GEMS IN VERSE.

A Tyrant.

sThey knew not whence the tyrant came, 'iThoy did not oven know his name, Yet he compelled them, one and all, sTo bow in bondage to his thrall, '.'And from their lips allegiance wrung, «Although a stranger to their tongue.

Whilst he was wrapped in royal state Their hours of toil were long and late. No moment could they call their own Within the precincts of the throne, And when they dreamed their work was. o'er -'He only made them slave the more. ^Although the conquering king was ho

Of people who had once been free, No word of praise or promise fell sFrom him his subjects served so well, And none of those who crowned him lord

Received a shadow of reward. ^Obedience to his behest ^Destroyed their peace, disturbed their rest.

Yet when his drowsy eyes grew dim sNo mortal dared to waken him. They stole about with stealthy tread— "The baby is asleep," they said. —Ellen Tliorneycroft Fowler.

The Old Homestead.

isThe sunbeam's light is still As it stands upon the hill All alone, .vBut- there's no one left to mourn

Or to tramp upon its worn Step of stone.

For two centuries or more The winds have settled o' Its low roof, But the boards are all decai d, And no longer it is made

Weather proof.

In the valley there below People come and people go, Young and old, And the ancient house looks down ,On those people and the town,

Stern and cold.

Oh, how often years before There have pattered on that floor Little feet! While- children's voices clear Came floating to the ear,

Soft and sweet.

But no longer through its hall Do those sweet child voices call Soft and low, For those children there at play Have grown old and passed away

Long ago.

Now its timbers are not strong, So it will not stand there long Upon the hill, But while it does remain May the love some heart may gain

Guard it still.

Thus it is in human life, When its sorrows, cares and strife— All is o'er. Like the homestead, old and gray, We shall stand and wait each day

On the shore

By the rapid, flowing river, Boon to leave this life—forever. —Boston Globa.
