stood by the stream where the wild roses grew,
In the green bloom Of summer, when Nature looked
new,
And thought OF the time when roamed there with
you,
II the beautiful years Of our love.
We were poor, but the pearl Of affection ours,
And we loved the glad world, with It's sunbeams and
showers;
All Life was wayside Of fountains aud flowers,
In the beautiful years OF our love.
There are isles in llfes cannot forget,
Till the light Of its in the willow has set,
Aud our spirits must turn with the longing regret
To the beautiful years Of our love;
For we dreamed Of the pleasure, aud not the woe
That time or the scenes Of the future might throw,
And we hoped for the Joys that we should know
In the beautiful years Of our love.
As an exile looks back from the waves Of the deep
To the blue-fading hills where his forefathers sleep
o! thus when the waves Of the tempest shall sweep
Ger the beautiful years Of our love,
win souls from the future look backward through
tears
To the shore where the spendor Of youth disappears
And weep for the light Of those time-buried years
Tho beautiful years Of our love.

A CODE OF POLITE MANNERS IN TRAY
ELING.-The New York Times discusses
the subject of the established rules of et-
quette among passengers on railroads.
One point, it says, is the absolute necessl-
ty, under these rules, for every well-bred
lady and gentleman getting, if possible, a
place next the window. For this purpose
= any amount of hustling or rushing or jost-
ling is not only allowable, but highly COM
mendabe. When the place is Sc
cured, the next thing to be done is 10 scowl
irightfully at any one who attempts TO take
the other half of the seat. Some travellers
prefer to put leather bag, or some sort OF
package, down next to them, and look out
of the window. But this, though formerly
regarded as the height of etiquette, appears
now to be little out of date, aud is princi-
pally practised by plain people from the
rural districts. The scowl is at present con-
sidered much more elegant.
Any attempt to converse with you by a
stranger should be instantly repelled.
Especially is this the case when an indi-
vidual, not acquainted with the part of the
country through which the cars are passing,
manifests a desire to obtain information
about it. All inquiries on such points
should be treated as personal impertinen-
ces.
If a person has an immense valise, il
should be set carefully in the aisle, with an
umbrella stuck transversely through The
handle.
If any one slumbles over the bsrrlcade
thus erected, no apologies should on any
account be offered but the umbrella shou Id
be ostentatiously opened to see if any OF
its ribs are broken.
The general principles of etiquette in rail-
road travelling may be, the editor thinks,
without difficulty, gathered from these few
Illustrations. They consist simplyin every
one tai ing care of himself, and maniiestine
on all occasions the utmost disregard foI
the comfort and convenience of every one
else.
