pretty young wife OF one are the principals.
Three wears ago Deacon smalley took unto h,m
self dasaug young wife hey lived happily
together until last year. Then Deacon sma Icy
was taken sick aud Dertoa Jonathan Buck na'ur-
ally visited him. There IS no dispute as to these
fscis. After awhile Deacon Smalley began TO sus-

was more of a sl lighter house for his character
than place ia which legitimate business was
transacted Instantly tho church was in an up
roar, and from several quarters angry shouts oil
You lie!" were heard. Deacon BucE announceo
his intention Of making tho scandal mongers smart

POET,R Y.
FoUR-LEAVED CLOVER.

Above our heads the sky was blue,
With green fields round us;
Within a world made just for two,
One fair day found us.
She was maiden fresh and young;
was her lover.
We searched. where matted grasses clung,
For four-leayed clover.
We-left behind the smothered path,
And took, unheeding,
The scent that layed US as a bath
From blossoms bleeding;
A clumsy bee, with sullen boom
Sweet-rifling rover
Swung by, nor showed the rarer bloom
or four-leaYed clover.
Sometimes our tangled hands would touch
Sometimes our faces
Drew close together when, in such
Enchanted places
Where common clusters hid the ground,
She knelt and wove her
White fingers deity through, but found
No four-leayed clover.
BY grass-rimmed isles of apple trees,
Der swell and hollow,
So went the ways of birds and bees
We chose to follow.
A yellow sun threw from the west
Long shadows over
Ere we abandoned quite the quest
For four-leaved clover.
And so our time that golden day
Some cynic prosy
May say was wholly thrown away.
All, little knows he.
Though we one trophy of the spring
Failed to discover
We found a sWceter rarer thing
Than four-leayed clover.
