Sixty years through shine and shadow
Sixty years, my gontle wifc,
You and I have walked t. 5gether,
Down the rugged road Of life.
From the hills Of Spring we started,
And the fruitful Autumn country,
We have journcycd hand in hand.
We have borne the heat and burden, .
Toiling painfully and slow
We have gathered in our harvest,
With rejoicing, long ago.
Leave the uplands for our children,
They are strong to SOW and reap,
Through the quiet Winter iowlands
Our level way VIC keep.
'Tis drcary country, darling,
You and are passin through;
But the road lies straight before US,
And the miles arc short and fcw;
No more dangers to encounter
No more hills to climb, true friend,
Nothinp now br. s;,nri~ ....u,;-.

We have had our timc OF giadness,

All the prcudest Of our journey,
When VIC felt that we could say,
OF tho children God had given,
Looking fondly on the ten,
"Lovely women arc our daughters
Our sons are nOblo ncnl"
We Lave had our time of sorrow,-
Our timo Of anxious fears,
When we could not see the milostones
Through the blindness Of our tears.

And VIC left them on the way

But we have not lost the way.

sound Of her voice the Count rushed for

REPTILES IN IRELAND.-The story Of
Sc. Patrick's expulsion Of snakes from
Ireland is known to. every one Some
writer's nave supposed that the tradition
should he interpreted iu metaphorical
sense, and that the worship Of demons or
Of serpents was abolished by the saint.
In any case, the fact that the island was
free from these osestures IL mentioned by
carly historians, and native bishop says,
in latin poem Of the 9th century, that
in Ireland mo serpent crceps through the
grass. and no frog chatters in the lakes. "
This lattor phenomenon remained true
till the early part Of the eighteenth cen
tury, when fellow Of Trinity College,
Dublin, imported some frog-spawn from
England, and placed it in the bitches,
Since then, frogs have spread over the
country. Several attempts have been
made to introduce vipers and other
snakes, but apparently they have not
survived long. A species of1izard, how
ever, is said to be found in ireland. The
island Of Malta claims similar immu'
