be understood that the person who hires 1t has tho

Hand in Hand.
It stands in a sunny meadow,
The house mossy and brown,
With its cumbrous old stone chimneys,
and the gray roof sIoping down.
The trees fold their green arms round it,
The trees a century old;
And the winds go chanting through them,
And the sunbeams drop their gold.
The cowslips spring in the marshes,
The roses bloom on the hill,
And beside the brook in the pasture
The herds go feeding at will.
Within, in the wide old kitchen,
The old folks sit in the sun,
That creeps through the sheItering wOodbne,
Till the day is almost done.
The children have gone and left them;
They sit in the alone;
And the old wife's ears are failing
As she harks to the well-known tone
That won her heart in her girIhood-
That has soothed her in many q care
And praises her now for the brightness
Her old face used to wear.
She thinks again Of her bridal
How, dressed in q robe Of white,
She stood by her gay young lover
In the morning rosy llght
OH the morn is rosy as ever,
But the rose from her cheek is fled;
And the sunshine still is golden,
But it falls a silverea head.
And the girlhood Dreams once banished,
Come back in her winter time,
Till her feeble pulses trenble
With the thrill Of springtime's prime.
And, looking forth from the window,
She thinks how the trees have grown,
Since clad in her bridal whiteness,
She crossed the old door-stone.
Though dimmed her eyes bright azure,
And dimmed the hairs young gold
The love in girIhood plighted
Has never grown dim or old.
They sat in peace in the sunshine
Till the day almost done,
And then, at its close, angel
Stole over the threshold stone.
He folded their hands together
He touched their eyelids with balm,
And their last breath floated outward,
Like the close of solemn psalm
Like bridal pair they traversed
The unseen mystical road,
That leads the Beautiful City
Whose " builder and maker is God.'
Perhaps, In that miracle country,
They viii give her lost youth back,
And the flowers of the banished springtime
Will bloom in the spirits track.
One draught from the living waters
Shall call back his manhood's prime;
And eternal years shall measure
The love that outIasted time
But the shapes that they left behind them,
The wrinkles and silver hair
Made holy TO by the kisses
The angels had printed there
We will hide away meath the willows,
Whsn the day is low in the west;
Where the sunbeams cannot find them,
Nor the winds disturb their rest.
And we'll suffer telI-tale tombstone,
With its age and date, to rise
O'er the two that old no longer,
In the Fathers house in the skies.

Some years ago when the writer was
reporter upon an Eastern paper, it de-
volved on him to write for the same edi-
ton an account of the presentation of a
gold-headed cane to the Rev. DIR. Nudge,
the clergyman of the place, and descrip-
tion of Il new hog-killing machine that
had just been put in operation at the fac
tory. Now, what made the Rev. DR..
Nudge mad was this: The inconsiderate
buccaneer who made up the forms got the
two locals mixed in frightful manner.
and something like this was the appalling
result:


''Some of the Rev. Mudge's friends
called on him yesterday. and after brief
consultation the unsuspecting hog was
seized by the hind legs and slid along the
beam until he reached the hot water tank
His friends explained the object of their
visit and presented him with handsome
gold-headed butcher, who grabbed him by
the tail, and swung him around, and in
less than minute the carcass was in the
water. Thereupon he came forward and
said there were times when the feelings
overpowered one, and for that reason he
would not do more than attempt to thank
those around him for the manner in which
so huge an animal was cut in fragments
was astonishing. The doctor concluded
his remarks, the machine seized him, and,
in less than it takes to write it, the hog
was cut into fragments and worked into
delicious sausage. The occasion will be
remembered by The doctors friends as one
of the most delightful of their lives. The
best pieces can be obtained for fifteen
cents per pound, and we are sure those
who sat under his ministry will rejoice to
hear that he has been so handsomely
treated"
