thinking of the chance of ghostly
visitation, for it was getting near to
midnight-the hour when ghosts al
ways appear. Just then my clock
struck IL, and at that instant q ghost
entered the room from some unknown
direction"
Dreadful! And what did you do2"
20, I said to the ghost: Excuse me,
but my clock is quarter of an hour
fast! I beg your pardon said the
ghost, and bowling politely it disap-
peared. Rlaetter.

LOVE SIGN OF THE ROSE.

She trained little rose to grow
And grace the gate above;"
And hence. / love the pathway so
That leads me to her love.
And oft my heart before me goes
To read the love sign of the rose.
Though fairer bloom for lovers trysS,
To me It seems as fair
AS If an angels lips had kissed
And blessed 1t. blooming there.
For Heaven its sweetest smile bestowe
On the dear love sign of the rose.
The pattering of little feet,
When shadows blur the sight,
And rosy-twining arms that meet
And necklace me at night.
These my glad heart enraptured knows
At the dear love sign OF the rose.
Not far away Loves steps shall stray
In thorny paths to roam,
While o'er the meadows of life's May
Shine signals sweet OF home.
When night falls drear. one heart still
knows
Rest at the love sign of the rose.
