DEAR OLD RICHMOND.

When. the shadows of the night begin to
And the moon begins to shine,
My thoughts are not Of the beauty that
Dear old Rialmo&e Is the only thought
that's In my mind.
How I5slong to see old Richmond,
That was once my Southern home;
How 7 long to see old Monroe,
There among the trees roamed.:
There are cities with light and beauty,
Like New Y ork N that is so nenr,
But the city I like and love best
Is Richmond, Richmond, dear
And as stand and think Of Richmond,
e That city so grand and true, a4
My only wish Is Richmond.
That I could once more see you.
Patchoque is a pretty place. u
h But sad the days I roam,
AS my thoughts turn back to-
Dear old Richmond. my Southern home.

THINGS THAT NEVER. DIE

The pure, the bright the beautiful.
That stirred our hearts IN youth.
The impulse OF wordless prayer,
IT The dream Of love and truth.
The longing after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes
These things shall never die.
The tlmid hand stretched forth to aid
The brother in his need:
The kindly word In gref's dark hour5,
That proves n friend indeed:
Tho plea for mercy, softly breathed,
p When justice threatens nigh;
Tho Borrowings OF q contrite heart
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to. do.
Lose not n chance to waken love.
BE firm and lust and true:
30 shall a light that cannot fade
! Beam on thee from on high,
And angels voices say to thee,
