Little Hester Maynard was walking
slowly up the hill toward the open cottage
door. Looking up she saw lady in buff
dress standing near the doorway. A
brightness came into her eyes and she
fastened on, and ran into the yard some
what out of breath. She had been to the
village store to order and pay for the gro
ceries for the week, to buy also needles,
cotton, and ribbons, and to make a call
and leave a message. No little girl in the
village loved to do errands as well as Hes

MUSlc AND MEM0RY.

Music, once wand'rin3 through the heart,
Upon a summers day.,
Found Memory sleeping by grave
Fast falling to decay.
Whispering, she touched tho stu1nberes,
Soft as the pale moons be.m;
Then spread her wings and passed away,
As vaQfShes dream- "
Memory awoKe, and, ustning, heard
Tho rust1ing winga 50 by;
Then, weeping, rawed where she had Slept
And oh i1ow bitterly!
But ah those tears were sacred ones,
For flowers long died away,
Beneath that chEisnnl shower did bloom
And beautify decay.
And now no dearcr spot is there,
For Memory loves to,twine
The greenest offerings Of the heart
Around that sacred shrine.
