AS we never knew before,
When the morn of life is breaking ~
And the shadows flee away.
BY-and-by we'll cross the river,
Enter in the golden gates,
Hear the strains Of angel music
Softly falling en- the ear.
When the misty veil that hides us
From our dear ones gone before
Shall be drawn aside forever
We shall meet them face to face.
By-and by our cares and sorrows
From the heart shall roll away,
And our souls shall rise triumphant
When the veil is rent in twain.
When grim death shall cross cur threshold
And our dear ones pass away,
While our hearts are torn with anguish
At the thought that we must part,
Heavenly voices whisper softly,
""Fwill be better by and'by"

Monsieur and madame were very much
touched at this mark of affection and fidel-
ity from Aunt Peggy. So, in the general
reconstruction of the plantation which i'm.
mediately followed the surrender, nice
cabin, pleasantly appointed, was set apart
for the old woman. Madame did not even
forget the very comfortable rocking chain
in which Aunt Peggy might "set down."

She has been rocking ever since.
At intervals of about two years Aunt
Peggy hobbies up to the house, and deliv.
ers the stereotyped address which has be-
come more than familiar:
Mistress rs come to take a las look at
you all. Lee me look at you good. Lee

After such visit Aunt Peggy invaria-
bly, returns to her cabin with generously
filed apron.
The scruple which monsieur one time
felt in supporting woman for so many
years in idleness has entirely disappeared.
OF late his attitude toward Aunt Peggy is
simply one of profound astonishment-
wonder at the surprising age which the
old black woman may attain when she sets
her mind to it, for Aunt Peggy is lbs. so
she says.-Harper' Young People.

his writings, and / told him how his stories
had been the dearest books of my child
hood and seemed associated with all that
was delightful in the memory of it. told
him how happy and fiattered had felt at
finding the name of the little boy in ''Ole
Shut-Eye" the same as my own, and that
half unconsciously / had appropriated his
experiences and half believed them to be
my own.
This little confession seemed to touch
Andersen strangely. Tears filled his eyes.
He seized both my hands and pressed them
warmly.
"Now you understand" he said, what
happy lot it is to be the children's poet"
/ rose to take my leave, but fingered
talking, and on my expressing desire to
hear him read he half rose upon his sofa,
adjusted his pillows and began to recite
from memory 1.-THE Ugly Duckling."
His manner was easy and conversational,
full of caressing infections, such as one
employs in telling tale to child. In the
pathetic passages he was visibly affected,
and he closed almost solemnly.

A Squirrel Story.

"Ive got true squirrel story to tell
YOU" said member of the club the
other evening. "a friend of mine hav-
ing cottage on the shore of Oneida
lake left cornstarch box or package in
the pantry. There was a little corn
starch remaining in it, and to secure it
against mice the box was placed inside
of tall pitcher having very smooth
surface. My friend was at the cottage
again few days after, and bethought
himself of the cornstarch. Upon ex-
amining to see if the mice had got at it
the box was found standing on end in
the pitcher as left, but it was filled to
the brim with sweet acorn meats, all
shelled and as nicely laid in as any per-
son could have done it. a... SO a.
"And not one was to be found in the
pitcher outside of the box. Those squir-
rels must have expended good deal of
labor and worked faithfully to have &C
complished the job in so short time.
Of course the acorns were not disturbed,
but left for the squirrels winter sub
