90 RRING ME BACK ny FLOWERS.
One evening when b gentle sun
SHED forth its lingering rays,
And birds were chipping happy songs,
To welcome summer days;
little girl was strolling home
Along the meadow farm,
And flled her basket full Of flowers
And hung it on her arm
Amid the woods She wandered on,
Enraptured with the scene,
And growing weary with her walk
She sal beside q stream.
The waters Of this little brook,
So crystal in its how,
Dashed by her with a rapid tide,
And seemed to cheer her 50;
She threw a flower upon its wave,
To watch il floating by,
TIN far away it glided on
No more TO meet her eye.
Another, and another still,
She threw and watched them long,
And never tho what she had done
TIL ali her flowers were gone.
Too late she saw her sad mistake,
she cried fer many hours,
Her little voice re-echOing of,
80 bring me back my hswers-'
All can we not a lesson read
From this and take alarm,
For an OF Us are % Little Girls"
With baskets on arms;
Our 30 baskets r too, are fun OF flowers
The warnings God has given,
To teach Us We should Zee His wrath,
And live with Kim in Heaven.
Yes many a soul is sitting now
Beneath the gospels beam,
And casting all its " flowers " away,
Into life's dashing stream.
Too late youu md o u great mistake
Mispsndiug precious hours,
And like the Little Girl" youu cry,
80 bring me back my Flowers ."

aud protracted illness Of leven tedious
years. .e :.
The deceased was born in l716 Of a
poor but respectable couple Honesty
and Patriotism. The first seven years
Of her life were struggle with mystery,
even as we're the closing seven. But she
grew up a beautiful lass, and made her
entire into society in 1887, winning the
admiration OF friends aud the Jealousy
of rivals. At an early age she formed q
tender attachment for Principle. A
happy union followed, and in the course
of events numerous offspring rose mp
to bless her The duties of maternity,
however, did not detract from her beauty,
and as she advanced in years she seemed
to increase in loveliness Devoting her
self exclusively to the care of her nu-
merous family, and sure of the ever en-
during love Of her only spouse, the
future lay before her bright as the vision
| of beatitude ul lfdH'it nit i
But alas for human frailty In an
evil hour, elderly matron though she
was, she listened to the honeyed words o.
an unprinciplsd young fellow named
Radicalism, not yet out Of his teens. She
resisted his advances for while, bat in
November 1860, lost to all sense of wo-
manly dignity, she abandoned the part
ner Of her youth and took up with this
Young scapegrace. This faur pas cre-
ated lamentable disturbance in heI
previously happy family. Eleven of hel
most loving children refused to live with
this young step-father, and sought fol
themselves other homes. For this piece
of contumscy the wicked step-father dis
inherited ten Of them, and dragging the
elevsath back to the old homestead, he
inflicted on her untold barbarities and
outrages. The poor old mother, heart
broken by the disgrace Of her household
was struck with paralysis, and has been
bedridden for several years. The physi
clans who attended, were chosen by her
lunprincipled husband, and the public
opinion is that they were employed te
kill instead Of cure, as the old lady wa,
an obstacle to his ambitious designs on
her property and that of her children.
Last Monday, after unheard Of suffering
and anguish, she breathed her last
