TO HR. AND MRS. E. E. ALLEN
If aught availeth prayer of mine
Could ear to my request be given
Could hope and wish together twine
And gain an tntrance into Heaven.
I’d wish that you two
Who along life's path have started,
May at Its end together stand,
As fair as now, and as happy hearted.
I’d wish that skies of brightest blue
Would ever shine for botli of you
\ And pot one Wish should have a blight.
But fairy scenes your footsteps crowd.
Love with the passing years increase,
Hopes prove real, friends prove true
Together walk the pathway here,
Together roam the fields of Heaven.
Aunt Ella.

ms Silver Lining.
A country vicar gome time ago took
: into his service a youth as house-hov.
: The lad. in spile of the reverend cc r
! tleman’s frequent admonition?. v-;s
i so slow in his movements that me
worthy gentleman was at last con
strained to make a complaint to his
! mother. ‘“I've spoken to him several
i times,” said he, “but, really, he ap- •
pears to get slower andslower.” “’Yes,
i vicar,” agreed his mother, smiling,
j “Alfred was alius like that.'' “But,"’ |
rejoined the vicar, “it is nothing to i
be amused at; it's a serious thing for
a boy to get'intosueh habits—a mat- i
! ter to worry over.” “1 used to think ;
so myself, wiear." said the old lady, .
“until one Sunday you preached a
sermon adwisin' us alius to look at
the bright side o’ things, then J start- j
ed to look at the shiny side of Alfred, j
and thinks I, ‘Well, he may be terribly
steady in his movements, but there's
' one comfort: if that there boy hap
; pened to hev ben a horse and cart,
the man as owned hint would never be
afraid of beingsummonsed for furious
i driving/ ”—London Tit-Bits.
His Chief Ambition.
An Atchison young man who gets
up at 5:30 every morning, says hie
principal ambition in life is to get
j rich enough to throw an alarm clock
through a plate glace window.—At
