RdRBI IA.

Barbara sits in her porch so green,
All day long till the sun goes down.
Sl,eNleaFs the buzz of her sewing machine,
She hears the hum of the distant town,
And sometimes the drone of the hives sedate,
Or the tick tack murmur the mlli-whoel
makes.
B1t at every step at the garden gate,
A pause she makes and thread she oreaksi
And sadly saying, "He comes not, then!"
she signs and turns 10 her sewing again;
Summer winds, can We bring no balm
To weary bosom that knows no calm!
Summer and winter, early and late,
Doth little Barbara sit and bark,
For the one swift step at the garden q
That never comes of shine or dark,
I wonder if she but the truth could know
That is kept from so many fond, anxious
souls
That her lovers head hath long LAID low,
Where the grassy sea of the prairie rolls
How long would it be ere window and door
Would b. empty both and her waiting o'er'
Oh, winds, west winds, will We never tell
What long ago in your winds befell!
Nay, let her be; let her knit and sew,
And linger and listen, and watch and walt,
In its own good time it will come, know
A message for her at the garden gate
A message will breathe in the anxious ears,
Her wasted figure soft arm folds.
An the love and trust of these weary years
VIII bring their reward in a bliss untold.
Though watching and waiting consume our
prime,
There arc angels in Heaven that bide their
time.
Ye winds, blow lightly. Still repose
The happy ignorance Barbara knows.

Baby is. Dead.
"Baby is dead!"

"Baby is dead!"
Three little words passing along the
line, copied somewhere, and soon forgot
ten. But after all was quiet again,
leaned my head upon my hand, and fell
into deep revery of all that those words
may mean.
Somewhere-a dainty form, still and
cold, unclasped by mothers arms to-
night Eyes that yesterday were just as
bright and blue as the skies in June,
dropped tonight beneath white lids that
no voice can ever raise again. Two soft
hands, whose rose-leaf fingers were wont
to wander lovingly around mothers neck
and face, loosely holding white buds,
quietly folded in coffined rest. Soft lips,
yesterday ripping with laughter, sweet
as woodland brookfalls, gay as the trill
of forest bird, tonight unresponsive to
Kiss or call of love. A silent home-the
patter of baby feet forever hushed. A
cradle bed impressed. Little shoes half
worn. Dainty garments, shoulder-k knots
of blue to match those eyes of yesterday,
folded with aching heart away. A tiny
mound, snow-covered, in some quiet
graveyard. A mothers cropping touch in
uneasy slumber, for the fair head that
shall never more rest upon her BOSOM
The low sob, the bitter tear, as broken
dreams awake to sad reality. The hopes
of future years wrecked, like fair ships
that suddenly go down in sight of land.
The watching of other babies, dimpled,
laughing, strong, and this one gone! The
present agony Of grief, the future empti-
ness of heart, all held in those three little
words, "Baby is dead"
Indeed, it is we'll that we can copy and
soon forget the words so freighted with
woe to those who receive and send them
And yet it cannot harm us now and then
to give tender thought to those whom
our careless pen-stroke is giving such a
weight of grief

LEFT BEHIND.

Wilt thou forget me in that other sphere
Thou who hast shared my life SO long in
this
And straight grown dizzy with that greater
bliss,
Fronting heavens splendor, strong and full
and clear,
No longer hold the old embraces dear.
When some sweet seraph crowns thee with
her kiss?
Nay, surely, from that rapture thou wouldst
miss
Some slight, small thing that thou hast cared
for here.
1 do not dream that from those ultimate
heights
Thou wilt come back to seek me where
.bide,
But if follow, patient to thy Sights,
And if stand there, waiting by thy side,
Surely thy heart with some old thrill will
stir,
And turn thy face toward me, even from her.

Magazine for August.

