However, Mary was too truly wom-

keeping company before she gave i

doing we'll in business.
One evening they sat together on
the sofa; seated Mary could forget her
proportions. The room was dimly
LIGHTED. Ned had been speaking OF
his future, and in the short silence
that followed it dawned on Mary what
a lovable fellow Ned was, that his
visits were the sweetest experience
in her life. and meeting his S.ance

Where Glory Waits Thee.

Go where glory waits thee,
But. while fame elateS thee,
Oh. still remember me.
When the praise thou meetc5t
To thine ear is sweetest,
Oh, then remember men.
Other arms may press thee,
All the joys that bless thee
Sweeter far may be;
But when friends are nearest,
And when joys are dearest,
Oh, then remember me.
When at eve thou rovest,.
BY the star thou lowest,
Oh! then remember me.
Think. when home returning.
Bright we've seen it burning;
Oh! thus remember me.
Oft as summer closes.
When thine eye repOses
On its lingering roses.
Once so loved by thee,
Think of her who wOve them,
Oh! then remember me.
When, around thee dying.
Autumn leaves are lying,
Oh! then remember me.
And, at night, when gazing
On the gay hearth blazing.
Oh! still remember me.
Then, should music, stealing,
All the soul of feeling,
To thy heart appealing,
Draw one tear from thee;
Then let memo~y bring thee
Strains 1 used to sing thee
oh, then remember me.

"'Quick, Nat,' he gaspcd: take de
