To Memory Dear.
There's a mossy, shady valley,
Where the waters wind aud fow,
Il. L., x..fat.r

There's mossy, shady valley,
Where the waters wind aud flow,
And the daisies sleep In winter
Meath a covcilet Of sn,w;
And violcts, blue eyed v.olets,
Bloom in beauty in the SPRING.;
Aud the sunbcams kiss the wavelets
Till they seem to laugh aud sing.
But in Autumn, when the sunlight
Crowns the cedar covered hill,
Shadows darken in the valley,
Shadows ominous and still;
And the yellow leaves, like banners
Of an eltu's h,st that's fed.
Lined with gold and royal purple.
Flutter sadly overhead.
And these shadows, gloomy shadows,
Like dim phantoins on the ground,
Stretch their dreary length forever
On daisy covered mound.
And | loved hcr-ycs, loved her;
But the angels loved her too;
So she's sleeping in the valley
Meath tho sky 50 bright and blue.
And no slab Of pallij marble
Kears its white and ghastly head,
Telling wanderers in the valley
OF the virtues Of the dead;
Buta lily is her tombstone,
Aud dewdrop pure and bright
Is the epitaph an angel wrote
In the stiffness Of the night.
And I'm mournful, very mournful,
For my soul doth ever crave
For the fading of the shadows
From the little woodland grave;
For the memory Of tho loved one
From my soul will never part,
And those shadows in the valley
Dim the sunshine Of my heart.

The story Of Nast's career, as told by the
New York correspondent of the Chicago

He showed his drawings to Berghaus and
TO Sol Eytinge who is one OF four most

men, and who was at that time with
Leslie; and they, seeing there was really
something in the boy, then eleven years
old, advised him to continue in his efforts
to convince his father that he could earn
more money as an artist than musician.
Thommy Mast entered Frank Lesie's
employ, and was ASST gned desk between
Berghaus aud Eytiuge, which two thor

Mast all the regular instruction he had
ever had. The young artist more than
kept his word; in less than a year he
could earn not $40, but thrice that, on
Lestie's paper alone. besides making as
much more on outside work. His father
lived to see that his son was right, and
