SWEETEST OF MEMoRY's BELLS.

Wild is the way through the woodland;
but there are the sweet fields Of
clover,
The signing, sad pines. and the jessamine
vines, and the rill that leaps laugh
ingly over.
The lilies that rim 1.-THE shadows that
dim it--and there, winding winsome-
ly sweet,
Is the path that still leads to the old
home through riyery ripples Of
wheat!
And bark! it's the song Of the reapers,
and l know by its jubilant ringing
There is gold in the CLEAN of the harvest
and love in the hearts that are
singing!
And still as of old to the ether its music
mellifuous swells,
And the wind that sighs westward is
swaying the sweetest of Memory's S
bells.
Let me pass through the wheat and the
clover. 0 men and rose.maidens,
who reap!
l, who come from the sound of the cities.
like q child to its mother would
creep;
For through long years of tears and Of
toiling, like harbor-bells over the
foam
Your voices far winging and ringing
were singing me-snging me home!
And here, from the pain and the pleas
ure-from the sorrow and singing,
| flee
AS the birds when the storm winds are
blowing, as the ships seek the haven
from sea;
And fancy the violets know me in gar
dens of beauty and bliss;
And do not the red roses owe me the
peace of the prodigals kiss?
The sun is still bright at the portals;
there the loye-light all radiant
shines;
Heart Heart. there's q face we re-
member in the tangle and bloom OF
the vines! >
Ear off the glad reapers are singing-far
off in the rivery wheat,
And the arms of mother are clinging
and the kiss of mother is sweet.

the housekeeper to give the garment to

A Hazardous Occupation.

Since balloon ascensions began there
haye never been so many aeronauts in
iured as during the year 1896. Four
teen of them have either been killed or
badly injured by accidents. Two OF
these unfortunates were women and
both were killed. Professional balloon
men ascribe the accidents to ignorance
end carelessness. Only three Of the
fourteen aeronauts referred to were
of long experience. 1t has happened
that this season there has been great
demand for aeronauts from circuses
and fair associations.
