THE COTTAGE.


The applesare ripe in the orchard,
The work of the reaper is done,
And the golden woodlands redden
In the blood of the dying sun.
AT the cottage-door the grandsire
Sits pale In his easy chair;
While the gentle wind of the twilight
Plays with his silver hair.
A woman is kneeIipg beside him
Affair young form is pressed,
In the first wild passion of sorrow,
Againa his aged breast. Iiat
And far fromIoyeE the distance
The fostering echoes come ffltt
OF the flying blast of trumpet
And the rafting roll of drum.
Then the grandsire speaks in whisper
The end no man can see5 ites
But we give him to his country,
And we give our prayers to Thee.
The violets star in the meadows;
The rose buds fringe the door;
tzkhd OVER the grassy orchard
The pink-white blossoms pour.
But the grandsire's chair is empty,
The cottage is dark and still; -,
There's a nameless grave on tne psitIie-neA'
And a new one under the NH!
uAnd a paid, fearless woman
By the cold hearth sits alone,
vsfAndl the old clock in the corner
m Ticks on with a steady drone- s's't 20

casion to draw some logs, and yoked
up his four oxen for the purpose.
By great exertion he succeeded In

see how we'll converted he would
prove to be, and who had no scruples
