      GRANDMOTHER'S CHAIR.

      Grandmother sits in her easy chair

      Softly humming some old-time air;

      And as she sings, her needles keep pace

      With the smiles that flit o'er her wrinkled face;

      While the fire-light flickers, and fades away,

      And comes again like the breaking day.

      From morning till evening she knits and sings,

      While ever the pendulum tireless swings

      The moments around, with its tick and stroke,

      Nor hastes for the festal, nor lags for the yoke.

      And grandmother never repines at her fate

      Of being the last at the Crystal Gate.

      Husband, and daughters, and sons all there,

      Wearing the crown and the garments fair

      Singing the songs that will never tire,

      And swelling the chorus of heaven's choir;

      But patiently, hopefully, bides the time

      That shall bring her at last to a fairer clime.

      Grandmother's chair will be vacant soon,

      For the rays of life slant far past noon;

      But yonder in heaven she'll sing again,

      Joining the evermore glad refrain,

      Wearing the crown and the garments fair,

      While we mournfully stand by her vacant chair.

      HOW GRANDMA SURPRISED ELSIE.

      Elsie Dean was four years old when she was invited to her first party. It was Dollie Blossom's fifth birthday, and Dollie's mamma had arranged for a little party in honor of the event. Of course Elsie's mamma was perfectly willing she should go to the party, for the Blossoms were very nice people, and Mrs. Dean was always glad for an occasion of enjoyment for her little daughter. But alas, on the day before the party was to occur, Elsie went to a picnic, and was so unfortunate as to tear her dress—the
