A love that wanes is an ehbing tide, Which slowly, inch by inch, and scarce per ceived, With many a wave that makes brave sure to rise, Falls from the shore. No sudden treason turns The long-accustomed loyalty tohate, But years bring weariness for sweet content, And fondness, daily sustenance of love, Which use should make a tribute easier paid, First grudged, and then withholden, starves the heart; And though compassion, or remorseful thoughts Of happy days departed, bring again The aucient tenderness in seeming flood, Not less it ebbs and ebbs till nll is bare. 0 happy shore, the flowing tide shall brim Thy empty pools, and spread dull tangled weeds In streamers many colored as the lights Whic!h flash in norther heavens anl revive The fainting blosonis of the rocks; but ihou, 0 heart, whence love hath ebbed, art ever bare! 0 AN OLD LOVE STORY. -0 In an ancient Northumberlan'.i mansion tvo ladies sit within easy distance of a 6e. the len.gh and dept-h and fierceness of which woaldf- have astonished a London householder.

'Bless. me !' responded Aun t ( Crosby, in a toife of slight eon tempt ; 'no need to trouble about t that till she talks of going.' P 'No, no; very true,. madam. n You have-such an amusing way L of putting things !' and he ven tured on a little nervous laugh, d from which he sobered down supernaturally next minute. 'Per- a haps-ah-she. might marry ?' . t 'What is the idiot -driving at ?' b said Mrs. Crosby to herself, irate at so many interruptions. 'Mar ry, did you say ?' she inquired a aloud. 'Well, about five-and-twen- t ty years ago Dolly was a well looking young woman: Still, she ( might marry now, and so might I for the matter - of that, if any one asked me! Take a 5 look at the Times, Mr. Preedy ; they'll bring i.u the tray directly ;' and the peiscratched on again. V 'What a cruel old, woman !' said t the rector to himself 'She won't I let me speak ! I'll try her again, thEntg},:see if I dou't.' And haying manfully turned the Times ibside oit, he.gave a pre pa'r:atory-c ugh, .

I 'Well, she's an excellen tcrea tre, Mr. Freedy,' agreed aunt! Crosby - andl in diespair at his per tinacity, she put dlown her pen, pinched her glasses tighter on her hgh nose, and turned her keen 1ce full round to await the fur ter remarks of her visitor. 'What .a wife she would make, Ms. Crosby !' cried the cheered Eetor enthusiastieglly. A glimmeripg of truth lit up the old lady's ind, and she replied. 'You would be a better judge of that than me, Mr. Preedy. Did you want to marry her ?' '0, Mrs, urosby, you are too good. May I hope ?' . With an odd smile on her puck- ~ ered old face, Aunt Crosby said : 'Hadn't you better ask her ? I'll go out se see comels itb. And suiting the action to the word the mistress of the mansion left the room as her niece entered. That night, about half-past twelve. two boups after pver'y one had 'etired, Mrs. Crosby heard a footstep on the giavel walk be low her window. She got up at on~ lit her candle and, throwing on a warm but tadea dressing gowvn, shie marched along the pas sge gnd down stairs to the room where reposed the butler and the late chest. The sound of the old man's snoring showed he was un dist'bcd. gis mistress rapped harply. 'Get up, Barnes, there's a man walking under my window.' Quickly old Barnes obeyed, and then he called a young footman to assist hiim, and the two armed thmselve;; with pokers and sal lied forth from the bay window of the dining-room; while Mlrs. Cros by, candle in hand, stood just with ini it.'- Atter prowling abo ut for a few minutes, 'te men were about to come in whe the younguer. of the two spied a shadow close up to the gray wall of~ the house. ie sprang farward, shouting. 'I'erot him !' And Mrs. Crosby, in a voice wrthy' of Mrs. Siddons, cried from the window.. 'Briog him here!' Then the butler lending his as aLLt-a) a. st-agling. expostula ion man was dragged into ti >resence of the owner of the mai ion. Turning to vent her wrat pon him she exclaimed in amaz sent, and Barnes cried in tl. ame breath. 'It's Mr. Preedy !' 'Let me explain-Mrs. Crosh -1 entreat you !' gasped the re, or.

I ought to put my y foot down then ; but he lboled me so with his lies about the Pope's coming to make all Yankee girls marry Irishmen, and to eat up all - the babies that warn't born with a cross on their foreheads, and I o let him go on, and encouraged him in it. t 'Then he jined the Masons.

The eminent English writer, Dr. Richardson, has written an article called 'Health at Home,'u which is replete with wisdom. A most important point, and one on which he dwells, is the fact C that s. many people are afraid of, the light. 'In a dark and gloomy t house you never can see the dirt that pollutes it. Dirt accumulates on dirt, and the mind soon learns to apologize for this condition be cause the gloom cotceals it.' Ac cordingly, when a house is dark c and dingy, the air becomes im pure, not only on account of the It absence of light, but from the im purities whbich are. accumulated. Now, as Dr. Richardson cleverly puts it, we place flowers in ourC windows that they may have thbc ight. If this be tbe case, why should we deprive ourselves of t he~ sunshine and expect to gain healtht and vigor? Light, and:plenty of it, is not only a purinler of things inaningate, but .it absolutely stim ulates our brains. It is in regard to sick rooms that this excellent authority is particularly impres sive. It used to be the habit of C physicians in old times to sedu lously darken the rooms, and this practice continues to some cxt'ent even to-day. In certain veryl acuto cases of nervous diseases, where light, the leas.t ray of it, disturbs in over exciting the vis ual organs, this darkening of the r\oml may be p)er(.tted, but or dinarily to keep thbe light out of the room is to deprive the patien t ofone of the vital forces. Children or old people condemned to live in dark- e ness are pale and wan. oe;aetly like tdoso plants which, deprived[ of light, grow white. Darkness in the daytime undoubtedly makes the blood flow less strongly and checks the beating of the heart, and these conditions are prtecisQ:y stuch as bring constitu - tional suffering and disease. Tibe suppression of the light of day' actually increases those conta gious maladies which feed ou un clean liness. Dr. Richardsonm states: 2 once found by experiment that' certain organic poisons, 'malog~ous to the poisons which propagaa these diseases~ ni r'edered in- ( nlocuous by exposure to light.' 1 'iruth discovers the evil ; grace 1: p)uts it away. Truth unfolds what e man is ; grace unfolds what God t is. T~.ruth brings out into the t light the hidden workings of evilr in the heart of man ; grace brings It out, in contrast, the rich and ex- t b'ustless sp rings of grace in the c i ;art of God :both are needful. Trruth for the maintenance of a God's glory; grace for the estabL- 0 lishment of our blessing. Truth bL for the vindication of the divine character and .attribute ; gracev for the perfect repose of the sin- c ner's heart and conscience.
