Soft falls through the gathering twilight The rain from the dripping “ve.l And stirs with a tremoious rustle The dead and the dying leaves; While afar in the midst of the shadow. I heard the awoet voice of bells Come borne on the winds at the autumn That lltfblly rises and swells.

They call and they answer each other»— Thcy answer and mingle again-— As the deep slid the shrill in an anthem Make harmony still In their train; As the voices of sentiucls mingle III the mountainous regions of snow, Till from hill-top to hill-top a chorus Floats down to the valleys below.

The shadows. the tire-light or even. The sound of the raln's distapt chime. Comes bringing. with rain soft y drooping. l-iwcct thoughts of a shadowy time. The slumber-cue sense of secluelon. From storm and intruders alanf. We feel when We hear in the midnight, The patter of rain on the root.

“'hcn the spirit goes forth in its yearning To take all its numerous home, 0r. after in the regions or fancy. Delights on swift plulons to room. I quietly sit by the ilrc-llght- The fire-light so bright and so warm— For I know that those only who love me Will see me through shadow and storm.

But should they be absent this evening,

Should even the houscliold depart—- Deserted. I should not be lonely.

They still would be guests to my heart. The faces or friends that I cherished,

'I‘ho smile. and the glance. and the tone, Will haunt me wherever I wander.

And thus I am never alone.

Willi those who have left far behind them The joys and sorrows of time.—

Who sing the sweet songs of the angels In a pun-r and holler clinic!

Tht-n darkly. () own of‘ autumn. Your rain and your shadows may flail;

My loved and my lost ones you bring me— .Iy heart holds a feast with them all.

Only a baby small. Dropt IN!“ the skies;

Only a laughing face, 'I‘wo sunny eyes;

Only two (‘llt‘l‘l‘y lips. Ono chubby nose;

Only two little hands, 'I‘cn lltt‘c toes;

Only 11 golden head. Curly sndmfl; ‘ Only a tongue that wags,

Loudly and on; Only a little brain. Empty of thought; Only a little heart. Troubled with nought; Only a tender flmver. Scnt us to rear; ()nlv a wife to love, While we are here.

KATE BOYNTON'S MISTAKE.

A STORY I‘OII MASON! AND HAIONS’ WIVES.

,. ‘ ‘ Iiut where‘s Ned ?’

‘ Uh! he’s gone offto the lodge again. I declare I get quite out of patience with him,lately. When we were first married. he never left the house of n11 evening; but now he's off sometimes two or three nights a week. And he’s so aggravating about it too. lie won't tell me a word of what they do. or what they talk of; and if I get out of patience-ans what woman of spirit will not at times l—lie won't retort. or answer me back. but just says. in his quiet way. ‘ Ali! I’m sorry you take it that way. By.by. dear; I hope you'll get your eyes open some day. and not look at this mailer as though you were a child.’ As though I were a child. indeed! "I acted half as much like 11 child as his treatment would indicate. he might have some excuse for it.’

And Kale stopped, quite out of breath. as her visitors’ “ things" were taken off. and gathered in- to a huge bundle in her arms. preparatory to being carried into another room.

‘So Ned has become a full‘flcdged Mason. has he 7 ’ queried John Apiliorp. as Kata returned from the other room.

‘ Yss.’ answered she. ‘ I guess ‘ full-fledged ’ is a good word to use. That is what they apply to geese when they arrive at maturity. and I warrant it’ll grace him as well. They‘re all a parcel of geese. to spend their time at lodge meetings, whether they're Masons. Sons of Temperance. Sons of Malta. or whatever they call themselves. Better stay at home with their wives, or take them with them to some lecture or concert or the theatre.’

Kate did not stop to think that she had little cause for complaint on this score. for she averaged at least. two nights a week. at some such entertainment. besides frequently attendiuga matinee. But women who part from their husbands as Kate had from Ned that evening. seldom stop to reason, and Kate was no exception to the general rule.

‘ Well.’ said John. ‘ Masonry is something of a humbug. I wish he were here to—night, so we could Quake up a hand at whist or euehre. Nellie. here, said. coming over. that it had been some time since we had a game.’

- So it has.’ responded Kate. ‘ but there's no fell- ing when Ned will be at home. and I hardly know who I could send for.’

‘Well. never mind; we‘ll have some music in- stead. Do. Mrs. Boyntco.let us have some of those last opera gems.I saw you there the other night. and know you must have learnt fliem by this time.'

Thus urged. Kate took a position at the piano. and now lost al recollection of the vexation of the first of the evening. They all loved manic. and the even- ing passed pleasantly. Kate and John were play- ing a duet when the door opened. and Ned stood upon the threshold.

‘ Bravo 1’ he exclaimed. as the music ceased. ' Re Jovei if I had known what awaited rue here. 1 don’t knew but I should have tare myself away sooner.’

‘And not take a last ride on the goat,’ laughed

John; ‘ or ive that cannon-ball an extra roll across the floor. suppose you can sit down now. with out being forcibly reminded of that hot gridiron ?'

