Last week the publishers of The Youth’s Companion enjoyed a visit from one of their seventy-flve-year subscribers, Mr. R. W. Peabody, of Chicago, now ninety-one years old, who had been spending a few weeks in New England. He is one of the few subscribers on record who has taken the Youth’s Companion continuously since its first issue, April 17, 1827. The letter in which he sent his ori-, ginal subscription was one of the first he ever wrote. Through young man hood, maturity and old age, through times of war and times of peace, in New England and in the West, through all the last seventy-five years of hiB life, his one constant companion has been the old Youth’s Companion. The growth of the Companion itself from the first small four-page issues to the great family paper of the pre sent is merely typical of the growth of the oountry during Mr. Peabody’s lifetime. The wonderful triumphs of steam, and electricity; the great in ventions that made the nineteenth century what it was, nearly all oc curred in the period through which Mr. Peabody and The Youth’s Com panion have passed side by side. Tne regard Mr. Peabody holds for the paper is not because of its age, but because of the paper, although the same in purpose in its last issue as in that of seventy-five years ago, has kept pace with all the extraordi nary developments of these three gen erations, and instead of growing old, has grown young in enterprise, in originality, and in the ability to know and supply the literary wants of the Amerioan family.

THE WOOING O’T, (Written for the Morris Oo. Chronicle.) Two robins flew into the old apple tree, Where the twisted branohes were sweet with bloom. Will yon be my love? Miss Robin so fair, Together we’ll roam throngh this sweet-soented air. Tee-wee, said Miss Robin, looking down with a sigh, And an arch expression half-veiled in her eye. Tee-wee. tee-wee do you love me? .do you love me? Tee-wee, wee, wee,do you love me? Robin arched his head, what is that you said? Tee-wee, do I love thee? Just try me and see. We’ll bu ld ns a home in this roomy town, I’ll gather the sticks while yon find the down, I’ll sing yon to rest while yon sit on the nest, And hunt for the food which yon love best. Tee-woo, tee-woo, do I love yon? do I love yon? Tee-woo-woo, I do, yon know I do. Two lovers sat nnder the old apple tree, Where the robins sang in the sweet perfnme, Will yon love me,Love? will yon love me long? Said the maiden, list to the robin’s song; As their songs are sweet, so my love is true, Here nnder the bloom seal my troth to yon. Tee-woo, tee-woo, my troth to you, my troth to you, Sang the robin, tee-wee, my troth to thee. Oh, hnman love should be trne and strong, Bnt hnman vows go often wrong. It is easy to love as the robins do When the world takes on a rosy hue; Bnt when winter cones they fly away, To love again some summer day. Tee-woo, tee-wo. do yon? do yon? Tee-woo,woo,woo.ask thyself,do yon? —Rachel A. Holt. Morris Plains, W. J. A Small Fire.
