PRISCILLA COMES.
A col.) gray sliy, the clouds droop low,
Before the wind the white lUkea tly,
And yet the sweet world smiles, ng'.ow,
And blithe and swift my heart boats hi#)*
I step as If I beard the drums
Exultant, marching down the street,
For homo to-day my darling comes,
To clasp my neck with kisses sweet
The laggard hours I measure by
The stations where they stop her train,
As stroko by stroke It brings her nigh,
My darling, homo to me again.
I buy and sell, and shyly hold
My secret safe whero none may see,
The stock unprized in worthless gold,
That means far more than gold to ma
The cat curls up against the pane,
The flowers shake out their odors sweet.
For wee Priscilla comes again,
Small princess whom her vassals greet
The house was very still last week,
With wife and baby both away;
The very walls are fain to speak.
And shout their welcome home to-day.
Twos core am I, and growing bald:
Iler lifo has scarce three winters known.
And she by my plain name is called.
And I, than monarch on a throne
Am prouder far, and envy none
1 walk as if I heard the drums,
For home to-day. at set of sun,
My little maid Priscilla comes,

The way wound through a long lane
of pink chestnuts, the spikes of which
were just bursting into bloom. Be
yond the lane was a leafv avenue of
trees bordered on each side by green
fields, through which sparkled a little
river, blue with the sapphire tint of the
spring sky. Along the road came
raonv men. of all kinds and degrees;
also women in strange costumes and
huts wherein blue feathers of fantastic
shapes largely abounded; most of them
bent upon the enjoyment of sunshine
and sweet air. Somo of the men rode
noiseless little bicycle , others drove
high-stepping ponies; and there were
still others seated behind broken-down
horses, which, hired for the day. pain
fully dragged themselves along, their
large eyes wistfully gazing at the
green of the fields by the roads id \ or
the seductively cool overhanging
branches.
It was "first day;" the day of rest
for everything but patient beasts of
burden; a uay of rest for dappled kine
in the shallows, for dogs lazily sunning
themselves before the alehouse door;
for world-worn dames in white mob
caps by the porch of the "Poor Cot
tages;" for bowl egged laborers spent
with their week's work.
Presently from out the "Poor Cot
tages" came sweet Grissel Gray, with
the aged mother who had given of her
fiibstunce to the needy until she had
naught left to give; and so took no
shame to her .elf that she accepted not
the aid of her Quaker friends, but
dwelt in the "Poor Cottages." For
although the Quakers are a thri.ty
folk, they like not to sec their poorer
brethren dependent on other aid than
theirs. But the "Poor Cottages" had
been given for the use of Amerton by
one Guy do Burton, the record of
whoso good deeds lived after him
through the ages. The "Poor Cot
tages" and a stone tomb in Amerton
church bore eloquent testimony to his
memory. No mail-clad knight had he
been, but n pious palmer from the Holy
Laud, whose effigy lay recumbent on a
marble tomb beneath the old stained
glass window of the church, a palm
branch on his breast, and in his hands
u fragment of Holy Cross.
On this "lir.-:t day" morn as sweet
Grissel Gray and her mother, chid in
dove-hued garments, entered the sun
shine, the mother leaning on the
maiden's arm, a fair-faced youth of
twenty came from behind the old oak
at the churchyard gate. His eyes were
blue as speedwell, his hair fair and
curling, his features resolutely firm
yet comely to behold. He was clad in
homely gray, ami bore a stout oaken
staff in his hand. Slowly he came to
wards them, drinking in the quiet
beauty of the maid, and deeming it a
part of God's sunshine as her f.„ir
hair strayed tendril wise from out the
200l depths of a lavender bonnet and
fluttered round the white kerchief
pinned across her breast. "God's
dove!" he murmured reverently, and
gave mother and daughter greeting.
The maiden's blue eyes looked into
his with tender trust. Her mother
took his arm, and Grissel fell behind
us they mounted the hill with slow
steps, for the breeze began to die awa}
god the day was hot.
At the top of the hill reverend

