No Time Like the Old Time.
There Is no time like the old time,
when you and were young,
when the buds OF April blossomed,
And the birds Of spring-time sung.
The garden's brightest glories
BY summer suns are nursed,
But oh, the sweet, sweet violets,
The flowers that open hrsti
There is no place like the old place,
where you and were born,
where We lifted first our eye-lids
On the splendors Of the morn,
From the milk-white breasts that warmed US,
From the elingng arms that bore,
Where the dear eyes glistened DER us,
That will look for US no more!
There is no friend like the old friend
That has shared our morning days,
No greeting like his welcome,
No homage like his praise;
Fame is the scentless sunAower,
With gAudy crown Of gold;
But friendship is the breathing rose,
With sweets In every fold.
There Is no love like the old love
That we couTted in our pride;
Though our leaves are falling, falling,
And we're fading side by side,
There arc blossoms all around u,
With the colors Of our dawn,
And We live in borrowed sunshine,
When the light OF day is gone.
There are no times like the old times
They shall never be forgotl
There is no place like the old place
Keep green the dear old spoti
There are no friends like our old friends
May Heaven prOlong their livesl
There are no loves like our old loves
God bless our loving wives!

BRATTLEBORO, VT, FRIDAY, JUNE 1s, 1875.

"Ohi my child, come to me" he said,
"and l will make you so happy"
The soul within her eyes seemed TO start
back from him.
"Come to you - she repeated wondering
ly, with a half smile upon her lips.
"Como 10 me, yes; for ever, Lschen,
he me wife,"
Suddenly she snatched her hands away
and covered her face with them, turning
aside from him. He rose slowly, and
strove to comfort her; but he was timid,
as man must be when he loves his first
love truly, and tries TO win her. There
seemed to be some great struggle in her
heart, for she was trembling violently. At
last, she turned; he was wOnderstruck at
the deep bliss in her look but though
there was u thrill in her voice as some
times in her singing, she did not lose her
quiet dignity Of address.
"You are very good TO me-" she said, in
he idiom Of her country;s land am too
good 10 you to let you marry poor girl,
when you might have some grand lady
who could make you happy"
-Ou I1lSCueIlg w you uOI kuONi tueHi
that for every man there is but one woman
in the world who can make him happy,
and you are that one for me. l want you,
nothing else"
The poor jug stood, running over; nc
one needed ii; nightingale sang, though
II was day, and little blossoms from the
trees fell at the feet of the lovors, but
Mother Muller had to wait and cool her
anger as she might, for no Lischen came
back with the water for an hours time
And when she came, il was as if the pale
and green bud, close shut and unheeded
had suddenly opened in the morning sun
shine into the grand white lily, like glory
of purity and perfection.
In the Schweigerthal there is a little
graveyard, and therein stands a cross o
marble, with this inscription:

SCIENCE No MORE REAL THAN RRLI-
GIoN.-Science no more than religion can
claim TO build on reality. For what is
realityf Who will prove it? Do not all
proofs refer us at least 10 subjective tests
Sensible experience is no more proof of
reality than spiritual experience. The sci
enlist builds on sensible experience.
He claims for that experience an answer
ing reality; he supposes a world external
to himself, corresponding to his sensations.
But the existence of such a world is O
mere hypothesis. Profoundest thinkers
have called II a vulgar prejudice-a preju-
dice with which confess l am somewhat
infected. But when we come to demon
stratidu, there is'absolutely none. A con-
venient working theory for scientific and
daily use that is the best we can say of it.
The religionist builds on spiritual ex-
perience. He claims for that experience
an answering reality he supposes God
external to himself as well as internal; an
intelligent will over ill, corresponding
with the voice in his soul. Such being is
not demonstrable in a scientific sense.
There is no mathematical demonstration of
it but surely we can say of it, and the
least we can say of it, is, that II is good
working theory for spiritual uses, those
uses without which man, with all his en-
dowments, is little better than the brute.
The being of God is.incapable of demon
stration, but the existence Of an external
world is equally so. Nay, think more
SO; would sooner undertake to demon
OF oin ha than ha laiiar 20 "a
from inferring the being of God from an
external world, as theologans have at
tempted to do, 1 need the belief in God to
assure the existence of things without.

