jOHNNY'S BANK-BOOK.

Fifteen years ago, Johnny, then
fourteen years Of age, was an er'
rand.boy in newspaper Office in
Boston, with which, at that time l had
connection. He was son ofa poor
but industrious and temperate Irish.
man, employed by business establish
ment at the North End. Johnny's
mother was an excellent woman "a
model Of a wife and mother-and her
heart and that of her husband, wero
full OF ambition for the welfare and
interest of their little family OF
four, and jealously careful of their
moral instruction and reputation,
which they took espicial pains to place
on what is the safest supports sound
religious foundation. The family
made no figure in the world, only SO
far as virtue and industry might have
a quiet influence, through the humble
society of which they were members
But we have specially to do with
Johnny. He was good boy. BE
was always ready to do his little outlea
and to do them promptly. Lettering
away bis time while doing an errand
was no failure ofhis-and this, by the
way, is an evidence in itself Of good,
reliable character, of which no boy
who wishes we'll for himself, can suffer
himself, even in part to be destitute
Of course, because OF these qualities,
Johnnie was a great favorite in the
Office, and many triAing presents Of
money were given to him, which he
spent freely on fruits and sweets, OF
on whatever innocent tifes might
strike his appetite or fancy.
One day just after dinner, john,
came into the editorial room with 8
sandwich in his hand. a..

It's not always safe to listen to such

there are men who live by the credull-

and therefore are to be guarded
against. Consequently there was
something of a repulsive tone in tho
declaration that there must be some
mistake as to identity, tor it was not
within range Of :he writer's memory
that he had ever seen or known the
party who had so very warmly ac-
costed him.

Itook tea with Johnny and his ex'

at their modest home in one OF our

"he has been more exact in that trans

the argument in favor Of the authenti'

who was born in A. D. 33l, and lived
for nearly century, must be COM

us that Walafrid Strabo, Erasmus,

a SUMNER REQUIEM.

Shirt of Summer! thou whose honeyed sweets
Se;er fail fulfllment of their promise fair;
Thou at whose smile Earth's odorous voices
To mi with balmy breath the gladdened afr;
Where are thy songs, thy melodies, thy lays,
That cheered our weary hearts and soothed
our pain?
Silent thy music now, thy songsters fed.
And nothing but their memories remain;
Faded thy blossoms, all thy buds decayed,
While hollow winds moan sadly through tiny
Yet though thy smiling gardens bloom no
Wen not forget the perfume of thy flowers.
Gone are thy cloudless days; thy happy skies
Are dim and fearful now meath Winters
Disrobed thy trees, as the last dying leaves,
From naked boughs come slowly fiutterfng
down.
How sad to wander through thy sodden
Gray with a brooding mist, damp with decay,
Where Summers leaves lie rotting mt our feet,
Or by the chilly blast are borne away.
Now faint the scent of dead and dying plants;
Now clings the fungus to the humid stone,
And croaks the frog from yonder weedy
marsh,
For all the woodland happiness is gone.
If on the blackened stems some wintry ray
Athwart should fall and linger there awhile,
'Twould be but as the echo of a song,
The shadow of q once familiar smile.
Our brightest Joys are ever quickest fed,
As fade the rainbow cOlOrS i'll the sky;
We do not prize our happiness enough;
We scarcely feel it as it passes by.
Though looking always for some Joy unknown,
To day must ever incomplete remain,
And not till past We know how sweet it was.
Spirit of Summer, visit us again!
