Where are you going so fast. oil man?
Where are you going so fast?
There's valley 10 cross and river to ford,
There's a clasp of the hand and a parting word
And tremulous sigh for thee, Old man;
The beautiful, vanished past.
The road has been rugged and rough, old man
To your feet it's rugged and rough;
But you see g dear being with gentle eyes
Has shared your labor with sacrifice;
Ah that has been sunshine enough, old man,
For you aud fne. sunshine nough.
How long Stree yen passed n'er the hill, old
man,
OF life? Ger Inc top Of the hill?
Were there beautiful valleys on either side?
Were there flowers and ;rees with their branch
us wide,
To shut off the heat of the sun, old man,
The heat of the fervid sun?
And how did you cross the waves, old man,
OF sorrow, the fearful waves?
Did you lay your treasures by, one by one,
With an aching heart and Goods will be
done,"
Under the wayside dust, old man,
In the grave meath the wayside dust?
There is sorrow and labor for you. old man;
Alas there is sorrow for all;
And you, peradventure, have had your share
For eighty long winters have whited your
hair,
And they've whitened your heart as we'll,
old man,
Thank God, your heart as well.
You're now st the foot of the hill, old man;
At last at the foot of the hill, old man;
The sun has gone down in golden glow,
And the avenly city lies just below.
Go in through the pearly gate. cid man

| Where the dead and dying lay,
wounded by bayonets. shells, and balls,
somebody's daring was borne one day
Somebody's darling, 50 young and SO bra vf
Wearing yet ON his pale, sweet face,
Soon to be hid By the dust of the grave.
The lingering ligh. of his boyhood's grace
Matted and damp are the curls of gold,
Kissing the snow OF the fair young brow.
Pale are the lips of delicate mould
Somebody's darling is dying now.
Back from his beautiful blue-veined brow,
Brush all the wandering waves of GOLD!
Cross his hands on his bosom now
Somebody's darling is still and cold.
KISS him once for somebody's sake
Murmur prayer both soft and low;
one bright curl from lis fair mates take
They were somebody's pride. you kncv,
Somebody's hand hath rested there
Was ita mothers soft and whitee
And have the lips of sister fair
Been baptized in the waves OF light?
God knows best! he has somebody's love
Somebody's heart enshrIned him there.
Somebody waited his name above,
Night and morn on the wings of prayer.
Somebody wept when he marched away,
Looking so handsome, brave, and grand,
Somebody's kiss on his forehead lay,
Somebody clung to his parting hand.
Somebody g waiting and watching for h M
Yearning to hold him again to heart,
And there he lies with his blue eyes din,
And the smiling, child-like lips apart.

Pausing to drop on his grave a tear,
Carve in the wooden slab at his head,
Somebody's darling lies sleeping here

A STRANGE DESIRE
Or
THE DYING REQUEST.
BY ARTHUR ]. BRANDT,
AUTHOR OF ssTHE SHADOW ON THE SNOW"

BELLE" ETC.
CHAPTER III.

L
In the meantime, Roland Cavel paced
the small drawing room in fever of ex-
citement, for the words of the butler made
him fear Janet would not obey his sum-
mons, and if she did not, what could he
do?
To whom else could he communicate the
thoughts which were disturbing his tran
quility-the idea that had suggested itself
to his mind?
He believed she was hesitating before
she knew that he wanted her. He did not
suspect that anything would occur to delay
his message when Browne went off with
such alacrity, for of course he thought the
house-maid, to whom it was to be trans
ferred, would trip up stairs with equal
speed.
Just as he was on the point of going in
high dudgeon to the butler's pantry, the
handle of the door was softly turned, and
Janet Mason entered the room.
She stepped very lightly, closed the door,
and stood waiting.
How pretty she looked in her dainty lit
net cap resting like white butterfly upon
her fair, naturally -wavy hair-in her bibb-
ed muslin apron and black dress, edged
with fairy-like lace.
Roland Cavel had several opportunities
of seeing her, but he had never noted until
then, her simple, refined beauty, her ele-
giant carriage, her becoming costume. He
had only noticed that she was superior to
the other servants, and had concluded, by
Lady Maud's preference for her, that she
had more intelligence and discretion than
the former.
Perhaps Mr.. Cavel would have been
more observant if his mind had not been
pre-occupied by another fair face.
He bowed to Janet, as if saluting lady;
and then said with little hesitation,
'Janet, pardon me for intruding on your
privacy; I know You are grieving deeply
for the death of my aunt; but could not
help it. II am miserable
''How, sir?' exclaimed Janet, advancing
few steps in her surprise. care you ill?,
GIL? no!' replied Roland motioning
Janet to be seated. ''Sit down, and will
tell you all about it."
But, instead of complying with his re-
quest, Janet answered, quietly, 81 can
hear you as well standing, Mr.. Cavel; it
would scarcely be becoming in me to sit in
your presence. Besides, some one might
come in.n
mo. one shall come imp cried Roland
Cavel, impatiently. clock the door, Jan
ct, and then we cannot be disturbed"
Il would rather not, SIR" said Janet,
simply.
The young man made few hurried
strides across the room. He was evidently
displeased, but sought to conceal the feel
ing.
swell, WE'LL" he said, at last, edo as
you please. Perhaps you are right-a
locked door might raise strange suspicious
Pray see, however, that we. are not over
heard"
"We are not likely to be overheard
here, replied Janet. "My lady was ac-
customed to do all her private business in
this ROOM"
But Roland Cavel was not satisfied. He
went out into the corridor and looked to
right and left; seeing no one, he returned
quickly shut the door, and turning towards
Janet, who had moved a little to one side,
said rather abruptly, "Cannot you guess
what troubles me9''

BURCHARD's BLUNDER.-The Rev. DR..

knowledges that if he could have foreseen
the use and application of the terms "rum,
Romanism and rebellion to the injury OF
Mr.. Blaine and the republican party ''tbey
would never have found utterance." While
,regretting their misuse and application, DR..
Burchard still maintains that the "allitera-

ed application"
