Longing
How oft we feel a longing,
That comes with a touch of pain,
1t enters the heart unbidden,
And leaves but to come again.
And we long for something higher,
Than has fallen to our lot,
Just simple wistful longing,
For something, we know not what.
Sometimes It comes at evening,
After a day of care.
When the burden has seemed heavy,
SO heavy, and hard to bear.
1t comes to the heart grown weary,
This touch of an unseen hand,
And we yearn to tell the longing,
To one, who could understand.
On, lofty aspirations,
That come to us DER and DER,
We are better for your coming,
Stronger than We were before.
And some day We'll cease to wonder,
AS our dreaming we recall.
Why we never quite accomplished,
What we longed to, most of ell.

visitor at the hocse recently. 1t was one
of the many rainy days of Spring, and
the visitor lifted up her voice and la
mented loudly. The weather was bad
enough, TO be sure, but 1t was not the
weather but the railroad companies
against which she had a grievance
''Ridiculous" she said, vehemently.
"Ridiculousl Here it Is pouring the rain
on, and in sheets. all the open cars on.
and IL the car is at all full the last com
ers must sit on the ends of the seats,
which are drenched with water If this
continues, they will have us all in the
cemetery"
That sounded serious. and the small bow
looked sober as he turned the matter over
in his mind.
Papa" he said, finally, in thoughtful
tones, ''do you suppose there is a COM
bine between the railroads and the ceme-
terry people?'
