IN THE SHADOWS.

BY ANNIE HERBERT.
Sitting in the sharows, love,
Neither word nor sign
Breaking through the harmony
Of your soul with mine.
Through the silence thrills chord
Mightier than speech, 81
More than any whispered word,
Linking each to each.
Through the murk and through the rain
Comes breath divine,
Touch of blessing, stilling pain,
With your hand in mine.
Do you know the adage, love,
Caught from legends old?
"Speech is silver" so it runs,
But the "silence-gold.
Speech drops chains of silver down
Loves deep mysteries,
Where we find her buried crown,
Golden silences.
And your life, so near to mine,
Seems with mine inwrought,
Till hint, touch, sign,
Answers to q thought.
And if every phrase most meet
Failed US at command,
Leaving naught but glances sweet,
I9 We could understand.
If you love me, speak not now
Words, however dear;
Only kiss my tired brow,
And my soul will hear.
Then my heart will hush its cries,
And the world will seem
Gliding into Paradise,
Through fairy dream.
Words may do for sunny ways,
Songs for happy faces,
But whence the stream of days
Runs in shady places
When lost treasures, dim with dust,
Throng the darkened room,
And the trailing robes Of trust
Vanish in the gloom
Oh the blessed quietude
Falling like the dew,
Till 1 whisper, cit is good,
Love, to rest with you"
Life may run in shady ways,
If at last there be
Rainbows of the rainy days,
Circling you and me;
Waiting through the shadows, love,
For the word divine,
Speaking forth the harmony
Of your soul with mine.

Gyou bring me such a card would prevent
my giving it to you; and I tore the card
up. The next day he came with kind Of
small triumph in his eye, and handed me
formal letter from Mrs. Lincoln, making
the same request. / said, 4 told you yes

A RARE INCIDENT.-The Easton pa
Free Press tells the following beautiful
Incident: I'VE heard of an incident con
corning the alarm at the school building
the other day, which so we'll illustrated
the noble part of human nature that we
give it publication. In one of the schools
there is a young girl who is a cripple 1t
is the custom of the teacher to allow her,
when the scholars are dismissed, always
to pass out first in order that she may es-
cape from the confusion attendant upon
the dismissal of 80 many children. On
Monday last, when the alarm of fire was
sounded, all the school rooms were at
once emptied of their contents. While in
all of them they rushed out in dismay
and fright, in some cases leaving every
thing behind, IN the one where the lame
child was there was perfect quietness
and order. All the scholars, notwith-
standing the noise and the apparent dan
ger, remained quietly in their seats till
their lame companion had gotten safely
