Only n Woman.

Only n woman shriveled and old
The play of the winds and the prey OF the cold
Cheeks that are shrunken,
Eyes that are sunkcn,
Lids that were never o'cr bold,
Only woman forsaken and pr or,
Asking an arms ut the bronze church door.
Hark to the organ roll upon roll
The waves of the music 60 over her soul
Silks rustic past her
Thicker and faster,
The great bell ceases its toll
Fain would she enter, but for the poor
Swngeth wide open the bronze church door.
Only woman-waiting alone,
Icily cold on an ice-cold throne,
What do they care for hcri
Mumbhng prayer for her,
Giving not bread, but stone.
Under old laces their naughty hearts beat,
Mocking the woes of their kin in the street.
Only womanl In the old days
Hope caroed to her her happiest lays;
Somebody missed her,
Somebody kissed her,
Somebody crowned her with praise;
Somebody faced up the battles of life
Strong for her sake who was mother, or wife.
Somebody lies with a tress of her hair
Light on his heart where the death shadows are !!
Somebody waits for her,
Opening the gates for her,
Giving delight for despair.
Only woman-nevermore poor
Dead in the snow ut the bronze church door.

gone over to take tea with their
grandmother, who lived in beau
tiful cottage about mile away, on
the other side of the river. Mr..
Luther, the master was lounging
in an easy chair on the vine cover
ed porch, reading the papers; and
l sat by the open window, reading
and rocking, and part of the
time half asleep.
Not word had been spoken for
half an hour, and ] vas just enter
ing the land of Moo again, when I
was thoroughly reused by an ex-
pletive from Mr.. Luther, which l
shall not here repeat.
"What is the matter?" 1 called
putting my head out of the win
dow.
"Oh, nothing" he replied, "but
one of those filings at mans moth
er-in-law. Just listen to this I"
And he read as follows from the
columns of the city daily, which
he received regularly:
81 met Dusenbury this morning
on the street, and he was rubbing
his hands and chuckling, and kick
ing up his heels at such rate that
he did not see me till I slapped
him on the back and enquired into
the cause of his exceeding hilar-
ity. 'Oh, Tom = he's cried,-'such
news-such news o man gets but
once in a lifetime ! My moth
in-law was coming down for a
month, and the train ran off the
track and smashed up q few cars,
and my poor, dear mother-in-law
has gone where the woodbine
twineth, and I'm hurrying home to
carry the news to Sarah !"
Mr.. Luther crumpled up his pa
per and said:
"An editor who win print such
a paragraph in his columns ought
to be hanged, and any man who
is capable Of writing such lines
ought to be burned at the stake !"
"You speak rather. strongly"
said. "Most men would laugh
heartily, and agree with the writer.
To speak Of mother-in-law Is the
signal for coarse jokes and bolster
Gus mirth, from men Of all grades
81 know It," he answered, "and
I'm ashamed to confess the time
has been when l would have done
the same. I've done quite as bad
II not worse ; but II ever a man
was punished for thinking and
speaking lightly Of q wife's mother
Il is L.
