AT length the following east grew barred with

Across the farm; the cattle on the leas
Began to low. ] watched her; by degrees
Sleeps rosy letters melted, link by link.
What dream was hers? Her eyeids shook
And when the bright eyes opened, scared
and blue
She obed I know not what of passionate

Then told me what Gods angel of the years
Had whispered OF wild love; and :" Was it

AS il to lend the morning fragrancy,
She rose and opened the easement; round
the girl,
Like drops of sunshine firing each fair curl,
The dews fell glittering from the jasmine tree.
She turned and smiled and kissed her hand st
All, what wild rose whose petals half unfurl
Or creamy rosebud Veined with mother OF
pearl,
Might match that hand? All, what SO fair as
she?
Not morn hersef-not morn with all her
flowers
Though rich scents rose of hay and meadow
sweet.
And dead the night lay and the bright dimmed
hours
Seemed clustered round-seemed staying
their golden feet
Seemed drawing apart, with tremulous hands
but certain,
Fold after fold Of mornings rudy curtain!.
THREE YEARS AFTER.
Beneath the lovelicst dream there coils q fear:
Last night came she whose eyes are memories
now:
Her far off gaze eeemcd all forgetful how

Sorrow said, "hath made me old, my dear;

Oh, then saw the sweet lips move!

And when upon my neck she fell, my dove,

Few people seem properly 10 estimate

old man and this great old bear are
powerful factors in nursery discipline.

trembling in fear, submits at once and
goes to bed, probably to see in magma
ton all kinds of horrible faces.
The sad death of little Girl, which
occurred recently, shows what strong
impression these "boogers" make on
the minds of children. The little Girl
was beautiful child, and every one at
the fashionable boarding house where
her parents were spending the summer
months loved her with that purity of af-
lection which child so strongly in
spires. She would stand at the gate and
clap her little hands in glee when her
father came to dinner, and when he
would take her on his shoulder she
would shout and call to every one to
look how high she was. One day
large, shaggy dog came into the ward,
and when she ran to him and held a
flower to his nose he growled and turned
away. She was terribly frightened, and
the black nurse, who stood near, was
not slow in making q mental note of the
impression the dog had made. Several
nights afterward, when bedtime came,
the child was unusually wakeful.
~ er'd better come heah an cit in
dis bed, !" the nurse commanded.
Il don't want to.
''All right, den. Use gwine out an
call dat ole dog what growled at yer
When he comes an fms yer outen de
bed, he'll bite yer head off >"
The little girl grew deathlv pale.
''Nuthin' would suit dat dog better
dan ter cit chance at yer. 'Tother
night be cotch little girl across de
road an eat her ali up.
The child screamed.
''Come on here den, an l won't let
him ketch yer"
The poor little thing obeyed. Her
father and mother were at an entertain
ment, and there was no appeal from
the negro woman's decision. When
morning came the little girl did not
awake with her glad good morning papa
and mamma" She had tossed ali night
and a hot fever had settled upon her.
She grew rapidly worse, and the next
day the physician declared that there was
no hope for her. She became delirious,
and struggling, would exclaim:
DOG shan't have mammals girl
1t was q sorrowing circle that sur
rounded her death bed. The parents
were plunged into grief which none
but the hearts of fathers and mothers
can feel.
Her last moments were aseries of
struggles. How hard the beautiful can
die. She wildly threw up her little hands
and shrieked:
$50 away, dog"
A gentle hand wiped the death froth
from her lips.
Again she struggled and shrieked:
Dog shan't have" but she died
ere this sentence was finished.

An Indian A pant,

The President likes a good story, es-
pecially if it is quaint. An Indian agent,
who came East not long ago to get
something better than his agency, got
it just for the story he told. He said:
MIR President, when | got out to the
agency | found that those Indians were
just about to have their annual sun
dance. OF course, they invited the
agent, and of course the agent went. 1t
was very exciting. | had never seen a
sun-dance and | thought it was I'M
mense." And then he described the
wild ceremonies at length. Il watched
them," he said, las they jumped and
yelled, and yelled and jumped, and cut
themselves, and marched and counter
marched, and cut up like so many
painted devils All this time [ was a
spectator. But presently they began to
pass the fire water around. Of course,
they invited the agent to drink, and of
course the agent drank. In fact, he
drank q good deal-a good deal more
than he ought to. 1t wasn't long before
he found himself in the middle of the
ring, as wild as the rest of them, dane
inc, We ling and bowling. Then he was
4 part .ipator. He kept this up some
time, Mr.. President, and then, it is said,
Mr.. President, he got into fight with
a big buck and made SO much trouble
that they had to put him off the ground.
| don know about that, Mr.. President,
but [ know that very shortly after he
became a traveller, and now he would
like little softer berth little nearer
civilization. He got it for the tale he
told. -PbitadelphjG Record.

Indeed! Then you know them init

''Well, no, not exactly. Our families
can hardly be said to be very intimate,
and Mrs. b. has never called, but their
coachman is engaged to our hired girl,
and the degree OF intimacy existing is
sufficient to permit his coming over to

An illustration of the sagacity of q
dog, occurred few days ago, at Fall
River. Mr. William B. Baylies is the
owner of fine spaniel dog. A few
days ago a horse, left tied near a pond
broke loose, and by some mishap fell
into the pond where it was very deep,
and appeared to be too bewildered to
find its way out. The dog happening
to be strolling along the edge of the
pond and observing the danger the
horse was IN, instantly plunged in,
swan to the horse, seized the bride in
his teeth, and gradually pulled the
horse around and guided him to the
shore, where he could emerge from his
perilous condition.