eventful days. Just beyond is Cambridge
Common, with its granite monument in
memory of the men of Cambridge who fell
in the recent war. Opposite the Common
is the ancient burying-ground, where,
among the good and great of earlier and
later days, lie FIVE men who found patriot
graves in the first year of the revolutionary
War. Across the way rise the red walls Of
Harvard College. On this side of The his.
toric tree towers the tall spire OF the church
which bears the name of Thomas Shepard,
the first minister OF Cambridge. At the
summit OF the spire stands the renowned
cockerel who in 1921 assembled TO his lofly
station upon the "New Brick Church" in
Hanover Street, Boston, and who from that
eminence for hundred and 6ity years
looked down upon the shifting scenes of
peace and war. He mark ed the entrance
OF the British ships into Boston harbor;
through the mist of evening ho overlooked
the destruction of the tea he heard the
muffled sound of the English oars on the
night of the night of 18th Of April; he
caught the light of the twin lamps which
hung on
1.-THE belfry-tower Of the Old North Church,
As rose above the graves on the hill,
Lonely and spectral and sombre and still"
he listened to the roar of cannon and mus
kerry at The battle of Bunker Hill and saw
the flames which made Charlestown des-
olation. Now he surveys the peaceful field,
the busy streets, the pleasant homes, the
churches, the schools, the college, and
keeps his restless watch above the WASH
ington Elm.
This tree is believed TO be the survivor
of the primeval forest. Its size bears wit
ness to its great age its trunk is more than
six feet in diameter, and it is nearly one
hundred feet in height. and ninety feet in
the spread OF lis branches. Notwithstand-
ing its antiquity, the tree is full of life aud
strength and while it has lost some of its
branches, it retains its graceful form. Very
many souvenirs have been made from its
wood, and the pulpit in the chapel of the
neighboring church is partly constructed
from one of its limbs, which was necessari-
ly removed. Through the generosity of a
clergyman an iron fence has been placed
around the tree. Visitors from all lands
come with interest TO the spot, gaze into
the spreading branches, and account them
selves happy if they can bear away twig
as a sacred token. On thick granite slab
is this inscription -

Sleep on thine eyes, peace in thy breast;
white-limb'd lady, lie at rest;
Near thy easement, shrill Of cry,
Broods the owl with luminous eye.
Midnight comes all fair things sleep,
While all dark things vigil keep;
Round thy sleep thy scented bower
Foldeth like lily. flower.
All so still around thee lies,
Peace in thy breast, sleep on thy eyes
All without is dark as death,
And thy lover wakeneth.
Underneath thy hover pace,
stsr-dew sparkling on my face;
All around me, swift Of sight,
Move the creatures Of the night.
Hark, the great owl cries again,
With an echo in the brain,
And the dark Earth in her sleep
stirs and trembles, breathing deep.
Sleep on thine eyes, peace in thy breasti
Fold thy hands and take thyrett.
All the night, till morning break,
Spirits walk and lovers wake.
Sleep sweet, beloved ono, sleep sweet
without here night is growing,
The dead leaf falls, the dark boughs meet,
And chill wind is blowing.
Strange shapes are stirring In the night
To the deep breezes' wailing,
And slow, with wistful CLEANS Of light,
The storm-tost moon is sailing.
Sleep sweet, beloved one, sleep sweet!
Fold thy white hands, my blossoml
Thy warm limbs in thy lily-sheet,
Thy hands upon thy bosom.
Though evil thoughts may walk the dark,
Not one shall near thy chamber,
But dreams divine shall raufe to mark
Singing to lutes Of amber.
Sleep sweet, beloved one, sleep sweet!
Though on thy bosom creeping,
Gods hand is laid to feel the beat
OF thy soft heart in sleeping.
The brother angels, Sleep and Death,
stoop by thy couch and eye thee;
Ard Sleep stoops down 10 drink thy breath,
While Death goes softly by theel
