POETR Y. At Evening. Upoa the lulls the wind Is sharp and oold, The sweet |oung grssses wither on the world. And we, O Lord, bavs wandered from thy fold; But evening brings us bome. Among the mists we stumbled, and the rocks; Where the brown lichen white hs, and the fox Watch qi the stragglor from the soatter'd flocks; But evening brings us borne. The sharp thorns prick as, and nor lander foot Are out and bleeding, and the lambs repeat Their pltlfol oomplalnte— O, rest Is sweet, When evening brings us home. We have been wounded by the hunter's darts, Our eyes are very heavy, and our hoarte Search for thy coining— when the light doparts, At evening, bring us heme I The darkness gathers. Through,, the gloom no star Rises to guide us. We have wandered for, Without thy lamp we know not where we are— At evening bring us homo I The clouds are round us, and the snow-drifts thicken, O thou, dear Shepherd, loave us not to slckon In the waste night— our tardy footsteps quicken. At evening bring us homo ! —Selected. ■e ♦ • Three Seasons.

"It was a scandal/' tke neighbors said, "that Miss Delia should be obliged

To lake Duarders^ alter aiisnen ~Th £i> through; and heaven knows boarders didn't help a body to work out her salvation. And so much money in the family, too, taking it by and large. Wasn't her Uncle Ebon, over at Dover, well to do, and not a chick of his own to care for, except the boy he adopted, who was no credit to him ? It was odd, now, that a man with poor relations should take to a Btranger, when his own flesh and blood was needy ; but sometimes it did seem as though folks had more feeling for others than for their own kith and kin. Then there were cousins in $e city, forehanded and fashionable, who were never worth a row of pins to Delia ; and there was her great-uncle John's widow a-larkin' on the continent, a gambling at Baden-Ba-den, and trying the waters of every mineral spring in the kingdoms, for no disease under the sun hut old age. She'd been known to say that her own folks were too rich already, and probably she would endow some hospital with her property." Plainly, wealthy relatives wero of no value to Miss Delia. To be sure, she had never seen her aunt since a child, when hor uncle John had brought her into their simple life for a month's visit, with her French maid and dresses, her jewelry and fallals, which won the heart of her little namesake. Since then her Uncle John's widow had boen a sort of gilded creation, always young and always beautiful ; for, though Delia had received little gifts from time to time across the sens for the last fifteen years, she had neither slen or heard anything of the being who had inspired her imagination, and was quite uncertain if such ft peraon as Mrs. John Rogeraon was in the lnnd of the living. Dead or alive, she seemed to have made no material difference in Delia's humdrum life. After having nursed her father through it long illness, Delia found that ! he had left a heavy mortgage on the 1 homestead, and her mother and herself on the highroad to the poor-house, unless they should bestir themselves. As her mother was already bed ridden, the stirring naturally fell upon Delia, and 1 she advertise chfor summer boarders j flOOD BOARD IN THE COUNTRY " *hy the river-side, at seventy week. Large chambers, br<flT , fine views, berries, and new mYltc. One mile from tho station. Address Delia RooBaao.v, Uroftsborough, Maine. * "Cheap enough !" commented an elderly lady who happened upon it. 1 "Delia Rogeraon. An old maid, I sup poee, obliged to look out for herself. I have a good mind to try her broad piai

iaa and new roiljf. If I don't like it, there will be no harm done." And so Delia's first boarder arrived— an old lady, with false front hair, brown, wrinkled skin, faded eyea, a black alpaca gown, and a large trunk, Delia made her as weloome as if she had been a duchess ; lighted a wood Are in Mrs. Clement's room, as the night was damp, and bronght out her daintiest cup and naucor, with the fadeless old roses wreath ing 4hein. "Wonderfblly kind/1 reflected Mrs. Clement, as she combed out her wisp of gray hair and confided the false front to a lox. "Wonderful kindness for Beven do|lars a week. She'll learn better. Human nature does not change with latitudes. She'll find it doesn't pay to qensider the comfort of a poverty -stricken old creature." But in spite of her worldy wisdom, Mrs. Clement was forced to oonfesa that Delia had begun as she meant to hold out, though the other boarders came to demand her attention, and multiply her cares. The fret and jar of conflicting temperaments under her roof was a new experiment to Delia. When Miss G resome complained of the mosquitoes, with an air as if Miss Rogerson was responsible for their creation ; of the flies as if Tfley wore new acquaintances ; of want of appetite, as though Delia had agreed to supply it, along with the berries and new milk ; of the weathor, as if she had pledged herself there should be no sudden changes, to annoy hor boarders ; of tho shabby house and antiquated furniture, "too old for comfort, and not old enough for fashion"— then Delia doubted if taking boarders 4as her mission. "What makes you keep us, my dear?" asked Mrs. Clement, after a day when everything and everybody had seemed to go wrong. "Why didn't you ever marry ? You had a lover, 1 dare say ?" "Yes ; a long, long time ago." "Tell me about him — it." "There isn't much to tell. He asked mo to marry him. lie was going to

