THE CROOKED PATH.
BY oLIvET WENDELL HOLMES.

All. here it is, the sliding rail
That marks the old rememb cred spot
The gap that struck our schOolboy trail -
The crooked path across the lot.
II left the road by school and church,
A penciled shadow, nothing more,
That parted from the silver birch,
And ended at the farm house door.
No line or compass traced its plan.
With frequent bends TO left or right,
In aimless. hayward curves 1t ran.
But always kept the door in sight.
The gabled porch. with woodland green
The broken milestone Mt tn, Sill
Though many rood might stretch between
The truant child could see them still.
No rocks across the pathway lie,
No fallen trunk is Ger it THROWN
And yet it winds, we know not why,
And turns as if for tree or stone.
Perhaps some lover trod the way
With shaking knees and qGaking heart,
And so it often runs astray
With siuuous sweep or sudden start.
Or ore, perchanc with clouded brain
From some unholy banquet reeled.-
And since, our devious steps maintain
His track across the trOdden field.
Nay, deem not thus--no earth-born will
Could ever trace a faultless line
Our truest steps are human STILL
To walk answering were divine
Truants from love. we dream of wrath
o, rather let us trust the more !
Through all the wanderpgs of the path,
We still can see orr Fathers door.

Our friends there lave our sympathy, and if

Detach the delicate blossoms from the tree
Close thy sweet eyes calmly and without
