He led her to the altar,
In all his manly pride,
And there the words were spoken
That made her then his bride.
He led her to the altar
Mid smiles of glad delight,
She vowed to love and honor,
Yeti was all a blight.
lie led her to the altar,
The scalding- tears did start,
Mid hidden golden memories
She gave her hand mot hear
She might in truth have honorcd-
But loyc-ah! no-not now
For icwelcd words of holiness
Were stamped upon her brow.
In bitter burning anger,
fathers curse was told.
And then heart of purity
Was bartercd cen Tor gold.
He led her from the altar
Amid the giadienipg throng,
And in the flowing r9usic
She heard her dying song.
She saw the flowing river,
The coming blushirg flowers
Felt the pressure of that hand,
Meath The summer bowers.
He led her from the altar
They laid her meath the sod
Her free and happy spirit
Went peaceful home to God.
TT ere her glad ami Joyous spirit-
Mid the fleece ci0uds far above
Radiautly bright and holy
john her first--her carly love.

These measures must be repeated fifteen
times in a minute. Meanwhile, to induce
circulation and warmth, rub the limbs upward

- Many years ago small Connecticut
parish undertook to build meeting house.
They went so far as to get up the frame and
cover it with boards. Then, for want Of
money and want Of harmony, the enterprise
stood still. The clements then assailed the
unfinished structure, which in The course of
few years rotted down. By this time the
people had come to their senses, and set ous
in earnest to have another house. Raisiugs
were then great occasions. All the men
assembled to put up the timbers-all the
women and children were there to see them
do it. At the conclusion of the work it was
common to sing a psaIm-the lines, Cor want
of books, being usually deaconed off This
Office, at the time referred to- assigned to
president Edwards witty son Pierrepont, who
happened to be present. he began as follows:
Except The Lord doth build the house.
The workInen toll in vain
which was sung with u will. But the excited
throng was taken sounev hat aback when their
roguish precePtor reared out as follows

happiness. He alone grows in the excellen-
ces of Gods grace who rises above the love
of money and develops the higher faculties
and sentiments. 1t is the exercise of these
which brings peace. One must be honest
kindly, honorable, forgiving, trusting, and
godly if he would stand on the highest hu-
man plane. Riches, honor, ambition, love
OF art, poetry, music, home, and even the
social affections, must all be subOrdiDated
to the moral, spiritual, religious sense. 1t
must be God first, humanity next and
worldly a1airs last. He who earns or ae-
quires the most money like the man with
the most talents, will be held all the more
accountable for its right use. Man may not
live to himself alone Great riches and
great talents are great powers, and when
rightly used bring happiness to all but
when prostituted to base purposes, only sink
their possessor in the esteem of his fellows,
and bring ruin on those who participate in
their use. The money of the gambler curses
all who use it in that way. Our study
should be, to know the real value of money,
and to use it wisely; to understand our own
abilities, and to exercise them for the good
of mankind; to learn the laws of our being,
and obey them; to find out the will of God,
and do it

Strong as that power. whose strange control
Impels the torrents force
Directs the needle to the pole,
And bids the waves Of ocean roll
In their appointed course;
So powerful are the ties that bind
The scenes Of childhood to the mind;
So firmly to the heart adheres
The memory Of departed years
Whence is this passion in the breastg
That when the past we view,
And think Of pleasures. once possessed,
In fancys fairest eolovs dressed.
Those pleasures we renew?
And why do Memory's pains impart
A pleasing sadness to the hearth
What potent charm 20 ali eudears
The days of our departed years?
True-many rosebud, blooming gay,
Lifes opening nath adorns;
But all who tread that path viii say.
That mid the flowers which strew its way,
Are cares eorroding thorns.
Yet still the bosom will retain
Affection ey'n for hours Of pain;
And we can smile. though Bathed in tears,
At memory OF departed years.
'Tis distance, our bewiIdered gaze
On former scenes beguiles,
And memory's charm the eye betrays;
For while enjoyment it displays
And robes the past in smiles,
It's hattering mirror proves untrue,
Conceals the SORROW from our view,
And hides the griefs, the doubts and fears,
That darkened our departed years
Time, when our own, we oft despiss-
When gone, its loss deplore;
Nor till the fleeing mUmen,s flies
Do mortals learn its worth to prize,
When it returns no more.
For this an anxious look we cast,
With fond regret on hours long past
For this the feeling heart reveres
The memory Of departed years.

both for dead. They were found, however,
the next morning by farmer who was pass
ing. They were lying in the woods in
state Of Inconsistencies, but were finally
restored. The alarm was given, and a num-

villains, but up to last accounts none Of
them had been arrested. 1t is said the ladies
of that county are terribly alarmed and are
afraid to leave their own doors IL it had
