Itf- beauty and its fragrance ffne -Ah me! how like the blasted hupe. My heart once fondly built upon. I hold it within my hand. Its petals withered nearly Muck I gaze in silt-nee on it, and Lfjii- banished thuu'hts rushing back Come ruhing back like ocean's avee. That ao had from vit Come ru-hing bark, as from their graves.

Come hopes and friends that once I knew. Come back like phant im rajs. To mork me when as now abme; The mem'ru of mire hapoy And hopes once sweet, now dead and Iieide it, Iiound with ribbon blue. tAs were the lovely maiden's ejes i To typify her love was true A of wither c. dar I nn- of the who sent.

And of the message that they brought. That tiled my heart with And o'er it rosy wrou'h'. The cedar said. live it one I of thee, and thm will ever live;" Th other said. "1 am thine own With all the love my heart rati give." "The language that they fche said, ''Was from her heart," 'tutus aweet and plain.

Hut cow, like the-ie, her love is dead. And, like thene. ne'er can live again. Their pow is gone, my heart to cheer. For they have perished my grasp; Although the hand that gave wa- dear.

And oft I've felt its loving clanp. Love then illumed her soft blu- eyes. And sweetness gave to her bright liut, like the breeze that whittles by. It linu't-rt-d but a little while. And, hw we kiss "the loved and lout," Whene'er the wpirit takes its flight.

And then, though anguish it may r.irit. We bury them away from siyht. So now, these harbingers of blis Of promised bliss, but never found -I tenderly and sadly kiss. And hide them in the eoid. cold ground.

LOVE STRONGER THAN DEATH-' "Christmas comt-s hut once a year." And once a the old hull is tilled from baseiru'ijt to garret. Once a year old scores nrc wiped out, old wounds hfftled, Lrotht-Ms Leconie boys one- aain, and the battle of life, with all its inevitable shortcomings, is forgotten. The hearth round which we clustered at a mother's knee is altar upon which every worldly mistake is sacrificed; and if we miss some dear faces from the gathorimr, we feel that, even on earth, we have had a foretaste of the eternal home to which we are hastening. y0 it is that, year by year the old house stretches its sides; and the church round which our forefathers sleep, finds us kneeling even to the third and fourth generation. Kilt, though we miss a face sometimes, we also often welcome a new one.

And at the Christmas time of which I am going to write, a brother, after twenty years of exile, had come back to us, bringing with him his only child. Iua was a half Spun-' iard, and the prettiest Lrirl I ever saw; her uncommon beauty, for she was utterly unlike any of our girls, and her -jiiaint ways took our hearts by storm at once, ami completely subdued that of Mark Amberly. Now, although Mark was not, strictly speaking, a relation, he was a sister's step-son, and admittd first for her sake, was speedily loved for his own. A soldier, and the son of a soldier, Mark had won honors, which in out-of-the-world county, established him a hero at once, and 1 verily believe the dear lad was half iL-hauied of his V. so deep and earnest was the worship with which we favored it.

Mark was always at Ina's side; so we all saw how it would be, and the love making gave a new charm to the gathering. Christmas eve came; the church had been decorated, tlie "guisers" feasted the Christmas tree dismantled, and, tired of danciuir "Sir It g'T," we were all grouped about in the dinintr room waiting for midnight, when, according to an old custom, the "devil's knell" was tolled at the church, and the Squire dispensed cakes ami mulled nle to all those who came to wish him and his a merry Christmas. My brother stood upon the hearth watch in hand; presently the timekeeper wae thrust into his pocket aud he crossed the room. There was a general hush; laughing faces grew grave. Lips quivered and eves filled, for in the silence, memory woke tip, and the ghosts of the past came trooping by, some laughing, some weeping, until it was hard to know whether old Christmas was a time for mirth or sadness.

