Old Mr.. Collamer, one OF the menu
6ers ofOur church, is extremely deaf.
Last Sunday, the clergyman, during
the sermon, had occasion To INTRODUCES
q quotation, AMI as il was quite long,
he brought the volume with him, and
when the time came, he picked up
the book and began 10 read from IL
We always sing the Old Hundred
dOxOiOgy after the sermon at cur
church, and Mr.. Collsmer, seeing the
pastor with the book, thought the
tine had come, 81 while the minister
was reading, he opened the hymn
book al the place. Just as the eIeT-
gyman laid the volume down, The
man next TO Mr.. COllamer began to
yawn, and Mr.. Collsmer, thinking
he was about to sing, Immediately
broke out into Old Hundred at the
top Of his voice. As the clergyman
was just about to begin with the "see-
Ondly,h and as there was OF course
perfect silence in the church, the ef-
feet Of Mr.. COllamer's vOciferatiOn
was startling. But the good old man
didn't notice that anything was the
matter, so he kept right on and sang
the entire verse. When be concln-
ded he observed that everybody else
seemed to be quiet, excepting few
who were laughing, so he
leaned over and said out loud to
the man who yawned, whats
the matter with this congregation,
anyhow? Why don't they go homer
The man turned scarlet, and the per-
spirstion brokeOut ali over him, for he
felt that the eyes of the congregation
were upon him, and he knew that he
would have to yell in order to make
Mr. Collamer hear. So he touched
his lips with his finger, as a sign for
the old man 70 keep quiet. But SIR.
COllamer misunderstood the motion.
''GOin' to sing another hymn, hey
All right" and he began to FUN ble his
hymn-bOOk again. Then the sexton
sailed up the isle, and explained mat
teTs out loud to Mr.. COllamer, and
that gentleman subsidized while the
minister proceeded with his discourse.
The elders have written Mr.. COllamer
note requesting him in the future
not to join in the sacred harmony,
The effect is too appalling upon the
ribaid boys in the gallery.-Mar Adet-

PATIENCE DOW.
BY MARION DOUGLAS.


Home from the mill came Patience Dow;
She did not smile, she would not talk;
And now she was all tears, and now
AS fierce as captive hawk
Unmindful of the faded gown,
She sat with folded hands all day,
Her long hair falling tangled down,
Her sad eyes gazing far away,
Where, past the fields, a silver line,
She saw the distant riyer shine.
But, " hen she thought herself alone,
One night, they heard her muttering low,
In such chilli despairtng tone,
It seemed the east winds sullen moan:
"Ah me! the days, they move so slow!
1 care not II they're fair or foul;
They creep elong-lknow not now;
! only know he loved me once
He does not love me now"
One morning, vacant was her room,
And, in the clover wet with dew,
A narrow line OF broken bloom
Showed some one had been passing through
And, following the track, II led
Across a field OF summer grain,
Out where the thorny blaekberries shed
Their blossoms in the narrow lane,
Down which the cattle went TO drink
Iu Summer, from the rivers brink.
ssThe river" Hope within them sank;
The fatal thought that dIew her there
They knew, before. among the rank,
White-blossomed weeds upon the bank,
they found the shawl she used 70 wear,
And on II pinned little note:
H0h, blame me noti'' it read, .sfor when
To hint he cannot leave me theni
/ know noti it's right or wrong
l go from nfe-I care not how,
1 only know he loved me once "a.
He does not love me now!'
In the farm graveyard, meath the black
Funereal pine-trees on the hill,
The poor. worn form the stream gave back
They laid in slumber, cold and still.
Her secret slept With her; none knew
Whose fickle smile had left the pain
Her vision-haunted, wandering brain,
Secure from all, hid safe from blame,
In life and death had kept his name.
Yet often with a thrill OF fear,
Her mother, as she lies awake
At night, VIII fancy she can hear
A voice whose tone is like the drear
Low sound the graveyard pine trees make
81 know not If tits right or wrong
I go from nfe-I care not how;
1 only know he loved me once
he does not love me now !"

Dead. Not Forgotten.

AT length she turned away, aud,
walking thoughtfully through the
graveyard, came Unexpectedly upon
the schoOlmaster, who was sitting on
green grave in the sun, reading.
Nell here?n he said eheerfully. As
be closed his book. ''It does me good
10 see you in the air and light. I fear
ed you were again in the church,
where you so often are"
'Feared.r replied the child, sitting
down beside him as it not a good
place ~
"Yes, yes" said the sehoOImaster.
But you must be gay sometimes.
Nay, don't shake your head and smile
so sadly"
''Not sadly, if you know my heart.
Do not look at me as il you thought
me sOrrovful. There il not a happier
creature on the earth than am now.
Full Of grateful tenderness, the child
took his hand aud folded il between
her own.
'Tt's Gods will p she said, when
they had been silent for some time.
fWhat ?''
''All this" she reioined-"all this
about Us. But which of us is sad now?
You see that am smiling"
"And so am J, - said the sehoolmas-
ter; smiling to think how often we
shall laugh in this same place. Were
you not talking yonder 81
YES" the child rejOined.
"Of something that has made you
sOrrowful 81
There was long pause.
"What was it ?" said the sehOOimas-
ter tenderly. .'COme tell me what 1t
was"
'I rather grieye-I do rather grievs
70 think," " said the child bursting into
tears, 'that those who die about us
are so soon forgotten"
"And do you think" said the
schooimaster, marking the glance she
had thrown around, THAT an unvisi-
ted grave, 3 withered tree, a faded
flower or two are tokens of forgetful-
ness or cold neglect? Do you think
there are no deeds, far away from
here, in which these dead may be best
remembered? Nell, Nell, there may
be busy people in this world, at this
instant, in whose good actions and
good thoughts these very graves-ne-
elected as they look To us-Rre the