father, you know (they were both feeblo), and he couldn't stay here. That was all/' "And you — you — " "Now all meu besides are to mo like shadows." "And have you never heard of him since ?" " Yes. He wrote ; hut where was the use ? It could never come to anything. It was better for him to forget me and marry. I was a millstone about his neck. I didn't answer his last letter." "But suppoae he should return some day, would you marry him?" "I dare say," laughod Delia, gently, ns if the idea was familiar, "let the neighbors" laugh ever so wisely. I've thpwght of it sometimes, sitting alone, when the work Was barren and commonplace. One must have recreation of some kind, you know. Everybody requires a littlo romance, a little poetry, to flavor everyday thinking and doing. I'm afraid you'll think me a silly old maid, Mrs. Clement." "No. Tho heart never grows old. The skin shrivels, the color departs, the eyes fade, the features grow pinched ; hut the soul is heir of eternal youth— is as beautiful at fourscore as at 'sweet and twenty.' Time makes amends for the ravages of the body by developing the spirit. You didn't tell me your lover's name. Perhaps you'd rather not." "His name was Stephen Langdon. Sometimes Captain Seymour runs against him in Melbourne, and brings me word how he looks and what he is doing ; though I never, never ask, and Stephen never asks for me, that I can hear." Delia's summer boarders were not a success, to be sure. If they took no money out of her pocket, they put none in. She was obliged to eke out her support with copying for Lawyer Dun more and embroidering for Mrs. Judge Dorr. One by one tho hoarders dropped away, like the antumn leaves ; all but old Mrs. Clement. "I believe I'll stay on," she said. "L am getting too. old to move often. Tor hap* you take winter boarders at reduced rate*. Eh ?" "Do you think my terms W "Rv no mesn« * » *«i ; 1 know. stay at your own price. I can't spare you." She had grown such a fondness for the old lady thnt to refuse her at her terms would have seemed like turning her own mother out of doors ; besides, one mouth would not aigniiy. But she found it hard to make both ends meet, and ofteh went hungry to bed. that her

mother and Mrs. Clement might enjoy enough, without there eppearing to be "just a pattern." At Christmas, however, came a ray of sunshine , for Delia, in the shape of e hundred -dollar bill from an unknown friend. "It cen't be for me," she cried. "It's directed to Delia Rogerson," said her mother ) and there's nobody else of that name, now your aunt Delia's dead. 41 We are not sure she's dead," object ed Delia. "Horrors I Don't you know whether your own aunt's dead or alive?" asked Mrs. Clement, in a shocked tone. "It isn't our fault. She is rich and lives abroad. I was named after her. I used to look in the glass and try to believe I'd inherited her beauty with the name, though she was only our great uncle's wife." "She ought to be doing something for you." "How can she, if she's dead ! I don't blame her, anyway. Her money is her own, to use according to her pleasure. Uncle John made it himself and gave it to her." "But if she should come back to you, having run through with it, you'd divide your last crust with her, I'll be bound." "I suppose I should," said Delia. The winter wore away, as winters will, and the miracles of spring began in fields and wayside ; and Delia's boarders returned with the June roees, and dropped away again with falling leaves, and still Mrs. Clement staid on and on. Just now she had been some weeks in arrears with hor reduced board. No money had been forthcoming for some timo, and she was growing more feeble daily, needed tho luxuries of an invalid and the attendance of a nurse, both of which Delia bestowed u)>on her, without taking a thought of tho morrow. "I must hear from my man of business to-morrow, Delia. I'm knee-deep in dqht tfl " *h£ began, one night.

iwu'v mention It 1" crmi-tFnw, ■ ratjier never see a cent of it than to have you take it to heart. You're welcome to stay and share pot-luck with us, you're such company for mother and mo." "Thank you, my dear. I have grown as fond of you as if you were my own flesh and blood. There, turn down the light, please. Draw tho curtain, dear, and put another stick on the fire, pleAse. It grows chilly, doesn't it? You might kiss me just once, if you wouldn't mind. It's a hundred years or so since any one kissed me." And the next morning, when Delia carried up Mrs. Clement's breakfast, her l»oardcr lay cold and still upon the pit- ' lows. The first shock over, Delia wrote directly to the lawyer of whom she hid i heard Mrs. Clement speak as having charge of her affairs, hogging him to notify that lady's relatives, if she had any. In revly, Mr, Willis wrote : 4'Thc Into Mrs. Clement appears to have no liesr relative*.

In the meantime 1 enclose you a copy of her last will and toKtamenL to peruse at your leisure." "What interest does he think I take in Mrs. Clement's will/' thought Delia ; but read nevertheless : "tiring of sound inlnd, tills 18th day of June. 1*~.

Delia did not open her house to board- | or* the next season.

"But I haeven't accepted him — because—" ^ "Because you will marry your own love, like the lass in the song, Delia ?" In Crofuborough, people are not yet tired of telling how a woman made money by taking boarders. — Independent. !U- Timed Effect of Music Upon an Irishman . From the St. James Gazette. Music is generally credited good with the power of exercising a soothing effect on the nerves of those who listen to its strain ; when ill-selected, however, or played inopportunely its effect is anything but soothing, and indeed it is frequently used as an instrument of annoyance and for the purpose of exciting irritation by party zealots. Orangemen, for instance, are occasionally found to play such tunes as are offensive to Roman Catholics, and many a bead has been broken which would have remained whole but for this unfortunate tendency. The case was well put by a a man named Burke, who jjrith two

\ sftiueis wr* ennrrra other fir, *r the Glasgow Justice of Peace Court, with throwing stones at a procession of Orangemen passing through Muirhead. Burke asked permission to make a statement, and this being accorded to him, he Addressed the bench, saying that "the way them Orange bands played party tunes was a disgrace to the world, and if there was not a law to put them down one should be made. He and his mates were standing at the roadsids when the procession came along on the 12th of July, and just to spite the people of the place the band struck up a party air. He didn't care much for 'Boyne Water,' and he couldn't say he was much disturbed by 'Protestant Boys' ; but when they came to strike 4 Kick the Tope,' be jabbers he couldn't hold himself and he went for them." In consideration of the provocation the prisoners had received the Justices let thsm off with a fine of only 10*. 6d. each. « ♦ > Why He Didn't Take It. Gen.

After much groping a disreputable looking garment of sea-green color was produced with a grand flourish and the remark : "Here ish de goat."
