TIE COUNTRY CHURcH.-We clip the
following tit bit of sentiment from the
Lockport Daily Union. It brings olden
memories back
We have been to the country church
that was old when we were young. 1t Is
neither costly nor grand. but rude and
homely, with moss growing about the
caves, where a pair of swallows built
their nests in the summer that is dead.
There are no lofty marble pillars near the
porch. nor tesselated doors, nor has 1t
skiliul architecture but there it stands. a
plain old building, hallowed relic of 9th
er days. 1t has no gallery. where the
bred musicians let fall the liquid tones OF
sound.
nNor deeptoned organ blow, nor eensur swunes
Nor dim light streaming through pictured pane"
But still we like the old church. 1t
brings back TO us the dsisied slopes OF
childhood, the joyous auticipations Of the
future. and the golden CLEANS OF gladness
that hover around the steps of youth.
We hear echoing through memory's cor
ridor the holy words falling from the pale
browed man whose guileless teachings
sank deep into our hearts. We have lis
tened since then to the sermons of the
great, rhetorically rounded, and brilliant
metaphors, and poetic imagery, and
flights Of fancy; but their high.toned
beauty has failed to touch our hearts as
did the simple eloquence Of the minister
in the old church.
There, too, Is the graveyard where
sleep in dust the ashes of those who
were so dear to US 10 life, and whose
memories come to us with the rise Of sun
and the pale light of stars. There rest
the com panious of our schoolboy days,
and our youthful sports. And there, too,
she lies who roamed hand in hand with US
about the valley, who plucked with US the
wild flowers beside the brook, who saw
with the appreciative eye the Violets
blooming on the robe of May, and wepi
with us happy tears at the glory and gor-
geousness of summer sunsets. For eleven
years she has listened to the harp notes Of
the angels. Still We love to linger beside
her grave near the old church, and fancy
that the mild breathing of the evening ali
is caused by the rustling of an angels
wings. Do not blame us for loving the
old church, for memories are ours, pure
and holy as the dreams of dying saint
when we sit in the shadow of its walls.

life has passed its meridian, thus eloquent
ly discourses upon the speedy fight oi

Forty years once seemed = long ano

are broken shrines. where . thousand
hopes have wasted into ashes; footprints
sacred under their drifting dusi, green
mounds, where the grass is fresh With The
watering Of tears: shadows even n
which se should not forget We Sih

with chaslened steps and hope push on
toward the twilight where the waters are
still, and the storms never beat.
