town.
For when one finds he can make speech,
Or soar on buzzard's wings.
He mounts a hobby and plays away
On Harpof Thousand Strings.
No mutter now corrupt he is.
How oft he turns his cost,
The nomination sets him right
lie gets the people s vote.
Heeats his fill at the public cnb,
He drinks at the public springs
The charm succeeds-he plays SO well
On Harp OF Thousand Strings.
Then lei us take hasty view
OF Justice and the Bar;
Alas, how quickly we discern,
How altered all things are;
The sword and scales are liiile used,
The culprit seldom swings;
For gold will make the lawyer play
On a Harp of Thousand Strings.
So turn yonr eyes to every part
OF Uncle Sans machine,
You'll find a screw that's working loose
Some place that needs a pin.
But must end my story now,
Although my muse still brings
A verse or two for every chord
On Harp Of Thousand Strings.

" A sad accident occurred on the Bay
