MARRYING AN HEIRESS.

The great bell had changed the con-
ductor had shouted "All aboard" and
we were on the point of starting, when
she entered the car with two bird cages,
a poodle dog, "A bouquet and a travelling
bag Who do mean by "she 7" Why,

woman in the world She was slight

up at me in surprise.
"Ah,' said /, you think am a

attached to the cage. II have often

EARLY MEMORIES.
JOHN W. CLAMPITT,

JOHN W, oLAMpITT.
My path led to vine clad cot,
Where rose and blue iorget-me-not
Bloomed fresh and sweet and fair,
And wild-thyme on messy bank,
Not far from where the waters drank
Its perfume in the summer air.
All golden were those Joyous hours,
Spent mid the birds and vernal bowers,
And ripping streams on gravelly-bed.
What dreams came in that summer land
To sooth the soul and free the hand
AS silver clouds moved overhead
The lark sprank from its dewy nest,
AS morning light crowned vale and crest
With streaming banners from on high,
And every pulse OF nature beat
In unison, glad morn TO greet,
AS radiant grew the arching sky.
All golden moments from the tide,
That time rolls ON in wealth and pride,
How dear you seem tonight;
How memory gilds with raptured joy
Those far-spent hours of dreaming boy,
Ere care had come with scar and blight
A fair face hid by sunny curls,
And snowy teeth like seawashed pearls
And ruby lips that whispered low
The words that crept close to my heart,
The vows that death alone could part
The dreaming lovers here below.
The same fair face shown of its curls--
The snowy teeth like sea- washed pearls,
Now hid within the cold, closed lips
A snowy-white shroud and fair hands press'd
In long embrace on peaceful breast,
AS still and mute as painted ships.
What changes Time hath wrought, indeed
While forty years have chased with speed
Each other into Mystery's realm.
What shadows fit from out the past,
And fleeing bind us firm and fast
AS loving thoughts our hearts o'erwhelm.
How lost we ARE. No chart to guide,
Or landmark set on memory's tide,
AS toilng on we seek our dead
How once familiar scenes have changed
And all that love and beauty ranged
Before us, in that past, now fled
Gone are the winding paths that lead
To vine-clad cot and messy bed,
Whereonthe perfumed wild-thyme grew
Gone are the birds and vernal bowers,
And fed, alas, the golden hours,
That only days Of boyhood knew.
Let Time, with pillows broad and deep,
| Up.roll the stone at cave where sleep
The memories of our early days.
In peace we leave them in their rest,
| Asleep like babe on mothers breast,
| While we pursue our life-work ways.
Perchance when wntry age hath come,
And weary steps lead to our home,
These scenes may rise above Times wave
AS angels with their wand Of love,
Renew our lives in worlds above,
And roll the stone from memories cave.
