THE DEAR OLD HOME.

Therel how the ehirp of that lonelj
orioket brings to mind the dear eld home,
yet, years and years and years ago, we
are afraid to say how many when the
breeiet crept in under tha law banging
branohca and the graoeful elm swept the
roof ot tha old home with a loving em
brace, wheo tht odor of phloi and tube
roses was wafted in from tha garden,
We remember tha deep dark tbtdow un
der the rough old oak, and tha ruddy
lights through tha red curtained wio-
iows; the pleaaaot rooms, the books, the
music, aod mother. Do you remember
mother? It ia your mother we mean.
The mother who laughed over our baby
antic, grew proud of our boyish tri
umphs, hid her sad heart beats when we
loft the home fold to win our way in the
world, the mother whoe hair grew gray
in her care for us, whtse heart grew
umble by the multitude of her prayers
in our behalf; whoso face grew mors
tender aa the years marked their pro
grass upon her cheeks, whose steps falt
ered and whose hands trembled because
her bouyaney had been givjn freely in
our behalf. The mother who staid id
the old borne while we were far away.
The mother bird io the neat after the
fledgling had flown. There tame at last
letter to nt io another band, and dear
old mother was at rest. Then we went
home but the old time home was goDt
forever. Ah, we know, how trivisl
everything then seemed beside) mother's
lore. We know how a kind word of
old would have cheered her heart. We
know how the business earea orowded
out the home letters; and bow mother
watched and waited for the tardy missive.
We know how her heart bled lor an old
time caress, sod how she went to rost
with a prayer on her lips for you. Aod
now it ia too late, and the orickets play
their lonesome melody, while a white
atone io "God's Acre" marks where
mother rests after her work is done
Remember mother, boys, before it ia too
ite we bave yet time to show our
appreciation of her love. 8ee her hair
it ia as white as snow, and It has been
bleached by care of us. Watoh her steps
how they ialter. Cherish her. 8bow
her your love. Court her ts you would
sweetheart, if you would make her
happy. All too soon this mother will
be gone, and then God grant the cricket

A LAST TALK,
BY JAMES LINDSAY GORDON,
Come out io the garden and walk with me,
While tha dancers whirl to that dreamry tune.
Look I tha moonlight silvers the sleeping tea,
And tht world is fair aa a night in J one,
Let me hold your hand, aa I used to do ;
This is the last, last time, yon know,
For, to-morrow a wooer oomes to woo,
And to win you, though I love you to.
Yon are pale, or is it (he moonlight gleam,
That givea to your face that sorrowful look T
We must wake at last from our summer dreams,
We have oome to the end of our tender book,
Love, the poet, has written well ;
He hat won our hearts by his poems sweet ;
And now, at the end, we must lay farewell
Ah, but the summer was fair and fleet,
Do you remember the night we met?
You wore a rose io your yellow hsir ;
Closing my eyes I can see you yet,
Just as you stood on the topmost sUir,
A flutter of white from head to feet,
A cluster of buds on your breast. Ah, me I
But the vision wis never half so sweet,
As it is to-night io my memory.
Here the viols cry, and the deep bassoon,
Seems sobbing out in its undertone,
Some sorrowful memory--The tune
Is the saddest one I have ever known,
Or ia it because we must patt to-night,
The music seems to sad T Ah, me 1
You are weeping, Love, and your lips are white
The ways of life are a mystery.
I love yon, Love, with a love so true,
That in coming years I shall not forget
The beautiful face and the dream 1 knew,
And memory always will hold regret,
I shall atand by the aea aa we atand to night,
And think of the aummr whose blossoms died,
When the (roats of late fell chill and white,
On the fairest lower of the summer tide.
They ate oalliog yon. Must I let you go?
Must I say good-bye, and go my way ?
If we must part, it is better so
Good-bye's such a sorrowful word to say I
Give me, my darling, one last, aweet kisa
So we kiss our dear ones, aod aee them die,
But death holds in parting so sad aa thie :
God bleaa you and keep yon and ao good-bye.
An Irishman somewhat undur the in
fluence of liquor, ambling home on a re
cent evening happened to pars a church
and, being attracted by the sound of
music, paused for a while aod then stag
gered towsrd the entranoe.
With his natural bump of caution,
however, he looked op at the spire to aee
that the proper kiod of a oross wss on it,
for to the mind of most good Catholics
it would be almost a sacriligs to go into a
Protestant Church. He aaw the cross,
whioh apparently satisfied his soruplee,
and be wont in, sitting down io a pew
near the door.
The heat being somewhat oppressive,
he fell asleep.
After the service had ended the sex
ton began at the altar to turn out the
lights.
Coming down the aisle he tripped
over the foot of the sleeping man io the
pew, and lookiog down, diagnosed the
oase in a moment.
He gave the sleepiog man a shake and
said: "See here, my good man, wake
up and get out of here at once. You
are io the wtong place, anyway thia it
not your church."
The Irishman sat up, rubbed his eyes,
and, developing an argumentative strain,
ssid in a rather thick, guttural voice:
'fit ain't my church? Whose church
is it, if it sid t mice?
"This is tha Protestant Episcopal
Churoh "
"It's no such thing!"
"I tell you it is, and you must get out
of here."
He straightened himself up, and,
pointing a wavering finger toward the
altar, laid:
"Isn't that the figure of St. Joseph
op there on the right?"
The sexton was forced to reply in the
affirmative.
"Yes," replied the sextoo.
"What it that io the center?"
"That it the statue of our Saviour."
The Irishman wito look of mingled
triumph and contempt, aaid, lookiog the
sexton as Dearly in the eye as he could:
"For God t sake, whin did thim turn
Protestants?"
SUNSET SONG.
Is it a dream? The day is done,
The loog, warm, fragrant summer day;
Afar beyond the bills, the sun
In pnrple splendor sinks away ;
The firefly lights her Honing spark
While here and there the first large
atara
Look out, impatient for the dark ;
Tha eowt atand waiting by the bare;
A group of children eauntert by
Toward home, with laugh and aportivt
word,
Oot pausing, aa the heara tht high
Soft prelude of to nnseen bird
"8weet tweet twett
Sorrawful eoirowful torrowful."
Down from immeasurable heighta
The dear notea drop like crystal rain
The echo of all loat delighta,
A youth's hiach hopes, all hidden pain
All love'a aoft musio, heard no more
But dreamed of and remembered

Ah, how oan mortal bird outpour
Such honjin heartbreak io a song?
What ean ha know of lonely yean,
Of idole only raited to fall,
Of broken faith aod aecret teere ?
