And before the mists are gone,
All the hills seem bright with loses,
Just a, little farther on 1
Roses, veil as wings of starlings,
, Apd with diamond dew-drops wet ;
‘•Wait,”says Patience, “wait, my darlings,
Wait a little longer yet 1”
So, with eager, upturned faces,
Wait the children for the hours
That shall bring them to the places j
„ pi .lie tantalizing, tipw^rs.
Wild with wonder, swoet with guises,
Vexed with only fleeting fears;
So the broader day advances,
And the twilight disappears,
Hands begin to .clutch at posies,

Not a thought of rainy weather,
Nor of thorns, to sting and grieve,
Gather, gather, gather, gather,
All the care is what to leave !
Nopn t9.yfter.noca advances,
Rosy red grows russet brown ;
Sad eyes turn to backward glances,
So the sun of youth goes down.

Many a false heart has been gathered,
Many a true one left behind.

ol,lcc Secrets.
The Singleton S. YV.) Argus
prints the following reply to an inquiry
.ajsftsO, rhft author of an artieh iq that
paper :
A properly conducted printiug office
p, as w ,u;h a secret as a Masonic lodge.
Tde printers are..not under,.cum or
secrecy, but always fool themselves as
truly in honor bound to keep office
seersts as though triple oathed. Any
employe in a printing who willingly !
disregarded,, ih:?, H’-'e in. tR
printing ‘office secrets, would ooj, chly,
be scorned by bis brethren of the
craft, but would lose bis posif,!op at
pnee, We make tins statement be
cause it sometimes happens that a
communication appears
under an assumed .signaturev which cX
cites comment, and various parties try
to lind out who is the author. Let all
be saved the trouble of questioning the
employes of the printing office. They
are “know-nothings’* on such points as
these. On such matters they have,
eyes and ears, but no mouth; and if
any fail to observe .Jthip,rule, let them
be rut down as dishonorable
of the craft, It is the same in job
printing! If anything is to be printed
and kept secret, let proper notice be
given of the .desire for secrecy, and
you might as we11,,/iqestion the SphiQX
as one of the printers.
