In youth, beside the lonely sea, voices and visions came to me. Titania and her furtive broods were my familiars in the woods. From every flower that broke in flame some half-articulate whisper came. In every wind I felt the stir of some celestial messenger. Later, amid the city's din and toil and wealth and want and sin, they followed me from street to street, the dreams that made my boyhood sweet. As in the silence-haunted glen, so, mid the crowded ways of men: strange lights my errant fancy led, strange watchers sat beside my bed. Ill fortune had no shafts for me. In this aerial company. Now one by one the visions fly, and one by one the voices die. More distantly the accents ring, more frequent the receding wing. Full dark shall be the days in store, when voice and vision come no more! – Thomas Bailey Aldrich in Scribner's Magazine. J. Dreicer & Son.

Weatherley models of the newest and most recherché character. Ladies' Tailor and Habit Maker, 420 Fifth Ave. and 2 West 38th St. A farewell to yesterday. Where is the road to Yesterday? O tell in prose or rhyme; for I could trace my backward way to that enchanting clime. Life was so fresh and good and true, and friends so kind and fair. Why should a day so bright and new all fade away in air? Who knows the road to Yesterday? Is every seeker blind? Say, does it cast no single ray to pilot those behind? O there's a road that leads our feet to hours more glad and bright: - a road so short, a joy complete, a journey of a night! Come, bid fare well to Yesterday! For in to-morrow's face the happiest days now flown away shine with a sweeter grace. – C. H. Crandall in Companion. J. T. Cowdery. Publisher. 123 West 42nd St. N. Y.

A comforter. Vexed with the trials of a dismal day, I sat me down to rail at God and man, to pour into a bitter, venomed lay all the vile anathema, a curse, a ban; hope seemed to stumble on her weary way. And a dark purpose, like a river ran through my sad soul. But how, oh friend I pray. Can one long murmur at the ordained plan when to the haven of his arms there slips a baby daughter, robed in snowy white, who, with love's prattle on her infant lips, has come to kiss and bid a sweet good night and whispers, cuddling close her precious head.

When thou art working in the furrows; ay, or wedding in the sacred hour of dawn, it is a comely fashion to be glad. Joy is the grace we say to God. – Jean Ingelow. Faithfullness in the humblest part is better at least than proud success; and patience and love in a chastened heart are pearls more precious than happiness; and in the morning when we shall awake to the spring time freshness of youth again, all troubles will seem but a flying flake, and lifelong sorrow a breath on the pane. – Selected.
