TIlUItSDAY, APRIL 2, 1:6
The OU Spring House.
With ila lude walla of stone and its nioss
covered roof
(Tia a picture inwoven with memory's
woof)
It stands there to day, as it stood in the
years
When we knew aught of smruw nor
anguish nor tear?;
And though far frjui it now, I can see it
at will
The old spring house at the foot of the
hill.
0 flights of fond fancy that deeply inurn
Sweet scenes of our childhood, no uu re
to return !
Which carry us back in visions and
dreams
And illumine life's pathway with memo
ry's gleams
Till we see once again, though with tears
the eyes fill,
The old spring house at the ft jt of the
hill I
Thero we children, barefooted, would
wander to play,
And wado in tho branch that flowed on
tho way
Through the meadows and fields with
current so fleet,
And tho gurgle and ripple that sounded
so sweet !
And the water that helped turn the
wheel at the mill
Was from the spring house at the foot of
the hill.
And oh I I remember a pair of blue eyes,
With glances as tender and soft as the
skies,
And a little brown head that was covered
with curls,
And the laughter that rippled between
rows of pearls,
Which was changed to a cry of despair
and of woe
When the craw fi-ih was clinging to a
little pink toe.
Distilled by the heart into memory's wine,
As thus that we drink a draught that's
divine,
And lighten the burdens which after
years bear,
And banish with dreaming the demon of
tare I
0, in fond recollection I linger there still,
By the old sprini; house at the foot of
the hill !
Though vanished forever the faces that
smiled,
And hushed is the laughter I heard
when a child
Yet often when musing they fl iat back
to me,
And I see them and hear it as clear a
can be i
And I'm plavinir. aaain, while the heart
strings all thrill,
By tho old spring hou.e at the foot
the hill.
GETTING READY FOR SPRING
; STOCK.- -
Sweetest Sung.
I have heard the greatest artists that the
world shall ever see
Sing all the (grandest musie of the day
I have sat with soul transported in :
mist of melody,
As I listened to each life-uplifting lay
But the music that is sweetest surest
round my heart to cre ;p
Is the yoice that every evening softly
sings my boy to sleep.
Sinking in the twilight simple, soulful
little airs.
Fragments of some love song, old and
dear:
They touch my better nature and they
melt my heart to tears,
Just the kind of music that is always
good to hear;
So full of Heaven's tenderness, with love
so sure and deep.
Is the voice that in the twilight softly
sings my boy to sleep.
Heart swells from her girlhood, mayb
seeing through girlish tears,
Now doing cradle duty for her Gd
They come to me like echoes from tb
tomb of Ijurieu years
Just a little clitiuwe of Eden on the
eod;
0. the air is full of an. 'els and their
wings around me sweep,
As I listen to the twilight voice that sin;
my boy to sleep
TEMP E It AN C K LACONICS.
There never was a cow that gave milk
punch.
One small saloon can throw a shadow
ov r a whole village.
What a world ot misery ana crime
wdl vanish with the saloon.
The saloon is the great breastwork bi
hind which Satan carries no his d
warfare for human souls.
Whiskey hai no respect for bullion
nor birth: it will, stagger a millionaire
or a prtnee as quickly as a piuper or
trap.
Temperate people d I n it seek to d
the i-aloon man harm. Their Mru.le
it to prevent him from doing nth
harm.
