As We GROW OLD.

AS we grow old-as all must do
And life takes on sweeter hue,
Things long forgotten come to cheer
The burden Of each passing year.
And, as they one by one unfold,
Give recompense for growing old.
Our happy childhood days of yore
Unlock themselves from memory's store.
And once again we know the joys
We had. when little girls or boys,
Without the after sorrows rolled.
But put away when we grow old.
Again as merry tots we play
And in the daisy meadows stray.
And bake our mud pies In the sun,
And home from school delighted run;
Again the fairy tales are told
We all grow young when we grow old.
Kneeling before our cribs we see
Ourselves in childs simplicity
Lisping our "Now lay me- while
Dear mother, with her loving smile.
Bestows her goodnight kiss to hold
More sacred still when we grow old.
Again we're in our childhood's home.
Without wish to ever roam;
The dear old pictures and the clock.
The chair in which we loved to rock
While mother held US we behold
With eager eyes when we grow old
Once more we hear the birds that sung
Around our door when we were young
And see the garden, yes, and smell
Its flowers At the dear old well
We quaff its crystal water cold
With added thirst when we grow old.
Once more up in our high chair seat
We feast on mush and milk SO sweet,
And taste the cookies mother made.
Again, by her dear hands arrayed,
We march to Sunday school inscribed
Upon our hearts when we grow old.
AS we grow old-as all must do
Our childhood pleasures we review,
And in those happy days we seem
To live again all in a dream
But tbs a dream most sweet to hold
When we grow young by growing old.

THE ROTATION PENNY.
Quaint Holiday Gust O m in the Schools
Of Our Country a Cen.
fury Ago.

A curious custom is described in St.
Nicholas by Marguerite L. Hinchman.
The schools of our country 100 years
ago, she says, would hardly be recog-
nized as schools by the children of to-
day. The schoolhouses were small and
one-roomed, frequently heNagonal,
that is six-sided' like bees honeywell.
At first there were no desks, rude bench
es being used instead, while great logs
took the place of chairs. But the hoi-
days came round as regularly then as
they do now, and commencement day
was no doubt looked forward to with
as much delight and eagerness. There
were no Exercises" with dreadfully
long speeches, but all was feasting and
merry-making.
A great picnic was given at the
schoolhouse. On this grand occasion
the children, dressed in their ''best
bibs and fuckers" came early with
their parents and families, and the min
listers and authorities of the COM
munity were always present. The
school-teacher presided over the feast,
and paid for the food with pennies that
had been brought to him during the
whole year.
It was the custom for each pupil to
bring penny, or some small sum,
which enabled the teacher to furnish
the treat. If he lived in a generous
neighborhood, this gave him quite'a lit
tie sum above the costs of the feast.
This custom gave rise to the, name of
''potation" or ''drinking-penuy."
They had all the good things to eat
and drink that one could think of,
They had buns, jam-tarts, gooseberry
pies, and cakes made in all shapes
dogs made of cake, birds made of cake,
and gingerbread men, of course. Then
they had figs and dates, brought to the
colonies in trading vessels, and ale and
cider of their own making.
Thisold custom the colonists brought
from England. There is a record Of it
in the statutes of Hartleibury, Worces-
tershire, ''the seventh year of our
Sovereign Lady Queen Elizabeth':
1.-THE said schoolmaster shall and may
have, use, and take the profits of all such
potations as are commonly used in schools,
and such other gifts as shall be freely
given them, over and besides their
wages, until their salary and stipend shall
be augmented"
In some of the counties of England
this is still continued.

Now . telegraph BOY,

A nobleman once insisted on his head
gardener taking as an apprentice a
young lad in whom he was interested.
The lad was very lazy, and the gardener
was not at all pleased at having such a
youth thrust upon him.
Some time after his lordship, walking
in the garden, came upon his gardener
and said:
''Well, John, how is my young friend
getting on with you?"
"Oh, he's dodn' fine!" replied the gar
dener, with smile. Hes workin'
away there at the very job that suits
him! 'Ee's a-chasin' of the snails OF n

Craters of the Moon.

Astronomers are discussing the the.
DRY that the moon is in its glacial epoch
One telescope expert calls the ezra

their sides glacial weather. Another
insists that the signs of volcanic action
are unmistakable. All agree that most
of the moons surface is intensely
white. The dark regions are termed
seas, but there is no evidence that they
contain water. Some writer's believe
they are covered with the earliest forms
of vegetation. It remains for the TWEEN
