MY TRUNDLE BED.

AS rummaged through the attic, lis.
tening to the falling rain,
AS 1t battered on the shingle and gainst
. the window pane,
Peeping DER the chest and boxes, which
!. with dust were thickly spread,
Saw in the farthest corner what was
once my trundle bed.
So drew it from the recess, where 1t
had remained so long,
Hearing all the while the music Of mo.
theirs voice in song,
As she sang in sweetest accents!what
since have often read;
"Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber
holy angels guard thy bed.''
AS l listened, recollections that /
thought had been forgot,
Came with all the gush of memcry rush
ing thrOnging to the spot;
And l wandered back to childhood, to
those merry days Of yore.
When | knelt beside nv mother by this
bed upon the floor.
Then it was, with hands so gently
placed upon my infant head,
That she taught my lips to utter care
fully the words she said,
Never have they been forgotten, deep
are they in mem'ry riven;
"Hallowed be Thy name, OH, Father!
Father! Thou who art in heaven .
This she taught me, then she told me
Of its import great and deep,
After which I learned to utter: stNow
lay me down to sleeps"
Then it was with hands uplifted, and
In accents soft and mild,
Then my mother asked our Father;
"Father do Thou bless my child"
Years have passed, and that dear mo-
ther long has moldered meath the
sod,
Aud trust her sainted spirit revels in
the home of God.
But that scene at summer twilight never
has from mem'ry fed,
And it comes in all its freshness, when
I see my trundle bed.

HOW THE GAY YOUNG MAN TOOK
IN THE LIVERYMAN.

They are telling this story about
town for fact; One day recently, a
young man while apparently heavy
with tangle foot, presented himself
to certain livery man and asked for
. team to take a ride, "Never lot
teams to intoxicated parties" was
the stiff reply. This blunt rebuff al
most sobercd the young man. It al
so provoked him to anger, and he
went of into profane whirlwind in
the Bombastes Furioso style, ending
up With shaking plethoric wsd
of greenbacks in the face of the as
tonished stable keeper, and Offering
to buy the best single team in the
barns. "Hitch up mighty quick,
and I'll pay you now" he said. Gall
right" Was the reply, aud a $500
team yrs prepared, the money paid
over, and AS the man drove away the
generous liveryman, who was elated
over good bargain, said to the pur-
chaser, If you bring the team back
all right you can have the money
again." This ended the 6rst act in
the play. TLree days after this,
however, there came climax. For
then it happened that the man re-
turned with the team and demanded
that the stable keeper look it over
carefully and see if it was all right.
He did SO and pronounced every
thing in perfect order. swell, give
me back my money and take your
team back then," said the man.
The stable man who neverlgoes back
on his word, counted out the $500
promptly and returned it, and the
man started to go. "Hold on"
shouted the other, s'you owe me
twelve dollars for the use Of the
team" II mover pay other people
for using my own team" was the re-
ply Of the gay young man as he
sauntered away and never returned.

the opportunity, and clasped in the
Squire's hand $40 gold piece with
the remark: "Hold the case until

complaint. It sets forth that 4 horse
had been stolen, while evidence
shows that It was mare.'' The
case went tripping along until the
sun had dropped behind the hills
and darkness Swallowed the land
Then the court raised the horse aud