"Tell me no mOre,n said the child
quickly. "Tell me no more, l feel,

fui of it when 1 thought OF you ?'

.PecnnIarr Denendents., /,

We heard a bright and beautiful
woman lecture the other evening.
Whatever might be the preference Of
some with regard to the place where
woman may most pleasantly lecture,
whether, as in old-fashioned days, in
the psrlOr or, as in new-iashiOned
times, on the platform, there could be
but one opinion concerning this par
tienlar lecture. She was as fairas a
lily and as modest, and from her lips
dropped pearls and diamonds of wis
dom. But she said accidentally 3
thing that was neither wise nor true.
She spoke of wives as ''peeuniary de-
peRdents."
A dependent is q person who re-
ceives a bounty without making an
adequate return. No wife does this.
II she flis the honored place of wife
and mother, she as truly and as really
earns her living as if she went out TO
LABOR in the field or in the shop. She
earns very much more too than her
mere living. She is equally with her
husband a partner in the profits Of his
daily labor, and has equally with him
a right to say how they shall be spent
or to advise as to their investment. 1t
may well be that she may not insist
upon this right, preferring in her
wifeIy love to trust to her husband,
who has the wider experience anc
the larger knowledge of affairs, the
eare of their common fund, and not
the private property Of either. The
wife who bushes in a shaae-faced
way every time she asks her husband
for money, and vino feels as if she
must give an account of her steward
ship every time that her purse is
empty, is in a false position. The
husband who gives grudgingly and as
for charity money to his wife which
is to go, as it usually does, to pay
household bills and clothe the chill
dren, is in false position. Hers is
undignified, his is unmanly.
OF course there are hundreds OF
homes in which this money question
never comes up at all, for the reason
that from the beginning there has
been confidence and regard and JUS
tice on both sides. There has been
no thought of donor or donee. But
there are thousands of others il which
this question is q source of continual
pain. The wife has only vague no.
tion of what the yearly income is.
The husband with careful reticence
keeps his affairs to himself. Under
these conditions she is working in the
dark, and has no means of measuring
her expenses, or knowing whether
she may be lavish or must be
frugal. Thus she. is wronged,
since she certainly has her full
share in the work to be done.
She, in rearing the children, in man
aging the house, in making the house
q place where good men and good wo-
men are being trained and developed
out of the crude material OF boys and
girls, is doing a very noble work. She
could not do it alone so well. Her
husband, as he praises her in the
gates, as the way Of good husbands is,
says that he could not do it alone at all.
By virtue of her title and Office of
wife and mother she holds brevet
rank among women, and is entitled
to the highest honors. She cannot be
pecuniary dependent, IL words
mean anything.-Hedrth and Home.

The following tribute to Abraham
Lincoln, in the form of an epitaph,
appeared originally in the Buffalo
Express on Monday, April II, 1S6 5. 1t
was written on the day following his
assassination by Mr.. j. y. Larned,

italy as first composed:
TO THE MEMORY OF
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA,
Who died Martyr to his Country,
Failing by the hama Of q traitOrous as
sdSsil,
On the night of the 18th day of April,
1855,
Which was the fourth anniversary OF
the beginning of the great war
of rebellion,
Through which he led the nation to a
glorious triumph,
Just completed, when the dastardly
revenge of
his monstrOuS murder.
The great republic loved him as It's
father, and reVered him as the pre-
server of its national life. The op-
pressed people of all lands looked up
10 him as the anointed of liberty, and
hailed in him the consecrated leader
of her cause. He struck the chains OF
slavery from four millions of de-
spised race, and lifted them to erect
ness among their fellow-men.
By his wisdom, his prudence, his
calm temper, his steadfast patience,
his lofty courage and his loftier faith,
he sayed the republic from dissOlu-
ton; by his simple integrity he Illus
trated the neglected principles Of its
constitution, and restored them to
their Just ascendancy; by all the re-
suits of his administration of its gov
ernment he inaugurated a new era in
the history of mankind.
The wisdom of his craftsmanship
was excelled only by his virtuousness.
Exercising power which surpassed
that of kings, he bore himself always
as the servant of the people, and new
er as their master.
Too sincere in the simplicity OF his
nature to be affected by an elevation
TO be proudest among human digni'
ties, he stands in the ranks of the il
lustrious OF all time as the puTest ex-
emplar of Democracy. While good
ness is beloved, and great deeds are
remembered, the world will never
cease to revere his name and memory
