THE Old STORY.

Ny heart is chilled and my pulse is slow,
Hut often and often will memory go,
Like blind child lost in a waste of snow,
Back to the days when l loved you so,
The beautiful long ago.
I sit here dreaming them through and tEro',
The blisstnl moments ared with YOU
The sweet, sweet days when our love was
new,
When 1 was trusted and you were true
Beautiful days, but few.
Blest or wretched. fcttere6 or free,
Why should care how your life may be,
Or whether you wander by land or sea?
l only know you are dead to me,
Ever and hopelrssly.
Oh how often at days decline,
pushed from my window the curtaining vine
To see from your lattice the lamplight
shine;
Type Of message, that. half divine,
Flashed from your heart to mine.
Once more the starlight is silvering all;
The roses sleep by the garden wall
The night-bird walblrs his madrigal-
And hear again through the sweet air fall
The evening bugle call.
But Summers will vanish and years will wane
And bring no light to your windnw-pane-
Nor gracious sunshine nor patient rain
Can bring dead love back to life again
l call up the past in vain.
My heart is heavy. my heart is old.
A L
l watch no longer your curtains fod
Tie vii dow is dark and the night is cold.
And the story forever told.
THE BRIDAL.
BYA DECIDEDLY CONFIRMED BACHELOR.
Not laugh was heard. nor Joyous note.
As our friend to the bridal we hurried;
Not a wit d discharged his farewell shot.
As the bachelor went to be married.
We married him quickly to save his fright,
Our heads from the sad sight turning;
And we sighed as we stood by the lamps
dim light.
10 tLlnk lldt UtcneioT lfee anu orlSHt,
And shy of the sex as we found him,
Should there at the altar, at dead of night,
Be caught in the snare that bound him.
Few and short were the words we said.
Though of wine and cake partaking;
We escorted him home from the scene Of
dread.
While his knees were awfully shaking.
Slowly and sadly we marched him down
From tie first to the lowermo>t story;
And we never have heard of or seen the poor
man
Whom we left alone in his glory,

HOPE BOVE.
BY JAMES W, CoFFRoTH.

"B hold He that kecpoth Israel shall nei-
her 'lumber nor sleep [P-alms, exxi.
Amid he silence of the night.
Amid its lonely hours and dreary,
When we close the aching sight,
Mu>ing sadly. lorn and weary,
Trusting that to- morrnw's light
May reveal day more CHEEKY;
Amid affections darkest hour,
When no hope beguiles our sadness,
When Deaths hur,ling tempests lower,
And forever shrouds our < adness.
While Griet's unrelenting power
Goads our stricken hearts to madness;
When from friends belov'd we're parted,
And from scenes our spirits love,
And are driven. broken hearted,
Ger h, artless world to rove;
When the woes by which we've smarted,
Vainly seek to melt or move;
When we trust and are deluded,
hen we love and are denied,
When the schemes DER which we brooded,
Burst like mist on mountains side,
And from every hope excluded
We in dark despair abide;
Then, and ever. GoD sustaIrs us,
He whose eye no slumber knows,
Who controls each throb that pains US,
And in mercy sends our woes,
And by love severe constrains US
To avoid eternal throes.
Happy he whose heart obeys Him!
Lost and ruined who disown!
Oh if idols Ter displace Him.
Tear them from His chosen throne.
May our lives and language praise Him,
May our hearts be His alone!

1 How TO Cook HusBAND.-Many
of our married lady readers are not
aware how husband ought to be cook
ed, so as to make good dish of him.
We saw lately recipe in an English
paper, contributed by one "Mary,"
which points out the modus operondi
of preparing and cooking husbands.-
Mary says good many husbands are
spoiled iu cooking. Some women 90
about it as if their lords were bladders,
and blow them up Others keep them
constantly in 'hot WATER while others.
again, freeze them by conjugal coldness
Some smother them in hatred, conten-
tion and variance, and some keep them
in pickle all their lives These women
always serve them with tongue sauce
Now it cannot be supposed that hus-
bands will be tender and good man
aged in this way; but they are, on the
contrary, quite delicious when well
preserved MARY" points out the
mar ner, as follows: "Get large jar,
called the jar of carefulness, (Which,
blythe by, all good wives have at hand)
Being placed in it, set him pearthe fire
of conjugal love; let the fire be pretty
hot, but especially letit be clear. Above
all. let the heat be regular and constant
Cover him over with equal quantities of
affection kindness and subsection. Keep
plenty of these things by you and be
very attentive to supply the place of
any that may waste by evaporation, or
any other cause. Garnish with modest
becoming familiarity, and innocent
pleasantly and if you add kisses, or
other confectioperies, accompany them
with sufficient portion of secrecy, and
| it would not be amiss to add little
prudence and moderation"
| ROMANCE OF MARRIAGE.-Two weeks
ago we published the marriage in this
town of Captain Robert e. Fiske, edit
or of the Helena (Montana) Herald, to
a Miss Lizzie Chester. Since that time
we have learned that there is a bit of
romance connected with this affair which
is really worth telling. When the war
of the rebellion broke out, Mr.. Fiske
was resident of New York, from which
State he enlisted in the Uuion army,
and attained to the rank of Captain. In
some one of the engagements he was
wounded and taken to an army hospital.
While he was thus confined, it appears
hat the ladies' of our town of Vernon
were at work for the soldiers; and
among other things which they provid-
ed and sent as hospital stores, was an
''album bed,Guilt," which contained
the names of the several ladies who as
sisted in its construction. AS luck
would have it, this bed-quilt found its
way to the hospital and the very bed
upon which the wounded captain lay /;
and for amusement he copied the names
sending letter, or his photograph, or
both, to the address of every lady. One
of these letters was received by little
girl, who procured the services of Miss
Chester to reply. We Deed not partic-
ularize further but it was simply thro'
the agency of this album bed quilt that
Captain Fiske heard of Miss Chester,
and now, after the lapse of two years,
that acquaintance has eliminated in
marriage, and the gallant officer has ta-
ken his fair lady to his home in the far
