stupefed. At noon we reached the banks

After ALI
BY WILLIAM WINTER.

The apples are ripe in the orchard,
The work of the reaper is done,
And the golden woodlands redden
In the blood of the DYING sun.
At the cottage-door the grandsire
Sits, pale, in his easy chair,
While gentle wind Of twilight
Plays with his silver hair.
A woman is knelling beside him;
A fair young head is prest,
In TIE first wild passion of sorrow
Against his aged breast.
And far from over the distance
The faltering echoes come,
OF the f1ving blast OF trumpet
And the rafting roll of drum
Then the grandsire speaks, in whisper
The end no man can see;
But we give him to his country,
And We give our prayers to Thee"
The violets star the meadows,
The rose-buds fringe the door,
And over the grassy orchard
The pink-white blossoms pour
But the grandsire's chair is empty,
And the cottage is dark and still,
There's nameless grave on the battle
field,
And new one under the hill.
And q pallid. fearless woman
BY the cold hearth sits alone;
And the old clock in the corner
Ticks on with steady drone.

There was touching scene recently

divorced couple, the lady being the sis

divorced husband had brought crosses
and wreathes of flowers to place on the
coffin, and also on another grave, that of
his osn little boy buried in the same lot
two years before. In the emotion Of the

wife the floral tribute to place upon he
grave of their i st little one, and their

A Sterling Old Poem.

Who shall judge man from his manners
WHO shall know him by his dress?
Paupers may be fit for princes,
Princes fit for something less.
Crumbled shirt and dirty jacket
May beclothe the golden ore
OF the deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin vest can do no more.
There q streams of crystal nectar.
Ever flowing out Of stone;
There are purple beds and golden,
Hidden, crushed and OverthrOWn,
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Love and prospers you and me,
While he values thrones the highest
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man appraised above his fellows,
Oft forgets his fellows then;
Masters -rulers-lords, remember
That your meanest kinds are men?
Men OF labor, men of feeling,
Men of thoughts and men of fame.
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In a man o ennoDling name.
There are foam EN- broidered oceans,
There are little wood-clad rills;
There are feeble inch-high saplings,
There are cedars on the hills.
God who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and prOspers you and me;
For to Him all vain distinctions
Are as pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
OF nations wealth and fame,
Titled laZiness is pensioned,
Fed and fattened on the same;
By the sweat of others foreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the moor mans Ontra pe6 free6Om
Vainly lifts its feeble voice.
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with loneliness and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is sunny right.
God. whose worldwide voice is singing
Boundless love to you and me,
Links oppression with his titles
But as pebbles in the sea,
