You would be sitting now

Til! its golden hands had pointed out
The happicst hour OF your life;

The clock should no longer run,
You could not be sad and sick and old
If to wish and t" have were-one.
You are not here in the winter, my love,
The snow is not whirling down;
You are in the heart of the summer woods,
In your dear old seaside town;
a patter OF little feet in the leaves,
A beautiful boy ut your side:
He is gathering flowers in the shady nooks-
1t was but dream that he died!
Keep hold of his hands, and sing to him;
No mother under the sun
Has such seraphic child as yours
II to wish and to have are one.
.Methinks am with you there, dear wife,
In that old house by the sea;
have flown to you Us the bluebird flies
To his mate in the poplar.tree.
A sailors hammock hangs at the door,
You swing in it, book in hand;
A boat is standing in for the beach,
Its keel now CRATES on the sand;
Your brothers are coming-two manly men,
Whose lives have only begun;
Their days will be long in the land, dear
heart
If t. wish and to have are one.
If to wish and to have were one, ali me!
Iwould not be old and poor,
But Il young and prosperous gentleman,
With never u dun At the door;
There would be no past to bewail, my love,
There woulc be no future to dread;
Your brothers would be live men again,
And my boy would not be dead.
Perhaps it will all come right at last;
1t may be, when all is done,
We shall be together in some good world
Where to wish and to have are one

It may appear, strange to compare snow

Fire Incidents.

The tendency of the average person to
"lose his head" at fire was well illus
trated lately at Rutland, Vt. The Herald
thus enumerates:
A girl in one of the hotels, who was
absent during the first of the fire, came
rushing in when it was at its height, and
in breathless haste ran to her room. She
quickly seized hair brush, and, stufdng
it into her muff, started down stairs in
the same haste, leaving her trunk and
other valuables in the room.
Another, in her excitement, forgot her
little child, and left it to its fate. Two
courageous young men, however, amid
thick smoke, and in close proximity to
the flames, rushed upstairs and secured
the child.
"While one of the blocks was burning q
woman came downstairs with an old
cast-iron kettle in her hand, which she
chung to with great tenacity. On reach
ing the sidewalk she crossed the street,
walked along the side some distance, re-
crossed, walked along the sidewalk and
crossed back again, all the while care
fully carving the kettle. When she
crossed the last time she was accosted
by gentleman, who said: Madam,
what are you looking for?' She replied:
am looking for . place to put this
kettle down. The gentleman volunteered
to take it, and she left, perfectly salts
fed"

will see every cloud attracting all lesser

of two thousand dollars.

A Brakeman Saves q Careless Girls
Life.

Charles Crandall, brakeman on the
New York s. New Haven Railroad, saved
the life of Mary E. Jones, in Portchester,
recently, at the imminent risk of his own.
Miss Jones was crossing the track, when
she recognized an acquaintance in little
boy and stopped to talk with him. He
was not on the road-bed, but Miss Jones
stood on the track, which was trembling
with the approach of q Boston express
at full speed. A freight train stood on
the other track and the men were busy
switching cars on a side track. Crandall
was on freight car that was moving and,
hearing the express, shouted to Miss
Jones to get out of the way. She seemed
not to hear and continued her converse
ton.
Crandall jumped from the moving car
and ran toward the woman, who, too late
to save herself, saw her danger. II

said he afterward, in relating the story
to his friends, land knew that it must
be an awful quick try. She didn't see
me coming, but just looked over her

altogether with sort of shudder, and
whispered: I'm gone I heard that
whisper, and it seemed as if the engine
might have heard it, too. 1t was about
as near as I was. 1t was which
and 'tother between me and the express.
The girl put her hand to her face and
tottered backward. I just caught her
around the waist aud lugged her off the
track as the whole train scurried past.