hands of welcome and tender care.
3tliera entered the little wicket leading
to the meeting house and placed fresh
flowers upon the quiet graves of loved
ones gone upon their journey of all
•Jays. The old bell of the church in
the village below gave forth its clang
ing ns to prayer; the cuckoo
called from a neighboring copse; and
the tall elm by the meeting house
sh wered down a benison of blossom
on the folk below as they entered the
rustic porch and sat within the rigor
orously plain aud simple building. At
the end opposite the door were croee-
i benches for the ministers, male and fe
' male, the women sitting 1 to the left,
and the men to the right. As the vari
ous families of Friends entered, the
women and girls turned to the right,
the men and boys to the left. All the
seats were of plain deal, the grain of
the wood showing darkly. In the wood
j itself were quaint shapes, huge lizards,
■ lakes and mountains, and gruesome
animals grievous to behold. In frout
j of the benches, at a green-covered
! table, sat some one appointed to read a
chapter of Iloly Writ if the meeting
were "silent." The walls were pan
neled and of varnished deal. Stray
beams of sunlight came through the
windows, which were live feet from
the ground, and danced across it in
fantastic motes. Even the little chil
dren sat quietly there to worship God
"in spirit and in truth." They did not
shuffle their feet about or cough or
play like other little children, but sat,
with solemnly sweet eyes, holding theii
parents' hands. One little child, the
youngest of the flock, slumbered in its
mother's arms. Presently the woman,
still holding the child, rose up, aud, in
tones of silver sweetness, uttered her
I leaven-born message. A stray child
from the village looked in at the open
porch, and, frightened at the universal ;
quietude, ran softly away. Silence
brooded over the little gathering, a
silence which was only broken by the
rustling of the boughs against the
leaded windows. One of the iniuisters
sat with closed eyes, his fine, serious
face upturned to Ileaven.
At half-past twelve, there was a soft
rustling of gray robes as of angels
speeding upward. The male minister
on the right hand shook hands with
the female minister on his left. Then
the women, the light falling on their
rapt shining faces, moved slowly away
down the path, lingering here and

TIIE YOUTH WAS BESIDE HER
chere to exchange a few gentle words
with each other. The men followed,
nost of tliein clad in somber black or
Jrab. but with very few outward
'narks of distinction from their fellow
beings save thick, soft, snowy cravats
wound closely round about their
throats. Ten minutes after, the meet
ing house was empty.
. for a few minutes, Grissel's mother
sat in the porch, thinking, as her cus
tom was, of all the dead Friends buried
around. The :ainshine fell so lovingly
on their giaves, their peace was so
eternal, that the shadow of death ap
palled her not. Grissel moved from
jiie grave to another, her dove-like
eyes full of brooding peace. Aud ever
as she walked the. youth was beside
her. Where she stayed he ling..red also.
When she moved on his sturdy steps
kept pace with hers. He said nothing,
but his eyes were ever on the maiden's
face. Insensibly they came back to
the porch and stood hand in hand be
fore Grissel's mother, the maiden's
eyes filled with happy tears. "Mother,"
said the youth, gently. "Mother, lean
on me, and we will journey together
always."
Then Grissel's mother arose ami
blessed them: "My children! 'May
the Lord bless thee and keep thee; the
Lord make His face to shine upon thee;
the Lord lift up the light of llis coun
tenance upon thee, anil give thee
peace!' "
'1 lie youth and maiden bowed their
heads to receive the blessing. A
•uckoo's wandering voice wooed them
woodwards, tall trees nodded and bent
to them, a butterfly hovered over Oris
.del ere fluttering away into the blue.
The youth gave his arm to Grissel's
mother. Grissel walked beside theiu
iown the hill until tliey came to the
"Poor Cottages." The mother went
upstairs, leaving Grissel and her lover j
together. He opened liis arms, and she !
'luttered softly to his breast.
The Transom Did It.

the Pickings man to an acquaintance
he met the other day, who was looking
a little down in the mouth.
"Well, said he, "I'll tell you: I am

would Be sufficient to macadamize nearly all ol
the roads in general use throughout the town
ship. In Place of this, as is well known, the
township lias practically received no service.
The roads are today in a deplorable condition
and have been so during the above period,
and previous to the time mentioned. In ninny
places the roads are two narrow for two teams
to pass in safety, the result of no work done, or .
else if done at all, performed in an unskillful
manner. In other places if the weather is in
the least stormv the- roads are But a succession
of mud-hol( s almost itnpussaßlc.
in view ot these tacts the auditors, believing
that the present rate of pay to the supervisors
is excessive considering the service rendered,
have considered it their duty to reduce pay ol i
the horse to $1.50 per day, making pay for one I
man and horse $3.00 per day.
| During tin-winter months when a horse is
! used only to haul supervisor and men to and

charged, the auditors consider that an allow

statement.
