Isit beside the sinking fire,
Watch the weird faces IN its glow;
All through the night should not tire
But they have faded, long ago.
Ah-dust to dust-the last repose-
Ashes to ashes-well know
How surely this hath been with those,
Those whom loved so long ago.
How surely this with me will be
From every petty JOY and woe,
From faneied slight, from jealousy
Made free and safe-ahl long ago.
And yet may some things with us stay;
AS, on the waters, lilies blow
In white and green-just as they lay
In white and green, so long ago.
Tis pleasant now to think-"P Perhaps
In memorys slight ones face may glow
"0ut upon time for all things lapse
In that sad dreary, long ago
But when I'm dead, don't thon forget
Thou whom | used to treasure SO;
Yet may one tear thine eyelid wet,
Because loved thee-long ago!

Selected ~~Republished,
mot Beautiful"

They say thou art not beautiful,
To me thou art most fair
And shrined within my faithful heart,
Thine image dear wear
In every glance, III every smile,
see a nameless grace;
For love of mine, an angels soul
Shines through thy mortal face!
Thy hand is rough, and brown with toll,
let soft as summer rain
With light and soothing touch it falls
Upon the brow of pain;
The sufferer feels its healing power
Rob death of half its sting,
And deems that little toiLstained hand
White as angels wing.
And. sweetheart mine, no wildering lights
Flash from thy modest eyes;
Too timid is their downcast glance,
70 startle or surprise;
Yet would have them shining near,
To watch me when pray.
To keep my heart from worldly thoughts,
Sweet eyes of gentle gray.
No modern fashions MARI thy robe,
So softly flowing down;
Yet hangs nameless dignity
Around that simple gown,
No pretty simpering queen of art
Nor slave to fashion thou;
my pure and gracious womanhood
Is written on thy brow
throne of thought, that virgin brow
Hides in thy clustering hair.
Of ample breadth, that life may trace
Its noblest records there.
mot beautiful P'-my peerless queen
What idle words they speak,
Who may not mark Loves dawning blush
Shy mantllng DER thy cheek
''Not beautiful best beloved
Ii sweet and humble worth
Crowns not with perfect loveliness,
Then nought is fair on earth
The children fly from fair forms,
To cluster round thy knee;
And that they deem thee beautiful,
BY their fond looks | see
My only love! l would not dare
TO change thee if | could;
To me thou art most beautiful,
Because thou art SO good.
To me thy gentle face must be
The loveliest ever seem
The fairest face in all the world,
My love, my star, my queen

''Meine Kleine Hausenfrau. .
BY REBEcCA CAMERON.

Dear little head with brown braids rippled
over,
Softest brown eyes that are under the sun,
Sweetest red lips as fresh as the clover,
All! when praise can never have done.
For straightway I think of its chin with its
dinple.
So cunning it plays hide and-seek in the
snow,
And her voice like brook with it's ripple and
wimple,
And her cheek like rose in its exquisite
glow
Her step is as light as the dewfaI at even,
And her form, ah so airily dainty and
slight
That she seems like a star-maiden wandered
Toa home that without her were darker
than night
As deftly her housewifely tasks she is plying,
love songs gay ilt to her rosy lips springs
And in time to the measure white fingers are
flying
Ger thousand wise, womanly, delicate
things.
But, ah !! 'tis at eye when the days work is
ended,
And beyond our closed doors lie the world
and its strife,
That puzzle to know if seraph descended,
1t It's an angel or woman claim as my wife !
All! bonny brown head do you know that
your shining
Makes the light of the world in my worship
ing eyes
That about you each hope of my life is en-
twiningl
And that where you are only there my
heaven lies

The latest returns to the Illinois
department of agriculture give a
more discouraging outlook for the
growing wheat crop than one month
since. In the central and southern
divisions a large area of winter
wheat has been plowed up and the
land planted with corn. The partial
failure of over one third of the aver
age yield per acre in the southern
division will greatly reduce the crop
in the State.

Not Far.

Not far, not far from the kingdom,
Yet, in the shadow of sin,
How many are coming and going,
How few are entering in!
Not far from the golden gateway,
Where voices whisper and wait
Fearing to enter in. boldly,
So lingering still at the gate;
Catching the strain of the music
Floating so sweetly along,
Knowing the song they are singing,
Yet joining not in the song;
Seeing the warmth and the beauty,
The infinite love and the light,
Yet weary, and lonely, and waiting,
Out in the desolate night
Out in the dark and the danger,
0utin the night and the cold,
Though he is longing to lead them
Tenderly into the fold.
Not far, not far from the kingdom,
'Tis only little space;
But it may be the last aud forever,
Out of the resting place.

With faith that strengthens as they go,
With hearts to friendship given
They rob life journey Of its woe,
