4 Fragment.
By GEORGE ". EvELETH.

Over one spot in the lonely glade broo-
ded spirit of particularlgloominess. No
flowers smiled upon il. No greenness
was there, save that of an amaranth stalk
which leahess and bearing single pale
bud, seemed almost spent with toiling in
TO life from he barren Dust The voice
which made its music was but the voice
of the withered pine-boughs sighing as
they shiyered above il. All around 1t
there were sadness and dismal decay
Yet. in earih's uncursed piaceS-in forest.
IN field, about the beds of the peaceful
dead-were vcrdure, and blossoms, and
melody.
Besides the amaranth, stirring with her
lleShless fingers and earth which covered
lis feeble roots, kneeled maiden. There
was wilJncsS in her eyes. Upon her
wasted, wan cheeks were the dreary Grim
son STAINS. Silent, intent on her strange
labor, she knelt through the remaining
day; through the YEARLY passing hours
of the night to It's boding noon clouds
moved over the spot, hanging mOurnfully
10 tItN lObhtu upOh IT, TIC SlSHlHS
pine-leaves broke forth into wsiling.-
The frall shrub quivered as if in the death
chill. Yet on toiled the maiden through
the slowly waning, now mingling her
warm tears with the dry dus', and speak
inc low and tender words which told of
ove such as crime could not destroy, such
as would not be shut from lis object by
he portal Of felon's grave.
The morning came, cloudless and still
and sunny. The signing and the waling
Of the pine-leaves were hushed. Sill
lneclcd the maiden with her slim fingers
n the loosened earth, but no longer at
her work. Still was the gIassiness upon
ler eyes, but they were no longer unqui-
city moving in their sockets, and no lon
yer tears were falling from them. Srill
we're her Thin lips apart, but no longer
or the utterance of undying love. Still
vas the ghastly sallow upon her sunk
checks, but with itno longer was blend
no the crimson. The pale bud was un-
olded, and beautiful in its fadeless, inn
Mortal purple, sat smiling upon the desc
ale spot.

tomorrow. The hidden sun Will appear
in few hours and darkness give place to
light.
There are men who have lived more than
half a century whom we have known
for vears-who have always been look
ing forward for better times. VIII they
ever come If they were wise, would
they not ENJOY the present hours The
great secret Of contentment and happiness
consists in living for the present moment
and enjoying all the gifts of benehcent
Creator. If we could live Z thousand
years we should not see q brighter sky
a grander ocean--a more rich and varied
landscape, or find the dispositions and
characters Of men TO change for the better.
Now is the time TO be happy--to ENJOY
and take things rs they are
Who will be 4 fool, when he is capable
of being wise. Who will make himself
when the elements of true
are within and around him =
