By Horace Seymour Keller. They come together with "howdy-do?" Old friends who hadn't met for many a
 year; He was a weedy bachelor it's true, And she a spinster of most welcome
 cheer. They'd gone together in the olden Days, long spun out behind them both.
 I wot; TO one another's wonder and amaze Slight things came up that neither had

 dwell,
 While he kept lingering along on Joe. "But Jenny didn't seem to fancy you; Said he: And Joe he hooked another
 girl" His black eyes looked Into her eyes of

AFTERWARD.

By Robert Louis Stevenson. We uncommiserate pass into the night. From the loud banquet and departing
 leave A tremor in mems memories. faint and
 sweet And frail as music. Features of our face, The tones of the voice, the touch of loved
 hand, Perish and vanish one by one. from
 earth. Meanwhile. in the hall of song, the null titude Applauds the new performer. One. per-
 chance, One ultimate survivor, fingers on, And smiles, and to his ancient heart re-
 calls The long forgotten. Ere the morrow die, He, too. returning, through the curtain
 comes, And the new age forgets us and goes on.

I'm going home. I am going to my own hearthstone, Bosom'd in yon green hills alone A secret nook in pleasant land. Whose groves the frolic fairies plann'd, Where arches green. the livelong day, Echo the blackbird's roundelay, And vulgar feet have never trod- spot that Is sacred to thought and God. Oh. when I'm safe In my sylvan home, I tread on the pride of Greece and Rome And when I'm stretched beneath the
