"The cold has given you a rosy pair

Noticing that she bowed to some one,
he turned and lifted his cap to Mrs.
Geroldson and her son. After a pause,
he continued:
"Are those roses entirely due to the

Elsie smiled and answered.:
"Yes, OF course they are. What

"See how he arches his neck, as IL

Elsie laughed at the fancy. They

full to note the genial, approving
glances and smiles that were showered
upon Elsie Fletcher; the coolest face
softened at the sight of so much beauty

A Deserted House.
Sad to sight and sad to me mory
Stands the old deserted home,

Sad to sight and sad to memory
Stands the old deserted home,
Where no more in joy or sadness
Shall an erstwhile dweller come.
Gloomy rooms with undraped windows,
Save where spiders, silver a
Cross the panes Of dusty sashes,
Leaving labyrinthine trace.
Letting, g%rudgingly, the sunbeams
Through to dance and shrink away,
As the phantom shadows chase them
AT the dawn, and end of day.
And across the moss-grown door-stone
Come no more the welcome guests,
Snails alone cross in, or over,
Following their slow-paced quests.
The old loor on rusty hinges
Sends a mutfle ed. angry sigh,
Forth to chill who e'er wonld enter
And the timid hurry by.
Sunken beds of old-time flowers
Nourish but the careless seeds,
Sown by winds of spring or autumn,
From the rank, luxuriaut weeds.
All the fields around lie fallow.
And the orchards tangled gloom,
Holds amid its unpruned branches
Little of tie bud or bloom.
Even birds love o the silence,
For the old homes charm has fled,
And its history is ended;
All who loved it once are dead.
