THE OLD ORDER cHANeETH."

Y NE who some few decades ago
 Would fain amass a pile
 Secured a job subdued and low \ 1 And toiled the while He summed the paths of dalliance gay; Eschewed the flask, the pipe; Donned homespun raiment every day And dined on tripe. At night he hastened into bed To rest from daily strife; Arose at 4 a. m. and read A. Lincoln's life. But who today woes Mamm on's smile, Has methods not so slow; He dresses in the latest style And furbelow. He gayly tours about at night; He sets the social pace; Stops where the lights are blazing bright; He knows each place Consumes the fatness of the land, Ignites the best cigar And, grasping some one by the hand, Sells him a car.
 George E. Post in Life.

THE NATIONAL GUARD.

"sHEY come at the need of the nation
 From counting house, college
 and shop.
 A The typewriter, ledger and gavel.
 The phone and the hammer they
 drop. With nasty farewell to their dear ones, Though parting Is bitterly hard, They rally with joy to the colors, The men of the national guard Hurrah for the gallant battalions! The Seventh drilled right to hair: Phe old Stxty-ninth, superscrappers, Impatient to do and to dare. The Seventy-first in it's glory Not one by stacker is marred. Hurrah for our citizen soldiers! Hurrah for the national guard! Not only New York has saluted And answered the call of the flag; From far Californias ranches, From Maine and it's outermost crag; From the sunny plantations of Georgia, With snow of the cotton ball starred, Come marching the heroes in khaki, The men of the national guard. They wheel into line by the thousand; No more they belong to the states. Their swords have been pledged to our
 country,
 As sentries they stand at her gates. The wall of their steel is around us. The way of the foe they have barred. They are always prepared to defend us; Thank God for the national guard!
 -Mnna Irving in Leslie's.

GENTLEMAN JIM,

V the Diamond shaft worked Gentle man Jim,
 Handsome of face and stout of limb
 Coarse in dress, but something in him, Whether down in the coal mine, solid and
 grim, Or wandering alone in holiday time, Won the love and respect of all in that
 cline. He had no sweetheart. He had no wife Some mighty sorrow had dimmed his life His earnings, hardly won and small, Were aye at the orphans and widows Of those who had perished in~shaft or
 wings He was the friend of all living things And moving along in those toilsome ways He wore the demeanor of gentler days. In April last when the mine fell in, Beneath the timbers stood Gentleman Jim. With giant grasp he flung two of the
 boys Clear of the danger with deafening noise The shaft gave way on every side. The boys were safe, but Jim-he died: Died as men die, and will die again, Giving their lives for their fellow men, When rocks and timbers were cleared
 away, And Jim borne up to the light of day, They took from his bosom, stained with
 blood, Two withered leaves and withered bud / pinned on a card, "Toute a toi- Marie" Was written beneath them. Beneath it he, On this relic his heart for years had
 worn, Had written "All withered-except the
 thorn'' What life romance, what story of wrong. This man had locked up in his soul so
 long, None who loved him may ever know, But the tale of his glorious chivalric deed Shall not perish as long as men hold this creed: That the hero whose blood for his kind
 is shed Wins a deatEless fame and an honored
 bed A monument grander than sculptor ere
 gave In the glory that hallows the martyrs s
 grave.
 Daniel O'Connell.

 The burs on nut trees burst, love to hunt for chestnuts,
 Though the squirrels get there first love to wander through the woods,
 Through all the rustling leaves, I even love the rainy days,
 When rains drips from the caves. October is the month. think,

 The gem of all the year, And so with all my heart today
