The day. with its sandals dipped in dew, Has passed through the evening’s goldei gates, And a single star in the cloudless blue For the rising morn in silence waits ; While the winds that sigh to the languic hours A lullaby breathe o’er the folded flowers. The lilies nod to the sound of the stream. That winds along with lulling flow, And either awake, or half adream, I pass through the realms of long ago ; While faces peer, with many a smile, From the bowers of Memory’s magical isle. There are joys and sunshine, sorrows an. tears, That check the path of life's April hours, And a longing wish for the coming foam. That Hope ever wreathes with the fairest flowers ; There are friendships guileless—love as bright And pure as the stars in the halls of night. There are ashen memories, bitter pain, And buried hopes, and a broken vow; And an aching heart by the reckless main, And the sea breeze fanning a pallid brow t - And a wanderer on the shell-lined shore, Listening for voices that speak no more. There are passions strong and ambitions wild. And the fierce desire to sta id in the van Of the battle of life; and the heart of the child Is crushed in the breast of the struggling man; But short are the regrets and few are the tears That fa 1 at the tomb of the banished yean There is a quiet and peace, and domestic lovf, And joys arising from faith and truth, And a truth unquestioning, far above The passionate dreamings of ardent youth; And kisses of children on lijis and cheek, Aud the parent’s bliss, which no tongue c| > sj eak. There are loved ones lost: There are little graves In the distant dell, 'neath protecting trees* Where the streamlet winds and the violet waves. And the grasses sway to the sighing breere: And we mourn for ths prssars of liidcr lips. And the light of eyes darkened in der til’s eclipse. And thus, as the glow of the daylight dies, And the night’s first look to the earth is i cast, I I K az e, ’neath those beautiful summer skies,> At the pictures that hang in the hall of the past: Oh, Sorrow and Joy, chant a midnight lay When to memory’s wild wood we wandc r away: RECLAIMED. How slowly he walked! Poor ch i man! Joe Pollard, ex-president of tn,, was poplin. gray, his hat greasy and quaint-nat terned. Only three years ago, and no more stately, vigorous, hale gentleman walked the streets than Joseph Pollard, Esq.; now he was “old Joe,” and sometimes “poor old Joe.” When he failed, he was living in great splendor. People to this day point out the Pollard mansion, and tell you of its fanner greatness. Happily, there was no dishonor attached to his name. He had given up all; home, horses, carriages, everything that could be dispensed with. His only daughter her name was Jo sephine. hut all her friends called her Jeddy gave a birthnight party only a week before the trouble came,* on her eighteenth birthnight. Never a happic. or lovelier girl than she. Universally ad mired and respected, bright as a sun beam, witty, merry, generous. In all that throng of beauty, amid the flowers ami the feasting, that man would have been bold indeed who could have pres aged coining ill fortune. Only one week later, and the dreadful news came. Joseph Pollard was bank rupt. The cashier had been dishonest, several large firms had gone down, and the run on the bank had completed the ruin. Die father found a place as an assistant bookkeeper, but he had formed the habit of drinking at his own table. Little by little lie sank at last into what seemed an utterly hopeless state, lost his business, his pride, and almost his wits. “My dear," wrote Aunt Prue, when lhe heard of this misfortune, “put your father away. 'I here are plenty of places; and come and live with me. Enough for one is enough for two.” “Aunt Prue,” wrote Jeddy, indig nantly, “I am ashamed of you* What! counsel me to put my own dear father in the poor-house, for what other place is open to him? No. I will share his mis fortunes if I have to work my fingers to the bone.” ' Jeddy, Pm useless. I’m broken down and good for nothing,” whined poor Joe,- day alter day, as Jeddy sat and stitched her life into the work she had under taken. “Father, you are only fifty-eight years old.” was the answer. “Many a man has begun life anew at your age.” “Ah! if I only could!” he would make reply, and drink again to drown his misery. Jeddy had carried much of her fine wardrobe with her into the poverty of her surroundings. Of course, she made