offered to take the party at a much lower
rate. Much Indignation is felt at this for

In the quiet hush OF evening,
As we watch the dying light
Fading Into murky shadows,
Sinking Into dusky night;
How often from our musings
or life's sorrows and Its cares,
Do we turn and mutely listen
For the footsteps on the stairs.
And when midnights slumber gently
Gains the weary heart to rest,
And the soul in joyful visions
OF our childhood's days Is blest;
When the past, with all Its music
And Its old remembered airs,
Wake us from our dreams, we listen
For the footsteps on the stairs.
When tho heart with grief Is burdened,
With Its daily toll and pain,
And we feel tho sun OF pleasure
VIII not rise for us again;
And the spirit breathes Its sorrow
Forth in silent, voiceless prayers,
Then we long to hear the music
or the footsteps on the stairs.
In the homo OF the hereafter,
Where their waiting spirits stand,
Watching for their loved ones coming
To that purer, better land;
Then their angel lore Will teach us
To forget all earthly cares;
Only then we'll cease to listen
For the footsteps on the stairs.
