Forgotten be the fostering cares
OF the long day, since morning light:
The hour Of winged thoughts and prayers
Is come with noiselessness and night.
All day we grovel: the low ground S
Is high as our desires; our eye
Doth never upward, glance; no sound
Wakes our DUP ear to ecstacy. 4
Care hovers hawk-like overhead,
And peace, the white dove, will not stay
And joys red roses all are dead,
And long and dreary ID the day. : rs.
BUT meath the dusky, hrooding wing
OF nights our hearts grow still and sweet,
Like one who hears his mother sing,
And creeps dnbtdden to her feet. 3.
We hear the heavenly harmonies.
The fret and worry drop away;
And holy benisons of peace
Fill our hushed hearts at close Of day.

Reminded of the Aud Sod.

A Cleveland landlord has one of his houses
tenanted by family that is out of all pro-
portion to the size of the dwelling. In fact,
he strongly suspects that there are at least
two distinct families in the house, and he is
quite anxious to get rid of them. He doesn't
want to turn them out, and he has been
hoping they would take frequent hints he
gives them and seek some other location
Lately they have complained of a leaky
root, but the landlord has determined to
make no repairs until they leave.
A few days ago the head Of the household
waited on him.
',Well, sor," he said, "that roof has been
leakin' agin."
