Called by the Angels.

The farmers wife is sitting alone
In the dusk of winters day,
While over the hills the shadows fall
And over the meadows gray,
And the cares of many a busy hour
Steal fast from her heart away.
Her eyes have wandered through mist of tears
To the church, yard under the hill,
Where the snow, like the wings of a brooding dov
Lies soft and pure and STILL
And where her treasures so.long ago,
She laid at the Masters will
And ah ! how oft, the days go by,
She starts, her listening ear
Has almost caught on the passing breeze
Voices so sweet and clear.
"'Tis the angels calling!" she thinks. "Ah me
1t is weary waiting here.'
The farmer comes from his work, at last
In the dusk of a winters day,
And he sits him down by his faithful wife.
And she parts his locks gray,
And looks in his face with a loving smile
That years steal never away.
And back again, as her dim eyes turn
To the hills where the shadows fall,
She thinks, my treasures are lying there.
But He 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 day,
viii watch the shadows come and go
Ger the meadows cold and gray,
Fer they, at the Masters will, may lie
Where their treasures are laid away.

How to Have Pleasant Winters.

The cold weather is supposed to be
largely due to a stream of Arctic water
that sweeps down the straits of Bellisle,
passage some twelve miles wide be-
tween Labrador and Newfoundland. 1t
is proposed to close this strait. 1t is a
gigantic and costly engineering project,
but supposed to be within human
means. We can suggest better plan
for getting rid of all that is disagreeable
in oul New England winters. Nearly
all that is unpleasant comes from the
snow. We have plenty of bright sunny
days II winter that would be delight
full, but for the snow, and the warmer
it is when snow covers the ground, the
more damp, chilly and raw it is, owing
to the evaporation. Snow is our only
trouble. The absence of it has given
us the most charming December on
record. We see, now, exactly what is
needed. To keep out the snow, we
have only to roof over New England
Hartford COurant.

Weary.

Written by Mrs. Matte Z. Powers wife of A. /
Powers, of Waterford VT, on her death bed onl
few days before passing away.
Oh, dull life have grown weary,
For the way is dark and dreary,
And my sky is overcast.
All my life have been dreaming.
And no ray around me cleaning,
Lightens up the shadowy past.
Hopes and joys alike have vanished,
Brightest prospects have been banished
By the sternest views of life
And the way is dark and lonely,
1 am thinking ever-Only,
Shall l sink beneath the strifel
Will the sky so dark ne'er brighten2
viii this heavy weight ne'er tighten
Shall such troubles never ceasel
Shall my heart within me burning
With its longings and its yearning,
Only in the grave find peace2
All! vain dreaming, vain ambitioni
Famished now the hearts fruitiOn-
Still the burden 1 must bear;
But I'll welcome grief and sorrow,
If but on some glad tomorrow,
Crown of Glory may wearl

Zen.'' who is so worried about the naming of
our smaller streets will consult his dictionary
he will discover that he did not know just what
he was saying when he said Columbia street
should be called columbia Court. on O street
between 9th and 10TH" Webster defines a
court as IAN inclosed space; a yard or area !;
recess surrounded by parts of a building -
street. the same authority says, is "a paved
way or road: city road; hence main way,
in distinction from lane or alley" Columbia
street may not be main way, but it is a
pared way: and it is neither a lane .widened
alley, or a court. Hence it is a street or
''city road" COLUMBIA STREET.
