'The time is like an old time face That gleams across some graasy place- The old time face-an old time chum Whe risos from the grave to come And luze me back slong the ways Of time's all golden yesterdays. Bweet day | to thus remind me of The truant boy I used to love- To set, once more, his finger tips Agatust the blossoms of his lips, And pips for me the signal known By none but ho and I alome ! H. I ses across the schoolroom fisor The shadow of the open deor, Le Ard dancing dust and sunshing bloat Slanting the way the morning went, And beckoning my thoughts afar Where reeds and running waters aro; Where amber colored bayous glass The hal drowned weeds and wisps of grass ; Where sprawling frogs, in loveless key, Hang on and on inceseantly. Against the green weod's dim expanse The cat tail tilts its tufted lance, While on its tip -one might declare The white '\snakefeeder\ blossomed there ! U IH. I catch my breath, as children de In woodland swings, when life is new, And all the blood is warm- as wine And tingles with a tang divine. - My soul soars up the atmosphere Ard sings aloud where God can hear. And all my being leans intent To mark his smiligzg wonderment. O gracioue dream and gracious time, And gracious theme and gracious ryhme- When buds of spring begin to blow In blossoms that we used to know- And lure us back along the ways Of time's all golden yesterdays ! B -Jaxuks IIS WIFE. _- * The sun had just set when I arrived at Somerset station. A whole mile to walk in the pleasantest part of the pleasantest coun- try in the world ! Soft hills, bathed in the sun's parting glow, dotted the landacape on every side, and over all smiled the tender, brooding sky, like a fond mother caressing her children. There was no necessity for haste. Grandmother knew I was intending to come some time that week, but as no day had been fixed upon, I could saunter along as I pleased, without fear of keeping the old lady's tea-table waiving. Dear Grandmother Ellis ! what keen enjoyment the anticipation of a gummer all alove with ray best friend had afforded me-and now I was almost there. There was the house,o0!d, brown, and many-roomed, and most of the rooms on the ground floor, @randaother herself had been the architect of the estab- Hishment. \ \I told your grandfather,\ said sho, on one cccasion, ''that n> man was going to plan a house for me to live in. * What does a man know, I should lik@®to be told, of a weman's needs ? If he'd built it according to his notion, there would have been three er four flights of stairs, and then with a baby on each fim and two or three hanging to my petticoats, I might bave spent most of my time on 'etm-but & knew better !\ As events pjoved, grandmother was cor- rect in her prediction. The children came along in just about the manner indivated. and Mrs. Stephen Ellis had her bangs fuli for many a long year, Now she had eutered into her reward and her rest ; yes, even here-for the faithful do sometimes catch a glimpse of the jov that shall be theirs when this corruptible shall have put on incorrup tion. At this time in the evening grind waother always sat at the west window iu the sitting-room. _ An enthusiastic lover -t pature was this old lady of seventy years. Yes, thete she was! I caught a glimpse of ber white sleeve on the wingdow-sill. I would walk softly in and surprise her,. How ex- quisite the taste of this presiding genius ' Helintrope, mignonette and white roses ! C€randmother's rose bushes were the envy of the whole neighborhood. Shy little vio- lets bordered the graveled walk leading to the low door-stone, and over beyond, in grandmother's pet field, millions of yellow- hearted daises nodded and beckoned to the soft evening breeze. Avoiding the treach- erous pebbles, I took the path leading to th» barn, and then cut quietly actoss to the frent door, stealing with cat-like tread through the long, narrow» hallway, and en- tering the sitting room on the tips of my Boes. Wonderful victory! - Twice before had I tried this very dodge and each time had the old turkey-gobbler betrayed me! Where was he on this occasion ? and why, when I really needed his services, did he not prove roy friend ? Softly, softly, only & step or two more. The sensation of the next min- ute wasn't anything to speak of ; I mean by that it was indescribable. The back of grandmother's big arm chair quite hid the occupant and, nothing doubting, I made with great dexterity for grandmother's eyes. 4 found the eyes, but they didn't bolong to grandmother. I knew that before their gaucy owner had imprisoned my hands. ** Who is it?\ said he, like one first awakening from a sleep. The figgers are too little for Madge, and too long to belong to Sarah !\ I'founrd my tongue then. I would not wrench my hands away. That would be rederess ; for he evidently: supposed them the property of some intimate friend. '* Please release me,\ I said .; and then as be rose quickly-apparently surprised by the 'voice of a stranger-1I added, rather \Audicrously I suppose, for the tall fellow in the shirt sleeves laughed right heartily, \I thought you were grandmother ?\ ** Never was taken for an old lady be- fore,\ he answered with provoking noncha- lance ; and then added, as hehastily threw er a dressing-gown, \ what do you think about it now FP **I think that I should like to knox where grandmother is, and--\ tea' And what I am doing here 1\ he inter- rupted, with another laugh, -* Your grand- mether has gone to spend the evening with a sick neighbor.
