AFTER

One who was rich picked out q spot
He built himself costly tomb,
That all the people might know wher9
He rested when his work was done
The marble glistened in the sun:
The white shaft lowered in the air.
Had love of men big in his heart;
He sang to make the signing glad.
And preached for peace with all his art.
His song died his lips one day.
They laid the flI-clad form away.
From all the costly tombs apart
Broad paths are beaten to spot
Watched now with loving, jealous care:
And rich and poor and great and small
Fare far to stand uncovered there.
High the HILL seen from below,
A rich tomb stands, but few men go
To see what name the shaft may bear.

An Old Story.

The train slowed up at a little town
scarcely more than "a broad place
in the road" and young couple got
on board Then entered a second
class coach, filed with second-class
people, at least such they were sup
posed to be, for money makes hui
mainly frst-class, and lack of it the
commoner.
The girl was young with roses,
such as youth and health and virtue
have a way of painting in a country
maiden's cheek, but in her eye she
wore a frightened expression-a
glance you've seen in the eyes of
a captured rabbit. She was dressed
in white with gay little colored rib
bons at her throat and neck, while
her hair was curled and fell around
her shoulders, giving her face the
appearance of child, while her fig
ure bespoke young womanhood- When
they were seated, she pressed her
face against the car window, and
looked back longingly at the little
country town, until the tears filled
her eyes, and distance hid the top
of the white church tower, then she
turned and looked at the man beside
her and bit her lips to hide their

Fellow passengers nudged one an

remarked aloud. '"Twas mighty fun
ny her ma didn't come down to see
'em of, or give 'em basket of lunch,
or nuthin' while her companion
wondered "why in the land of the
Twin she didn't do up her hair, SO
long as she got married."
He didn't leave her side during the
trip to the city"-"jest like a bride
groom" the old lady remarked
again-"never seen one who could

When it was growing dark and the
crossing of switches, the passing of
side-tracked freight cars, the twinkle
o. electric lights, and the shrek of
engines told of the close proximity
of 'the CITY," of which she had heard
all the eighteen years of her life, but
never had seen, she grew restless and
kept asking her companion if the train
wasn't pretty nigh to the station
while he-well, he didn't altogether
appear the happy bridegroom he was
supposed to be.
When the train at last stopped
