NY Lost CHILDHOOD.


Somewhere on these green hillsldss
By tumbling brook, 10 pastures fair,
Or meath the beeehes' knotly arns,
Ny childhood lies. know not where
II slipped away, know not when,
Like q Lost mantle, Gro knew,
Gone with tho winds, or act OF slars,
EIhAled perhaps, like sumner dew,
The pines still Sigh 10 whispers soft,
Aud still the cool stars rise and sol
Tho goldsn.rod beside the wall
Tosses II. tufted plumos, and yet,
Though ihsY all know, they never toll
Nor orioles note, nor the robin's plaint,
Nor tho summer wind that warns my cheek
The secret tells, or whispers fAint,
When my lost childhood fed away,
bearing Ito dreams Of rainbow light,
Its pure trust, aud Ito fearless ways,
Its noble truth, and honor bright,
For dreams Of youth are very fair.
When days are but sweettuned song,
Fro real life.work eomos too near,
Aud blood 10 quick aud will 10 strong.
Like thistle down on summers breath,
Or quiet change from day 10 night,
Nv childhood vanished from my li'e,
Vanished forever from my sight

Arrayed In snow-whito pants and vest,
And other raimont fair to view.
! stood before my sweetheart. Sue
Tho charming creature love best
"Tol mo, doos my costume suit"
] asked that apple OF my eyo.
And thon tho charmor mado reply
"0h, yes, you do look awful cuto!"
Although frequently had heard
Ny sweetheart vent her pleasure 80,
must confess I did not know
The meaning Of that favoritc word.
Dut presently Al window sido
We stood and watched tho passing throng,
And soon donkey passed along,
With oars like sails extending wido,
And gazing at tho doloful brute,
My sweetheart gavo merry cry
Iquoto her language with sigh
"Oh, Charlie. ain't he awful cute1"

THE GAMBLERS LAST STAKE.

In an inner room OF his counting
house, which occupied wing Of his
splendid mansion in the Cal)e Alcala,
sat Don Jose Solano, one Of the rich.
est bankers in Madrid, ruminating
with much self-complacency upon the
profitable results of recent specu-
lation. lie was interrupted in his
meditstivns by the entrance of one of
the clerks ushering in stranger, who
bore letter of introduction from q
banker at Mexico, with whom Don
Jose had had occasional transactions.
The letter stated that tho bearer, the
Conde do Valleja, was of a high re-
spectacle family of Mexican nobility,
that he was deslrous of visiting Eu-
rope, and more especially the country
of his ancestors, Spain and it then
went on to recommend him in the
strongest terms to the Madrid banker,
as one whose intimacy and friendship
could not fail to be sought after by
all who became acquainted with his
many excellent and agreeable qualities
The appearance Of the Count SEEM
ed to justify, as far as appearance can
do, the highest terms of which he was
spoken of in this letter. He was about
eight.and-twenty years, dark complex
ioned, with a high clear forehead. short
crisp, curling hair, an intelligent
and regular countenance, and smile
OF singular beauty and fascination. His
eyes were the only feature which could
be pronounced otherwise than ex.
tremely pleasing although large,
black and lustrous, they had acertain
Gxity and hardness OF expression that
produced an unpleasant impression
upon the beholder, and would perhaps
have been more disagreeable had not
the mellow tones of the Counts voice
and his suavity and polished manner,
served in a great measure to counter
act the effect of this popularity.
Doing due honor to the strong REQ
commentator of his esteemed cores
pondent, Don Jose welcomed the
young Conde with the utmost hospi-
tality. insisting on taking possession Of
him for the whole of the day, and,
without allowing him to return to his
hotel, dragged him into the house,
presented him to his son and daughter
and charged them 70 use their utmost
exertions to entertain their guest,
while he himself returned to his occu.
patton till dinner time At one O'Clock
the old banker reappeared in the sala
where he found Rafael and Mariquita
Solano listening with avidity TO the
agreeable conversation ofthe count
who in his rich and characteristic
Mexican Spanish, was giving them th'
most interesting details concerning tht

WHEN WE KNELT AT OUR MOTH
ER,S KNEE

There is always time in our childhood.
There's always n scene in our life.
OF home or the old tangled wildwood.
With which fond memory is rife:
Which is dearer. much dearer than othera
But the dearest of all these to me.
When folded my hands with NV brothers.
And kneit at our dear mother'sknee.
We would read or we'd play in the evening
Our big brother'd crawl on all-fours-
While the youngest upon him was clinging.
Light bumped:against us or the doors.
Alb howqnickly was sileuced the litter.
(Those little white forms still see.l
When we folded our hands. sometimes pouting
And knelt at our loved mothers knec-
childish chorus, we lisped, "our Father
The memory still touches my heart
Some of MS are'now claiming that kinship,
The others and are apart.
1 remember with pleasure the wildwood.
The chase of the bird and the bee.
But the untaintad time of our childhood.
We knelt at our..fond motheI's kuee.
When unrest overthrows our contentmcnt,
When vexed with the struggles of life.
Let us quiet the thought of resentment.
And soften the feeling of strife.
BY the memory of DAYS long departed.
OF hope and of innocent gIee.
When we prayed with our rosy lips parted.
Aud knelt at our kind mothers knee.

England's Good Queen.

The Queen was not twenty years Of sgo
when she ascended the throne. Coming into
possession Of power with q heart fresh, ten
der and pure, and with ell her instincts in
cliDed to mercy, We may DO sure that sbo
found many things that tried her strength Of
resolution to the utmost. 90 bright, beau
titul morning, the young Queen was waited
upon at her palace, ut Windsor, by the Duko
of Wellington, who had brought from LON
don various papers requiring her signature to
make them operative. One OF them was .
sentence Of court. martial pronounced against
u soldier of the line, that sentence thst no
be shot. dead. The Queen looked upon the
paper, and then looked upon the wopdrous
beauties that nature had spread to her view.
"Wbat has this man done 2" she asked
The duke looked at the paper, and replied,
"Ah, my royal mistress. that man, fear, is
incorrigible. He has deserted three times"
land can you not say anything in his be-
half. my lord 2" Wellington shook his head.
"Ob! think sgain, pray you?' Seeing
that Her Majesty was so deeply moved, and
feeling sure she would not have the man shot
in any event, he finally confessed thst the
man was brave, aud gallant. and really .
good soldier. "But," he added, "think of
the influence" ''InfueDce !" the Queen
cried, her eyes flashing and her bosom besv-
ing with strong emotion. LET it be ours TO
WELD influence. will try mercy in this
mans case, and charge you, my Grace. to
let me know the result. A good soldier, you
said. Oh, thank you for that! And you
may tell him that your good word saved bin" "
Then she took the paper and wrote, with .
bold. firm hand, across the dark page, the
bright, saving -"pardoDed !" The
duke was fond of telling the story and be
was willing also to confess that the giving Of
that paper to the pardoned soldier gave bim
far more joy than he could have experienced
from the taking of ci.y.-LonaoH Journal.
