The wild wor[d hastens on its way; The gray haired century nears its close Its sorrow deepens day by day; The summer blush forsakes the rose. But, darling, while your voice I hear, And while your dark-brown eyes I see, Sad months and sunless, seasons drear, Are all the same, all glad, to me. Despair can neve- reach me While your soft haud I hold; While your eyes love and teach me, I never shall grow old! They say that love forsakes the old; That passion palea an- Ihdes away; That even love's britht locks of gold Must lose their charm and change to gray But, darling, while Sour heart is mine, And while I feel that you are true, For me the skies viI1 ever shine With summer light and tenderest blue. Yes, let old age deride met I scorn his mocking tongue, Dear love with you .beside me, I am forever youngi "MAID-OF-ALL-WORK." Rachel Ramsay looked very pretty, indeed, as she .came down the narrow wooden staircase of the little browia farm-house, that afternoon, dressed In a white muslin dress, strewn all ovet with tiny pink rosebuds, and a fresh lace frill around her neck, tied with Ink ribbon, while her pretty feet were pair of boots, with pan, now and then pausing to bru away the round brigfit tears whi rolled down her cheeks. These young ladies evidently j tended to make her useful. She mig have known that they did, beforehan She could hear the soft sound of B Calhoun's guitar; the%weet, subdu tinkle of Alice's laughter; the de( monotonous under-current of gentl men's voices. and then she glanc down a uslIn dress ai bows o in began to thu that M e n an unfL advanta a If s e heard t rapid oalloquy whi transpire he two sisters their drawing-room when brst, All came up stairs, she would perhaps ha better comprehended the drift of thing "Good news!" Mis3 Calhoun 'h. cried, waving her scented pocket-han kercilef in the airr "I've got a girl the kitchen!" "No!" said Miss Bell, a fair-haire creani-complexioned damsel, with pal blue eyes and a perpetual smile. "R1achel Ramsay," nodded Alic "Come up here, in her best bib at tucker, to spend the day. Of course con1iscated her at once." "The bold, pushing thing!" said Bli with a dlsdainful gesture. "She's a deal too pretty to bring in the drawing-room for Har ' eon at sh on gettibg her into the kitchen," uh scolded Bell. "And a nice mess you've made of itl1" n.. "But how were we to tell that it was hi going to end so?" groaned poor Alice. d. "Well, Rachel," said Granby Ram. 311 say, when the girl came in, just as the lamups were lighted, "what sort of p, a day did you have?" e- "0, charming!" said ]Rachel, -"I 3d enjoyed myself more' than e%er' I did id before at the Tower. and I never went k out of the kitchen. T'hey had company, ir and I helped get dinner." ~1 "Humphli" gr%tited granny. "That's a queer way of entertalning visitors. h But p'raps that's city manners." n "Perhaps It is!" said Rachel, de e murely. e "Who was it came home with you?" asked granny, who was not quite deaf d or blind as yett "and left you at the garden gate?" "One of the other servants," said Rachel. "Well, I never!" said granny. e. "Where's all your pride, Rachel Ramsay?" "I never was prouder in all my life than I am to night!" said Rachel. I "Listen, grandma, for I have so much to tell you. Mr. Harold IIaroldson, of I 11 New York, walked home with me; and I've met him ever so many times before this .sumuer, at picnics and archery d parties, and such places, but I never knew that h for me.

Correct Dress and Expression of thi Geutlemen at a Wedding The fact is that at a wedding, so far as more dress is concerned, there Is no .distinction between usher, groom, or best man, each being clad essentially alike, although slight and immaterial variations are admissible. As a rule, the trousers should not be tod dark, neither should the cra r creamy silk being gon tied after the manne In -the morning, a knot that every m evening choker. It a.frock coat, or Princ are sometimes called, tl Is not fQrbidden, each, of g black. Similarity should rule, the whole party wearing gloves or not, or buttonhole bouquets or not, just as they may prefer, except that the groom may decide that lie and his best man ale*xe shall carry boutonnicres, in order to note their superior importance. If the t entire party should be made to stand I up* in a row, each animated by the same sentiment, thF re would be no iais C whatsoever of distinguishing a groom from an usher. The'whole distinction is found In the expression. The countenances of the ushers should be earnest but placid c neither marked by envy nor commisera- I tion, neither by exultation nor dissatis faction at their own secondary role. I Dignity, steadiness and courtesy go to I make the perfect usher. The best men, lie that seems so near and yet so far as regards matrimony, must on the whole resemble an usher, except that his. duties r-quire. evidence of greater a alertness and responsibility. But the groom-his expression is bound to vary c somewhat according to character and a C lot of other circumstances, but still it must fall within certain limits which v common sense, the universal ruler, t prescribes. He should not lonk too happy. If he does, the reaction caused by a dread of sorrows to come cannot fail to m:ake the audience t4Icomfort- e able.
