THE WAY OF THE WORLD.
MAUD TO HUGH.

MAUD TO HUGH. Dear Cousin Hugh I'm home again Among the dear old hills and vales; The stormy music of the pines
 Comes rushing down on all the gales; The blackbird's liquid melody
 Comes bubbling out from woody ways, And all the sounds hear but seem An echo from the dear old days. I've seen the sunsets burn and blush Behind the dark wood, as of yore; The mornings bud and blossom bright Ger dusky purple heights once more I've walked the still, green lanes, between The blossomed hedges, sweet with dew; But all the olden sights and sounds Will, somehow, make me think of you. So in the garden, quaint and sweet, Beneath tent of lilac trees, Iwrite to you. All round I hear
 The boom of countless, golden bees. This dear old garden, running wild, Brings back long-lost sense of calm; It sleeps shadowy solitude
 or leaf and blossom, breeze and balm. Just as he used, the catbird sings
 Amid the laurefs emerald gloom; With glow of wire, and gleam of snow, The roses spread in seas of bloom. Twas here we played in Auld Lang Syne- Isnile to see the picture rise Of barefoot little boy and girl;
 Iheif faxen hair about their eyes. Across the fields and pasture lands took 8 long walk, yesterday, And came upon the old stone wall
 Where, hours and hours, we used to play Half buried now in brakes and ferns It stands, as long ago it stood; The erlckets chirp beneath the stones; The cuekoos call along the wood. Their golden pitchers, touch-me-nots Held for the time of summer dew; Amid the mullain's velvet leaves
 Shine daisy stars of tender blue. rested heath the old birch tree, And thought upon the Long Ago Till memories, like rising tides,
 Back on my heart began to flow. With bare toes clinging to the stones seemed 70 see you climb the wall To reach for me some berries bright, While implored you not to fall; And once you helped me to the top An, what dizzy height it seemedl And so stayed till twilight fell,
 And of the Past and Future dreamed. You know we met beside the sea Last year; well, Cousin Hugh, I'll own That was weak and giddy then; But now I've wiser, graver grown. The spell of childhood's loves and joys Is on me now oh, cousin, come! And we'll revive the happy Past
 Amid old scenes. Dear Hugh, come home
 HUGH TO MAUD. Dear Cousin Maud: Your letter came To hand last night how very kind Of yau to keep your Cousin Hugh, With other humble things, in mind. You know that when we met last year You blushed at what you termed my ways We'll, Cousin Maud, they're awkward still, They haven't mended since those days. And when we walked alone, one night, Beside the quiet, starlit sea, And reminded you of VOWS
 Made long ago, you laughed at me, And called my lifelong hope absurd No, Cousin Maud, I cannot come, For was married weeks ago,
 And think I'd rather stay at home.

How, when we called, lie hcedeth not our cry
Because His wisdom TO tho end could see
And cen as prudent parents dSallow
Too much of sweet 10 craving habyhood
So Gcd perhaps, is keeping from us now
Life's sweetest things, because it seemeth

We find the wormwoOd, and rebel and shrink
BE sure wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this portion for your lips to drink.
And if some friend we love is lying low
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
Oh, do not blame the heavenly Father so,
But wear your sorrow with obcdient grace.
Aud you shall shortly know that heightened
breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends his friend,
And that, sometimes, the sable pail of death
Conccals the tairest boon his love can send
If we would push a ar the gates of life,
And stand within, and all God workings scc
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find key.
But not to-day. Then be content, poor heart !!
Gods plans, like lilies, pure and white un-

We must not tear the close shut leaves apart
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold
And if, through patient toll we reach the land
Where tired feet with sandals loose, may rest
When we shall clearly know and understand,
think that we would say, "God knew the
