FARM AND FIRESlDE.
called by the Angels.

The farmers wife is sitting alone
In the dusk Of q winters day,
While over the hills the shadows fall,
: And over the meadows gray,
And the cares Of many busy hour
steal fast from her heart away.
Her eves have wandered through mist Of tears
To the ehurch-yard under the hill,
Where the snow, like the wings OF brcoding
dove,
Lies soft snd pure and still.
And where her treasures 10 long ago.
she laid at the Masters viii
And sh how of ne the days go by,
She starts, as her listening ear
Has almost caught en- the passing breeze,
Voices sweet and clear.
"'ris the angels calling" she thinks. " All me,
II Is weary waiting here"
The farmer from his work, at last,
In the dusk Of winter sdsy,
And be sits him down by his faithful wife,
And she parts his locks so gray,
And looks In his face With loving smile
That years never steal away
And back again a. her dim eyes turn
TO the hill where tho shadows fall,
She thinks, "My treasures are lying there,
But lie has not taken all,
since one Is waiting beside me still
Till the angels voices call"
But the weeks are slow and the aged two,
In the dusk OF many a Jay.
Will watch the shadows come and 90
Ger the meadows cold and grsy,
Ere they, at the Masters will may lie
Where their treasures are laid away.

The High Toned Tramp.

Last week a gentleman residing in a
neat, modest cottage in the suburbs
caught tramp prowling about his back
yard, evidently trying to steal some
thing.
Why don't you come TO the front
door if you want anything" Indignantly
roared the proprietor.
That's what was looking for" was
the impudent reply.
Didn't you see 1T on the other side OF
the house % retorted the gentleman.
How was to know that wss the front
doorw No silver door'plate, no bell,
no telephone, no statuary, no servant, to
take your hat and cane. Tell your boss
there is a gentleman out here who is
waiting for his breakfast"
When the gentleman got back with
his shotgun the tramp was not there any
more. San 1ntOnio Herald.

A Romantic Tale.

A delicious love idyl comes from
Wayne county, Ky. A stalwart young
Kentuckian of knightly bearing, pass
ing through Monticello street ten years
ago, WAS noticed by young girl sitting
ut the window of the most sristocratie
house OF the town, and she fell in love
with him at first sight. She had wealth,
culture and beauty; he was poor with
only his splendid physique and in
trepid spirit and was then on his way
to seek his fortune as cattle-herder in
Texas. There he soon rose to be pro-
prietor OF q rancho, and took his money
to California and hunted for gold.
After many ups and downs, fortune
favored him, and he found himself the
owner of a silver mine at Silver City,
New Mexico. The girl, meanwhile,
had bloomed into rarely beautiful
woman, had developed unusual literary
ability, and become a contributor t.
the Apostolic Times, the organ of the
Reformed church published at Lexipg
ton. BY some means the girl had
learned who the unconscious object OF
her fancy was, and, though he had never
seen her, the two conesponded through
out the ten years She never wrote word
OF her personal attractions nor family,
nor did he speak of his good fortune he
had a mind well stored with judiciou'
reading, and their correspondence WA