‘Oh. bosh'l ’ laughed he. as he shook hands with John and his wife. and looked pleasantly over at his own Kate to see if her impatience had yet worn off. ‘I hope you have passed a pleasant eveniug.’

‘Dclightful.’ answered John. ‘ And of course you have. Bull say. Ned. why don't you ask a fellow to join if it’s such a grand thing? I’ve been waiting for an invitation from some one 'in the ring.’ '

‘1 will carry an application from you any time you wish.‘ responded Ned ; ' but I shall never urge or even invite you to join.’

‘Ohol So. like the fox in the first oil”. you are not advtsing others to dispense with the tail, eh? I honor you. Ned.’

‘ You misunder

‘ Please. Ned. that's a good boy.’ said Kate. com- ing over to him. and twining her arms around his neck. ‘don't go to the lodge again. You‘re too good. too noble. to be with such a crowd. You're disappointed. and won't acknowledge it. but won't help to get anybody else into the scrape.’

' But it's no such thing.’ said Ned. ‘ It's one of our principles, and one which a good Mason never forgets. to never urge any one to become a member. so that one can only blame himself if he is disap- pointed. Do you understand? I am satisfied. and more than satisfied. with my experience inside the lodge-room. But let as change the subject. I don’t wish to be the means of bringing discord into the midst of the harmony that existed when I crossed the threshold. Let us have some more music.’

Soon they were all amiable again and the vexed subject was forgotten for the present. and it was late when John and Nellie Apiliorp look their leave.

Edward Boynton and John Apilmrp were both bookkeepers in large business houses. and each cn- joyed the confidence of the firm lie was with. Both houses had all along been considered the most pros- perous in the city. but. at one of those commercial panics that occasionly sweep over the coudtry. both houses had been too deeply engaged in speculation. and went down. Both Ned and John had lived pretty well up to iheir means. they having fastidious tastes. and having an eye to the adornments of art and the pleasures of musicand literature. So they both found themselves, in the middle of a severe winter. with about all their means gone. and business still prostrated so that ibey could find nothing to do. It was especially hard to the pear wives. who had hitherto had all that heart could wish. and now found themselves cramped for even necessaries.

Added to other misfortunes. Ned was taken sick about this time. and confined to his bed. llis illness was a fever brought on by‘auxiety and care. Several persons. who recollovieii but slightly. came to watch with him. and others culled to make inquiries. She was grateful. and. mistrustiug that they were Masons. felt more kindly towards the order. but still regretted the money Ned had spent upon it. thinking. wiih their empty flour barrel and purse. lio-v many nice things it could buy, She said as much. a little bitterly, one evening. to one of the watchers who looked at her in a way she could not understand. and then made some remarks about charitable societies not always practising what they pieaeh.

The next day. about noon. as Kate sat eating the last bit of bread in the house. after having made the last meal into some gruel for her potr husband. who u as still out of his head. the bell rang. and she admitted a stranger. one she lianl never seen before.

‘ Does hIr. chnlon live here ? ’

‘ He does ’

' Mr. Edward Boynion, lately with Small. Pellet 6.: Co ? '

‘ Yes. sir.’

‘ He is sick. is he not?’

‘ lie is.’

‘ Ah! And a liiilc money would not come amiss. to buy luxuries. and so forth ?’

‘To buy necessaries. rather. who are you ? ’

‘ No matter. You would not know me. He has bad dealings with our bank, and there is a balance standing to his credit.’

‘ Money in a bank! Iic never told me of it ? ’

‘ Possibly not.’ -

‘ But how much? Oh I it is so fortunate l ’

t I do not now recall the exact amount. But you can take what you think necessary to-day. and I will enter it into the books.’

Two or three times the gentleman came and each time left a sum of money. The fourth time be come. he said :—

‘SupposingI should tell you that our books are square row. and no more is due your husband? What should you do .7 ’

'Oh. sir! do not say so. It is such a mystery. and I have been hoping it would continue.’

The gentleman did not immediately reply; but after a moment of silence. be said :--

‘Tbat large painting in the parlor. oppoaiie the

Ned's favorite.’

' Oh i ' he said abruptly. a moment later. arising to go. ‘I hope the balancing of our books will not be a source of inconvenience to you. You have im- mediate means enough. I presume, to last until Mr. Boynton’s recovery 7 '

After Kate's reluctant and tearful confession. the stranger said.—

‘ I should like the painting that I spoke of a few moments since. I would pay voua good price for it.’

The struggle was short. Kate finally consented to let it go. upon condition that Ned should have oc- casion to redeem it at some future time. which was finally consented to. with the promise extracted from Kate that her husband was to know nothing of it until his perfect restoration to health.

Again and again the stranger came. and offered money for some painting or atatueite. until Kate grew to dislike him. denominating him as the areal-- er. and with difficulty restraining her tears as the saw her desecraied parlor.

At last Ned got round again. and began to grew stronger. But Kate kept the parlor closed. and never built a tire more. dreading the day of exposure and explanation. She had never before kept a as. cut front her husband. and the more she pondered
