Anyth i ng ? i THE OLD HOUSE. It stands In a desolate, -weed, grown garden Where once the rose and the lilao grew And the lily lifted a waxen chalioe To catch the wine of the summer's dew. The grass creeps In o'er he mossy threshold. The dost lies deep on the rotting floor, And the wind at will is coming, going, ' Through broken window and open door. Oh, poor old house, do you grieve as men do For the vanished things that were yours of yore, Like a heart In whom love was one time ten ant, Bnt has gone away to come back no moref Do you dream of the dead as the days pass over? Of the pang of parting and joy of birth In hearts turned dust? Ah, that dust is scat tered By winds of a lifetime to ends of earth! Bee! Here by the path is one little blossom. It lifts to the sunshine a fragile face. It springs from a root that some dead hand planted A century back in the dear home place. Little thought they whom the old house shel tered 'That life would fade as the leaves that fall. They had their day and ore quite forgotten. The little flower has outlived them all. Eben E. Bexford in Youth's Companion. AN UNSUNG HERO. If ever there lived a saint on earth, it was our old r rector at Barmby, He was not very clever, nor very eloquent, nor," in his eccle siastical notions,- thoroughly up to date. He had never in his life, so far as I know, done anything which the world could call heroic. His biography would have been voted singularly dull reading at the clubs. But for 40 years he had manfully done his humdrum duty in an ob scure little corner of the earth, and to all who came in contact with him he had set an example of per fect Christian courtesy and purity and nobleness of character. A very peaceful spot was the old rectory, with its quaint gables and lattice and upper . windows, sunk deep in the ivy of two centuries, and the jessamine and gelder roses wreathing the porch and lower walls. It was a large house for a Inn aIv nM man. 'Too larsre for me now," the rector used to say, and thm he would utter one of his rare cnrrVia t tnflw whvtlie rector sighed for Hia hnnaehad once had its mistress. and the prattle of a little child had sounded in its rooms. But the child la-tr in tTm rhurchvard. and the of more than 30' winters had shrouded its trimly kept grave, and the -wife well, tne rector never spoke, of her, and all information wa tratlncreA from the CTOSSip Of the few old people in the village who vet remembered her. They all told thA same storv in much the same words and with the same solemn oiiainnm) of the head. So I was im pressed with the facts that she had tuun a trow TlAftUtirUl womtui . Wl LSU M J Tirnins nor an empty churn, aye thinking of her dresses and her gaddings abroaa ana ne er a wuiu v., rrnnA man. and the toor: that, after some years of miserable married life, she naa aiea wnm rvn a trial f: tn friends in London : that the rector had returned from the funeral a broken man, and, kind and cheerful though he was, had really never regained his former spirits. So it came about that the big rectory was but thinly'inhabit .h a old rector, a housekeeper w J naarlv (viiial ace. who had once Tr, nnild's nurse, and a little UOU x nrivileee to be one or the rector's closest friends, and of ten have I blessed the day wneni r-Alnctantlv accepted the Dvuucnuuw w- w . , post of schoolmaster and organist at Barmby vuiage. wo At-i-i. i,of fi-PHt. eveniner. as I crumbled over the hard necessity that had compelled me to bury my vi4-: i f-hof remote SDOt, that OUIUIUUUD v - t . fTierAthe happiest I x vy no iu oym.M. i Tir Mfa nnd eniov the inu- macy of one of the wisest ww of men.' " ' . . . ' . t na oiwava n cTeat treat to hear our rector preach. He was not usually eloquent, as x nuvo a;a ra ahtvar munh leanoinK-iu UAU - v , . . his sermons, save indirectly by that cleanfess of thought and styie which bespeak a thorough grasp of the subject But somehow it was impossible to be inattentive wtole he was in the puipit, for 5ver wbfd had a simple force of its 'own Zl I01?,V''iS 'ien 113 by one.who reit that Ji had a message to deliv er and lon-ed that every one in the church should hear it, for he loved them, and it was for their crood t But on that" particular Sunrtair evening that I am to write about he was at jhis very best Rtpn,Un , in his high pulpit, with the candle light shining on his kindly face and ivoj: iiair, ne looked down Bilently for a space upon the congregation scattered Over the largo-' church be low as if he were breathing a dumb blessing over thorn before he gave out his! simple text, -Little chil dren, loyo one another." I will not try to reproduce what he said. Its indefinable charm lay not so much in the words as in the strange, sym pathetic! thrill of the musical voice at i ,. . - ... ixi luw Kinuung glow of the eloqunt face as he insisted that Christianity without charity is nothing and im- piorea his hearers to beware of harsh judgments, to lav asirlA nnw ite anii hatred, to be merciful and ready to forgive. - It wag a well worn text, an oM " old subject, the theme of many a splendid orator, but never has it been trejated of by one who felt and lived more earnestly the truths he preached to others. Each sentence seemed to come hot from his heart and to express the man and his con-victions-j I do not know how long the sermon lasted, but we all sat spellbound while he continued to speak, listening to the tones of his voice, now ringing out clear and strong 4nd echoed back from roof and arch and pillar, now reasoning quietly and calmly, now sinking to a gentlej, persuasive , pleading that was almost a whisper. When at last he ceased, and, trembling and wip ing nis brow, descended the stone pulpit stairs, I could not somehow break, with