She went across the autumn woods,
The netted branches through;
And the rotted leaves chung to her feet,
And to her hair the dew. sake,
so wind!' she cried, "for the Springs
And the love beyond the sea,
O south wind! o tender wind

The salt tears rising fast,
With her folded robe about her head,
Against the bitter blast.

And strange feet crossed the pale spring

And strange eyes saw the buds.

had arrived at the Northern Central Depot

Granma's Darling.

Who'll he our Granma now, mother,
Since she is in the skies?
And who will take me up to her,
When Granma's darling dies?
And who will sing the little song,
Or tell the tale of love,
To her dear little joyful throns,
Now she is far above?
Above us Wonder in the skies,
With all those twinkling stars,
Shining on us like CRIMINALS eyes
Say, mother, is it far?
Or can we go to her some day,
And cur dear Grandpa see.
And will they never come away
To be ence more with thee?
Oh. l Should love to tell them how
We want them both at home;
l seem to hear them speaking now,
Say, will they nerer come?
1 see her weeping willow tree,
How beautiful it stands,
And waves its branches over me-
Planted with Granma's hands!
And there are many pretty flowers
Which Granma used to love:
We look at them and call them ours
Say, do they bloom absve9
think she told us long ago
What beautiful bright flowers
Were in Gods garden, white as snow,
And pure as thoughts of ours.
She said the little ones were good,
Were Granma's darling ones,
That our dear Saviour sometime would
Take us up to his home.
Then let us go there now and try,
Te be her darling still.
Mother, dear mother do not cry
Or poor dear Granma will.
And if she cannot come so far,
From that dear home above,
Mother, we'll try to be like her,
And must each other love.

Hannah Binding Shoes.
by LUCY LARCOM.

Poor, lone Hannah,
Sitting at the window, binding shoes.
Faded, wrinkled,
Sitting, stitching, in a mornful muse.
Bright-eyed beauty once was she,
When the bloom was on the tree:
Spring and winter,
Hannah's at the window, binding shoes.
Not neighbor
Passing nod or answer will refuse
To her whisper:
SIS there from the fishers any news? ~
Oh. her hearts adrift, with one
On an endless voyage gone.
Night and morning,
Hannah at the window, binding shoes.
Fair young Hannah
Ben, the sunbunt fisher, gaily woos;
Hale and clever,
For willing heart and hand he sues.
May day skies are all agow,
And the waves are laughing so.
For her wedding
Hannah leaves her window and her Shoes
May is passing;
Mid the apple-boughs pigeon COOS.
Hannah shudders,
For the mild Southwestern mischief brews.
Round the rocks of Marblchead
Outward bound, schooner sped:
Silent, lonesome,
Hannah's at the window, binding shoes.
IT'S November,
Now no tear her wasted cheek bedews
From Newfoundland
Not sail returning will she lose,
Whispering, hoarsely: Fishermen,
Have you, heard of Benz
Old with watching,
Hannah's at the window binding Shoes.
Twenty winters
Bleach and tear the ragged shore she views
Twenty seasons;
Never one has brought her any news.
Still her dim eyes silently
Chase the white sales DER the sea;
Hopeless. faithful,
Hannah's at the window binding shoes.

The most interesting part of the old
newspaper is its account of the funeral
ceremonies Of the great and adored WASH
ington, swhese death occurred December
14th, 1899. The inside pages of the paper
are ia mourning, in such bread, black lines
as would, at the present day, strike artis-

an inch in width surrounds three sides of
the inner pages, while the column rules are
half the width of the sombre border
The account of the imposing ceremonies
attendant on the funeral of the Father of
his Country, described so infinitely in this
old paper, are familiar to the most of news
paper readers, having been frequently pub
lished, consequently we omit them.
This old paper contains some decidedly
unique advertisements. Luther Andres
evidently thrifty merchant, introduces
his business to the public in the attractive
decoration of rhyme. The following verse
may serve as a copy for some of our own
enterprising tradesmen. Andres opinion
of the credit system seems to have been
decidedly unfavorable:

contract for building the new courthouse.
There were fifteen bids, at prices ranging
from $4,000 to SIG, s62. Ten Of the bids
were put in by men Qauled Marco, i. e. seven
by Samuel Marco, one BY Cornelius Marco,
an infant son of the seyen-fold Samuel, one
by NJ. Marco & Co., and one by M. Marco.
One Of the seven-fold Samuels (who bid at

and A. T. STEWART One of the seven-fold
Samuel Marcos put in the lowest bid, s13,-
