THE OLD FRONT GATE.


Where runs the highway north and south,
Within my dear. my native STATE,
Cpon its irun hinges swung,
Long years ago, the old frunt gate.
Twas where the milky hawthorn blow.
With fragrant breath perfumcd the hresze;
And where the spotted sycamore
Arose, the leopard Of the trees
The beech. the walnut, and the elm.
Their branches spread the woods within.
The cherry, ash and hickory.
The aspen, and the slender linn
How fondly, sadly recall
The days when j, with joy elate,
To wander mong the swaying trees,
Would trip it through the old front gate.
With iron latch that elanked SO loud.
In fancy Ibehold il still;
And deity fashioned posts as wen
That spoke my sires unquestiooed skill.
No more. alas. oh. never,nore
Ny hand that friendly latch may rAis.i
Tho old front gate b broken now,
And numbered with my boyhood daysi
The posts have fallen Ia the ground
And how replaced may not knowi
bade that homestead dear farewell
All, twenty tedious years ago.
For shining ore our claim ve sold:
A strangers plowshare cleaves the sd:
A strangers children ramble now
Where my young feet 50 gaiiy tredi
Twere vain to sigh for yanizhsd years!
Twere vain to argue with my fate!
To boyheod days farewell ta aye,
Farewell for aye, the sh front gate,

Children iu the Upited States have
generous provision made fur their COM
fort and good cheer. In NO part of the
world are chillren better carel for. Hol-
days abound and schools are graded to
every capacity. A new literasure has
grown up for their benefit, consisting Of
papers and books, such as were never
seen before. Music is taught in the
family and in the public school, and al
most every boy and girl can sing.
An American lady, travelling in the
East. speaks of the great contrast be-
tween children there and here. All the
children she SOW in Mohammedan coun-
tries seemed preternaturally sober, and
without love for sports. She says:
"What always lmpresses me more
than ANYTHING else In Egypt and Pales-
tine is the entire absence of cheerful
and exhilarating music, especially from
children. You never hear them sing in
the huts. Ineyer heard . song that ds-
serves the name in the streets or houses
of Jerusalem. - YOUTHS Companion.

At y meetinR Of Spiritunlists in Chica-
edium toll about remarkable
".e of work on the part OF the spirits,
icI', Ii. affirmed, was the means of
nrertiny him. He said that some
nee years ago he was sitting in his
ar'or, when some unseen agent sud
s.,hy sc;z i him, and carried him out Of
lie house. anil s>.ong the streets, until
a'sey rea' he'd q hall, where Freemason
'a,ge WIS in session. He further stated
hat the spirits hore him up three flights
IT stairs and into the hall, having be-
come 30 thoroughly ethereal that the
'loorkeeper could not see him as he
passed by. When he got within the
portal, however, the body seemed to re-
turn to him. The members began to crowd
around him, and to snuff at him with
their noses, as If he didn't smell good,
though, as he hadn't been drinking any
more than usual, and his breath wasn't
surcharged with an abnormal odor Of
limhurger, he ooulda 'texactly see where
the fun came in. He naturally asked
what the trouble was, aud was told that
hemust leave tha hall. The occurrence so
impressed him that he went to spiritul-
istic meeting, where they all began, as
OF one accord, to smell of him again,
just as they did at the lodge. The
spirits then lifted him out Of his chair
and carried him across the room to a
certain lady who was sitting there. He
attempted to stop, but it was no good.
The lady scented him while he was yet
afar, and sheered of, and he was left
standing against the wall.
Another person said he had often
talked with the spirits and shaken hands
with them, when they seemed to melt
away in his grasp. He further stated
that he could take a photograph Of any
man and tell from it the mans charac-
ter and aims in life. He could also tell
