Aaron and Aurt Kate, and there were Jacob
and Matthew, big boys of ten and twelve,
and there were Mary and Deborah, and lit
tie Sally and wee Tom.
1t was a large old house for those days
fifty years ago), having loft, or second
story, over the main room. This was win
dowless, but was considered a luxury for
all that 1t was reached by ladder, made
by Uncle Aaron. On one side of the house
was tuge fireplace, and a bed, resembling
a large packing box. was away of at the ex-
treme far corner. That belonged to Uncle
Aaron and Aunt Kate. The children all
slept upstairs on thick beds of clean hay,
covered over with pillows and warm quilts
1t was early in the morning one fine day
iE early spring, and Aunt Kate was busy
frying cakes for breakfast, the children
were laughing and scrambling overhead,
and Uncle Aaron was standing il the door
way looking out.
Over six feet high, brawny and broad,
strong and muscular, his keen, twinkling
gray eyes were half hid under his bnshy
eyebrows, and his short brown beard had a
CLINT of the sun in it. There was an air of
decision and strength about Uncle Aaron
that rather awed me at first sight, but a
short acquaintance soon revealed that his
strength was that OF the protecting oak
that the vines cling to.
s'Maryl Maryrn called out Aunt Kate up
the ladder, s'do make them ere children

here, you Jacob! Matthew, If yer don't stop

Father she said at last in despair, going
10 the doorway, ''do tend to them ere boys,
will yerl They're wusser N tadpoles."
With tolerant smile and an easy swing
round, with a stride or two Uncle Aaron
reached the top of the ladder. Without q
word he seized Matthew, the eldest boy, by
the neck, and dropped him down to the
room below; next he took Jacob and swung
him down after HIM; then he handed Mary

CARE OF THE EYES.
Use Your Peppers Carefully SO as to Mako
Them Last Many Years.

Use Your Peppers Carefully as to Make
Them Last Many Years.
Sit erect in your chair when reading,
and as erect when writing as possible.
If you bend downward you not only
gorge the eyes with blood, but the brain
as we'll, and both suffer. The same
rule should apply to the use Of the mi
croscope. Get one that will enable you
to look at things horizontally, not al
ways vertically.
Have a reading lamp for nigh. rse.
N. BIN regard to reading the light
should be on the book or paper and the
eyes in the shade. If you have no
reading lamp turn your back to tho
light, and you may read without danger
to the eyes.
Hold the book at your focus; If that
begins to get far away get spectacles.
Avoid reading by the Pickering light
of the fire.
Avoid straining the eyes by readingin
the cleaning.
Reading in bed is injurious as rule,
1t must be admitted, however, that in
cases Of sleeplessness, when the mind
Is inclined to ramble over thousand
thoughts minute reading steadies the
thoughts and conduces to sleep.
Do not read much in railway car
riage. 1 myself always do, however,
only in good light, and l invariably
carry a good reading lamp to hook on
behind me. Thousands of people would
travel by night rather than by day il
the companies could only see their way
to the exclusive use of their electric
light.
Authors should have black-ruled pa
per instead of blue, and should never
strain the eyes by reading too fine type.
The bedroom blinds should be red or
gray, and the head of the bed should ba
toward the window.
Those ladies who not only write but
sew should not attempt the black seam
by night.
When you come to an age that sug.
gests the wearing of spectacles let no
false modesty prevent you from getting
pair. If you have only one eye an
eye-glass will do; otherwise it is folly.
Go to the wisest and best optician you
know of and state your wants and your
case plainly, and be assured you will be
properly fitted.
Remember that bad spectacles are
most injurious to the eyes, and that
good and well-chosen ones are a decided
luxury.

necessary a long-distance pair for use

and worked on the quilts until about seven
o'clock. Then, just as the more indus
trious ones were beginning to weary with
work, and the idle ones were growing tired
from not working, and all were wishing fer

heard the sound of fiddle.

There spreadeth wide, wico meadow,
Sunny and green and still,
A brocklet ripples through it
Above it rises hill.
A hill that is dark with cedars,
And bright with sumach's glow;
And where an old road climbeth
Tail oaks and walnuts show.
Along the edge of the meadow
A wood its shadow throws,
And leaning branches quiver
Above that fields repose.
And there, when willows whiten
As the winds OF heaven blow free,
In the fairy days of childhood
There bloome flower for me.
1t lifted its face to heaven,
And when the sun shone high,
Its fringed lids it opened,
As blue as the autumn sky.
o, the wonder and the beauty
That in tina, blossom layl
Through long years remember
That fair October day.
The splendor OF gold and crimson
'Mong the cedars dark and stfil,
The sunshine warm on the meadow,
The purple haze on the hill.
And the gentian by the brookside
Through the tender light see,
With heavenly grace illumined-
The flower of faith to me.
And feel the tuneful breathings
Each wandering breeze let fall
In the mystery all around US.
And the love that is over all.
But now an autumn cometh,
With its frosts and its glory crown,
But NY spirit seeketh the meadow
Far from the dusty town.
And where the brooklet floweth,
From every care beguled,
Hook into those azure petals
With the eyes Of a little child.
Ol blessed are the memories
That naught can take away
The memories sweet and tender.
OF childhood's happy DAY!
And blessed are the promises
That in later yeas we read
As they lie along onr pathway
In the blossom and the seed.
So love that wide, wide meadow,
Where the winds of heaven blow free,
For there, in the hillside shadow,
The faith-fiower bloomed for me.

day night at s o'clock, when the
first Evensong for Easter vas sung
by a full choir, a large congregation
attending.
On Easter morning at dawn
there wss q celebration, hut the
great service of the day was at IL
am, when vast congregation filled
the church in every part. The SER
vice was a choral celebration and
sermon. The large surpliced choir
marched with cross and banner
around the church singing the Eas
ter Alleluias. Then the celebration
proceeded, the following ladies and
gentlemen aug menting the pre-ent
choir of the church: Miss Cynthia
Carter and Miss Carrie Smith, So

Ed. Jones, tenor; Messrs. Wales
and Brown, bass. To say that the
music was good but poorly express
es the perfectly rendered service
indeed several pronounced it the
most beautiful Easter service that
they had ever heard. Thomas
Grand TIE Deum, Woodward's Ag-
nus Del, Chapelrs Easter Anthem,
the Gloria in Exeelsis were all sang
taultlessly. The sermon was
preached by the Rector from the
words, "He is risen.''
At night full Choral Evensong
solemn TIE Deum and sermon took
place, the two choirs again leading
the singing; seldom, indeed, has q
service been more brightly rendered
The solemn TIE Deum was fitting
close 10 the solemn acts Of worship
which characterized the services in
this church during the Easter oi
1889. The church again was filled
by an immense congregation.
Too much praise cannot be ac-
corded to Mrs. Frank Carter, who
through the whole of Lent, bent hcl
energies to perfect the singing OF
