OLD MU1IC.

Back non the misty realms Of time
Daek from the years agone,
Haintly We catch the ringing rhyme
AID hsar the melody and chime
or olden songs, OF strains sublime,
Like carols Of birds at dawn.
And ever we hear them soft and low,
HAxptng their music SWEET
Songs that we loved in the long ago,
Rippling their liquid ebb and flow,
Drifting their cadence to and fro,
Like the fall Of passing feet.
Some faces our hearts will ever hold.
Some smiles we remember yet,
Thsre were flowing locks like the sunsets gold,
There were parted lips Of Cupid's mold;
Ard the aonss they sang can near grow old,
For cur hearts can ne'er forget.
The times that the voice Of girlhood sung,
The chords that We loved full well.
When hopes were buoyant. hearts were young.
When fairy bells In the flower cups runE.
And ever fell from maiden's tongue
The words Of . wItching spell.
All. weIl-a-dayi 'tts a story past.
Which may not tell again;
Twas happiness too sweet to last;
Tho heavy clods on her grave are cast,
And her voice is stilled, and above her fast
Falls the cold wintry rain.

A LITTLE GHOST STOkY.

Mrs. G., with her two little
girls, of the respective ages of 8 and
9 years, had been staying IN the coun-
try on q visit to her sister-in-iaw but
having taken q house near London,
she sent the two children with their
nurse off by an early train, following
herself by one few hours later. To
ward the evening of the same day,
one of the little girls walked into q
room Of the house which they had
quilted in the morning, where q cOus-
in, to 1hom she was much attached,
was sitting at his studies. and said to
him II haye come to say good-by,
Walter; shall never see you again" !"
Then kissing him abe vanished from
the room. The young man was great
ly startled and astonished, as he had
himself seen both the little girls and
their nurse of by the morning train.
At this very time of the evening both
the children in England were taking
suddenly i'll, while playing in their
new home, few hours after they had
arrived. The doctor called in pro.
nouuced their complaint to be small
pox Of the most malignant kind. They
both died within the week, but the
youngest died first. The day after
she was buried, the poor bereaved
mother was anxiously waiting the last
hours of the one still left, for whom
she knew no chance of life remained.
Suddenly the sick child woke up from
q kind of stupor, and exclaimed, 20,
look, mammal look at the beautiful
angelsI" pointing at the foot Of the
bed. Mrs. G. saw nothing, but
heard soft, sweet music, which SEEM
ed to float in the air. Again the child
exclaimed, go, dear mamma, there is
MinnieI" She smiled, and appeared
greatly pleased. At this moment Mrs.
G. distantly heard q voice say !:
"Come, dear Ada; am waiting for
you'll" The sick child smiled once
again, and died without struggle.
Long did the poor mother remember
overhearing q childish conversation
between the two little ones, in which
the youngest said to the other that she
felt snre she should die first, and
would be certain to come and fetch
her, Atlantic Monthly.

HOW BoGGs Ran FOR OFFICE.

HOW BOGGS RAN FOR OFFICE.
Boggs was as peaceable man as ever
lived.
He was sober, honest and respected.
He had never pounded his wife.
Never taken any interest in dog
fight.
Had never been known to pawn
somebody else's watch,
And never attempted to steal q saw
mill.
Boggs' character was above reproach.
He was a shining light in society.
All Boggsville looked up to and hon
ored him.
But change came, fearful direful
change:
In an evil hour Boggs accepted the
nomination for constable of his native
village.
Alas! poor BOggs!
Little did he understand the deceit
and treachery of the wicked world.
His eyes were soon opened. however.
In less than a week after he was
nominated the opposition had fully es-
tablished the following damaging
charges against his character.
1. That he was a free lover and an
infidel.
q. That he had fed his neighbours
hens on poisoned corn.
8. That he had broken his mother
in-law's jaw with an iron boot.jack.
4. That he on one occasion gave q
whole load of green watermelons to an
orphan asylum.
5. That he had served a term in the
State Prison for horse stealing.
6. That he had set fire to his next
neighbor's barn merely because he re-
fused to lend him hoe.
z. That because he found a button
off his shirt, he tied his wife to bed
post and mashed in three of her ribs
with a stove poker.
8. That his chief Sunday amuse-
ments were cock-fighting and card
playing.
8. That he sold his vote regularly
every year to the highest bidder.
10. That he wasn't fit for the place
anyhow. s.-.
These charges, though without the
slightest foundation, were religiously
believed by the majority of the voters
of Boggsville.
And Bogg's political goose was
cooked.
His chances for being elected were
not worth three cents on q dollar.
When BOggs passed along the street
his neighbors looked at him with sus-
picion, and crossed over on the other
side.
Boggs was miserable being.
The day of town-meetiDg came at
last, and Boggs opponent scooped in
the constableship by a two-thirds vote.
The anti-Boggs party swept their
candidate into the Office ON the tidal
wave Of popularity. and poor Boggs
was left perched high upon the spike
mounted picket-fence of despair.
Boggs will never run for office again,
not even for President.
He says it is too great a strain on the
ch aracter.
If he can regain the esteem of his
neighbors by grubbing along in the
old way, he intends to do it, and leave
ofiice-seeking to people of cast-iron
reputation.
Boggs is just coming to his senses.
