By ihe tread of countless feel;
Where the Bleeding Heart, all sorrow-torn
Grows hard by the Bitter Sweet.
But here, where the Golden Glow upspritigs
From a happy dream fulfilled,
The path seems dim, till iis winding brings
It again to heart's blood spilled.
The red, red Rose of Love blooms true
Where a lover kissed a lass,
Bui the pathway leads to a bed of rue
On over the trodden grass.
And here, w here the Passion Flowers sleep
! In a purple and silver gleam
i Is the spot where a dtuy knell to weep
! By the grave of a dear dead dream.

And the cross of life oppress.

She cut me loose from my swaying stem
In the sweep of the silvery dew ;
She took me away from my garden home
And the old time friends I knew.
Away from the mold of my crimson clan
Through a hallway dark and cool,
When she buried my thirsty, drooping lips
In the depths of a crystal pool.
She brought me forth in the twilight's shade
With a smile as her red hps
Pressed against my own, and her eyes were bright,
And she placed my head on her breast;
And together we wandered forth again,
When the moon danced through the trees,
And the breath of my clan came back to nie
On the sweep of the twilight breeze.
Our pathway led to the garden gate,
When out to the moonlight clear
Another came up the winding road
With an old time song of cheer
And side by side on ihe rustic bench
They sat when the moon rose dim,
And when he left for the road again
He took me away with him.
He opened ihe dusty book one night
When I had lain through the years;
And his eyes half closed in ihe lonesome room,
Looked down through a mist of tears;
And he kept me then till the gray dawn swept
The shadows away with iis gleams;

"Ashes of roses and dreams."

THE FIDDLE IN THE CHOIR.
Editor of Chnrity and Children
Would Mac a Doen Violins in
the Choir of the Church at
which He Worships.
North Carolina can boast of one
ediior w ho lias the rijln sort of
. music in his soul. 1 lis name is
Archibald Johnson and he presides
1 over Charity and Children. He
; is an admirer a devotee of the
fiddle, known in polite socieiy as
the violin, and he wains more of
the fiddle in the choir. I le agrees
with David that the Lord should
be praised on stringed instruments,
and if he hail his way and could
i secure them, he would have a
: dozen Hddles in the choir of the
; church at which he worships.
"Singers," he says, "know the
! value of the violin skillfully played
and the wonderful help it renders,
i We rejoice to see the king of in
; sirumenis coining into its own.
: For many years it has been in the
. hands of the devil because of the
! prejudice of good people against
iis use. Why is it not just as con
sistent to tear out the floors of our

hrolher is moved to qualify it by
I the reluctant admission thai "if
the fiddle makes some good broth-
er to offend no riddle should be
j played," for "harmony is necessa
ry outside as well as within the
choir." Here is a noble soul wil
ling to surrender iis appreciation
of the fiddle rather than give some
old rooster cause to rebel against
this appearance of worldliness in
ihe church. Anyhow, he has
thrown out a him to other cham
pions of the riddle. He has sowed
the seed, as it were, even if he
does glance askant at the coming
i of the crop. He has tuned up the
fiddle and passed it along to those
who can play it the sly old sinner.