"Clang! clang! clang!" came the bells, and a hundred voices snott; the trusty air ringing the old carol: rest you merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay; Remember, Christ, our Haviour, was born on day," The children crowded to the bay window, and turning to another I found already occupied Mark and Ina stood there; he was whispering in her ear, and half hid bv a shawl, I saw his arm around her. As I sat bv my bed-room fire an hour later, a light tap at the door awoke me from my dreaming. Ina cirne in, her long light hair floating in golden ripples over a blue dressing gown. "May I come and warm myself, aunty she said; "the fire has gone out in my room, and I am so cold." She gave a pretty little shiver, as if to verify the assertion, though the warm face she pressed to mine rather contradicted her words, Then nestling down on the hearth nig, she clasped htr ban. Is round her knees.

Presently she said, but without turning round, "you like Mark Amlerly, auntv," I acquiesed, and she went on: "So do and isn't it funny, ho says he likes me, and Then suddenly she was kneeling by me and under a cloud of hair, and amid a shower of kisses, I was listening to her secret, how Mark had asked her to be his wife, but how he had first settled it all with his father and hers; that he was to go to India until he got his promotion, when he might leave the aniiv and mar- rv her. Next day the party broke np. Some to their own homes to receive guests, some to join their parties. Mark went to India in Februarv; and during the year, although heard constantly or from Ina, I did not meet her. bo that when Christmas came again, and I saw her at the Hall, I was struck with an alteration; what I could hardly tell.

She had grown handsomer. Evervone saw and said that, and yet no one hinted at other changes. Yet, from the moment she came up to me and looKed at me with her great, gray, wistful eyes, my heart chilled, and a fear I could not define i came over me. Nor was mv anxietv lessened when, as I we were talking of Mark. Ina began to I cry passionately and rushed out of the i room.

I here was something wrong; and missing her that evening from the draw- ing room, I went to look for her. Open- i ingthe morning room door I saw Ina. She was sitting at the window but not I alone; a man was btside her bending i fondly over her. There was no light save i that of tne moon, so I did not recognize him; nor aia I tarrv to make the at tempt; to tell the truth, I was indignant wuu uer; auu closing me uoor with a bang, I marched off to the drawing-room. People were seated here, there and everywhere, so I could not make out who it was with Ina.

though I tried hard that night and the next day to discover who had made my pet so miserable. We were all busy that day, Ina as hard at work as any of us; when midnight came, with its bell ringing and carel singing, I missed her and with a feeling I conld neither withstand nor explain, I went to the little room. There she was. This time the window was open, and the man, for he was there too, was standing bv her, his arm rouDd her. I heard her mur- mer something in a sobbing voice and rsl.v l.Vi.

nay, in the very room itself. I as the bias: past over me; I ftlt the cold spray dashing in my face, an 1 grasp-j ed the chair as I tried to shrink to cover my and hide my eyes in the pillow, but in vain. I bad iiochuiee tmt to look myst-Ji, where a nhip luy unon the stnrmv 'ssing I saw the spars wash ed overboard. I saw men strugling in the T-itiless waves; the faces and streaming hair of women, and the white face of a little child. Thru the darkness became so intense that only when the lightning lias he 1 could I distinguish the wreck although the thunder of the tempest was curdling my blood.

Suddenly the winds and waters ceased their war, and there came a calm so deep that I heard ever throb of my heart, and as I sat wondering what was coming a gentle wind rustled by me, a hand touched my face, and Mark Aniberly's voice cried, ''Comfort, Iua." After that 1 seemed to faint; for when I recovered consciousness the tire aud candles were out, and the dull gray morning was shining into the room. Gradually I began to collect mv thoughts aud as I undressed and crept into bed a feeling of horror settled down upon me. 1 had never been a supernatural, and now tried to convince myself thiit I had been dreaming. I was de- termined to treat it is a dream, and laughing at my folly, persistently kept down my fears, leaving net day with- out saying a word to Iua. Our parting was a cld one, for my heart was full, and I knew that the slightest demonstration on my part would overturn my self-con trol, uud give my resolutions to the winds, etc.

