THE HEARTS GUESTS.

When age has cast its shadows
Der life's declining way,
And the evening twilight gathers
Round our departing day.
Then we shall sit and ponder
In the dim and shadowy past,
Within the hearts still chambers
The guests will gather fast.
The friends in youth we cherished
Shall come TO us once more,
Again to hold communion
Asi in the days of yore.
They may be stern and sombre-
They may be bright and fair
But the heart will have lis chambers,
The guests will gather there.
How shall it be, my sisters?
Who, then, shall be our guests2
How shall it be, my brothers,
When life's shadow on US rests2
Shall we not, midst the silence,
In accents soft and low,
Then hear familiar voices
And words of long ago2
Shall we not see dear faces,
Sweet smiling rs Of old,
Till the misis of that still chamber
Are sunset clouds Of gold
When age has cast its shadows
Der life's declining way,
And the evening twilight gathers
Round our departing day.

A THOUSAND DOLLARS LosT.-A wealthy
Williamsport gentleman became so much ut
tached 10 clergyman of that city that he
asked him to preach his funeral sermon, nc
matter where he might be. The pastor promi-
sed that no matter what the distance that sepa-
rated them or the difficulties that might be
placed between them he would when informed
of the death OF his old friend, drop all else and
hasten to the spot that was to be the last rest
ing place Of his mortal remains. The pastor
afterward removed into that vicinity, and n
short time ago received the sad announcement
that his friend was dead. Instead Of keeping
his promise he replied that he wa; unable TO be
present, as he could not close his church. etc
The funeral took place in due season, but the
pastor was not there TO perform the last sad
rites over the body of the departed friend. The
ceremonies ere performed by another, and
afterward, when the will was opened, it np
peared that the old man had been faithful in
DEATH as he was in life, and bequeathed one
thousand dollars 10 his old friend provided he
preached the funeral sermon .-LehiOh Gaztte

when the earthquake was grinding the top Of

This is a stumper to US who have been taught
