POEMS WORTH READING.
Grandmothcr's Sermon.

From the Saratoga sun
The supper Ia DER, the hearth is swept
mi, And \, the wood ilres glow
The children cluster to hear o tale
VI that time so long ago,
When grandma's hair was golden brown.
And the warm blood came and went
Ger the face that could scarce have been swsster
Thhn now in It's rich content.
The face Ia wrinkled and careworn now,
But the light that shons IN The young girls eyes
Never has gone away
And her needles catch the nrelight
with the clicking music that grandma loves,
Shaping the stocking toe.
Aud the waiting children love IT, too.
For they know the stocking song
Which they shall have ere long.
But 1t brings no story OF olden time
To grandma's heart tonight
Only arefrain, quaint and short,
Is sung By the needles bright
Life Ia stocking" grandma says,
And yours In Just begun;
And my work Is almost done.
with merry hearts we begin to knit
Some are gay -coiored. and some are white;
And some are ashen gray.
But most are made Of many hues,
With many stitch set wrong;
And many row TO be sndly ripped
Ere the whole IL fair aud strong.
"There are long. plain spaces without break,
That In life are hard to bear;
And many weary tear is dropped
As we fashion the heel with care.
But the saadest, happest time ia thst
When our Heavenly Father breaks the thread.
And says that our work Is done"
The children came to say good night,
While in srandm a lap With broken thread,
The finished stocking lies

From the Democratic Idrdnce.
When we pass by y flower on our way
Does 1t matter AT NIL II We say
II is winsonc and fair,
And it perfumes the air,
And Its beauty enriches the dayi
No, a rose IL q rose all the same,
Though WI give IL our praise or our blame;
For its charm is complete,
Aud IL lives to he sweet
And 40 'tis with her that name.
How forgetful was Fame MOI to tell rs
What n boon III her coming bcfell us;
How her exquisite face
Was forgot in her grace.
How her yiOlin-vOicc could so quell usi
So wish and a blessing | send her
MAY the angels and fairies attend her,
Aud turn every dart
As she Journeys apart
With her beauty alone to defend her.

Dear Hands!


from me tHitJJo Irt0otc
The touches OF her hands are like the fall
or veiv.t snowhlkes: HE the touch OF down
The peach just brushes 'gain-t the garden wall;
The flossy fondngs OF the thistl. whisp
Caught in the crinkle OF u leaf of brown
The lighting frost has turned from green crisp.
Soft as the falling Of the dusk AT night
The touches of her hands aud the delight
TIL" tGuchrs Of her hands!
The touches of her hands are like the dew
That falls - softly down no one e'er knew
The touch thereon save lovers like To one
Astray in lights where ranged Endymion.
Oh, rarely soft the touches % her hands,
As drowsv zephyrs In enchanted lands;
or pulse of dyiug fay. or fairy signs;
Or-in between the midnight aud the dawn,
When long unrest and tears aad fears are gone
Sleep smoothing down the lids of weary eyes

From the boston Transcript.
We arc at sen. At SEES, at sea,
stu floating onward dreamily.
The isles aud canes fall far behind.
Blown backward by tho salty wind.
The sky her sapphire chslicc turns
Upon the deep which CLEANS and burns
With sunlight In tho midst We ride,
fiecS upon the shceny tide.
Millions OF sparkles lean and dance
Above the binding, blue eNpanse.
Aud on the round horizon rim
The ghosts of vessels dawn aud dim.
Beneath our benict glauces break
The spleniOrs of the restless wake.
We watch the iris shedding wheel
We hear the swift, meioiious keel,
And wonder when with placid eye,
Some strange sea monarch plunges by,
Between hs marshallcd waves that smile
And don their whiteplumed caps the while.
We are AT sea, Mt sen. at sea,
stu floating onward dreamily.
What is this marvel that is wrought
within our silent haunts OF thoughtf
We hail no ships of rOsea,e shells;
We catch no mermad's bridal bells;
No SIRENS song with ycarning stirs
The souls of drifting mariners,
The world alas hath waxed too wise
To trust her cradle luliabies;
Aud nevermore her feet may stand
In moonlight slades of fairyland
Yet, on the main whose gray heart beat
Beneath the westward sailing fleet,
That bore Columbus-'neath the sun
That shone on builded Babylon
Ourselves unto ourselves grow strange,
Made conscious 0f our mortal change.
We are the dream, and only we,
'rwixt the enduring sky ind sea,

From all accounts there are several
professional pickpockets lurking about
the depot in this city and yesterday
thew made good haul from former
Whining oman, NJ. Alexander Saville,
who had been on a visit to this city and
vas about taking his departure for his
home in Baltimore, on the noon train
when lie was crowded by three men as
he was getting upon the train, but sue
ceeded in getting aboard and thought
nothing of it. ,v
When the train arrived at Perryville,
he suddenly felt for his wallet, when
10 and behold it was missing, and he
at once concluded that 1t had been
taken Dy the three men who we're
Gro Tding him at the depot in this city.
His loss consisted of about $500 In
money besides number of valuable
papera, which he desires to get posses
sion of, as they are of no benefit to any
one else than the owner, and If the thiel
will return the papers he will be re
warded. The officials at the depot
should keep sharp lookout for all Sus-
picious characters who may come Il
| this city to uy their willy arts.
