THE EB) OF ,OVl E.
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!

AN OLD LOVE STORY.

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. The elder lady
and she was very old, but as brisk
as a bee-sat at a large w.riting
table and turned over numerous
papers by the light of the wax
candles tbat stood near in beavy
silver andlesticks. The younger"
lady,'and she was gently approach
in fifty;was busily'engaged with
a long roll of flantnel, from which
she was cutting petticoats for tbe
poor. Any *intei-'s evening for
twenty - years past the w-idowed
rs. Crosby and Miss Dorothy
Grimtb!o," br ni.ece; ighbt hv
been found similarly employed,
the aunt ruling .her large estatei
with 'a firm hand fini that wr'it-i

'Scand'alous! That f'eUow Smith

'Only a fortnight t ill club d ay ;
wnder if th~ese petticoats will be

Miss Dorothy anxiously.
N&oid them up..to the school
house ; they can be made there.'
*'They.i-e naking ngw s.urplices
for the iTho r cai't do both.'
'Bahi SarplJiosi indeed i Fetti

sure that poor, miserable rector is

woman generally looks after.'

At thiumpr~ment the door was

antiounced t beiector of the parish.

mild-looking matn, upwarid of fif ty.

always uncertain, until he had
ben gre'ted, whether his power

tended to soatp at him or to pat

'Excuse me,' she said, rising in t
some, confusion. 'I forgot to leave ]

I will return nimediately.'
Tbo'* door had just closed when
the rector imurmllured audibly
'Admirable woman ! Invaluable!'
'Eli ?' said A unt Crosby, sharp
ly turning round and the light from -
the tire made her spectacles gleam t
as she sat with raised pen ; 'did you
speak ?' t
'No-I, ah-mer' IV was think- f

thy would be to you-if-ab, she

'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 ;

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, .
'Mrs. Crosby, I have long wish
ed-'
'Why can't he keep still?' mut- A
teredtho old ladvsotto voce.
'I sa v i have ione w ished'--and
be had attained the fixed higb:
key in which he usually intoned
the service, and .te sound of his
own voice thus pitghed gave him
ouage---to express the admira
ti, keel for your niece.' 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

>resence of the owner of the mai
ion. Turning to vent her wrat

There was an ominous silenci

Woman Who Thought She Had .Tu

hy had to pay to get in, he'd y

ived on a farm then, and ever
aturday night he'd come tearm
ii before supper, grab afi
u1 of nut-cakes, and goC
inaw in' 'em, and that's the la
'd see of him till morningr. An
-.er oLhm- night he'd roll at
ie tumble in his sleep, and holler,
- 'Put none but Americans on guard
h -Greorge WVashigton ;' and on
3- rainy days he'd go out into the
e corn barn and jab at a picture of
the Pope with an old baguet that
was there. 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.
P'raps you know what them be,
but I don't 'cept they think
s they're the same kind of critters
n that built Solomon's 'em'')ple, and
3. took care of his concubines ; and
o of all the darned nonsenlse and
gab about worshipful ma-Is and
squares and compasses and sich,
, that we had in the house for the
-' next six months, you never see the
s beat. . And he's never outgrowed
it nuther. What do you think of
a man. Squire, that'll dress hisself
e in a white apron, 'bout big enough
d for a monkey's bib, and go march
e ing up and down, and making mo
tions and talking the foolishest
e lingo at a picture of George Wash
.' ington in a green jacket, and a
e truss on his stomach ? Ain't he a
lounytick ? Well, that's my Sam,
, an' I've stood it as long as I'm
goin' to.
p 'The next lnge the fool made
.was into the Ddd Folkc ws. 1
a> made it warm for him when be
came home and told me he'd jined
- them ; but he kinder pacified me
by telling me that they had a sort
of branch show that took in wc
meo, and he'd get me in as soon
as he found out how to do it.
Well, -ne night he come home and
3t said I'd been proposed, and some
body had biack-balled mc. Did it
hisself, of course. Didn't want
me round knowing to his goings
,-.n. Of course he didn't, and I told
him so.
'Then he jined the bonis of Mal

about it, but sneaked off one
night, pretendin' he'd got. to met
-up with a sick Odd Follow ;and
di'd never found it out, only ho

L
LIGHT IN THE HOME.
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. How
blessed to knowv that both grace t
on~ Lnt c-ane by Jesus Christ. t
