having an open door permitted the two

to see each other. The night before the
husband died his wife heard him groan-

order to be near him the beds were moved
so as to bring them parallel with the
partition. the heads opposite the door.

Off the Coasts Of Steep.

A land know afar, yet near,
Remote and dim, yet close and clear
A bread, rich realm, by man untamed,
Our very own, yet all unclaimed.
Out from life's daily jar and fret
1t shines, in tranquil borders set;
Upon its shores earth's burdens fall,
And iancy takes the reign DER all.
Dark closed the day; the twilight chill
In deeper gloom wrapped field and hill;
The angry winds howled loud and hoarse,
And shook the walls with savage force;
The air with snow and sleet was piled,
For winters fury gathered wild.
Spent with his wrath, stole away
To greet a brighter, kindlier day.
Oh, soft upon that distant coast
The flashing waters leaped and tossed;
The white sails filed with halcyon air;
Green were the woods hung pictured there;
Strange fruitage there the sun doth kiss;
Lapt in those airs, tits rife with bliss;
Its subtle wine my pulses stirred,
Like rhythmic music family heard.
On sunny slopes thick set with bloom
The senses thrill with strange perfume;A
More vivid, yet more frail, those flowers
Than any blown in mortal bowers;
They nod, they bend, they glow, they move;
They mimic human strife and love,
AS all things meath those tar-off skies
10 OaiIv unoat o1r earthly avpa
Freed from all trouble, pain and care,
Our hearts hurst into blossom tnese;
Tongues are unloosed; the poets fire
Burns in each breast with new desire;
On wondrous harmonies OF song
The golden hours are borne along,
Till soul and sense, transiused, seem one,
In new-made iorins OF lite begun.

And grind them into -four.
look down over the farms;
In the fields OF grain see
The harvest that Is to be,
And fling alott my arms,
For know it is all tor me-
hear the sound Of fails
Far off from the threshing-doors
In barns with their open doors,
And the wind, the wind in my sails.
Louder and louder roars.
stand here in my place,
With my foot on the rock below,
And whichever way it may blow,
Inject it face to face,
As brave man meets his foe
And while we wrestIe and strive,
My master the miller stands
And leeds me with his hands,
For be knows who makes him thrive,
Who makes him lord OF lands.
On Sundays 1 take my rest;
Church going bells begin
Their low, melodious din;
cross n arms on my breast,
And all is peace within.

Rows and their Mother.

Of all the love affairs in the world,
none can surpass the true love OF big
boy for his mother. 1t is pure love and
noble, honorable in the highest degree
20 both. | do not mean merely a dutl-
full affection I mean love which
makes boy gallant and courteous to
his mother, saying to every body plain
" that he is in love with her. Next to
the love of husband nothing 80 crowns
woman's life with honor as this second
love, this devotion of son to her. Ana
I never yet knew boy "turn out" bad
who had began falling in love with his
mother. Any man may fall in love with
a fresh faced young girl, and the man
who is gallant with the girl may cruelty
neglect the worn ard weary wife. But
the boy who was lover of his mother
in her middle age, is true knight, who
will love his wife as much in the sere
leaved autumn as he did in the daisled
sprinp time
