 "IN THE oLOAMlN0."
BY SYLVIA E. WALSH.

In the gloaming when the shadows Soft and low begin to creep, When above in golden splendor
 Twinkling stars begin to peep; When from out among the shadows Sounds the night owls lonely cry, Ali unbidden come before ne
 Thoughts and dreams of days gone by. Then see reproach!Gl faces
 or the friends know must be, Through my errors and my follies Dead forever unto me. They who see their we'll beloved Lain beneath the churchyard sod, Know that only death could part them. Yield them only unto God. Worse the dead who still are living, For they pass us coldly by, Meet our longing glance with silence, And scornful downcast eye. Buried dead may be forgotten,
 Time can soften every smart, Save the anguish of repentance
 To contrite, broken heart. Vain it cries in all its sorrow
 sGive me back my friends again." But no answer e'er is given,
 And the longing is in vain. So my poor heart sick with sorrow, Thinks of wasted bygone years, Hopes for better in the future
 Crying out in grief and tears: "God in mercy, may my errors
 Purified by keenest pain, Pass away as fade the shadows,
 When the sunshine comes again."

Spring cana The snow that had lain for months on the mountains began to melt slowly, and prospectors talked oi grub-stakes. Old Billy's claims had not been disturbed since he died. No one supposed them of any value. It was known that ae was without wife or child ren. Oae day the chamber-maid Of the Grand found sheet of tinted paper be- hind the bed in the room that had once been old Biily's. She was a lazy, care less girl, and the paper had lain undis- turbed for more than three months. As she could not read writing, she carried it to Little Nan. But Little Nan herseli could not read writing readily. She glanced at the few lines on the paper and spelled ont the name William Sruthers at the bottom of the page.
 Maybe it's somethin' bout his claims. I'll take it to Mir. Nickleson. He can read it right off."
 So on her way to rehearsal Nan stepped into MT. Nickiesoas office and handed him the little sheet of pink tinted paper.
