THE OLD HOME.

Return, return" the voices cried,
ITO your old valley. far away;
For softly on the river tide
The tender lights and shadows play
And all the banks are gay with flowers,
And all the hills are sweet with thyme;
You cannot find such bloom as ours
In yon bright foreign cline ="
For me, thought, the olives grow.
The sun hes warm upon the vines
And yet, will arise and go
To that dear valley dim with pines
Old loves are redwelling there, Isaid,
Untouched by years of change and pain,
Old faiths, that had counted dead,
Shall rise, and live again.
And still Return, return" they sung,
with US abides eternal calm
In these old fields, where you were young
We culled the heart's-ease and the balm
For US the fiocks and herds increase,
And the children play around our feet
At eve the sun goes down in peace
Return; for rest is sweet
Then l arose, and crossed the sea.
And sought that home of younger days
No love OF old was left to me
(For love has wings and seldom stays
But there were graves upon the hill,
And sunbeams shining on the sod,
And low winds breathing, a" Peace, be still
Lost things are found in God

Help Yourself.

The latest amusing story OF a
wedding, told by a minister, comes
from one who officiated on the oc-
casion. 1t illustrates the manner in
which mans heart can swell and
prompt him 20 almost reckless lib
erality under extraordinary condi-
tions.
A big, rawsboned farmer entered
Mr.. Freeman's parlor one day, ac-
compahied by shy but comely girl
and desired that the marriage cere-
mony be performed.
The minister complied with the
request, and when the fateful words
were spoken, and the youg couple
had been made man and wife. the
husband drew from his pocket four
bright silver quarter dollar pieces.
He extended them towards the
minister on his open palm, and ex-
claimed:
There. brother F., just help
yourself until you are satisfied
The minister took one,
Whether or tot the good minister
expressed bis satisfaction, or went
away in sullen and ungrateful si-
lence. we are not informed.

A Curious swedish Legend.

The I'd of February in Sweden is
considered the midwinter day. In
the era Of paganism il was great
festival in honor OF the heroine Goa
OF Goja, deiiied under the name of
Disa, 10 whom the whole month was
consecrated beside. The legend of
Goa is very curious. 1t states that
at one time, when the country was
visited by a frightful famine, the
Thing, or national assembly, decided
that, in order to alleviate the gener-
al distress, it would be necessary to
put to death a part OF the population,
especially the old and infrm. Goa
alone dared to protest loudly, and
claimed to be able to propose a
means to remedy the dearth which
would prove more efiicaeiOus as well
as more humane. The king order
ed the execution of the decree to be
postponed, but in the interim, desir-
ing to test the sagacity Of the young
girl, and to confound her audacity,
he sent her word that he would only
receive her on condition that she
would come to his dwelling neither
on foot nor on horseback, nor in q
vehicle, neither dressed nor undress-
ed, neither in the course of a year
nor during any particular month,
neither by day or by night. Goa
solved the enigma. She came to
the kings house on a sledge drawn
by goat, holding on to the side Of
the sledge, with one foot resting on
the pole Of the sledge, the other on
the goat. She wore a fishing net
only in lieu of garments. and she
came exactly at the epoch ofthe sol
stlce, when the month is still unde-
termined, at the time of full moon
but while it was yet twilight. Being
permitted to speak, she advised that
the old and infirm, in lieu of being
exterminated, should be merely sent
to the still unpeOpled parts Of the
country, where they would be able
to obtain the means OF existence
without being any burden to the
community. The king liked the ad-
vice and as the adviser had charm
ed him by her beauty and her wit,
he took her for his wife.
