Leona, the hour draws nigh,
| The hour we've waited SO long,
For the angel to open door through the sky
That my spirit may break through its prison
and try
Its voice in an infinite song
Just now, as the slumbers of night
Came DER me with peace-giving breath.
The curtain, half-lifted. revealed to my sight
Those windows which look on the kingdom OF
ligpt
That borders the river of death.
And vision fell solemn and sweet
Bringing gieams of a morning-lit land;
| saw the white shore which the pale waters
beat,
And heard the low lull as they broke at their
feet
/ Who walked on the beautiful strand.
And wondered how spirits could cling
To their clay with struggle. and sigh,
When lifes purple Autumn is better than
Spring.
And the soul flies away, like sparrow, to sing
In climate where leaves never die.
| Leona, come close to my bed,
And lay your dear hand on my brow;
The same touch that thrilled me in days that
are fled,
And raised the lost roses of youth from the
| dead
Can brighten the brief moments now.
| We have lived from the DID world apart,
And your trust was too generous and true
For their hate to o'erthrow; when the SLAM
derer's dart
Was ranking so deep in my desolate heart
Twas dearer than ever to you.
I thank the Great Father for this,
That our love is not lavished in vain;
Each germ in the future will blossom to bliss.
And the forms that we love and the lips that
we kiss
Never shrink at the shadow OF pain.
By the light of this faith am taught
That my labor is only begun;
In the strength OF this hope have struggled
and fought
With the legions of wrong til my armor has
caught
The geam of Eternity's sun.
Leona, look forth and behold
From headland, from hillside and deep,
The viking surrenders his banners of gold,
The twilight advances through woodland and
void.
And the dews are beginning to weep.
The moons silver hair lies uncurled
Down the broad-breasted mountains away;
The sunsets red glory again shall be furled
On the walls of the Vest, DER tde plains of the
world,
And shall rise on limitless day.
Oh :! come not in tears to my tomb,
Nor plant with frail flowers ths sod;
There is rest among roses too sweet for its
gloom;
And life where the lilies eternally bloom.
In the balm>bTeathIng gardens OF God.
Yet deeply those Memories burn
Which bind me to you and to earth,
And I sometimes have thought that my being
would yearn
Ia the land of the beautiful home to return
And visit the nome of its birth.
'Twould even be pleasant to stay
And walk by your side to the last;
But the land-breeze of heaven S beginning to
play
Life-shadows are meeting Eternity's day,
Ana its tumuit is hushed in the past
Leona sood-bye; should the grief
That is gathering now, ever be
Too dark for your faith. you will long for relief,
And remember, the journey though lonesome,
is brief,
O'er lowland and river to me.

Little Miss Mercy passed the night in a
state OF feverlsh excitement, weeping and
laughing historically at intervals. s'Was
John really In earnest in what he said, or
was 1t but continuation of an idle Jest ?''
He had called her dear, and his whisper
was fond, nay, almost tender
"Did he mean it seriously and could it be
that he loved her or was he bent on making
martyr OF himself to mistaken sense of
honor? If such was the case, she would
''never marry him-no, never, even though
her heart-string snapped in giving him up
at last.
When morning broke she was already up,
putting the house in order and packing her
trunk IN case anything should happen.
She dressed herself with care in a soft:
dark cashmere dress that might answer for
travelling dress, and after gathering
fresh cluster of her favorite chrysanthe-
NUNS, seated herself in the shadow of the
window te watch the passers-by. She
wouldn't Be silly enough to dress up in
flowers IN the morning unless. But then

Mr.. WATERMAN says,


ga few months ago was taken down with
severe sickness, which confined me to the house
quite long time, and much of the time was so
very lame as to be unable to walk, and my left
leg, from the hip to the toes, became monstrously
swollen, and suffered extremely from the con-
slant intense pains produced by so great lnfiam-
nation; Twas trying the various so-called cures,
all the time, and was under the treatment of
physician seven weeks, but getting no substantial
relief. At this time an old time friend, police
officer, called upon me, and during our converse
tion informed me of the great benefit which he
had obtained by the use of Hunts Remedy, and
urged me to try it, as he considered it wonder
full medicine. 1 commenced taking Hunts REM
edy, having very little faith that it would do
much in such stubborn case as mine, but my
doubt was soon dispelled, for before had taken
one bottle began to get better, the severe pains
disappeared the swollen leg gradually decreased
in size, and was encouraged to continue the use
of the Remedy; and the improvement to my
health continues, my appetite is good. have re-
gained my strength, and I am now performing
again my duties as watchlnan at the foundry.
Every night go up and down stairs more than
one hundred times, and am in good condition,
and feel that my recovery is due to Hunts REM
edy alone. My severe sickness and terribly
swollen leg was caused by the diseased state of
my kidneys, and think that it is most valuable
medicine that will so speedily relieve and cure
such severe case mine. I therefore most
cheerfully recommend Hunts Remedy to all
afflicted with Kidney Diseases, as 1 know it to be
safe and reliable remedy.''

readers of THE WATERMAN throughout the

your types made last week in announcing that
Christmas would be celebrated at the Congre-

could but think that good old pious Cabot was
fast going to the bad and the Sabbath was to be
used as regular holiday; but no such fears
need be entertained. 1t should have read
Tuesday evening; but it has proved one thing
beyond doubt that the items of the town are
