TO MY WATCH.

Little watch, fast ticking out
All the hours of pain and doubt.
All the tumult. toll ap9 5srIfe
MakiSS sp our er2n OF life;
All the heart-wrung signs and tears
Falling faster with the years,
AS the petals drop and fade
From the bloom life's summer made.
All. what thoughts each other chase
AS look 1pon your face.
Every tick your motions giyA
One tick less have to live.
Did realize this thought,
With such solemn meaning fraught,
When some newborn Joy drew nigh
In the happy days gone by,
And your slight hands all too slow
Round about your face did go:
All those tardy hours have passed.
Would they were not now so fastI
Never stopping In your flight,
Never pausiug day nor night:
Not moments rest you crave
From the cradle to the grave.
With never ceasing motion,
SteadfaSt as the tides of ocean;
Seeming evermore to hurry,
Yet without moments durryl
Till our worn hearts almost pray
That you would q moment stay
All things rest-the clouds AZ noon,
And the leaves in nights of June;
And the grief brain
When sleep falls like softest rain;
And the stars when day awakeS,
And the day when Hesper shakes
Cleans OF gold from out the skies
Into wandering lovers eyes.
You alone speed on your way,
Never resting night nor day.
Yet what joys those hands have brought.
Golden days with rapture fraught;
Golden days of sunlit fountain;
Golden days on breezy mountain;
Days made more divine by love
Than by radiance from above.
All those hands that 10 the sense
Bring such joys and bear them hence,
Could we know what time conceals
Meath those little ticking wheels
Yet when those slight hands shall mark
That last hour when 81! grows dark,
And shall still keep ticking on
When earth's light from me is gone,
Little watch, your face shall be
Still ii memory sweet TO me,
Though diviner light may shine
On these opened eyes Of mine.
For your hands that never cease
Bring at last the perfect peace.

Traditions and folklore among the
people Of mountainous Kentucky are
evanescent and vary widely in different
localities. 1t appears that the people
are sprung in part from the early hunt
ers who came into the mountains when
game was abundant, sport unfailing and
living cheap. Among them now are
still hunters, who know the haunts Of
bear and deer, needing no dogs. Even
yet they prefer wild meat-even ''pos-
