LOVE AND DEATH.

Life may hold sweetness yet I: would
not die
For he might come with smiles upon
Then from my heart the weary years
would Slip
AndI should greet him witha joyous
Forgiyingand forgetting ali the past
just for the sake Of love come back al

Oh, life may yet be sweet would not
Child, Fate has not been kind to you and
Your baby kisses could not ease my
While in that other face looked in
vain
For signs of what knew cold never be-
Oxen Idrew away your clinging grasp,
To seek again that cold and careless
clasp.
No; life has not been kind to you and
me.
And Death is coming. All, will Death
be kind ?
Will he some day bring me my truant
love ?
VI oudli iiOdt III ctu6F pure ABOVE.
Passionless, sexless, and not hope to find
Him who made life blessing and a
curse
Will Death bring better. happier time, or
worse
All, Death is coming fast will he be kind
Love. have you never known one bitter
hour
Never looked back with tender, sweet
regret
To that past happy summer when we
met,
When first I knew my beauty-fatal
dover =
Had chained your roaming fancy
What chain
Woven in madness from despair and
pain,
And idly worn to kill an idle hour.
Child, listen to me Love is worse
than Death
For Death takes all, but Love takes
fruit and bloom,
And leaves the worthless husk to rot in
gloom.
1t takes the crown from life the weary
breath
Must labor on until Death brings re-
lief.
And blots out all the WEAKNESS and
grief.
All ! Love is cruel merciful is Death.

Loving Words.

Loving words will cost but little,
Journeying up the hill of life
But they make the weak and weary
Stronger, Drawer for the strife,
Do you count them only trifies ?
What to earth are sun and rain ?
Never was kind word wasted,
Never was one said in vain.
When the cares of life are many,
And its burdens heavy grow.
For the ones who walk besides you,
If you love them tell them so.
What you count of little value,
Has an almost magic power,
And beneath their cheering sunshine
Hearts will blossom like a flower.
So, as up life's hill we journey,
Let us scatter all the way
Kindly words to be as sunshine
In the dark and cloudy day.
Grudge no loving word, my brother,
AS along through life you go,
To the ones who journey with you
If You love them tell them so.

SELECTIONS.
"a DARLING
BY ERNEST GILMORE.

Two gentlemen friends who had
been parted for years, met in a
crowded city thOroughtare. The one
who lived in the city was on his way
to meet business engagement.
After few expressions of delight,
he said:
swell, Pm off. Pm sorry, but it
can't be helped. l will look for you
tomorrow at dinner. Remember, 2
o'clock sharp. Pm anxions for you
to see my wife and child"
"Only one child 7" asked the 9th.
er.
"Only one," came the answer,
tenderly- "a daughter. She's a
darling, do assure yon."
And then they parted, the stran
ger in the city getting into a street
car bound for the park, whittier he
desired to 60.
After block or two, a group of
girls entered the car; they we're all
young, and evidently belonged to
families of wealth and culture that
is, intellectual culture-as they con-
versed well. Each carried very
deliberately decorated lunch basket /;
each was attired in very becoming
spring suit. Doubtless they, too,
were going to the Park for a spring
picnic. They seemed very happy
and amiable, until the car stopped,
this time letting in a pale-faced girl
of about eleven aud sickly boy of
four. These children were shabblly
dressed, and upon their faces there
were looks of distress mingled with
some expectancy. Were they, too,
on their way to the Park ? The gen.
tleman thought so; so did the group
Ofgirls, for he heard one ofthem say,
with q look of disdain:
81 suppose those ragmuffins are
on an excursion, too !"
~ shouldn't want to leave my
door if / had to look like that. Would
you 7" This from another girl.
No, indeed But there is no ac-
counting for tastes. l think there
ought to be a special line of cars for
the lower classes"
All this conversation went on in a
low tone; but the gentleman had
heard it. Had the child, too! He
glanced at the pale face and saw
tears glistening in the eyes. Then
he looked at the group of finely
dressed girls, who had moved as fal
from the pleblan as the limits of the
car would allow. He was angry
He longed to tell them they were
vain and heartless, as they drew
their costly trappings closer about
them, as if fearful of contact with
poverty's children.
just then an exclamation" Why
there is Nettie! Wonder where sht
is going !n-caused him to look OH
upon the corner where sweet-facet
/ young girl stood beckonlng to thu
car driver. When she entered thu
] car she was warmly greeted by th,
five, and they made room for he
beside them. They were proinse il

When Miss Lefingwell-Slote. who
had just graduated at Wellesley, was
told that there was probability Of
a short hay crop this year, she re-
marked that she supposed it wouldn't
be SO bad if the grass crop turned
out well. She presumed that horses
could eat grass in the winter as well
as in the summer, if they we're put
to it.

ANEIUuIES VI UEN. uHANI-
During the Fort Donelson cam.
paign Grants troops were Illinois
and Indiana men. Reports alleging
that Gen. Grant was addicted to the
use of liquor had been freely circu-
lated and deputation of Illinois
ians paid visit to Gen. Halleck at
st. Louis.
"You see, General" said the
spokesman, "we have number OF
Illinois volunteers under Grant, and
it is not safe that their lives should
be entrusted to the care of man who
constantly INDUCES in whiskey. Who
knows what blunder he may com.
nit 7"
"Well, gentlemen" said the com
mander of the department, ~ am
satisfied with Gen. Grant, and / have
no doubt you will be soon."
While the deputation were stay
ing at the hotel the news cameOf the
capture of Fort Donelson and $4,000
prisoners. Gen. Halleck posted the
intelligence himself on the bulletin
board, and remarked
off Gen. Grant is drunkard, and
can win such victories as these,
think it is my duty to issue an order
that any person found sober in St
Louis tonight shall be punished with
fine and imprisonment"
Several gentlemen were near the
President at the time he received the
news of Grants success, some Of
whom had been complaining OF the
rumors of his habit Of using intoxi
eating drinks to excess.

whiskey to excess 7" remarked the
President.
Yes" was the reply.

inquired Mr.. Lincoln. ais it Bour
ban or Monongahela ~
"Why doyou ask, Mr.. President p
"Because if it makes him win vic,
tories like this at Vicksburg, 1 will
send a demijohn of the same kind to
every general in the army"
GEN. GRANTS BAGGAGE.
In the Vicksburg campaign, Grant
set an example to his men by taking
neither horse or servant, overcoat OF
blanket, tent nor camp-chest. He
had not even a clean shirt his only
baggage was a toothbrush. He
shared all the hardships of a private
soldier, sleeping in the open air, and
eating hard tack and salt pork. He
wore no sword, had on low crown.
ed citizens hat, and the only thing
about him to mark him as military
man, was two stars on his coat. BE
entered Vicksburg with black.
Hooking cigar in his mouth. In the
early part of the war Gen. Grant
would move about with an old bat
tered stove-pipe, one that his subor-
dinates would perhaps not pick up
in the street. In his mouth he al
ways carried black-looking cigar,
and he seemed to be perpetually
smoking"