over and toned down the material, but “the look of the lady,” as one of the coarser neighbors said, was upon her “and couldn't be mistook.” Everybody pitied her when old Joe came reeling home; but few knew how patiently she put up with his infirmity, how she soothed and coaxed him, w’ith what tenderness she anticipated his wants, and even when it would seem that he was scarcely entitled to her re spect, honored him. To her, under all his wretched dis guises. he was still father. But her constant duties wore heavily upon her. She grew pale and thin, then feverish and hectic ; but still she workedfon. Three times a handsome carriage and pair were seen before the door of her plain little home. The first time a rich aunt came to re monstrate with her and offer her a home. She found her preparing the poor meal over the tiny’ cook-stove. “Jeddy, you are the best girl in the world, but you must go back with me, if only for awhile, and leave that man to take care of himself.” This was after a most affectionate greeting, for Jeddy was her favorite niece. “I couldn’t leave father,” was the re sponse. “But I can’t see you killing yourself by Inches. What does he care? One pcr soji is as good as another to one who has Jost.xl his finer sensibilities, as he has.” |. “Oh, no; at times father is his old self p—even —even at the worst,” she faltered, I “he don't forget that he is a gentleman. Pie never was unkind to me.” i “Fiddlesticks? Your ideas of duty lare exaggerated. Come, now—don’t Idasappoint me—take a little rest. I have Icome all the way from L on purpose |tO carry you back, and the last words your cousin Kitty said, as I left her, were: “Mother, don’t fail to bring .Teddy back, I want to see her.” Tears came to .Teddy's brown eyes, as »he reiterated: “I cannot leave father.” “And here you are, losing all your leauty—all your advantages, and even y>ur health—l can see it! For your /.ther's sake, you ought to go. It would | make a new creature of you to see old t sights, and old faces, and to live a while like a Christian. Why, child, the walls are damp; how do you live?” ; “It isn’t living, aunt, it’s only stay ing.” said Jeddy, trying bravely to smile; “but that 1 can't help, while father lives. There's nobody in all thi* wide world to care for him but me. y I know I might live in ease and comfort ;if I went with you; ami oh, sometimes j my heart does long so for a little of the ' old-time joy! It would be like looking ] into Paradise—but—l can’t leave father.” t There sounded a heavy sigh. Both j women turned round to see the old, | gaunt man in the doorway, the tears I streaming down his cheeks as he held , forth his trembling hands as if in bene- I diction. “Go, Jeddy, go, angel —don’t stay for me—l'm not worth your care,” he said, pitifully. But Jeddy thought otherwise. Long after the splendid carriage had gone, she sat there holding the gray head against j her shoulder, soothing ami petting him j and lending a willing ear to his promises I of amendment. The second carriage brought a stylish ! young gentleman, with whom her friends had often coupled her name. He came with an offer of marriage, but Jeddy gave him the same soft but determined answer, “I couldn’t leave father,” and I he.-ten, went away, disconsolate, i The third carriage contained one whe i had always been a friend, also a young ; gentleman, who had lately returned from a foreign tour. He asked no questions and expressed no surprise, though the change he saw affected him painfully. But, like a tru< : friend, he resolved to aid both fathei i and daughter. To this purpose he followed the for- I mcr, and quietly tried to hinder him from the abuse of his appetite, and gradually gained his confidence. • Then he told how sadly the change it I his daughter had troubled him. “Change!” exclaimed old Joe, “how is she changed?” I ‘ls it possible you do not see that she is t r death's door?’’ —my child—my ’ange/« mt’.' What have I but her?” “You have God, and He will help yon to redeem yourself. If you do that, youi daughter will live, if you do not, she will die.” 1 hat night old Joe went home full o: doubts and fears. He watched his child sick at heart from the news he heard. “I can make her live—and I will!” h< said, resolutely, to himself. “I am noi an old man yet"—lifting his bowed head "with God's help I will be a new one!’ He went to the curb outside and broke his pocket-flask in a hundred pieces. Th< next day he came home sober ; tke next, he had found a place -a small one, it wat true, but in the old bank where he had once reigned master. Everybody saw the change. Old Joe had new clothes, ht was respectable to outward seeming. Once more he became a man among men. His knowledge of the business, his integ rity, gained him a better position. Day by day he took steps upward—dav by day the color and brightness came intc his daughter’s face anti her step grew light and her tones joyful. It seems like a miracle, but is not, that old Joe rides in his own carriage again He is Mr. Pollard again, cashier of th< bank, and a power among his fellows. Il was just trustingin God and God helping him as he helped himself. But the best of all is, his glorious daughter bysacrific ing herself, by her noble fortitude, byhei patient care, has won a place in his heart ami in the hearts of all who know her, prouder and more enduring than th< throne of a queen.— Denison, ii Youth's Companion. A Baby Adopted by a Bear. The Oxford (Idaho) Enterprise says that an eighteen-month-old baby of James Vaugn, of Gentile Valley, was playing around with its mother, who was engaged close by the dwelling in doing her washing. At last she missed the baby-, and a search for it proved unavail ing. Some of the neighbors discovered immense tracks of a bear, and followed the trail until dark. At daybreak it was taken up and followed into the bear range of the mountains, and about 10 o'clock a. m. they found the baby curled up in a bunch of weeds and grass in the bushes, sound asleep, with its little tat tered and torn dress thrown over its head while close beside the sleeping child was the warm bed of what must have been a very large bear, which had abandoned its captive on the approach of the men in search. With the exception of a slight scratch upon one foot, the child was un injured, though it had been carried several miles into the mountains over rough places and through brush. A. Ward’s Courtship. The following is Artemus Ward’s de scription of why he courted Betsy Jane: “There were many affectin' ties which made me hanker after Betsy Jane. Her father’s farm jined ourn; their cows and ourn squelched their thirst at the same spring; our mares both had stars on the forehead; the measles broke out in both families at nearly the same time; our parents (Betsy Jane’s and mine) slept regularly every Sunday in the same meetin’ house, and the neighbors used to observe: ‘How thick the Wards and the Peasleys air.’ It was a sublime sight in the spring of the year to see our several mothers (Betsy’s and mine) with their gowns pinned up, so that they couldn't sile ’em, effecktionately bilin 1 soap together and aboosin’ their neigh bors. ” We may never be called upon to beat arms, to plunge into flames, or to face a wild bull; but the same courage which would serve us in such emergencies we need as a daily companion, tc guard us from harm and wrong-doing and to in spire us with moral heroism to embrace the good. Virtues thus developed through courage become at length in stinctive, and require it no longer. A SONG OF TIME. How worn a theme fa that jf time , Then why do I begin to rhyme Upon It now I Because to night the air i« filled ’ With voices that will not be stilled— They will not ceaaa And always sing the saint efrain Of Time that ne'er will coine again, Of Time that fliea, Of all that Time sweeps in his flight. The voices sing to me to-night, Time cures all care. That is what I would fain believe, My heart therewith I do deceive, With faith in Time. Oh , voices singing, be you mute, You touch a chord on my heart’s lute But seldom played; Yet filling the air around With a sweet melancholy sound, A song of Time 1 Of time that was, of days so fair When all was young, and love was there— Long days ago I Be still ! be still ! that sad refrain ! I dare ot listen once again To that same song ! Maybe I hold those days to 3 high, And yield them far too oft a sigh, Those long days since ! Yet as they were the fairest yet Of all my days, then why forget That happy time 1 Though if it still should be my fate To live yet happier days, the date Of that sweet time. I’ll bury, then, within the grave Which holds all things forgotten, save The present time. Nor heed a voice which whispers low, “The sweetest song is that you know Of long ago.” So with the voices in the air I mingled mine, and, 10. was there A song of Time —London Society.
