Youth and Love.
Joseph p. Galton. in the Philadelphia Times.

Joseph p. Galton, in the Philadelphia Times.
Youth and Love fell out one day,
Said Youth to Love: ''Iu 20 my way
And leave you broken-hearted
III go through life without your aid:
III neither gaze ON man or maid-''
And foolishly they parted.
on went naughty Youth alone;
He hummed a tune In merry tone
And never looked behind him;
While Love, at home, was sad and sore.
And longed for merry Youth once more
Alas! she could not find him.
But Youth had not been walking long
Before he hushed his merry song
His heart was full OF sorrow.
He found 1t hard to stay away
From Love, II only for day
He came back on the morrow
For Love and Youth apart would die
Like flowers without dew or sky
They'd fade II they would seyeri
Al long as there Ia tide and time
In every land, in every cline,
Youth and Love will be togetAeR.

The Lost Chord.

Seated one day at the organ.
was weary and Ill at ease,
And my fingers wandered idly
Over the noisy keys;
know not what / was playing
Or what l was dreaming then,
But struck one chord of music
Like the sound Of great Amen.
1t flooded the crimson twilight
Like the lose of an angels psalm.
And 1t lay on my fevered spirit
With a touch Of infinite calm;
1t Guieted pain and sorrow,
Like love overcoming strife:
1t seemed the harmonious echo
From discordant life.
1t linked all perplexcd meanings
Into one of perfect peace,
And trembled away into silence
As II it We're 10th to cease.
j have sought, but seek it yainly,
That one lost chord divine;
Which came from the soul of the organ
And entered into mine.
1t may be that Deaths bright angel
VIII speak in that chord again;
1t may be that only in heaven
l shall hear that grand Amen.

The HaIf-FOrgotten Spinet.

From the New England Magazine.
Beneath the rafters, black and bare,
The ancient spinet stands;
The spiders o 'er its yellow keys
Have stretched their fillny strands;
Around its weak and tottering frame
The airy eobwebs blow,
In lieu of slken tapestries
That moldered LONG ago.
But windy nights quaint old tune
Comes stealing down the stair,
For then she wakes the keys again.
ghost with powdered hair.
The mice go dancing fn and out
To melodies she sung
When fashion trod the minuet
And Washington was young.
Around he. on the garret floor
Her singing satins trail:
A haunting sorrow dims her eyes;
Her face is proud and pale.
But when l climb the creaking staiA
The gnsty moonlight falls
On nothing but the withered herbs
That hang against the walls.
And yet the spinet trembles still
To that forgotten tune;
The ashes of a crumbled rose
Upon the keys are strewn;
And yonder chest below the caves
Her gown of satin holds
With sprigs of broken Lavender
Between its faded folds.

Clement Scott in The sketch.
When YOU are staying at Biarritz. mind
you walk out one day and visit the humble
retreat of the self-sacrificing Bernardines,
or. to- put it more plainly, the Sisters of ST.
1ence. They live close by the Convent of
'NOtre Dame du Refuge. among the sands,
and the dunes and the scattered fir trees
on the wild coast of the Bay of Biscay, half
way between Biarritz and Bayonne. You
will doubtless be staying at the Hotel du
Palais. which. as you know, was once the
summer residence of the Empress Eugene,
when her now saddened life was all sun
shine and happiness; and you may take it
from me. for l hapen to know, that her
majesty the empress of the French took no
greater interest in any religious order than
in her favorite penitents who are bound to
mortify the tongue and eye, who never
speak. and who never look into human
facet
All this was whispered in my ear by an old
friend before | left London for my winter
holiday. which was to be spent under the
shadow of the PyreneeS, close by the border
line between Spain and France. l confess
that | had never before heard of the Ber-
narlines knew that there was any re-
Iigous order of women which observed the
laws of silence and abasement. OF course,
L know the Trappist monks. who never
speak. and who dig their own graves, and
have seen them at their dumb and isolated
work in more than one country, but / had
yet to become acquainted with La Soli-
tude, near Biarritz, where under the very
hardest and strictest conditions of life wo-
men rescued from the world--as in the case
of the penitents of the Good Shepherd at
Mil Hill-seek pardon in self-denial and
good works.
Are Never Idle.
But do not believe for a moment that
however bitter their task, however humble
their dwelling in the lonely dunes" how
ever lowly and unadorued their chapel
their refsctOry and their "ceiluies'
almost resemble prisoners cell, with moth
ing but sand for the ficor-these solitary
and silent women are ever idle. They till
the barren soil and make it fertile they
cultivate flowers and grow vegetables in
abundance, which are freely sold in the
markets of France well of Spain: they
make lace, they make shoes, they paint
cards with exquisite taste-all of which pro-
duce is sold for the benefit of the Convent
of the Refuge, with its sister and adjacent
home. La Solitude All hey cannot do
by the rules of the severe order to
which they have voluntarily bound them
selves for life. is to speak or TO lift up their
ewes to look into human face. Speeches.
and with ever dOWncast eyes, they mediate
hour ny hour and day after day on the life
that is past and the Efe that Is to come,
tOiling working. praying and doubtless re-
fecting on the motto that hangs on the con-
ent walls.
