TIMES CHANGES,
The ether day with eager fest
I left the busy town
And sought the country's cos! retreat
Before the sun went down.
The stlver Thames mado music there,
The wild birds sang in tuna,
And all the world seemed free from cars
That Bunday afternoon.
I paused outside the village church
And heard the psalms that day,
While calm and still around the porch
The sleeping tenants lay,
No nose disturbs the poet there,
The painter sleeps sublime,
Bafe slielteredsfrom all pain and care
Until the end of time.
Down avenues of ancien! trees
That men may soon defile,
I walked that afternoon with case,
And deep in thought the while,
Near there I used to go to school,
A small mischievous boy;
The daily breaking some good rule
Was my supremest joy.
The building stood thers just the same,
But wore a vacant air;
No comrade to the window came
To bid me welcome there,
The boys were gone-—the houss to let
They will return no more;
For ruder hands than theirs have set
A “writ” upon the door.
The grand old school deserted stands,
The garden shows decay;
Shall revel thers in play.
Are natled against the door,
We cherish in our hearts the place
Where we were boys of yore.

handed the documents to Mrs, Widgin,
‘Are there four of them?” she asked
with some appearance of surprise, *‘I

“Four,” he said; but he volunteered
no further information,
The widow unfolded the papers while
the 'swyer watched with professional

almost forgot to blush, but fortunately

Mr. Sharperson had already exceeded
the ordinary limits of pis habitual reti-

Mrs. Abigail Widgin, a buxom widow |
of four-and-forty, sat sewing in the win-

shining bald spot on the top of his head.
“Good afternoon, Mr. Sharperson,”
the widow sald briskly, rising with hos-
pitahle alacrity. *‘I began to fear that
you were not coming.”
“Good afternoon,” the gentleman re-
turned, allowing his hand to be shaken
vigorously.

widow bustling about with the desire of
doing something, yet not knowing ex-
actly what to do. “It must be a cool

response from the taciturn lawyer,

more sensible of it, “Colder than usual

“Oh, it certainly 1s much cooler.”
No response,
“But then it is the time of year, after
all, when a person can expect quite se-

Still no answer,
“The days begin fo lengthen; you
know the proverb, ‘the cold begins to

Still unbroken silence on the part of
the lawyer, and the hostess was forced
to abandon the weather for a more
promising topic.

“Yes. "”

for one who knew nothing about legal

t it not being his custom to waste

thoughts into speech, he made no re-

said to herself that this afternoon he
should do it if feminine wit could devise
a way. Anything short of deliberately
proposing herself she was prepared to
do, and she began now to fear lest she
should be forced to even that extreme
measure.
Now, when everything had been so
admirably worked up to the speaking
point for him instead of uttering the
decisive word, the lawyer only smiled
and was silent, To tell the truth, he
was as eager to get the important ques-
tion asked as was the widow, could he
but overcome his natural laconic habit
and the bashfulnes: which just now ex-
aggerated it. Mrs. Widgin's mouth set
itself a trifle more firmly than before,
“This is always the way if one really
wants advice, If I didn’t want it you'd
probably be ready to give It.’ This

“I see,” said Mrs, Widgin with an

ence in staring wordlessly into the coals,
and just as the widow reached that
point when she felt that she must speak
or go mad, Mr, Sharperson did renew
the conversation,
“Well?” he queried,
“Weil,” she echoed,
“Eni”
The lawyer was wholly unprepared
for having the burden of the talk
thrown upon him: and beyond this
rather incoherent exclamation could say
pothing. The widow looked at the fire
and looked at her taciturn wooer.
“I must say,” she observed witha
touch of sarcasm in her voice, *‘that I
have seen more ardent lovers.”
Mr. SBharperson looked rather abashed
at this, and indeed began to feel that if
his suit for the rich widow’ hand was
to have any chance whatever of success
it must be urged with more vigor. He
aroused himself by great effort and with
some warmth said:
“That showed it more,”
“Come,” the widow thought with
some complacency, “we are getting on;
it is something to elicit a speech of that
length from him.”
Aloud she said:
“Very well, that showed it more, if
you will, How am I to judge,” she con-
tinued, smiling apd glancing up ina
manner which no man with blood in his
veins could have resisted, *howam I to
Judge but by what I see?’
For reply Mr, Sbarperson committed
the most regnarkable deed of his entire
life, He arose from his chair with the
| utmost deliberation, took a step across
he wide hearth rug to the side of his
| hostess, threw his arms around her neck
{ and kissed her with great heartiness
and apparent satisfaction.
“Mercy cried Widow Widgin, mak-
| ing ineffectual efforts to disengage her-
sell. “Whoever gave you leave to kiss
me? I never saw such impudence.”
But the other, having once tasted the
sweets of her lips, apparently enjoyed
them far too well to abandon the feast
80 easily, and proceeded with unction
to Kiss her again,
“I declare,” she exclaimed, yielding
with good grace to what she evidently
could not help. “by the way you go on
one would actually think we were en-
gaged.”
