AT SUNSET.

Mark how the golden sunbeams quiver-
So they shone in the days gone by
When arm in arm by the quiet river
We wandered at sunset. she and !.
Oh! what beauty was in the island,
Oh what glow on the distant sea;
What halo of glory DER vale and highland,
That summer evening she walked with me.
The sky was bright, for it shone above her;
The earth was fair that she walked upon
And life was sweet-could 1 aught but love her,
As arm clasped arm while we sauntered on?
Has she forgotten that golden glory,
That path of light on the distant sea,
And the waves that murmered their lasting story,
That summer evening she walk ed with me?
All, well, perhaps-'tis the old recital
Oflove unlocked for and unbelieved!
Was she to blame for its mop -requital?
Was she to blame that my heart deceived?
Her love was friendship-my friendship loving,
That deepened still as the days went by,
Till it worshiped as there by the river rowing,
We wandered at sunset, she and L.
Well, well, God bless her! 'Tis mine forever,
That image of her in the days gone DER;
1 see it still by the quiet river,
1t walks by my side on the peaceful shore.
hear her voice in the low, soft signing,
AS comes the tide from the rolling sea,
Like her whispered words TO my words replying,
That summer evening she walked with me.
God bless her ever! pray unceasing,
In memory still ofthe days gone by
For that love remains, knowing no decreasing
We're friends forever, both she and |.
May her path still shine like the golden cleaning
That glanced so far on the distant sea,
And her life be sweet as my own fond dreaming,
That summer evening she walked with me.

The Story of Robin Adair.

A paper on ''Songs and Song Writers
was read before the Long Island Historical
Society in Brooklyn by Chief Justice Chas.
P. DAILY. He said that none of the great
composers of music, Handel excepted, had
been a great song writer, and Handel had
said that he would rather be the author of
the sweet Irish melody of "Eileen AroOn,
now known as "Robin Adair," than all the
other songs in the world. The speaker
told a story of the origin of "Robin Adair,
A young Irish physician of the name of
Robin Adair, walking to London, stopped
at an inn, where there was Countess
whose leg had been broken by the over
turning of stage coach. His profered
services were accepted, and he performed
his work so skilfully that she insisted he
should not leave her. Ultimately she took
him to London and introduced him to the
best social circles. He became enamored
of an Earl's daughter, and taught her to
sing "Eileen Aroon." Afterward he was
parted from her by cruel fate. She CON
nected his name with the song, using it for
the refrain, and at length the song as thus
changed was picked up and carried by
celebrated tenor upon the English stage,
where it met with the same instantaneous
success as did "Home, Sweet Home"
Justice DAILY said that the tune of "Auld
Lang Syne" had its origin in Catholic
vesper hymn; that yankee Doodle" was
originally sword dance, and that "John
Anderson nv Jo John" and "Cruiskeen
Lawn" were the same tune written in
little different time This tune was that
of an older song than either, which ran,
"There was little man who loved little
maid" and before that, in the time of
Queen Elizabeth, it was dance.

dropped by one of the Indians, and with
drawing the stopper, placed it as he wanted
it, fixed the sun glass so that the focus
would enter the horn, and stepping towards
the Indians, gesticulated fercely at them.
Instantly there was vivid flash and a

The English farmers work their wheat
lands several times over in order to pulVer-
ize them and admit air. As result wheat
annually averages over twenty eight bush
els per acre, and this, too, on soils that have
been constantly cultivated for centuries.
While they are thus careful in cultivation
they are not neglectful of manure, the crop
always paying for whatever expense may
have been incurred as well as profit.
