KNITTING.
ny ELLEN Il. ALLERToN

An old time kitchen, an open door,
Sunshine lying across the floor,
A little maid, feet bare and brown,
Cheeks like roses a cotton gown
Ripping masses of shining hair,
And childish forehead, smooth and inir,
The child is knitting The open door
Woos her, tempts her more an | m IRE,
The sky is cloudless, the air is sweet,
And sadly restless the bare brown feet
Still, as she wishes her task were done,
She counts the rounds Off, one by one
Higher yet mounts the sun of June;
But one round more--a childish tune
Ripples out from the childish lips,
While swift and switter the tinger-tips
Play out and in, till | hear her say
"Twenty rounds I'm going to play !"
Up to the hedge where the sweet brier blows,
Down to the bank where the broolIlet flows,
Chasing the butterflies, watching the bees,
Wading in clover up TO her knees,
Mocking the bobolinSs; oh, what fun
1t is to be free when the task is done /.
Years and years have glided away.
The child is u woman, and threads Of gray
One by one crept Into her hair,
And | see the prints of the feet OF care
L
BY her household fire, and rs then she knits
Swiftly the needles glance, and the thread
Glides through her fingers, white and red /,
IT'S babY's stocking, To and fro
And in and out the needles go
She sings as she sang that day lnsl une,
But the low, soft strain is a nursery tune.
Close beside her the baby lies,
Slowly closing his sleepy eyes
Forward, back ward, the cradle swings,
Touched by her foot as she softly sings.
And now in silence her watch she keeps (;
The song is hushed, for the blby sleeps
Up from the green through the twilight gray
Come the shouts OF n troop at play.
Blue eyes, black eyes, golden curls-
These are all hers-her boys and girls
Then wonder not at the prints OF care,
Or the silver threads in her braided hair
Does she ever pine for the meadow brook,
The sweet brier hedge, the clover nook2
When sweet winds woo, when smiles the sun
Does she ever wish that her task was done !?
Would you know Then watch here where
she sits.
Smiling dreamily, while she knits

he served for several days and nights
1t wasn't his fault, and should, he thinks,
detract nothing from his modcum of
merit, that it was the finest Of July

doors than in, or that the enemy had
the discretion not to come in his way
At any rate, he has never demanded

Elder Bibles Letter.

From the Methodist Herald.
We have just concluded the first camp
meeting held IN the county of Emmons
and. besides administered the first bap-
tism and the first communion service for
the Methodist Episcopal Church. The
camp.meeting was held at Winchester in
grove Of box.elders on Beaver Creek.
It began on June 19 and closed on the
25th. The attendance was greatly dimin-
ished by the rain, which came every day
but one OF its continuance and BY the
cold, which made fire very pleasant and
the neighborhood of the cook stoves on
the ground places Of very popular resort.
AS consequence there was small at
tendance all through--about 80 to so at
the various meetings of the week and
from $50 to 225 on the Sabbath. A deep
interest was manifested all the time and
the best of order prevailed. The results,
as far as they may be measured by the
outward manifestations, are highly salts
factory. Ten united with the church on
probation, eighteen by letter; four adults
and two infants were baptized about
thirty communed, several for the first
time; besides others, who gave evidence
of conversion. who will probably unite
at an early date with our church or some
other. The circuit of Winchester was or
ganized, board of stewards elected, two
exhorters licensed, and one local preacher.
Such interest prevailed at tho close of
the meeting that it was deemed desirable
to continue the meetings at school
house in the vicinity, and series Of
meetings will probably be held at each of
the preaching-places on the circuit. The
idea Of this camp-meeting originated in
the fertile brain of Rev. A. ]. Garry, the
preacher in charge of this county and of
the adjacent county of Mcintosh. To
him is largely due the working out of this
idea, the enthusiasm which surmounted
all obstacles and made 1t such a success,
the spiritual results which were SO largely
arranged for beforehand, and the man.
