Last Night

Last night my dream-clad feet did tread On we'll remembered paths; and did see The self-same scenes-the same stars shed Their dreamy light on you and me; The little stream coursed on its silent way, Our little boat.rocked idly at our feet, And side by side we watched the shadows play, And list to strange, weird music, wildly sweet,
 Last night. Last night VIC drifted down the self-same And looked down into those midnight And read in their clear depths my lifelong dream; They were to me my heaven and my para disc You sang, and OCT the echoes died away My heart beat wildly with a throbbing pain, My eyes were weeping, for could not stay The tears that came for the hopes long
 Last night! Last night e'er the evening shadows fell We met, we parted, twas the last o1 earth, heard, as of yore. the village church bell, As it rang on that eve of the Saviours birth, .:.--r How little we dreamed as he turned to go, The different paths we were doomed to tread! Then my heart grew sick and my head bent low
 Oh, many the sorrow that lips never knowl And lsprinkled with tears hope long dead
 Last night. Last night my dreaming fancy led me whers In days forgotten we would often stray, And bid mo dwell for one brief moment there,
 And sip the fragrance of the new-mown hay And faces that the sod hath covered OCT And plotted from our sight, came back to me, .- And phantom figures pressed the tufted
 floor
 Where we two fingered in our infancy
 Last night

A Useful Life.

A farmer in South Carolina is said to have followed the blow for sixty-eight years. There is something to admire in the humble but useful life of such man. He never waited for anything to turn up, but went faithfully and uncomplain- ingly to work and turned it up himself, and continued to turn it up. -[Chieago Tribune.
