have loved a gentle maiden
Long and well;
or her many radiant beauties
Who may tell?
Freely to The winds she givelh
Golden hair;
One rare. burning Jewel gilds her
Forehead fair.
And her silky robes Of azure
Glisien bright
Sometimes on her breast a crescent
Shineth white.
Early AT my open easement
She is leaning,
Jealous lest that Of some other
am dreaming.
Smiling unto me she comelh,
Stealing slow;
On my cheek and brow feel her
Ticsscs glow.
Deep into my eye she peereth
To the brain,
And of pleasant golden visions
Wakes train.
When 10 mine the maiden closely
Rests her cheek,
Thus in whispering words heard her
Gliding speak
"Wherefore, oh thou dreamy poet,
Sleep'st thou still?
Thou may'st hear the big wheel turning
At the mill
s.Hear the pretty milk-maid singing
With her pail;
And from yonder barn the thunder
Of the fail.
"Then why flows thy life stream idle
Meath the sun?
Is there nothing in thy store-house
a To be done7 e
.Start the wheel, thou drowsy miller,
Start in haste!
Ere thy life's uncertain river
Runs to waste.
..I.ike The threshers, be thy labor
Hard and long;
Like the milk-maid let thy glad heart
Gush in song"
Thus the maiden gently chides me,
Whilst her eyes
Speak language all too tender
For disguise.
Therefore flows my love unto her
Like river,
And lllpraise the Maid of Morning
Now and ever. s7s~ I'D

Work for Children.

Work for Children.
There is no greater defect in educating
children than neglecting toaccustom them
10 work. Ii is an evil that attaches mostly
to large towns and cities. Children suffer
much from it. The parent never con-
sidcrs whether the child's work is neces-
sary or not to the child. Nothing is more
uncertain than their future independence
and camfort-much depends on being ac-
customed 10 work-accustomed TO provide
for the thousand constantly recurring wants
that nature entails or US.
If This were moi so, stilt preserves them
fton bad habits; i, secures their health;
it strengthens both the mind and body; IT
| enables them better to bear the confine-
ment of the pent-up school room; and ii
tends more than anything else to give them
jnst and proper views Of life.
1t is too often the case that children.
provided they spend half dozen hours of
the day al school, are permitted to spend
the rest as they please. Thus they grow
up in the world, without any knowledge of
its tolls and cares they view it thI ough
false medium; they cannot appreciate the
favors you hestow, as they do not know
the tolls they cost; their bodies and minds
are eneryated, and they are exposed to
| whatever vicious associations are within
| their reach. b
1hs daughter, probably, becomes that
piliable, helpless object, novel reading
girl. The son, if he surmounls the con-
sequences of your neglect, does it probably
after his plans and station for life are
fixed, and when knowledge, for one Of
its important objects, comes, alas! too
la!e.
| No man or woman is fully educated if
not accustomed TO useful labor. Whatever
accomplishments they possess, whatever
their mental haining, deduction must be
made for.ignorance of that important chap
ter OF the worlds great book.

! "Gen. Paroles is man Of about 4S
years of age, frai and slight in form, and

"the hand wounded" He may be con-
sidered the Murat of Mexico, es he knows
no fear in his almost mad and reckless dar~

and as an exile studied our institutions and
worshipped our enterprise. His American
feelings are strong, and in all business
transactions he is a man of honor. Amid
the thousand opportunities that he had for
amassing an immense fortune, his poverty
has remained monument of his patriotism.
1t was his skill, energy and indomitable
courage, that made Santa Anna President
Of the Mexican Republic; and when he
trifled with the liberties Of his beloved coun-
try, it was he who hurled the Dictator from
place and power, and banished him as an
