A Very Nice Pair.

Miss Sousie set one slipper tip upon

curls against the mantel. She had
noted the elongation of her guests aris-

''Oh, don't mention obscurity," with

Mrs Deane rose. There was a faint

girl.
"Good-by I am so sorry you are

Then Mrs Deane withdrew the velvet

AS Bob had anticipated, Colonel Camp

missed by at least two members Of the

feeling like a pair of conspirators, as we
were, we directed the envelope, put the

it should be sent, for we thought little
delay would look more natural. One thing
that troubled US little was directing the
envelope. 1t seemed to us like forgery,
but Bob conquered my scruples, and his

colonel happy again. I must confess I had

Hot SPRINGS, Ark, July 27, 1885.
DEAR JOURNALS: You are a pleasant
visitor, coming on the Sabbath, awakening
kind and tender thoughts by your elevated
tone of morals All admirers of the pure
and good cannot be otherwise than appre-
ciative when they are entertained by intel
Iigence, combined with christianity. In
deed we should regard it as great bless
ing to possess the privilege of praising the
Divine Master, and loving His followers.
Those who shed one ray Of light to the
saddened heart by an open expression of
faith in the love of Jesus will surely be re-
warded for their works.
The heat is oppressive, but the enthusi-
asm in the cause Of Christ continues at the
Tabernacle" and feeling of interest
seems to prevade the entire city. The tent
is stretched in front of the Sumpter House,
and the whole space, even outside the tent
is crowded Rev. Henry May conducts
the services and expounds the gospel in his
terse original style, being converted Jew
causes many to heed his Interpretation of
the Bible, who heretofore have waited for
more convenient season to serve God.
The altar is filled each night with peni-
tents seeking salvation. Near three hun
dren conversions have been reported. The
ministers here have labored faithfully for
the past ten weeks, praying that the love Of
God may usurpall sin and corruption from
our midst. 1t is impossible to conjecture
when the meeting will close, as Mr.. May is
at the Sumpter Honse, and the

To break the clouds OF sorrox everywhere.

Anu once again will beat thy window pane
With, restless huttering wing.
But those same swallows that restrained their
flight,
That fingered lovingly in years before.
To thy charms and my delight
Those Will return no more.
Thy honeysuckle once a lain will bloom.
It's sprays will climb the lattice of thy bower,
And with new beauty in the twilight gloom
Its buds will burst to flowers
But blossoms fair of summers that are past.
Blossoms bedecked with trembling drops oil
dew.
whIch fell like tears OF day, too weet to last
They will not bloom anew.
Passionate words may the stern silence break,
And burning VOWS upon thy ear may fall
Thy heart, perchance. from sleep profound

But that blind alteration. given In vain,
Those fond illusions. dear rs they were fleet,
No other will bestow on thee again
Never again, my sweet.