With a muttered "You'll write, of course," we parted. A fortnight later 1 saw Mark's promotion in the and the following post brought me a let ter from Iua. "Mark." she said, "had left India, coming home round the cape to snake otT the effects of a slight attack of fever. The letter from my hand. I saw it all now; and the cold sweat stood upon my forehead, as I seemed auaiu to hear the sad voice crying'Comforf, Ia-i." Mark was drowned.

15y some mysterious power, I had seen the wreck; and love, stronger than death, had brought the dying man with his message of love. His last thought had been of Ina, and Ina, what of her? What Would she feel when she knew that at the very time she was false to him was in the jaws of death and such a death! I was wretched. I could not write. I dare not see her. I west away by myself wh.Te none of my people conld get at me, and compel me to tell fas I felt I must jmy terrible secret.

Weeks passed I grew ill with anxiety, and at last went to Loudon toconsuit the shipping agents, hoping against hope. They told me that the ship was due the end of the month, but there having been rough weather she might be delayed. So leaving orders to telegraph the first intelliueace, I went back to the village where I had pitched my tent. A month overdue now, ana people at the oiliee getting anxious," so wrote my sister, and I put her letter away and still waited. "Two months overdue, and hope dying, Ina is in a strnngo way, and keeps talking of yon.

May she come?" wrote my brother, Ina's lather, and before I could answer "yes" or "no," Ina came. She rushed into my room one afternoon just at sunset, and stood before me crying: "What has happened, aunty? Why will you not tell me? He has come twice and bid me go to you for comfort. What is it "Poor child," I said "what can I do?" "Then why did he tell me to come? Why look at me as you did at the hall, nearly driving me I told her and was frightened, for she sprang from herknees like a mad woman, and then, fell sighing and shivering to the floor. "It was Mark, aunty. I felt him near me, and von onlv.

saw him. I was sure something had happened, though I never dare sav so; and he always told me to come to you for comfort." Lying in my arms, Ina listened to my version of the story of the wreck, which time, alas! proved only to be too true; for when a year had passed, a sailor came to the agents and reported himself as the sole survivor of the Halberd crew. The gale that wrecked bad come on upjn the morning of the I'ld or and she foundered at midnight on Christmas Eve. EXPOSITION PREMIUM AV7ARD3. In cases where it i not stated, the premium is Rm! fine.

The way to make a man temperate is to kill the desire for those dreadful artificial stimulants that carry so many bright intellects to premature graves, and desolation, strife and un-happiness into so many families. Itisafact! Ergwn'sIroS Uitters, a true non-alcoholic tonic, made in Baltimore, by the Brown Chemical Company, who are old drug-gi-ts and in every particular reliable, will, by removing the craving appetite of the drunkard, and by curing the nervousness, weakness, and general ill health resulting from intemperance, do more to promote temperance, in the strictest sense then any other means now known.

It is a well authenticated lict that many medicines, especially bitters are nothing but cheap whiskey vilely concocted for use in local option countries. Such is not the case with Brown's I kox Bitters. It is a medicine, a cure for weakness and decay in the nervous, muscular, and digestive organs of the body, producing good, rich blood, health and strength. Try one bottle. Trice iSi.GG.

"There is no occasion to grease anyljody's knees," shouted his teacher "Go and study your piece." Neither is there occasion to grease your hair. Parker Hair Balsam is all the dressing you want. Restores the original gloHs anil color to gray or faded hair. Does not soil the linen; not a dye; good for the scalp; prevents falling out. KI8SIBa.

H.k. The Rev. Sydney Smith once said in writing of kissing: We are favor of shyness when a kiss is proposed but it should not be continued too lomr, and when the fair ones give in, let it be ail-ministered with warmth and energy. Let the soul be in it. If she closes her eyes and sighs deeply after it the effect is greater.

They should be careful not to slobber a kiss, but give it as a humming bid runs his bill into a honeysuekls deep but delicate. There is much virtue in a kiss well delivered. We have the memory of one we received in our youth whieh has lasted us forty years, and we believe it will be one of the last things we think of when we die. WHAT IT DID FOE. AN OLD LADY.
