Forty yesrs the hornets builded
High among the WO0d-brOWn caves;
Forty spriaes the blue birds carolled
Meath the tasseled willow trees.
And TIE star flower and the wild sose
Bldbmed in beauty everywhere,
And with soft breath breathed their fragrance
Out into the summer air.
In the swamp the violets clustered
Large and blue - angels eyes,
Reared its proud head toward the skies.

In those happy days gone BY,
These my bra kee and these my bushes,
This my air and this my sky.
.But.these years have brought their changes,
Robbed the wildwood OF it. bloom.
And the old mill, worn and shattered,
Finds q forest for its tomb.
Every wear the roof grows feebler,
Bends It toward the winding stream;
MOsses gather on the shingles,
1vies Chamber round the beams.
Now the wheel is stilled foyeeer,
Its tired pulse has ceased it's thrObbing,
And the brook that windeth by it
Has changed its singing unto sobbing.
Every year the roof sinks lower:
Soon the worn ont frame shall fall,
And the growing pines will sadly
Cast their shadows over all.

We may flourish, then decay;

Here is a romantic episode in quiet and
real life. A gentleman lived in Illinois,
about twelve years ago, whose name was
Warrington. His wife had u child, a girl,
but he was absent from the birth, and was
rightly served for such a reinissnrss by find
ing at his return tn his home that the spirit
Of his wife had fled. as had also his daugh-
ter, who, he thought. had been abducted
by the nurse. Twelve years passed, and
the gentleman went to Kansas, but on his
way was in q small town near Chicago,
where he saw little girl who, in form and
feature, closely resembled his wife. He
questioned her, followed her home, and
found that the person whom she supposed
to be her mother was the old woman who
had nursed bis wife during her last sick
ness. The lady manifested NO desire to re-
tain custody of the child, and the father
took her with him to the far-Off wilds where,
undoubtedly, she will grow up like Rosalie,
the Prairie Flower.
