The following lines were supposed to have
been written by girl, who had been tread
ing the path of vice. for years, and was
thrown into prison, where she died. Shortly
after her decease, they were found in her
cell
1t rains so hard this gloomy night,
The iron floor is freezing cold;
What brought me here, so chill and white,
This shameful heavy heart to hold2
think and think, and cannot tell;
I've been wretch unione for years;
And why in Jail l've come to dwell,
You must not ask me-ask these tears!
I've had such strange and feverish dreams
About my life, and what Pve done;
They've almost stopped my thought it seems,
And blood in veins will scarcely run.
So base am /! not fit TO live!
And yet, do not wish to dieI
Pity Ine--Timei and pardon give,
And do not let Death come so nigh!
Ten years ago, not far from kere,
/ went to school and had a home;
l left the hearth with all so dear,
The thorny path of vice to roam.
When building castles in the air,
/ never dreamed that devils stood
With hand to blast my beauty fair,
And virtue sink in rufus food.
The night before Iran away,
My father took me on his knee;
He told me that he wished to say,
None earthly did he love like me.
he asked me if I'd not be good,
And make his happy hours bright.
With tears told him that l would
& Deep grief and tears stole all that night.
Ny memory here begins to fail,
My head is dizzy, heart is sick;
These struggles are of no avail,
Death steals upon me, OIL 30 quick!
Can this be death? And in this place,
Where neither love nor pity dwells?
He grimly looks me in the face,
Farewell, cold friendless world; farewell.

Pull down the bough, Bob! Ism t this fun?
Now gvie it shake. and--there goes one!
Now your thumb up to the other, and see
If it isn't as ripe as ripe can be.

It must be ripe!
That's one apiece for you and me.
Green, are they? Well, no matter for that,
Sit down on the grass. and well have a chat;
And I'll tel,,you what old Parson Butte
Said last Sunday of nnripe fruit:
Life, says he,
sIf bountiful tree,
Heavily laden with beautiful fruit.
For the youth there's lore, just streaked
with red,
And great joys hanging just over his head;
Happiness, honor, and great estate,
For those who patiently work and wait.
Blessings said be,
'Of every degree,
Ripening early and ripening late.
take them in season, pick them and eat,
And the fruit is wholesome, the fruit is sweet,
But. o, my friends!' here he gave rap
On his desk, like regular thunder clap,
And he made such bang
I'D Old Deacon Lang
Woke up out of his Sunday nap.
Green fruit said he, God would not bless
But half life's sorrow and bitterness,
Half the evil, and ache and crime,
Came from tasting before their time
The fruit Heaven SENT
Then on he went
To his fourthly and ffthly-wasn': it prime7
But say, Bob! we fellows don't care
So much for a mouthful of apple or pear;
But what we like is the fun of the thing,
When the fresh winds blow, nd-the hang
birds bring
Home pruhs and sing
To their young ones aswiEg
In their basket-nest, tied up By its string.
I like apples in various ways;
They're first rate roasted before the blaze
Ola winters fire; and o my eyes!
Aren 7 they nice, though, mad5 into pies?

One. cooked or raw,
That wasn't good for a boy of my size@
But shake your fruit from the orchard tree,
And the tune Of the brook, and the hum of the

And the chipmpnks chippering every minute,
And the clear, sweet voice of the gay little
Hnnet, TO
And the grass, and the flowers,
And the long summer hours,
And the e favor of sun and breeze are in it.
But this is hard one! Why didn.twe s
Leave them another week on the tree?

OUR SATURDAY NIGHT.
Indeed a Golden Reward.

We did hope for rest this
Saturday Night, all alone, with
no one to take our thoughts from
the beautiful study of life and Wis

come at times trooping all around
US; each one suggesting good
thought and all smiling a happy
hearted approval to reward US for
honest Iaboring in the vineyard Of
life.
Have you ever read of angels
visits? Some people say they are
lew and far between. Not so, if
we would have them freqpen
And much of this wits ma all 10th

angels. Not the looked-for en-

Our good angels never yet have
deserted US. Each year more

know many of them. We can see
them as plainly as the tracing on

SPEAK KINDLY TO THY MOTHER
Young man, speak kindly to your
mother, and courteously, tenderly
of her. But little time and you
shall see her no more forever.
Her eye is dim, and her form is
bent, and her shadow falls toward
the grave. Others may love you
fondly; but never again while time
is yours, shall any ones love be to
you as that of your old, trembling
weakened mother has been.
Through helpless infancy her
throbbing breast was your safe
protection and support; in way
ward. testy boyhood, she bore pa
tiently with your thoughtless rude
ness she nursed you safely
through a legion of ills and mala-n
dies. seu
Her hand bathed your burning
brow, or moistoined your parched
Ibis her eye lighted up the dark
ness of nightly vigils, watching
sleepless by your side as none but
her could watch. Oh, speak not
her name lightly, for you cannot
live SO many years as would
suffice to thank her fully. Through
a reckless and impatient youth,
she is your counsellor and solace. 2
Toa bright manhood she guides
your steps for Improvements nor
even then forsakes or forgets. Hi q
Speak gently then, and revercnt-
ly, of your mother and when you,
too, shall be old, it shall in some
degree. Tighten the remorse which
shall be yours for other sins, to
know that never wantonly have
you outraged the respect due Ito
your aged mother. z; as

WAYNE COUNTY, IND. NOV.

The pathway they go--the way
they come--is not dark to us. It
was once. But we have looked
for light and looked and looked,
till at last it has come to u.s. We
would not stop looking till we saw,
and understood. Every day these
unseen visitors come to us: They
are our friends. Sometimes one,
sometimes more are with US At
times they leave US alone, and 60
away to call upon others. Some
times we send them on errands
for us, miles away-to whisper
words, or thoughts, to absent
friends. Aue they come back to
tell us what their hearts replied,
and where they were, how looking,
and how in health: So we are a
thousand times a day here and
there--with those who write us let
ters-with the poor who often
think of US as we do of them-with
the weary and the overworked. ata
Sometimes all our good angels
leave us for hours, to grope in the
dark, as it were, and to feel sad,
depressed. unnatural, as one
who halts in wilderness, with the
night and the storm all about him,
and he in distress. Then we make
haste to call for help, and our
spirit reaches forth and goes out
for the golden shadows which
bring us light.
And they come. One whispers
hope. Another tells US to be brave
and truthful, and all will be well.
Another tells US that the golden
shore is for our reaching, that we
must not sit idle, but push on like
man. Another good angel comes
and tells us what others have done
another one tells us who loves
US and who is glad when we are
in such heart-warmed company
other angels go with US to point
the way, and show where we must
walk and not fall; and once more
we are on the road.
Som etimes, when our good
thoughts or good angels come to
US not, dark shadows come over
us. Bad thoughts and selfish de-
sires enter our spirit temple or
life. But light dispels darkness,
and the good triumphs over the
bad as we seek the light or remain
content to grope in darkness, and
to sleep under this hedge or that
bramble because others who do
not, and perhaps do not care to
see as we see, are content to think
there is but one path to the Eter-
nal! .aft t
And that one over thorns, and
GOALS, and poisonous points of
granite-as if q Power that is Love
Eternal wants agony instead OF
earnest manhood and goodwill in
the beautiful Land Of the Leal.
