1.-THE KINGS BUSINESS.

Slowly and aimlessly out of the village | wandered poor, half- witted Nat that | pleasant summer afternoon. He had | no particular destination, .'only goin' somewhere"- reply always to any question in regard to his movements. | During the morning he had been parad- ing the village street, his hat trimmed luxurisntly with feathers, while he sounded forth his own praise through | the medium of tin horn. Of course | he had attracted attention. A small army of urchins had surrounded him, front and rear. and he had taken their shouts and teasing remarks for applause and admiration. But now bis grandeur was gone. One by ore his followers had forsaken him, unIil at last he was cleft alone in bIs glory," ard with poor Nat, hkeEthe rest of us, what does glory amount to when there are none to wit ness ?
 And SO he moved onward in his drift ing, uncertain way across the creek at the edge of the village, up the hill, until his stalwart form stood out against the sky-for Nat was strongin body though weak in mind then he passed down on the other side to where the road entered forest which stretched for miles away. It was here quiet and lonely, but Nat fancied this. He occasionally liked to escape from human voices and human habitations, to get away by himself and talk with the birds, the trees and the flowers. Here in the wood the wild vagaries of his brain found full play. Here no one disputed his claims to great ness, no one denied his being noted general, gifted orator or musician, when the fancy seized him to be such In fact Nat always had greatness thrust upon him ;" he was never an or dinary man in his own estimation, ant he was not now.
 But on this occasion new fancy haG taken possession of him-he was ol business for the King. What King, O. what was the particulsr business he dit not precisely know, but he had derives his idea from various sermons he ha, heard at the village church and Sunday school, which he attended with scrupu lous punctuality through all weathers and although he understood but littl of the proceedings, yet chance sentence had fastened themselves on his sluggis brain.
 "I'm on business for the Kine,'' h muttered, reaching up his great stron hand and wrenching huge over-hanl ing branch from it's place and speedil converting it into a walking-sticl s'Yes, I'm on bu3iness for the King, u King of all around here, the birds, u trees, the flowers and the humble bee He sent me, He did. Parson said t'other Sunday. He said the King SCI out his messengers to do his work. I sent out twelve on lem oncet, an th wasn't to take no money in their pur nor noth1n' to eat.

 He strode onward, murmuring

WHEN THE COWS COME HOME.

With khngle. klangle, klingle,
 Far down the dusky dingle,
 The COWS are coming home; Now sweet and clear, and faint and low, The airy tinkings come and go, Like chimings from far-off tower, Orpstterings of an April shower
 That make the daisies grow;
 Rolling, ko-lang, kolinglelingle,
 Far down the darkening dingle,
 The COWS come slowly home; And old-tine friends, and twilight plays, And starry nights and sunny days, Come rooping up the misty ways,
 When the COWS come home.
 With jingle, jangle, jingle,
 Soft tones that sweetly mingle,
 The COWS are coming home; Malvine, and Pearl, and Florimel, De Ramp, Red Rose, and Gretchen Schell, Queen Bess, and sylph, and spangled Sue Across the fields I hear her loo-oo,"
 And clang her silver bell;
 Go-hng, go-lang, golingledingle
 With faint, far sounds that mingle, The cows come slowly home; Ana mother-songs of long gone years, And baby joys and childish fears, And youthful hopes and youthful tears.
 When the COWS come home.
 With ringle, rangle, ringle,
 By twos. and threes, and single,
 The COWS are coming home; Thro violet air we see the town, And the suUmer sun a-sliding down, And the waple in the hazel glade Throws down the path longer shade,
 And the hills are growing brown;
 To-ring. to-rang, toringleringle,
 By threes, aud fours, and single,
 The cows come slowly home; The same sweet sound of wordless psalm, The same sweet June-day rest and calm, The same sweet smell of buds and balm,
 When the COWS come home.
 With tinkle, tankle, jingle,
 Thro' fern and periwinkle
 The COWS are coming home; A-loitering in the checkered stream, Where the sun-rays glance and gleam, Clarine, Peachbloom, and Phoebe PhilAs Stand knee-deep in the creamy lilies,
 In drowsy dream;
 To-link, to-lank, tolinklelinkle
 Der banks with buttercups a-twinkle, The COWS come slowly home; And up thro' Memory's deep ravine Oome tnrj Drooks old song and it's old tim
 sheen, And UIe crescent of the silver Queen;
 When the COWS come home.
 With klingle, klangle, klingle,
 With '1oo-oo," and 'imoo-oo' and jingle The cows are coming home; And over there on Merlin Hill, Sounds the plaintive cry of the whip-poor- vii Ind fH<A Anr 1s, AL And over the oplars Venus shines,
 And over the silent mill.
 Ko-ling, ko-lang, kolinglelingle,
 With ting-a-ling and jingle,
 The COWS come slowly home. Let down the bars let in the train Of long-gone songs, and flowers, and rain, For dear old times come back again,
 When the COWS come home.
