The Story of Tilden's Love.

The story Of Tilden<s love is the saddest
page in all the long history of his eventful
life. Let him tell the people how in the
first bloom of early manhood he was
betrothed GA beautiful lady of one of the
old families OF New York; how her parents
decreed that on account of her youth she
should spend two years in Europe before
her marriage, how they pledged eternal
fidelity to each other, and registered their
VOWS at parting that, no matter how many
years might intervene, each heart should
beat sacrediy for the other till kinder
fate should reunite Them how the loved
one sailed away on the famous but iil-fated
steamship president" from which no
tidings have yet been brought back: how
annually, on the day that the farewells were
spoken, he repairs to the seashore, and lis
tens to the sad murmur of the waves, re-
news his VOW, and how, through all the
temptations that have come through a long
life of influences, wealth and power, the
pledge of his youth has been faithfully
kept, and his heart remains sacredly true to
his first love while the years glide by.

Too Much Poetic License.

Edward Morris has written an "Ode to
Infancy" beginning as follows:
" o little child
Stretched on thy mothers knees with stead
fast case
And innocent aspect mild.
Viewing this novel scene in mute amaze
Too much poetic license here, Edward.
When a child is stretched on its mothers
knees it doesn't view things in "mute
amaze" Hardly. The series of bowls that
comes from its throat would discount a
hotel gong And as for the innocent
aspect mild" it is not there-at least it

Don't Forget Ne.

Do not forget me!
The hours. full-freighted with joy too deep
For words, have flown too wildly by. Oh, keep
That Joy undimmed.
And though henceforth we two should dwell apar
Let no sad memories linger in your heart,
Or cloud your brow with care.
Do not forget me!
Think of the happy days when first we met;
Their golden radiance is round us yet -,-s.
Their after glow.
o that blest tlme when earth and sea and skies
Revealed new glories to our wondering eyes.
TRANSPORTED by loves power.
Do not forget me!
Go where you will, you are not far from mo;
My thoughts will follow you O er land and sea,
INCREASINGLY.
And in stiffness of some lonely hour
Your soul and mine, by strange magnetic power,
Shall hold communion sweet.
Do not forget me!
Think Of the love that patient waits for you;
Think Of the heart that ever chung to you,
All trustlngly.
Content. if sunshine falls around your way
To brighten every path wherein you stray,
In loneliness to dwell.
Do not forget me!
A kind remembrance is not too much to ask;
Surely, it will not be too hard task
To sometimes think
OF one for whom the world can yield no bliss
SO deep. so true, so exquisite as this
To love and care for you!
