Gone Before.

There's beautiful face in the silent air,
Which follows me ever and near,
With smiling eyes and amber hair,
With breathless lips, yet with breath Of
prayer
That | feel, but cannot bear.
The dimpled hand and the ringlet of gold
Lie low in a marble Of sleep;
1 stretch my arms for the clasp of old,
But the empty air is strangely cold,
And my vigils alone l keep.
There's a sinless brow, with radiant
crown,
And a cross laid down in the DUST
There's a smile where never shade comes
And tears no more from those dear eyes
flow,
So sweet in their innocent trust.
All, we'll! and summer is coming again,
Singing her same old song;
But, oh! it sounds like a sob Of pain,
As it floats in the sunshine and the rain,
O'er hearts of the worlds great tthrong.
There's a beautiful region above the skies,
And long to reacl, its shore,
For know | shall find my treasure there,
The laughing eyes and the amber hair,
OF the loved one gone before.

hymns. He wrote some lines also
about swearing, which it would be
worth while for every boy in the land
to learn.

Maintain your rank; vulgarity despise;
To swear is neither brave, polite nor wise.

At the Last.
BY CLIO STANLEY.

Oh, harvest moon! Again too soon
You shed your mellow light?
The golden days have been in tune
Since we passed thro' the gates of June,
That pleasant summer night.
Oh, autumn stars, to soon ye climb
Within the welkin bluel
| had not dreamed that any time
Could rhyme with such sober rhyme,
Till lovers proved untrue!
But like the waves that beat the shore
The summer days Went by;
And now, the songs we sung OF yore,
Those merry songs, wen sound no more,
Through all eternity.
No morei All, -saddest OF sad words
That thrUng the human heartl
The scented breeze that softly TIRED,
The ripping song of bonny bird,
Can make the tear-drop start!
Each said to each. ooh, tried and true,
Our love can never fail =
Yet-what must be, the angels knew,
And brought the breezes, faint and few,
To fill the snowy sail.
Oh. harvest moon! Your tender light
Falls sweetly on the shore;
And yet, that sail, just out Of sight,
Bears from me all that made life bright,
All, me, forevermore.

AS the church, therefore, is sometimes

The yankee trader had evidently
INDUCED in the hope of escaping this
tax, but seeing no alternative now, he
deposited his money on a chip and
stood off according to order. Next
followed the old doctor, who took it
like philosopher. johnson seemed
composed and powerless from the be-
ginning. A hopeless melancholy was
upon him. With most profound
sigh he placed his two bits on a chip,
remarking in a detected tone, @My
God if | only had my rife !" and
then passed over. Col Wash was
the last. He was perfectly convulsed
with rage, and declared with many
extraordinary oaths that he would
have satisfaction for this outrage
But what was the use of talking ?
We were all shivering with cold, and
the money must be paid. Col. Wash
with all his blood thirsty propensities
was evidently no fool. That clause
in the ferryman address-"IU drap
him sure!' was wonderfully impress
i've. So Col. Wash put his money up
on the chip, promising to settle mat
terS on his return.
That's all right stranger" said
the gaunt ferryman. "Gen'raLIy speak,
IN Tn on hand here!' Then he sat
down and resumed his corn cob pipe,
apparently quite Indifferent to our
future movements or to any projects
of vengeance that might enter our
heads.-OuerLand Monthly.

Children are very apt to think a
great deal more OF an illustration than
of the truth it was intended to illus
trate. A teacher once endeavored to
illustrate faith thus: Children, if

you believe me p Yes, sir ?" unan-
imously. "Well, that is faith; you
believe me because | say it, and you
feel sure | would not tell an untruth."

of the same children, g What is faith 2"

Rev. Thomas K. Beecher declares

Rev. Thomas K. Beecher declares
the difference between Presbyterians
and Congregationalists to be of as
little account as that between tweedle-
dunn and tweedledee, and laughs at
the mutual .jealousies of the two de-
nominations, saying that the main diff
ference between them is " that in one
the ministers and elders meet in pres
bytery and have dull time, and in
the other the ministers and delegates
meet in association and have a duller
time" and he advises the churches
made up of both sects to decide which
they will remain with by casting lots.
The Congregationalist rebukes this
levity of Mr.. Beecher, and reminds
him of another difference between
Presbyterians and Congregationals,
which is that the former hang such an
offender as himself with a symbolic
rope, while Congregationalists give
him all the rope he wants and let him
hang himself

EXTRAORDINARY EXODUS OF HONEY
BEEs.-THEY ABANDON THEIR WINTER
STORES AND DISAPPEAR.-One of the
most remarkable occurrences that has
ever come to our knowledge was re-
lated to as yesterday. Mr. James
Broil, a farmer, who resides about
seven miles from the city, on the river
road, has, for some time past, been en-
gagged extensively in raising honey
bees, and with almost unprecedented
success. He has lately rejoiced in as
many as forty-fv hives. A few morn
ings ago, however, Mr.. Broil woke up
to fud his bees non est. They had
"lit out" between two days, leaving no
trace whatever of the point or region
of country to which they had so uncer-
enormously migrated. There was not
a solitary bee left to keep his lonely
watch over the forty-fve hives. AS
might be expected, Farmer Broil was
left in considerable Of a dilemma, and
immediately consulted all the autbori-
ties at his command in relation to the
peculiar habits and freaks of the bee
tribe.
After reading through many vol
umeS, it occurred to him that some Of
his neighbOrS might be able to ex-
plain the why's and wherefores Of this
"bounty:jumping" move on the part of
his army of honey makers. He ac-
cordingly made a "bee line" for the
residence of his nearest neighbor, to
consult him on the singular problem
To his utter surprise, he ascertained
that his friend, who is also "beeist,
had met with the same loss in the
same sudden manner, and was in the
same perplexity as 10 the cause
They at once resolved on examining
the hives; and it revealed to them
the fact that each stand contained
from sixty to seventy-fve pounds of
honey. This development led the two
bee raiser8 to seek for further infOr
nation; and in their rounds, for {
circuit Of twenty-five miles, they founC
that every hive had been deserted
about the same time, and all of then
were left fu!l of honey. The farmer,
in that region are unable to accoun
for this mysterious disappearance of
their bees, and many theories have
been advanced, but up to this time tht
problem remains unsolved. The opin
ion OF most of them is that the mild
ness of the weather up to so late ;
season caused this singular migration

The EsCURIAL.-The Escurial is
the palace of the kings of Spain, one
of the largest and most magnificent in
the world. 1t was commenced by
Phillip Ii, in the year 1862. and the
first cost of its erection was 6,000,-
900 of ducats. 1t forms vast square
of polished stone, paved with marble.
1t may give some notion OF the sur
prising grandeur of this palace to OBJ
serve that according to the computa-
ton of Francisco de los Santes, it
would take more than four days to go
through all the rooms and apartments,
the length Of the way being reckoned
thirty-three Spanish leagues, which is
above one hundred and twenty Eng
lish miles. There are fourteen thous-
and doors and eleven thousand win

Slxty-six posts mortem of sudden
