Mrs. Miller, wife of the Rev MT. Miller.
Phillipsburg, n. j., a presiding elder of
the Methodist Episcopal church, recently
went to Flanders to visit her father Rem

long believed his daughter TO be dead.
Mr.. Bowman's first wife was Miss Mary

she died about 40 years ago, Mrs Miller

TIE FLOWER ON THE TRAIL.

Ny heart was weary yesterday.
l said: The day Is long:
the busy hum OF middle day
Shuts out the morning song:
The rush of myriad hurryiug feet
That crowd the upward slope
Have crushed the daisies into dust
And spent the dcws of hope.
Then straight within the tramp'cd path
The eager thronE had trod
little purple flower Enclosed
nor pinned for Grcener sod:
And one whose load had weighted sore
Looked down at IL and smiled.
And dreamed of woodland trails he'd
loved
To follow when a child
So. sim. when bitterness and fret
Would drown the melody.
Some little harmony steals In
To set the music free;
And We may keep till cvcntiJe
The morning joys we knew.
III ever In our hearts there live
The daisies and the dew.
