MY LOVE AND 1.
We loved each other my love and l.
And the wind sighed low through the tassele

We loved each other, my love and I;
And the wind sighed low through the tasseled
corn
The bobolink sang in the deEy morn,
And the brook ran merrily 10y.
We loved each other. my love and /;
And the quail piped low mid the yellow corn.
We heard in the distance the huntsman's horn.
Andth leaves were brown and dry.
We looked to the future my love and I,
The future so crowded with hopes and fears.
That turns our smiles so often to tears,
As the days pass wearily by.
He spoke of the time when we Two should dwell
Together beneath fair southern skies,
Where the rose in its fragrance never dies
And love hears no parting knel
The corn was ganered long years ago
Tie bohoiiuk $ song is heard no more
only shadow falls through The door
Where he used TO come and 90.
The sea is wide, and it lies between
Ny love and l. my love and l.
Where the flowers bloomed dead leaves now lie
And the grass Ger mis- grave is green

WHY THEY BECAME episcopal
MINIsTERs.-A writer in the PhHddel-
phiG Methodist in sketching a strong
pamphlet that Rev. DIR. John A. Roche
wrote just before the session of the
General Conference IA copy of which
the author has recently favored us
with, entitled Perils of the Economy
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, y
closes with the following allusion to
his family:
DIR. Roche has been greatly blest in
his domestic relations. His second
wife filled nobly the place'of the first,
and still remains at his side. Two
lovely daughters are with them. His
two surviving sons are pastors of great
promise in the ministry of the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church. How they
came to be there is hut another in
stance of their fathers sOundness OF
Judgment and fidelity to the church of
his own choice. When they felt they
must preach, and said to him they
would be always obliged to read their
sermons, he said to each, Then enter
the Protestant Episcopal ministry,
Whatever may be the opinions OF
others, my opinion is that any one who
must read from n manuscript is not
fitted for the the ministry of the Meth
Odist Episcopal Church.

The Hdwe Republican, which keeps

have concluded to quit the business

ping. After the old horse had stood there
in the cold about four hours, they came
around, put their goods in the wagon, IN
hitched their steed, led him into the street,
got into the wagon, and gave the word to &C.
The old charger shook his head; they re-
peated the order when he made one plunge
and both women went over backward into
the hind end of the wagon. A good looking
harness maker saw the accident and rushed
to their assistance He got them on the seat
again in good shape, took the old gray by the
bit hoping to get him started all right; but
he declined to be led and began to back,
running the wagon round in a circle like a
traction engine at county fair, with the 6
b IN hanging to the bit, and the old ladies
pushing on the lines. Suddenly, the old
pegasus stopped. the g ] h m said some
naughty words to him, he stood a moment,
then made break for Waverly at a 2:40
gait leaving the poor harness maker sprawl
ing on the ground. He has since been lame,
and claims to have had an attack of inham-
matory rheumatism.
