We have seen youths precious morning
Swiftly fly;
We have seen life's summer bloom
Quick for autumn shade make ROOM
We have watched the rustling flight
OF liIe'S song-birds out OF sight;
We have known the hopes and fears
Crowding full life's busy years;
All the changes, who can tell
Since love rang our wedding.bell,
Lies great joy, that came, we know,

We have planned and hoped together,

We have sowed to reap together,

Not the good for which we CROPPED,
Not the harvest that we hoped,
Always waited but no frost
" CT uOlllt , AhISSiOiu ever CIOSScu
Come what might of good or i'll,
Mutual love kept shining still;
And when life some joy denied,
Love still found us side by side,
With the trust we learned to know

We have lived and tOiled together,
Wife and i;
We have mourned and wept together,

We have clasped in tender arms
BabyhOod's sweet, winsome charms,
And the church.yard holds name
Only John and claim;
While from childhood's home we miss
A fathers smile, a mothers kiss,
Yet our changing hearts still say,
awe will walk life's chosen way
Just the way we learned 10 know
Five and twenty years ego"
We must walk life's shadowy valley,
WIFE and
Locks OF brown will turn to silver
BY and by:
Lines will mark the once smooth face;
Care and grief will leave their trace
Hands will not so lightly move,
Love, by tender tasks to prove
Feet will slow and slower take
Countless steps for loves sweet sake;
But, dear heart, what can we ask
More than this, that age may bask
In loves rays, that frightened so
Give and twenty years ago"

tend night school, and thus kept
himself more respectable than a good
many other boys Of his rank in life.
One summer Chips thought that he
would go fishing, and started fer the
country, leaving his affairs in charge
of two boys whom he had hired to
help him.
Arriving at his destination, a small
town about ten miles from the city, he
hired fishing tackle and set off for a
stream to which he had been directed.
Fishing was something new to
Chips, so it is no wonder that he did
not catch anything. In about two
hours he became so disgusted that he
packed his things and was just going
to start for home, when he heard cry
for help. He followed up the sound
and arrived just in time to see two men
hurrying off, leaving another man
lying in the road.
Chips went over and examined the
man, who though somewhat older
looking, was recognized by the aston
ished boy as Mr.. Armstrong.
Fortunately he was only stunned,
so he soon recovered and explained to
Chips that while walking along the
road man suddenly caught and held
his arms, while his confederate took
his money and jewelry, but on hearing
the footsteps of Chips both men made
off, having first given their victim a
blow which knocked him down.
"Mr. Armstrong! All, I see you
are astonished that l know your name,
but listen, and | will tell you," said
Chips.
He then related all to the gentle>
man, who listened attentively until
Chips took the money (Which he always
carried with HIM out of his pocket
and handed it to him. He protested,
but Chips would hear of nothing but
acceptance, SO, after hearty laugh at
the whole affair, Mr.. Armstrong took
the money with the interest added.
Mr.. Armstrong asked: what is
your name, bOy?"
Chips, sir"
"Chips what?"

not know how to do things properly
Can you read, write and cipher?'

"Well, my boy, that will do. But
you must have a name"
Chips went to the city with Mr.
Armstrong, and under the name Of
Ralph Armstrong entered into his new
life, after having transferred his old
business to two deserving boys.
