The rising mists above the vale, the skies of heavenly blue. The dim, embowering groves, kis't by the new born day, The dew wet twinkling grass, the wayside flow rets gay; VTell I recall the footpath that to the brooklet led, The hazol copse that o'er the lane its leafy arbor spread, The meadows rolling far their billowy waves of green. The upland pasture lands, the valleys all serene. And dearest spot the little brook that runs so swift a race. Its pebbles white, its yellow sand, its merry dimpled face; For thero my slender hazel rod was swinging o'er the brook, Tho light lino cast in rippled pool, or in some shadod nook.

For hero the gleaniy auhfish were tenants of tho pool Now darting singly in their play, now swarming in a school. It may bo that the angler, eqnip't with tackle fine. With silver reel and bamboo rod, and costly silken Hue, Who takes the spri nging trout or sea bass at the score. Or brings to gaff the salmon lish along some ocean shore. Hath joy ineffable, and proud success to boast.

At Adirondack lakes or Labrador's rough coast; But never may his victories at brook or salty tide. Yield joys like those of boyhood such glory and such pride Such transports as enchant him, boside somo woodland stream. His sport the little sunfish, his prey the yellow bream. Ah, when the years, tho many years of lifo have fled away. And time and ago upon tho brow havo cast a ohaplot gray.

Ah, then, the heart returns again to each remem berod soeno. When lifo was now and youthful minds wero perfectly serene; For memory then recalls the bloom, tho beauty and the joys. The merrimonts of early life, the happinoss of boys. Isaac "Paw," said Tommy Doddles, "baby has swallowed 25 cents." "You don't say so!" "Yes, eir."

Tho good work achievod by the younger members of the order in Brooklyn is already bearing fruit in the shape of two now encampments, with another under way, thus showing the extent to which tho fraternal and brotherly ideas of the great order are spreading.
