LIFE LEAVES.
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
