THE DEATH OF THE LEAVES.

Right royalty robed In scarlet and gold,
Battalions OF leaves to my vision unfold;
How they whirll How they fly obeying tho
call
OF their mother the earth, on whose bosom
they fall
Yet myriads are clad in colors severe,
-Mayhap in lament OF the death that draws
near
For as shelter and shield from the midsum-
mer's sun,
Their mission is ended--their lfe-work Is done.
But why do 1 say that their life-worlS is done"
When, truthfully pondered, It's only begun?
Their use is but changed from the tree to the
ground,
And weighty the service which now they have
found.
Uniting their fibers so flmy and fine
From oak and from maple, from tendril and
vine,
Rich tapestries fling they DER forest and glen,
Outlying portrayal by pencil or pen.
What exquisite carpet for greenwooded aisies !
How dextrously spread amid rocky defilesl
While the surplus is woven by birds into nests,
AS offerings votive, the leaves last bequestsl
oh, wonderful leaflets that simmer and shine,
Whose standings of green are now ruby as wine,
Or yellow as gold, or brown, russell sere-
The lessons We teach me are pricelessly dear.
The study, though complex, SO rich is in
thought
With wisdom OF ages it seemeth inwrought,
How well IL our 'life-work," when death draw
eth near
Like the leaves, shall in vistas extended ap
pear.

Now q word as to what the fisherman or

many shells during the long lonesome

emery cloth from coarse to fine grades,
aud lastly emery -four, then comes the tin-
al touch, the polishing, which is q secret
to the trade. ANY one can polish, but get
ting the shell to take on that beautiful
gloss, which is known only to the trade, Is
quite another thing. Ali up and down
this coast there are dealers in shells and
curios, but doubt il another establishment
of such traffic can be found among them

Shells are not always perfect Many
are wormy in spots, yet very beautiful.
These are sawed up and made into jew

all unsound portions. A sound shell with
beautiful pearl-like tints, properly ground

shells with bits of other materials added

For the Ellsworth American.
Death.

Those dear, white hands, now folded in deer
Among the flowers, pale and, oh, so still,
They hold my heart in loves most precioui
grasp.
But must bow before His wiser will.
Dear hands--no more that soothing gentle
touch
Shall fall upon my lonely burning brow;
That precious voice is hushed in solemn death
1t cannot charm my weary hours now.
The darkeDed parlor speaks in language mute
OF her who lies asleep in casket white;
The flowers she gstbered-withered now and
dead,
Her book half read God pity me tonight.
The ivory keys have silent been all day,
The keys no other hand than hers has
pressed;
Their music sweet must ever hushed remain,
Her hands are quiet in eternal rest.
No merry song rings through the still, dark
halls,
No laugh is echoed from the garden gay,
wait in vain for girsh footsteps light,
They come no more-my child has gone away.
Her little room is empty and alone,
Her ribbons folded neat away with care.
Her dresses-oh she does not need them now
Her childish toys and books are lying there.
| miss O, Heaven, how much:-those willing
feet.
Whose steps were music TO my listening ear.
The loving words which cheered my heart
alwsy,
The girlish ways and looks to me so dear.
oh. God, In thy far reaching mercy bear
And z rant me respite from this lesden pain;
Send faith and hope TO light my weary way,
And tell me may meet my child again.
o write the promise full upon my heart.
OF life eternal in the world above.
Where. when my task is finished here on
earth,
That may dwell with her in endless love.
