GRANDMOTHER.

,Nonest roses in the sunset glow,
Ere the white arum's cup Of snow
Had closed.
Grandmother sat, content to see
THE beauty round her; or maybe
She calmly dozea.
She. with grandchildren round her path,
Finding in life sweet aftermath,
Grew young;
Ord voices surged upon the breeze,
That over days remote from these
A spell had hung.
Whilst golden sunbeams danced in space,
Calling up many sunny place
OF old;
Or here and there a cloudy blot,
That blurred the skies, or darkened spot
In memory told.
Yet dark and light so blent that they
Made pictures fair Of summer day:
Nor woke
The shadows aught that grief miabt bring,
For Time smoothed DER with gentle wing
Each harsher stroke.
The pasts wild sobs were hushed, for age
Clear read Gods writing on the page
Once dim;
And eartb's declining days waxed pale
In the light shining through The veil
That hides from Him.
In a fair bordered- land she seems;
Behind, before, world Of dreams,
All peace;
And doubts that had perplexed her youth
And settled into simple truth
And fears surcease.
Maude waiting wonders. In her eyes
To age time Of darkened skies
Is given,
Strained silver cord, and hushed life long
Ave, Maude, but chant of angel throng
Is nigh-in heaven"

LITTLE do women care for wit, or
beauty, or true merit; they acknowledge
them, but only with their lips. 81 like
him"-that is the word which says every
thing and carries all before it. Very
much like the choice of hat or ribbon:
=" like it." This phrase means she finds
some secre. harmony, some keen delight,
the satisfaction of some strange personal
desire, extreme, eccentric, even. 30 an
easy carriage, fresh gloves, a gay, witty
phrase, penetrating tone of voice have
each their influence; in short, the style
of cookery best suited to her palate in
word: 81 like cherries, ! take cher
ries. "-7dine.

The last retreating rays of light had
faded behind the parsons quaint resi-,
dence and now that I had noneht that
related to her to look upon, | closed the
sash and retired for the night. .
NV sleep was a troubled one, ana
every now and then would awaken
with start, and glare around me, eX
pecting to be confronted by something
terrible--.I knew not what. The storm

elements seeming to combine in an ef'
fort to shake the earth to its centre.

fell into heavy sleep.
How long / had slept | do not know,

ing at my door. | sprang from my
couch, and was about to open it, when
the iron hinges suddenly gave way, and
a stream of men poured pell-mell into
my room. At their head was the sheriff
of the county. OF him ] demanded
sternly the meaning Of the intrusion /;
but his only reply was lyon are
my prisoner
They manacled me with heavy gives
and hurried me through the streets of
the town-streets thronged with excited
people who denounced me as mur-
derer, and threatened to tear me to
pieces. When | reached the jail ! was
informed that had been arrested for
the murder of the parsons daughter,
who was found that morning in the
garden, contiguous to the parsonage, in
most horrible condition, and stone
dead.

trial which followed, and upon the re,

suffice to say that my alibl was fully

had fled.
He is fleeing yet, and ever will, until
he is summoned to appear before that

The fruit crop in Southern Indiana
is killed by the late freeze. The orchards in
the highlands do not escape.
The earnings Of the Union Pacific

crushed, the inmates barely escaping with

The warm days have hatched and re-
vealed myriad Of grasshoppers in all the
counties OF the northwest. Considerable ap'
prehension is felt on account Of the fact. The
hope of the farmers is, that they may take

WHAT SHE THOUGHT.

Marion showed me her wedding gown
And her veil Of gossamer lace Tonight
And the orange blooms that tomorrow morn
Shall fade In her soft hairs golden light,
But Philip came to the open door;
Like the heart OF o Wild rose glowed her chCek,
And they wandered OF through the garden path
So blessed that they did not care to SPEAK.
| wonder how II seems to be loved;
To know you are fair IN some ones eyes
That upon some one your beauty dawus
Every day as new surprise.
To know that whether you weep or smile,
Whether your mood be grave or gay,
Somebody thinks You all the while
Sweeter than any flower Of May!
| wonder what 1t would be TO love-
That, think, would be swceter far
To know that one out Of all the world
Was lord of your life, your king, your star
They talk of loves sweet tumult and pain;
am not sure that understand,
Thoughts thrill ran down TO my hnRer-tp',
Once when-somebOdy-t touched my hahd,
wonder what it would be to dream
OF child that might one day be your own,
OF the hidden springs of your life part;
Flesh of your flesh, and bone OF your bone.
Marion stopped one day to kiss
A beggars babe with tender grace,
While some sweet thought like prophecy,
Looked from her pure Madonna face,
/ wonder what il must be to think
Tomorrow will be your wedding day,
And, IN the radiant sunset glow,
Down fragrant, howery paths to stray,
Az Marion does this blessed night
With Philip, lost in blissin dream,
Can she feel his heart through the silence beat?
Does he see her eyes in the starlight CLEAN?
Questioning thus, my days go on,
But never an answer comes to me;
All loves mysteries, sweet as strange,
Sealed away from my life must be.
Yet still dream. o heart OF mine!
Of beautiful city that lies afar
And there, sometllAe suall drop the ma X,
And be shapeiy and fair az others are
