Persian Patchwork.

Old-fashioned patchwork in which
our grandthothers delighted is the sub
Icct Of new departure. This novel
patchwork is made by cutting founda-
ton squares Of muslin, all the same
size, and arranging upon them odds
and ends Of silk )r ribbon, plush or
velvet, in any way the maker pleases'
basting them in position, and then
joining them together with feather
stitch in gold-colored floselle. The
squares when completed are joined to-
gether in the same way, and the result
is a harmonious confusion OF colOra
which has quite an Eastern effect.

SONG OF TIME.
How worn q theme is that Of timol
Theuwhy do | begin tn rhyme

How worn theme is that of time!
Thenfwhy do begin to rhyme
Upon it now
Because tonight the air is filled
With voices that will not be stillrd
They will not cease.
Aud Away sing the Same refrain
OF Time that ne'er will come again,
or Timethat flies.
OF all that Time sweeps in its flight
Tho voices sing to me tonight,
Time cures all care.
That is what would fain believe,
My heart Herewith do deceive,
With faith in Time.
Oh, voices singing, be you mute,
You touch chord on my hearts lutte
But seldom played;
Yet filling all the air around
With a sweet melancholy sound.
A song of Time
OF Time that was. of days so fair
When all was young. and love was there
Long days ago!
Be still be still that sad Eefrain
| dare not listen once again
To that same song!
Maybe 1 hold those days too high,
And yield them far too oft a sigh,
Those days long since
Yet as they were the fairest yet
Df all my days, then why forget
That happy time ?
Though IL it still should be my faith
To live yet happier days, the date
OF that sweet time.
I'll bury, then, within the grave
Which holds all things forgotten, save
The present time.
Nor heed a voice which whispers low,
The sweetest song is that you know
OF long ago."
SO with the voices in the air
| mingled mine, and, 10. was there
4 song OF Time.

" Heaven is more mcrclfuI to us than

And 50, in the pine-scrnted shadows

discovered the secret Of her own heart.

HUMBLED BY ADVERSELY.

After all" Celandine Bellairs said
as she leaned back in her chair, her
slippered feet half-buried in the silky
pile of a white Angora rug. her dim
pied hands clasped carelessly upon her
head, "it was only joke -

!" Probably congratulating himself

laugh "for it is an escape, if only

"But he loved you, Celandinc."
The beauty shrugged her shoulders.
"Men don't die of love in this nine

But, Celandine, stop and think"
pleaded Mrs. Hatfield, who was, in her
humble way, sort of second conscience
to her beautiful half-sister. "If you

think it a cruel and wicked thing. To
