"Owed" to Printers.

When luckless printers stop to credit,
And find too late that men won't pay
What charms can sOoth the scrbes who edit?
What art can wash the doubt away?
The only art their case can better,
To wiring the money when it's due,
To give repentance to the debtor,
And wiring his pockets-is to sue.

At Home.

At Home.
Written for THE EVENING STAR.
My cottage home is on narrow street.
Only little, very simple home,
B tut here the city and the country meet,
And forest walls support the skyey dome;
The reat oaks, westward on their grand hill be,
And, eastward, hills and trees still welcome me-
VIII at though as in a telescope dwell,
While beauty either way beyond is seen7
Even glimpse OF nature plcases well,
An d with my window-floyers greet the green
Living around me- and the sunny sky,
And woo the sweet, wild breeze that wanders BY
Mine is the SUNRISE and the sunset mine.
Unlike, forever changeful, charming still;
The moon at early eve, her late decline,
The densely-sprinkled stars, inspire me, thrill,
And lure my daring soul to soar and gain
Infinite mysteries-yet lure in vain.
Out-ga zing thus, lose my home confined,
1 feel my life the nobler, happier grow,
That not In narrow walls is chained my mind,
And free-born fancy where she will may 60.
OFT, too, tread, with Independent feet.
Surrounding scenes OF Beauty's coy retreat:
Whence bring back their images In rhyme,
OR, tinted with the pencils love-touch glad,
TO make fond music for some after time,
And re-ilume the sight with Joy 1t had
With Joy it had, and thus may ever hold
Still brighter when the world is dark and cold.
So from my "very simple home" come good,
To me, to mine-and who may marx the end?-
Helping to form that dreamed-of brotherhood
Wherein base passions shall no more contend,
And Earth, acceptable to Him above,
Glow In the glory Of eternal love!

The Good Wifc,s PhilOSODhv

The good wife BUSTED about the house,
Her face still bright with pleasant smile,
AS broken snatches OF happy song
Strengthened her heart ana hand the while
Inc good man sat in the chimney nook,
His little clay pipe within his lips,
And all he'd made and all he had lost,
Ready and Clear on his finger tips.
"Good wife, I've Just been thinking bit,
Nothing has done very well this year;
Money is bound to be hard to get
Everything'S bound to be very dear:
HOW the cattle are going to be fed,
How we're to keep the boys at school,
Is Kind OF q debt and credit sum
can't make balance by my rule"
She turned her around from the baking bread,
AND Sire faced him with cheerful laugh;
why, husband, dear, one would think
That the good, rich wheat was only chan.
AND what II the wheat was only chan,
AS long as we both are we'll and strong;
I'm not woman to worry bit,
Somehow or other we get along.
'Into some lives some rain must fall.
over all lands the storm must beat,
But when the rain and storm are DER
The after-SunShine is twice as sweet
Through every straight we have found a road.
In every grle1 we have found song;
We have had to bear, and had to wait,
But somehow or other We get along.
"For thirty years we have loved each other.
r, stood by each other whatever berell:
SIX boys have called us father and mother
And all OF them living and doing well.
we owe no man penny. my dear,
We're both OF us loving, and well and strong,
Good man, wish you would smoke again,
And think how well we've got along"
he filled his pipe with pleasant laugh;
He kissed his wife with tender pride;
tie SAID, ''Pll do as you tell me, love,
III just count up on the other side"
She LETT him then with his better thought,
And lifted her work with low, sweet song
A song that followed me many year,
Somehow or other, we get along.

Far Apart.
Beneath the quaint old bridge you hear
The waves make music as they pass;
And winding to the elm tree near,
You see the pathway through the grass.
Where We were wont TO walk, alas,
The river wanders as Of old
Beneath the shade OF willow trees:
The sunlit waters CLEAN like gold,
And ripple to the gentle breeze;
But am far from thee and theSei
The sky bends over, broad and blue,
And in the soft and mellow light
You tread the lane our footsteps knew
In former times, when days were bright:
DO these days bring such sweet delight?
And still that lane with grass is green:
With fragrant flowers the banks are fair:
In golden gloss and silver sheen
The bees still haunt the balmy air:
But you Will fail to ind me there.
Again, perchance, may not see
The rustling rows OF willow trees
(which lent a leafy canopy
when we StrOlled underneath at easel:
For am far from thee and these.
Our joys fOrsake US. Soon does spring
Pass by and for the summer call;
Soon do the birds lose heart to sing.
When fading leaves In autumn fall:
And winter Is the end OF all.

Brilliant coral are herllps,
