immemorial by the Highland Chiefs
and their clans; each clan having a
plaid Of different pattern to distinguish
it from the rest. The clan system OF
living, of course, is done away with;

this mode of dress. The costume
of th. Highlanders certainly presents

Open my bed room door;
heard her step, as noiselessiyr
To my couch across the floor;

Her lips just touch ing mine,
And in my anguish and distress
e,Twere sinful to repine.
Our pilgrimage is nearly through,
We've passed life's mountain brow;

Her face was lowering over mine,
Her warm tears on my cheek;
Her whispered prayer of thought divine
Rose fervently, but meek.
Her bosom rested on my arm,
| felt its trembling throe;
knew the cause OF its alarm,
} And felt its source of woe.
And then the blood my system through
Came pressing on my brow:

Thus watched that tirod and patient one,
By night as well as we'll as day,
In sadness. and almost alone,
TIL weeks had passed away;
B ereft Of sleep-deprived of rest
( Oppressed--borne down with care
Till, oh her labors have been blest,
For God hath heard her prayer;

And placid is her brow,

TWENTY YEARS AGO
How wonderous are the changes, Jim.
Since twenty yearsago,
When GALS wore wooien dresses, Jim,
And BOYS wore pants of tow;
When shoes were made Of calf-skin,
And socks of home-spun wool;
And children did half-day's work,
Before the hour Of school.
'''
The girls took music lessons, Jim,
Upon the spinning wheel,
And 'practiced" late and early,J Jim,
/ On spindle, swift and reel.
The bows would ride bareback" to mill,
A dozen mi es or so.
And harry eff before twas day
Some twenty years ago.
Then people rode to meeting, Jim,
z In sleds instead ofsleighs,
And wagons rode as easy, jim,
As buggies now-a-days;
And o.ens answered well for teams
Though now they'd be too slow:
For people lived not half 50 fast
Some twenty years ago.
