Joseph and the daughter was called Mary,
the sweetest name that woman ever bore.
These buds of promise were joyfully vel
coined; but their parents realized that
perhaps their stay would be short with
them. They were lovely children, and as
time passed their parents feared that in
the gift they might forget the Giver.
They were children that parents would
delight in. Infant innocence and JOY
lightened their happy faces. They twined
around their parents hearts but seemed too
good ion earth. Suddenly disease broke
out among the Children and in one short
week little Joseph and Mary left papa
and mamma and went up among the
angels. The parents hearts were wrung
with anguish; but they tried hard to say
THY will not mine be done" They
realized that their little ones were safe in
heaven.
Since the death of their children they
have been with the sick and Borrowing
more than usual Their aim seems to be
to do all the good they can while they
remain here. j. c. NJ.

In BRIEF. 1t is now almost certain
that the print cloth mills in Fall River
will work only alternate weeks during
July and August. 1t is said that the
Lowell and Lawrence men will Join the
movement and the impression is that the
shut down will be general. :. The gradua-
ton exercises of Dartmouth, Williams,
Harvard and Yale, occurred j une "a In
Harvard 1876 received the degree of bache-
Tor of arts in course. The London st.
James Gazette, in an article commenting
upon the result of the elections held in
Canada June 23d, says that Hon. Wilfred
Laurier will now be able to show whether
or not he is statesman. The rock upon
which the conservatives came to grief the
Gazette says, was State rights. The real
moral of the result is that even if Canada
has home rule the system does not work
smoothly. Fifty wheat counties in Mime
sofa and the Dakotas report no reduction
in the spring wheat acreage from year
ago, and all but three counties report the
wheat in good condition. The total acre
age is estimated at nine millions, which is
900, 600 more than the government esti-

After the Ball.

lBest-hnown Poem of the Late NoraPerry.
They sat and comhed their beautiful hair,
Their long bright tresses one hy one
AS they laughed and talked in tie rhambar
there.
After the revel was done,
Idly they talked Of waltz and ouadrille,
Idly they laughed, like other girls
Who over the fire when all is still.
Comb out their braids and curls
Robe of satin and Brussels lace
Knots Of flowers and ribbons, too.
Scattered about in every place.
For the revel is through.
And Maud and Madge in robes of white
The prettiest nightgowns under the sun.
Stoehlngless. slpperless, sit in the night.
For the revel is done.
Sit and comb their beautiful hair.
Those wonderful waves Of brown and
gold,
I'LL the fire is out in the chamber there.
And the little bare feet are cold
There out of the gathering winter chill.
All out of the bitter St. Agnes weather.
nile the tire IS out aud the house is still.
Maud and Madge together.
Maud and Madge in robes of white.
Inc prettlest nightgowns under the sun,
Curtained away from the chilly night,
After the revel was done,
ioat along III a spendld dream,
10 golden gittern's tinkling tune,
Whl.e thousand busters shimmering
stream
In palaces grand saloon;
Flashing of jewels and tlutter Of laces.
Tropical odors sweeter than musk
Men and women With beautiful faces
And eyes of tropical dusk:
And one face shining ont like star.
One face haunting tile face Of each
ANA one voice, SW eeter than others are
Breaking into slvery speech
Telling, through lips Of bearded bloom
An old, old story over again.
As down the royaI-h 4nnered room
To the golden glitterns strain.
Wo and tive they dreamly walk.
W ME an unseen spirit walks beside,
And all unheard II the lovers talk,
He elalmeth one for bride.
Q, Maud and Madge, dream on together,
With never pang Of Jealous fear,
For ere the bitter ST. A gnes weather
Shall Written another year,
ROBBED for the bridal, ana ROBBED for Tie
tomb,
Braided brown hair and golden tress.
There be only one Of you left for tile
bloom
OF the bearded lips to press
Only one for the bridal pearls,
The robe of satin and Brussels lace
/ Only one to blush through her cars
At the sight of lovers face.

The Sleeping of the Wind.

The Sleeping of the Wind.
The great red moon was swinging
Allow i'll the purple east;
The robin had ceased from singing:
The noise of the day had ceased
The golden sunset islands
Had faded into the sky,
And warm from the sea of silence
A wind of sleep came by.
1t came 80 balmy and resting
That the treetop breathed a kiss
And a drowsy wood bird, nesting,
Chirped a wee note of bliss:
1t stole over fragrant thickets
AS soft as an owl could fly,
And whispered to tiny crickets
The words of a lullaby
Then slowly the purple darkened
The whispering trees We're still,
And the hush of the woodland hardened
TO crying whip-poor-will
And the moon grew whittier, and by it
The shadows lay dark and deep;
But the fields were empty and quiet,
For the wind had fallen asleep

POLITICAL POINTS. A large and en-
thusiastic Mckinley and Hobart ratifica-
ton meeting was held at Carnegie hall,
New York, June 25th under the auspices
of the Republican clubs. Hon. c. A.
Boutelle of Maine spoke. He said: ''The
Republican party is going to win. There
has been great deal of talk about gold
and silver, and it is a most important
question this year, it is going to be set
tied, and if settled right, it must be set
tied by the stand taken by the Republican
party. The Republican party is to put
bread in the mouths of the people, to
open the factory doors and to put looms
in notion Gen. Horace Porter and
Mayor Strong also spoke. There is a
possibility that the candidates of both
prominent parties will be citizens Of Ohio
John R. Mclean of Cine innati is looming
up as Democratic can didate. Indiana
Democrats pronounce for free silver, of
course. They are consistent in that. For
time almost out of mind Indiana has been
the hotbed of unsound financial IDEAS.
Texas Democrats have split ON the silver
question and held two State conventions.
Well, Texas is big enough to split into
half dozen conventions, but it is bad for
the party...... The Baltimore News has
followed the example Of the Phil adelpha
Times in declaring it's readiness to bolt
the Democratic ticket, if free silver
triumphs at Chicago, and to support Mr..
Mckinley. ....J. H. Manley of Maine has
written letter d eclining to be secretary
to the Republican national executive com
mittee on the ground that the position
ought to be held by some one more close
ly connected with Major Mckinley. Col.
Osborne of Boston will probably be Sc
lected for the place...... Eugene V. Debs,
the labor agitator, addressed a large au-
dience in Portland June Goth. He
spoke on all tie leading issues of the day
and frequent bursts of applause inter
rupted his remarks.
