An Unforgotten Kiss.

The rain is rafting on the pane, the wind
is sweeping by.
Now with discordant shrek, anon with
melancholy cry.
A lonely man, sit and read beside the
dying fire
The daily tale of love and crime of greed
and vain desire
The letters blur and fade. the room
grows dim and disappears,
And in its stead old scenes come back
across the waste of years:
And set in frame of golden hair fair
young face I see,
Whose two soft eyes of deepest blue look
wistfully on me-
Once. on a memorable eve, when heart
and hope were young,
Those luminous eyes upon my life a sud-
den glory flung;
AS she was then l see her now, my
young, my only choice,
The brightness on her sunny brow, the
music in her voice.
One question, and but one ask, then for
ar answer wait;
Nv very heart is motionless, expectant
OF its fate,
A wondrous light-the light of love
CLOVIS in the tender eyes
Her breath is warm upon my face-O
sweetest of reDliesi
But bless my heartl The driving rain is
coming in, | fear
Or is that shining little drop upon the
page a tear?
Well. who would think an old gray head
could be so soft as this
When more than thirty years have fled
since that fond, foolish kiss

Look thro' mine eyes with thine. True
wife.
Round my true heart thine arms en-
Irvine:
My other dearer life in life.
UNTOUCHED with any shade of years,
They have not shed as many tears,
Dear eyes, since trsr,I knew them well
Yet tears they shed; they had their part
OF sorrow; for whenetine was rf1e,
The still affection of the heart
Became an outward breathing type,
That into stiffness past again,
And let want unknown before;
Although the loss that brought us pain,
That loss but made US love thee more.
With farther bookings on. The kiss,
The woven arms, seem but to be
Weak symbols of the settled bliss.
The comfort. / have found IN thee:
But that God bless thee, dear-who
wrought
Two spirits to one equal mind
With blessings beyond hope or thought
With blessings which no words can find,
Arise, and let us wander forth.
To yon old mill across the wolds;
For look, the sunset, south and north
Winds all the vale in rosy folds,
And fires your narrow easement glass,
Touching the sullen pool below:
On the chalk-hill the bearded grass
Is dry and dewlesS. Let us go.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

New York Press: It's funny, but you
never find so many things as you lose.
No man ever knows a woman till he
has seen her with her hair down.
When a man has a new pair of shoe
strings he feels as if he had on a new
pair of shoes.
A woman can never quarrel long with
a man who doesn't say anything and
looks hurt when she talks cross.
When a, girl lies down on a divan
with lot of cushions on it she loses
all her hairpins; when a man does he
loses all the change out of his pocket.
