A SONG OF TIME. How worn a theme fa that jf time , Then why do I begin to rhyme Upon It now I Because to night the air i« filled ' With voices that will not be stilled - They will not ceaaa And always sing the saint efrain Of Time that ne'er will coine again, Of Time that fliea, Of all that Time sweeps in his flight. The voices sing to me to-night, Time cures all care. That is what I would fain believe, My heart therewith I do deceive, With faith in Time. Oh , voices singing, be you mute, You touch a chord on my heart's lute But seldom played; Yet filling the air around With a sweet melancholy sound, A song of Time 1 Of time that was, of days so fair When all was young, and love was there - Long days ago I Be still ! be still ! that sad refrain ! I dare ot listen once again To that same song ! Maybe I hold those days to 3 high, And yield them far too oft a sigh, Those long days since ! Yet as they were the fairest yet Of all my days, then why forget That happy time 1 Though if it still should be my fate To live yet happier days, the date Of that sweet time. I'll bury, then, within the grave Which holds all things forgotten, save The present time. Nor heed a voice which whispers low, "The sweetest song is that you know Of long ago."

It would be like looking ] into Paradise - but - l can't leave father." t There sounded a heavy sigh. Both j women turned round to see the old, | gaunt man in the doorway, the tears I streaming down his cheeks as he held , forth his trembling hands as if in bene- I diction. "Go, Jeddy, go, angel - don't stay for me - l'm not worth your care," he said, pitifully. But Jeddy thought otherwise. Long after the splendid carriage had gone, she sat there holding the gray head against j her shoulder, soothing ami petting him j and lending a willing ear to his promises I of amendment. The second carriage brought a stylish ! young gentleman, with whom her friends had often coupled her name. He came with an offer of marriage, but Jeddy gave him the same soft but determined answer, "I couldn't leave father," and I he.-ten, went away, disconsolate, i The third carriage contained one whe i had always been a friend, also a young ; gentleman, who had lately returned from a foreign tour. He asked no questions and expressed no surprise, though the change he saw affected him painfully. But, like a tru< : friend, he resolved to aid both fathei i and daughter. To this purpose he followed the for- I mcr, and quietly tried to hinder him from the abuse of his appetite, and gradually gained his confidence. - Then he told how sadly the change it I his daughter had troubled him. "Change!" exclaimed old Joe, "how is she changed?" I 'ls it possible you do not see that she is t r death's door?'' - my child - my 'ange/« mt'.' What have I but her?" "You have God, and He will help yon to redeem yourself. If you do that, youi daughter will live, if you do not, she will die." 1 hat night old Joe went home full o: doubts and fears. He watched his child sick at heart from the news he heard. "I can make her live - and I will!" h< said, resolutely, to himself. "I am noi an old man his bowed head God's help I will be a new one!' He went to the curb outside and broke his pocket-flask in a hundred pieces. Th< next day he came home sober ; tke next, he had found a place -a small one, it wat true, but in the old bank where he had once reigned master. Everybody saw the change. Old Joe had new clothes, ht was respectable to outward seeming. Once more he became a man among men. His knowledge of the business, his integ rity, gained him a better position. Day by day he took steps upward - dav by day the color and brightness came intc his daughter's face anti her step grew light and her tones joyful. It seems like a miracle, but is not, that old Joe rides in his own carriage again He is Mr. Pollard again, cashier of th< bank, and a power among his fellows. Il was just trustingin God and God helping him as he helped himself. But the best of all is, his glorious daughter bysacrific ing herself, by her noble fortitude, byhei patient care, has won a place in his heart ami in the hearts of all who know her, prouder and more enduring than th< throne of a queen. - Denison, ii Youth's Companion.

Only three years ago, and no more stately, vigorous, hale gentleman walked the streets than Joseph Pollard, Esq.; now he was "old Joe," and sometimes "poor old Joe." When he failed, he was living in great splendor. People to this day point out the Pollard mansion, and tell you of its fanner greatness. Happily, there was no dishonor attached to his name.

Jeddy had carried much of her fine wardrobe with her into the poverty of her surroundings. Of course, she made over and toned down the material, but "the look of the lady," as one of the coarser neighbors said, was upon her "and couldn't be mistook." Everybody pitied her when old Joe came reeling home; but few knew how patiently she put up with his infirmity, how she soothed and coaxed him, w'ith what tenderness she anticipated his wants, and even when it would seem that he was scarcely entitled to her re respect, - spect, respect, honored him.
