Leaving the Old House.

There's sunshine on the meadows,
And sunshine on the road,
And through the brightness tolls my horse
Beneath weary load;
And as ! stand beside my gate, with hand before
my ewes,
hear the children laugh to see the household gods
prize.
There was a time when this old home
Was full Of mirih and glee.
But one by one the household went
And let it all 20 me-
4 quiet house Of vacant rooms each made sacred
place
BY echo of a missing voice, or dream Of vanished
face.
All, how used TO pause before
The mirror on the stair.
And shake my long bright ringlets out,
And fancy | was fair!
I took that quaint old mirror down, and packed il
up last night,
and never stopped to trick my hair-for what is
left is white.
In later years ! used to sit
And watch the long green lane,
For one who came IN those old times,
But cannot come again.
And. somehow. still az evenude my chair is turned
that way;
I sit and work where once watched--I sat so yes
terday.
Nv new house is pleasant place,
Butyct il grieyes me now.
It small completeness seems 70 say
NV world is narrow now.
'Tis far too small forany with festivals 70 keep
Bu, for my funeral large enough, for few Will come
10 weep
Goodbye, old house, long goodbye;
Nv hand is on your gate;
Though tears are gathering in my eyes,
may not longer wait
Goodbye, old house; and after all the love which
makes YOU dear
Awaits me in the heavenly home which am draw
ing near.

"Try it On"


The KaiekerJOcter tells an excellent story Of
Burchard, the great Reviyalist-not Of him ex-
actly, either, but Of what happened at the close
Of one of bis meetings. lie was in the habit
of addressing his congregation in this wise:
81 am going to pray, and want all who de-
sire TO be prayed for to send up their names on
piece of paper
On the occasion to which we refer, there was
at once sent up to the desk quite pile Of lit
tie slips of paper, with the names on, in whose
behalf he WAS to wrestle, as be said, with tie
Almighty.
A pause soon ensued, when he said Send
'em up, I can pray for dozen. Ifyou haven't
any paper, get up and name the friend YOU
want prayed for"
At this stage Of the proceedings, man who
We shall call Oziel Briggs, a stalwart man OF
SIX feet and half in his stockings, a notorious
unbeliever, and wag to boot, rose in The midst
Of the congregation, mark for all, and amidst
the winls and smiles Of the auditory said:
Mr. Burchard, want you to pray for jim
Thompson"
The reyerond.petitioner saw from the excite
ment Of the audience that OHcl was hard case.
"What is your name, sir, aud who is Mr..
Thompson?'
"It's jim Thompson; he keeps a tavern
down in Thompsonyilc and | keep public
house little below him. He is an internal
scoundrcl, and l want you to give him ill.,"
"But," said Mr.. Burchnd, "haye you faith
in the efficacy of prayer? DO YOU believe in
the power Of petition p
THAT is neither here nor there" responded
Ozicl " rant goa to try Il on him "