the notes of the organ, the great hush that prevailed throughout the church. j In the vestry, after the service, he was very silent, and I knew from the flushed cheek and glowing eye that the spell of his own inspiration was still strong upon him. When !at length his day's work was quite ended, he put his arm af fectionately in mine once more and passed but of the vestry door into the churchyard. The sun had al ready sunk below the horizon, but the moon had not yet risen, and a quiet somber evening light brooded over the jstill and peaceful sleeping place of the dead. Not a breath of air stirred the black cedars or the grass upon the graves, and the fall of our steps upon the graveled path and the hiss of the owl in the belfry were the only sounds that told of. the presence of life. Instead of go ing straight back to the rectory the old manturned once more toward that secluded part of the church yard where all his earthly hopes were entombed. i. Suddenly he started and stopped short. r "What's that?" he almost whis pered, pointing in the direction of the white cross that marked the burial place of his child. My eye followed his finger, and there, sure enough, stretched by the side of the grave, was a dark, hu man form. The rector dropped my arm, and, quitting the path, had ad vanced a few steps over the grass, when suddenly the figure rose and stood facing us. It was a woman, clad in black from head to foot. Her face still wore the marks of beauty, but age had faded it, and it now was . sorrow stricken and hag gard and wan. Yet even in that faint light I could see the hard, de fiant flash in her dark eyes as she stood there, tall and motionless, waiting for us to speak. "Edith J" said the rector in a soft, wondering voice. "Why, Ediel Why, God bless my soul!" There was a hesitating smile upon his face as he spoke, as if he want ed to welcome and reassure and yet was uncertain of his ground ,M "You have caught me, answered the woman. "This is not your way to the rectory. I came" and the hard voice faltered "to see my child's grave once more before be fore it isi too late. " I "Too late?" said the rector inter rogatively. "Too ilate," she replied fiercely. "After tonight I shalj. be more dead to you than ever." And then the head suddenly drop ped down, and the harsh tones grew weak and humble as sne aaaea: "Will you give me just a little food? And then I will trouble you no more." But the rector had returned to his first! thought, and all he could say was: "Edie? Why, Edie re turned Ito her husband? Why, God bless mv soul!" . And so saying he went up to the shrinking woman and tenderly laid his hand upon her arm. Then I thought it was no time for the pres ence of a stranger and stole softly away, but as I turned the corner of the church I saw the old man lead in o- his lone lostwife down the path toward1 the rectory. He was still speaking to her in loving accents of 'You see, she's my wife," said tVia rector, eiving himself a twist in the bie: armchair in the library, whither a brief note had summoned me on the evening following the events I have related. "I see. " I replied and could tnmK of nothing -further to remark. "You see." continued the rector, "No,!" said I, for the tact was too obvious to dispute. "Vnrt see er'r said the rector onrt Ta,used. "Yes1," i answered, for I saw all that, l' ' H j. "Well, she left me and went and fh er elsewhere. " I raised my eyebrows and looked sympathetic, and, indeed, I- felt it, for thepoor old man was miserable and embarrassed. j i "And I in short. I didn't men- rtTt onvhiner about it In fact, I well, I didn t tell the truth about it God forgive me!" said the rector, turning very red and giving me a wretched littie deprecating glance.

It seemed as if the life and soul of Barmby were departing from it,, and as I slowly returned alone, after the last farewell, the cottage, the village crreen.the school the club house, the church, wore a strange ana uiiiannliar look no longer the places I had known and loved so well. Pearson's Weekly. J ' : I . ; A Gllmpso of Itosa Bonbenr. Mr. Vanderbilt and Mr. Avery went down to By one morning to see Mme. Rosa Bonheur at her coun try place oh the outskirts of the for est of i'ontainebleau. Her well ap pointed trap met them at the sta tion and carried them to the house in time for jluncheon. Mme. Bon heur poured out their wine for them herself, and they talked of the for est and the beautiful surroundings of her home.i "Yes." she said, "but hear them cutting ; down trees in the forest sometimes, and every blow of the! ax hurts my heart" She had met Mr. August Belmont and had received commissions from him to paint two pictures when he was United States minister at The Hague. She had told him that she was exceedingly busy and couldn't paint them very soon, and he had said: "How long must I wait? One year, two years? I am getting old, and I want them soon." She asked him how old he was, and when he said, "Seventy-one," she replied, That is my age too." So she shook hands with him and told him she would paint the pictures for him at once. I Mme. Bonheur related this inci dent to her visitors and added : 4 'Mr. Belmont is a great Democrat isn't he? When will he be' elected presi dent of the United States ? " She evi dently thought his chances were very good, but Mr. Vanderbilt told her he thought they were about as good as his own, and ; his he-considered painfully small, so Mme. Bon heur was enlightened on American politics. "At this time," says Mr. Avery, "she did not seem at all old. She had a refined, womanly face and a very sweet voice. Her tempera ment was bright and gay and her manner charming. William A. Coffin in Century. Also to Bo Suspended. It is told of Judge R H.
