In the Grapevine Swing

IN sorrow. remorse and in pain:
So no wonder the song with ITS SAD re-
frain ,
To my senses sweet memories bring;
'Oh. to be boy, with heart full OF
joy.
Swinging in the grapevine swing"
The cares of life and the falsehoods Of
The losses that caused me such pain: i,
The trust l had given to those that
loved.
To find IL was only in vain:
The remembrance of these was taken
away
While / heard that sweet voice sing;
"Oh, to he n boy, with a heart fuil OF Joy'
Swinging in the grapevine swing
Happy the singer who values her ght
And sings for the hearts of mem
Happy the poet who breathes into verse
The thoughts that shall live again.
While ever and ever the cry returns
In mans fevered brain 1t Will ring
"Oh! to be a boy. with a heart full OF Joy'
Swinging in the grapevine swing
Refrain -.,
Swinging in the grapevine swing.
Laughing while the wild birds sing;
oh, to be a boy. with heart run o. Joy
Swinging in the grapevine swing.

said in a public address that the best
sermon he had ever heard was preach
ed to him by an old colored man, the
former body servant of Gov. Bull of
South Carolina.
DIR. Backus was visitor to Charles

with a confederate soldier who fired
the first shot at Fort Sumter he met
this aged negro. The confederate
asked him how he was getting on.

HELP FOR BACKWARD CHILDREN.
Prussia and Norway Have Excellent
Systems in Operation.

Prussia and Norway Have Excellent
Systems in Operation.
In Prussia a law has been in force
since 1880 compelling cities of 10000
or more inhabitants to support sepa-
rate schools for children unusually
backward in their studies. Only chill
dren are admitted who have been in
elementary schools for two years and
have been unable to do the work.
Here these backward children have
special attention. Six years is the
duration of the course. These schools
are called auxiliary" and are general
ly in the same buildings with the
other schools. The time of opening
ana closing is fifteen minutes later
than the other schools. The teachers
of these auxiliary schools have the
same salaries as in the regular schools
and a bonus of from $25 to 500 a
year. The quality of the children en-
tering these schools differs greatly
if we may judge by the returns from
the schools. OF the children leaving
these schools capable of making their
own living the percentages one year
were: AK, IS; Dusseldorf, so; Co.
logne, 81; Brunswick, 80; Dresden
and Hanover. 100.
In Norway the children that reach
these schools are later divided into
three classes. The first class are
frightened up and returned to the
public schools. the second class spend
their whole school lives in these spe-
cial schools, while the third class, con-
sisting of those children whose men
tai condition is too low to make day
school work with them possible, are
sent to an institution for mentally de-
ficiapt children

When the last ray of daylight expires;
With a vast constellation of fires

In an intricate kind OF dance.
In a mystical maze they are led.
And / watch them 1t noselessly tread
with eyes that are heavy with trance
And oft from the whirl and the thfons
