With the past before my eyes ;
And now through blinding tears,
long past scenes arise.
Ah, why should haunting visions come
Upon my memory,
When bridal blossoms lie
To wreath my burning brow.
I read the letters o'er and o'er
That were so dear to me,
Those white winged messengers
Of love that came so faithfully.

A lock of soft brown hair,
And lay them the dying cools.
With the ring I used to wear.
I bow my head upon my hand,
My heart is tired and sad,
do not heed the darkening shades
That gather o'er my head.
I'm borne away on wings bliss
To realms days long past,
Again your dear familiar arms,
old me to your
Again your tender, loving voice
Breathes music lo my ear,

yard to shoot some fireworks. It being
good many years since Agent Moore
was a boy, he had somewhat lost the
art of touching oft sky rockets, and for-
getting that they should be planted in
the ground he concluded that the sticks
to the rockets were handles to hold
them by as they went off. So taking

gratifying, for the reason that it was

There were features of the battle
which have never been matched in
the annals of warfare. For two

Queen Victoria, when a girl, was
passionately fond of climbing walls
and trees. One day at Malvern she
climbed a tall apple tree and was
unable to get down. A young man
named Davis, a gardener, was at-
cries, got a ladder
and brought her safely down. Deep-
grateful, she opened her purse
and presented him with a guinea.
Davis framed it, and ever since has
been proud to tell the tale and show
