TIRED OUT.

- Just tired out" the neighbor said.
Turning from the squalii bed,
Where the weary woman lay,
Painting LIES last hours away.
Save that sound OF sObbing breath.
All was still as coming death;
For the frightened children covered
Where, with heavy brOws that lowered,
Meath the lORg-euduring strain
The mute husband bore his pain.
Just tired GUITAR down below
Waves were fretting on the flow.
And the full, recurrent roar
Echoed upward from the shore;
Fainter grew the pulses beat
AS the worn hands plucked the sheet
And the death danps gathered, where
Ruled all the tangled hair.
Said the watcher al her side.
9 She is waiting FOR the tide
When the waves had ebbed anew,
The tired life was over, too;
Gone from want, and care, and IN,
Very peacefully and still,
After all she bore and wept.
Hard-wOrked wife and mother slept;
Very fair she looked, and meek,
Long DARK Iashes swept her cheek,
Worn hands crossed upon her breast,
For the weary was az rest
an The Year hound.

A series Of DRAINS.

Twenty years ago,a bachelor in Oak
land, says the Tribune of that city.
dreamed of visiting a family consisting
of parents and two little girls, who
were unknown to him in his waking
hours.
From that time forth he continued
to dream of them for score of yeSrs.
He saw the children grow from CHILD
hood to womanhood. He was present
at the closing exercises when they
graduated. In fact, he shared all the
pleasures and griefs of this family.
His friendship TO his dreamland
friends seemed so real that he often
remarked that he felt certain he would
know them in reality at some future
time.
Two months ago he saw in a dream
the husband die. and from that time he
ceased to dream of them for the first
time in a period of twenty years.
About six weeks ago he was astonished
at receiving a letter from New York
city, the writer being the widow of a
cousin of his, with whom he had never
had any intercourse since his boyhood,
over thirty years. The widow wrote
that she wished to make San Francisco
her future home. After exchanging a
few letters it was arranged for him to
meet her and the two daughters at the
Oakland wharf upon the arrival of an
Eastern train on a certain day. On
their arrival imagine his surprise TO
see his dream friends. They were
equally so when he related his strange
series of dreams in win ch they figured.
He told them incidents connected with
their past lives which he could not have
known under ordinary circumstances.
He described their former home, even
TO the furniture and household orna-
ments, which was correct in every par
ticular. The sequel is that he recently
married the widow, and is living happily
in this CITY.
