GEORGE CLEMENTS WIFE.

"Of all things this is the worst!
II I ever, in all my life. expected to
hear such news? Why, our George
has gone and got married! dye

Good Mrs. Clements pushed her
steel. bowed spectacles off her brish
eyes. and dropped the letter in her
lap. as she turned around to her
husband, the stout. clever old farm
er who was econtentedly stroking z
the old white cat.
"Deacon d .ye hear ?"
This time when she asked the
question, there was touch of sharp
ness in her voice.
EYES; what II he is married? I'm
suro it's natural enough. It kinds
O. runs in our family, pears to me-"
But Mrs. Clements would take
no notice of this little pleasantly.
"Well, il you like it, can tell
don't. He needn't think he's com.
ing here with his lne citiiied lady,
all airs aud graces, and flounces and
futed ruffies. There's plenty OF
good girls hereabouts that wanted
him. Right in the middle of work,
to! to talk o bringing q lady here
in hog KILN time! / do declare, 1
think George is a fool"
| A graceful, dainty little lady, in
q garnet poplin and ruffied apron,
with small proudly poisd head,
covered with short dusky curls q
pair OF darkest blue eyes, so wist-
:ul and tender, q suail rosebud of
. mouth, and dimple in one pink
check
That Was Mrs Marion Clements.
Was it any wonder George had fsl
len in love with her?
She sat in the bright little par
lor, close beside the lace curtained
window, watching for the loved
husbands return; and then. when
she heard the click Of the latch
key in the hall, flew for the vel :
coming kiss.
Haven't you the letter this time.
George? I've felt so sure Of it all
day. Indeed Eve quite decided
what dresses to take With me-
| He smiled az he shook his head
| A cloud suddenly came over her
pretty face.
oh, George, isn't it to bad? And
I do bel;eve-oh, I do believe they
won't write because they are sorry
you married me-
i He put his arm around her neck.
And supposing such should be
the case, do you think it would
make any difference to me?'
'Oh, mol no! only it would grievl
me 90, II I knew / had aliensted
your own parents from you

If there Was anything Father
Bogies really delighted in, 1t was
to secure the attention Of some one
while he spun = yarn about the
cuteness OF his boy Tom. ..Ah"

Autumn.
From THE GERMAN.
Autumn,s yellow leaves are shaking,
One BY one they slowly fall,
Summers lovely charm Is breaking,
AL assume dsath's gloomy pail.
Hushsd are oil the songs Of Rl,dness.
Flown each merry autt'rinR wing,
Fen the rills forget in sadness
Their sweet murm'ring glee Of spring.
Painfully the sun-rays elisten
Round each leaf deserted tree
All! this may the parting kisses
Of the dying summer be.
Inwardly my heart Is weeping
As these saddening scenes | See
Weep because they are in keeping
With my taking leave Of thee.

The Asgel of Patience.
Beside the toilsome way
Lonely and dark, by fruits and flowers un.
blest,
Which my worn feet tread sadly, day BY day,
Longing in vain for rest.
An angel softly walks,
With pale, sweet face, and eyes cast meskly
down
The while, from withersd leaves and flower
less stalks,
She weaves my fitting crown.
A sweet and patient grace,
A look Of firm endurance truo aud tried,
OF suffering meekly borne, rests on her face
SO pure, so glorifed.
And when my faintin2 heart
Responds aud murmurs at its adverse fate,
Then quietly the angels bright lips part,
-, Whispering softly y"WaitV'
"Patience," she sweetly saith
"Thy Fathers msycies never come too late

Wait tilt thy hand shall open the eternal gate
And change the tl.orns to flowers.

The Valley Of the Sepulchre.
High mountain peaks, like giants tall advanc-
To quad from harm the denizens below:
Cool limpid streams of water downward
dancing,
Singing and laughing ever as they 60.
Green undulating slopes the valley meeting,
Softening the outline Of the mountain wall,
Quaint glade and hooks give unexpected greet
ing,
And skies Of deepest azure over all.
Up from the mystic West the clouds come
drifting,
Borne BY the ocean breeze that eools the
day,
Their shadcwsd forms across the meadows
shifting.
Playing At hide and seek among the hay.
The pines, each tall head bending to its broth
or, @
Whisper strange tales of things that they
have seen;
The wild birds softly call to one another,
The river mingles music with it, sheen.
The herds are resting in the fragrant clover,
Or wearily along the hillsides creep;
The summer veil mystic haze throws over
Each separate beauty as it lies asleep.
Beautiful vale, mysterious, sad. and lonely.
Haunted BY memories no tongue can tell >
But where the world tried heart can find rest
In thy similitude of heayen-farewsll.
