Turning the knob hurriedly he wheeled i'm

ny JULIA MAY WILLIAMSON.
Night settles over earth, and cold and chill
The wind comes sweeping Ger the shadowsd hills
And We, in imitation Of the night,
Draw close the curtains on the gloomy sight
Shut out her presence from our psaSsfsl home
Within its precincts lei no shadows come.
As night has hung her lanterns in the skies,
SO let the glmmer Of our lamp arise;
Fit emblem Of tho feeble strength OF man,
To initiate Jehoyah's mighty plan.
Kindle upon the hearth the glowing ERE,
Warm as the hearts most unrsstrained desire,
And let the flames Of holy love and truth
Find in our hearts the boon Of endless youth.
The evening hours with footsteps flying fast,
Are written on the records Of the past.
The lamp burns low, and mem'ry brings her part
The prize or blank won for the head or heart.
The rich experience bought with many tears,
The hopOs that ft us for the flight Of years,
Are on those pages Of the book Of life.
Whose lines We cherish through our worldly strife
And looking on the records Of the day,
l know more fully tall must pass away"
All Joy, all sorrow, all material things k-
Are like the butterfly with painted wings.
Yet naught is lost all natures forms decay
No longer wear the hues Of yesterday. ".. p
But still each in Its season decks the earth
With all the beauties of higher birth.
Then may my lamp burn low at eventids,
To ind new radiance on the other side;
Or, like the candle flames that nightly burn,
Yield from afnotlon's fires 9 pure return.

The dear little circle Of children that gathered
Around the old homestead at Christmas, each year,
Is broken forever. sweet child much treasured
Has LEFT US lameuted with many tear.
How Oft to the parents, bowed down In their sorrow
These words repeated, "'Tis well with the ehd.
But hearts rent like Raohels comfort borrow,
When home is bereft, aud when joy Is exilsd.
Methinks cen the flowers in the woodlands will miss
her,
SO joyful she welcomed their coming each springs
No more bounding forth with her dear little sister
Her sweet, childlikO voice will in merrinSnt ring.
Goodbye, little Gertie Long shall we regret thee,
Though thy innocent soul has 80 early gone home
Thy parents and playmAtes can never forget thee,
Till unto the waters Of death they shall come.

SILENT MEALs-From time immemorial
almost, it has been taught by all writers on
health that hearty laugh is promotive Of
digestion; hence, people have been exhorted
to cultivate sOniAbility at meals, 10 engage
in cheerful conversation and laughter, and
by all means to avoid eAtiOg in silence.
Recently, we are told by a writer who
seems DESTROYS Of gaining notoriety by max
ing startling statements that meal to be
we'll eaton and digested must be taken in
silence. He believes in the Bible doctrine,
Whatsoever thy hand 6udeth to do, do it
with thy might" aud so would have US
devote our whole attention to the matter of
eating while engaged in taking food.