An old German preacher in Fairfield
Chapel, at the close of protracted SER
vice, thus apologized:
s'Te room is dark, my eyes is tim,
I cannot see to read tie hymn"
The choir, mistaking it for the first two
lines, at once sang it, when the surprised
minister offered this explanation:
Il SAID tie room is dark, my eyes is tim,
did not mean it for tie hymn"
On went the singers with that also. The
bewildered pastor, as soon as he could,
fiercely demonstrated:
tie berry tebel, how you pawl!
tell you OATS no hymn at ALL"
That had the desired effect; no more
singing was performed that evening.

member of their happy home was the
rosy checked, clear-eyed old apple-wo-

"This is very fine country, after all,
Pat, and It's a great pity that political
disorganizatio- should interfere with its
prosperity" said a cosmopolitan friend
of mine to the driver of car which was
jolting him over rough but picturesque
country road in the far western part of
Ireland.
'sAh, you may say that" was the reply,
"but the English have taken the living
out of us these twenty years, as long as
car reminder"
"The land leaguers mean to settle the
business this time, supposed"
"Begorrah, and they do, now!" said
Pat, whipping up his steed "there are
two hundred thousand of them ready to
do it this very minute, all to the very
teeth"
els that so?"
at is so. And they could wipe the
entire British army off the face of the
earth, and no doubt of it."
"And why don't they do it,"
"Don't you see why, sorr?"
Pat cracks his whip and turns around
to wink at my friend.
"They're 'fraid of the police; that's
why, SOFT"

The Stranger in his Desk.

The Christian Secretary tells the fol-
lowing interesting anecdote of DR.. Lyman
Beecher, and the nearly equally famous
DR.. Strong, of East Hartford:
A plain country minister called one
day, just at evening, upon DR.. Strong.
The doctor was very busy preparing for
his evening service, and he said to his
wife:
"You must entertain him for a little
while.''
He soon came out of the study, and in
vited the stranger TO accompany him to
meeting. On the way he turned to his
country brother and said:
81 will depend upon you to offer the
opening prayer
At the close Of the prayer he whisper
ed, "You must preach"
81 haven't any notes.
"Don't you ever preach without your
notes?"
~ have done such thing"
"Well, you must preach"
every we'll"
DR.. Strong listened with the most alb
sorbed attention, till at the close he spoke
out so loud as to be heard all over the
house:
"Who are you? Amt you that Beechel
who has lately come to LitchfeldY'
"My name is Lyman Beecher."

The Comic Side Of PoIygamy.

There is comic, as well as a pathetic
side to Mormon polygamy. Among the
Mormon women in Utah, was one who
accepted, in full faith, the polygam ic
revelation. She had found in polygamy
an ample compensation in the supposed
right of the first wife to choose her hus-
bands succeeding wives This was her
argument:
eff the first wife selects all the other
wives, it has the effect of showing them
that the husband thinks much of her
judgement, and is willing to abide by it.,
and that they will have to do the same
This is, of course, as it should be. But
if she lets her husband choose his own
wife, he is almost certain to take fancy
to some one whom the first wife does not
like at all, and consequently, her author
ity is undermined The first wife ought
to have all the power in her hands,
The sequel of this lady's story is ex-
tremely ludicrous. After she had chosen
two other wives for her husband, he was
so preverse as to choose fourth for him
self, the fourth being not at all to her
liking, as she herself admitted. This is
her own account of the matter:
"I tell you,' said [, 'pm disguised
| with you; man with three wives. and
me one of them, to go talking twaddle to
gathering hussy like that, with her cats
eyes and red hair'
Golden hair, my dear; Charlotte's hair
is golden he said
"tI say it's red -straight, staring red
| red as red can be' l told him.
"And then we had regular fight over
it. do not mean that we came to blows,
but we had some hot words over it, and
he went out and left us two alone. Their
that young hussy was 1mpudent, and
don't know how it was, but somehow
when we left off our conversation | founo
some of Charlotte's red hair between my
fingers, and there" she said, innocently
holding out good-sized tuft of auburn
hair, "there, put it to you, Sister STEM
house, is that red, or is it not?'
