Memory Pictures.

Tonight rs sit by my window,
In the silence Of quiet night.
While the moon rising up DER the mountain,
Bathes all with her silvery light,
No sound save the water murmuring
'Mong the piers OF the bridge below,
No stir save the whisper of pine trees.
Bright pictures come and 20.
one picture rises before me
OF a school-house dim and low.
And group of brighi-eyed children
Are hurrying to and fro
In their merry games; and their laughter
Floats free on the summer air;
But of them all the gayest
Is the girl with golden hair
BY her side in the play is another
'ris only back-eyed boy;
But often the loves OF our childhood
Remain through sorrow or joy.
The picture fades. There's another
OF the fair girl-tsller now.
With woman'S hopes and wishes
And flush stains the pure white brow.
For a figure stands beside her
As of old. but boy no more;
Eager 10 follow lfe's pathway.
To enter the open door.
'Tis a story old he is telling,
But she listens with beating heart;
And now he has won a promise
To endure while life shall last
linger long DER this vision.
For though it brings its pain,
Like faint perfume the memory
OF old days comes back again;
But II fades away in darkness.
And the next TO me that comes
l. the maiden alone with a letter,
That has told her cruel wrong.
The rest-it is useless to tell it.
Long years have passed u> by:
There's sailors grave on the hillside now
Beneath The starry sky.
And woman comes at evening.
With flowers the mound to strew;
Her love all the wrong ha, forgiven
And She lives only mercy to do.
With silver her hair j. sprinkled,
Her step is no longer light.
But her prayer is that sometime in Heaven
The wrong may be all made right.

The funeral was over and all that re-

the ripping water that daily sings his re-
QUEEN.

mother and chlld-thinking sadly OF the
past few days, and of what was in store

turbed from their reverie when the door
opened and the stranger entered. He
seated himself beside them and after a
long silence began Mrs. Thropp, have

surprise you; yet it is nevertheless true.

Two days later the family bade adieu to
their friends and neighbors. and, in COM

The Only american in a Community of
Thirty Thousand Russians.

sand inhabitants, and. strange to say.
but one American family among them.
says the Portland Oregonian Nearly
twenty years ago Richard Smith, a
young Bostonian, ran away from a
whaler which put into Vladivostock for
supplies. and remained among the Rus
slams, who owned the town.
BY hard work and careful manage
ment Smith succeeded in saving up a
few thousand dollars, and started back
to Boston, intending to settle down
there; but when he reached his old
home he found everything changed.
To use his own language. 1.-The peo-
pie had become too smart, and it re-
quired too much effort to keep up with
them and make money!" SO, investing
his money in "a stock of firearms, he
again set sail for his far-away home,
where he has since made fortune He
seems happy in his isolation, and saws
he Will never come back to the United
States again.
Vladivostock is the port from which
the Russian exiles are CONVEYED to the
islands near by. and, like other Siberian
cities. is almost under martial law all
the time.
