CHANGES.

Like one who hears with sudden throb of sad
ness
The lingering cadence Of an old refrain
Which wakes the echoes of the vanished glad
with tender pain
So stand l now with mingled pain and pleasure,
After long absence, at a well knONn door,
Which guarded once my Darling my heart s
treasure.
In days Of yore.
stil bloom the roses with their old-time sweet.
Round the dear cottage in my native land;
Trimmed is the hedge with all its wonted neat
The old elns stand.
sim slopes the lawn in beautiful graduation,
Like a soft carpet of the richest green;
Stil leaps the fountain with its light pusation,
Frightening the scene.
Years have not changed it; now as then the
river
Winds in the distance like a silver stream;
Through the old orchard still the sunbeams
W. And brightly CLEAN.
All, but no voice Of sweetest m1duation
Nor rippling laughter greets my listening ear;
All the bright scene but breathes in desolation,
She is not here"
mot here not herer the murmuring elm trees
sigh it.
Her cherished roses mournfulIy reply it
1-. In odors sweet
Der the soft lawn the shadows westward creep
DarkiY enfold me at the rose-grt door
In deeper shadows lies my dear love sleeping,
To wake no more

'The person who should charge

recently remarked Col. Ludlow III a
lecture delivered in Philadelphia.
"The majority OF people who die in

years of age. and this high rate is due

times cherry, often times birch and
gum wood. A short experience re-
veals the deception. Some years ago
piano manufacturers bought the hand

taste demanding darker wood than

that many of the cheaper piano cases
Of to-day are nothing but maple
stained. The value of rosewood lies
in its figure and color, and these are
ever VARYING.

animals receiving a premium beyond Il
reasonable doubt purely bred as
claimed. They are further instructed
that if they shall have good reason to
believe that any exhibitor, by any
false entry or otherwise, attempted to
deceive the committee or the public,
and obtain a premium by misrepresen
tation, they shall! report the fact at
once to the General superintendent,
who will cause an investigation of the
case; and if it is clearly shown that
fraud was attempted, the exhibitor
thus offending must under the order of
the executive officers of the society, be
