THE GOLDEN WEDDING.

The day but not the bride is come,
AS in her blossom-time;
But golden lights sustain the home,
She cherished in her prime.
May we not call upon the band2
May we not ask the priest?
Our golden wedding is at hand,
And we shall hold feast.
But where is he in snowwhite stole,
Who the old service read
That made us one in heart and soul?
Long, long has he been dead.
The bridesmaids clad in silken fold
Who waited on the bride,
Where are they nowy Their tale is told
Long, long ago they died.
Where is the groomsman, chosen friend
The true, the well-beloved?
His term alas! is at an end;
Too soon was he removed.
Where is the bride. ah such a bride
As every Joy foretells!
/ see her walking by my side,
j hear the wedding bells.
Where is she now? That we should say
She did not live to know
Flow passed her silver weddng-day,
SO many years ago.
But come, and for your mothers sake,
Though vain 1t were to weep,
Let us the silent feast partake,
Her golden wedding keep.

WONDERFUL DESKS.


Telephone Inventions.
Work is now being done which will
soon make it possible for merchants in
this city to set a cosy little desk in their
counting-rooms and talk without rising
with people in New York, Boston and
Philadelphia as well as with every sub
scriber of the Southern New England
Telephone Company. A copper cir
cult has already been completed be-
tween New York and Boston, and the
wires are fast approaching Philadel-
phia. Instead of the ordinary tele-
phone at the wall the subscriber can be
furnished with beautiful rosewood
desk about the size of ladies' writing
desk, with plenty of room to write
upon, and with several drawers for
papers. The desk conceals the
big magnet which operates the
bell and also the other mechanism
of powerful telephone, except
two silver warning bells and the trans
mitter. The transmitter with silver
mouth-piece about the size of a silver
dollar is held by Il metallic arm which
is so arranged that it can be moved to
raise or lower the mouth-pIece several
feet. BY an automatic device the trans
mitter is also kept in the same relative
position to the mouth at whatever posi-
ton it is set. The only other thing
which shows that the desk is not a gen
tleman's ordinary Office furniture is a
little movable bar with four metallic
switches. BY this device the subscriber
puts himself out of the city circuit and
switches himself onto the main line for
New York or Boston, which he rings up
and calls New York or Boston sub
scribor with less trouble than is caused
to call subscriber in the same city.
The copper circuit is perfect and free
from induction. A reporter recently
talked from the executive Office of the
Southern New England Telephone
Company to New York over it. AL
though the wire passes through length
wise the whole noisy city of New York
a whispered conversation there was
more easily heard than the ordinary
city telephoning. -NeU HaueR ReqiSteT

ance of midnight mass at the approach

jealous and orthodox class,

another element who profess to care
