Their memory brings me cheer. I think of frieuds.of other days, I iu those places met; Long as 1 live those dear old friends 1 never can forget. One place is a little village In northern Illinois. For many years uiy home was there, A home of peace aud joy. ' Yes, Ringwood I shall always love, Although my home no more; It comes before me here today, Just as it did of yore. That old brick schoolhouse, mauy days I spent within its walls, ' And many bright young boys and girls My memory recalls. The old school house is there no more, The pupils' heads are gray; Bpt they honor both their town and school, Where'er they are today. That old white church, I love it still, I always shall, I know.' " That place was very dear to me In the days of long ago. Such a noble baud of Christians I've not seen since the day *" Those rneu and women gathered there To witness, sing aud pray. Where are they now, that noble band, Who often met me there? Why, scarcely one of them is left To lift his voice iu prayer. But in a bright and blessed houie, A place of light and joy, They're living with tbe Master now. His praise their tongues employ.. There's nnother place in Ringwood, Of which I think today. Most of my family are there. From earth they've passed a Way. The partner of my pilgrimage Thru forty-five long years, Aud darling Rose, they're sleeping there. I write mid falling tears. Yes, Ringwood, I will love thee still, No matter wtae#e I go; For thee my heart shall thrill with joy, For thee my tears ahall flow.
