A maid and lover, one fine day,
Were through the greenwood straying;
The maiden's face was wreathed in
smiles;
He earnestly was saying:
"I'll never, never love but thee;
Thy love beyond all price is,
And l have built little house
On yonder hill that rises.
"This cottage is pretty place,
And bread and cheese I'll furnish;
Yon genteel place is all your own,
To sweep and scrub and burnish."
Then spake the maid, go Dickl en-
shrined
Within my heart your face is;
I'd fain step DER my own threshold
That loveliest of places"
A hug or two he gave her then;
For DER his heart feeling
OF Joy which must expression have
Most rapturously came stealing.
A little verbose were they both;
But that to naught amounted,
The woods were needless of their words,
Nor looks nor tones were counted

THE chief justice of England, who
visited this country last year, takes
pleasure in relating the following of
Hon. William M. Evarts; He says they
were standing near the tomb of Wash
ington, when he asked Mr.. Evarts if
George Washington was a giant, for he
had been told that George Washington,
standing where they did, could throw a
silver dollar across the Potomac. "Do
you believe it 2" asked the chief JUS
tice. Mr.. Evarts looked across the river,
as though calculating the distance, and
replied: " A dollar would go further in
those days than now"

different grades of people, and the religious portion
feel 1t their duty to hold religious service no matter
whether 1t be held tabernacles made by human
hands, or in the groves-"God's first temples'-you
will always find just such mixture of human beings
that community contains.
There is class of human beings protesting Chris
tianity who never pleased unless they the
first ones consulted about the matter. At times you
will hear their voices mingng with others in prayer
and songs of praise, at another time one of these

of saloon, smacking his lips and grinning with de-
light at the savory flavor of the spirit he imbibed
therein. 1t said of of those moral and religious
