Concord, Mass, recently. In the attic
of the Thoreau homestead was found
quantity of lead pencils all bearing
the stamp "Thoreau and Son." The

pencils to-day are in demand for other
purposes than writing.

The sheep from of the hillside haste to
the shepherds fold,
For death turks in the mountains and
darkness comes apace.
The fleeing sun looks backward and turns
the sky to gold,
Then folds the mantle Of the night
across its crimson face.
Home when the daylight is waning;
Home, when my toiling is done;
All! down by the gate, sweet, watch

Lay aside the hoe and spade, and put the

All the world is weary, and am

Gently fades the rosy light from out the
western sky,

Home, when my toiling is done;
All down by the gate, sweet, watch

Ned's Wife

a VERYBODY but Captain Marvin
lr1, liked handsome Ned Grayling.
~ the most popular hand on board
the old Vanguard.
Ned never shirked his duty but it
was known to a few that he was dead
in love with pretty Cora, the shippers
daughter, who was engaged to a man
named Audley, a junior partner in the
firm of owners, whom she had never
seen. Hence, the old mans dislike for
Ned.
Cora was on board, going home from
Shanghai to her future husband, as we
supposed.
Ned" said l to him one morning.
1--WE a good mind TO get off this rail
and give you a toweling on the spot
You orter have it good and solid. You
orter know what chance a common
sailor has with the captain and act

Never"
You'll be sorry for it some time"
Ned looked over his shoulder and saw
Cora standing in the waist and had
work there instantly. 1 was vexed.
for l knew that the old man was
watching him, and l was afraid he
would get into trouble. He only said
a word or two and passed on, but the
old man saw him speaking to her and
bore up to him.

dare speak to her again and I'll have

You must never speak to the girl
again. She's a fool and forgets that
I've promised her to the best young
man in Philadelphia; leastways every
one saws so. But l never saw him.
Now you must come and make trouble,
blame you!
II love Cora" said Ned, quickly. IF
YOU were to kill me you couldn't
change that. But I'm a gentleman
and if she is promised to some one else
and cares for him I'm not the man to
stand in her way. give you my word
not to speak to her unless you give me
leave"

do as you say" said the captain.
