SPIRIT OF SoNG.-BY CHARLES SwAr
Thou speak'st Of stars like lovers eyes,
That tremble with excess of light;
Tell us what star Of all the skies
Can set an honest purpose right;
What planet aid an upright mind;
And thou'lt do something for mankind.
Thou speak'st of magic tides that flow
just as the moon is curved or round;
Tell US what tide of earth can show
Where simple justice may be found;
The tide that leaves MOI truth behind,
And thou'lt do something for mankind.
What fount will keep affection true7
What spell will rivet friendship fast3
What flower will blighted faith renew,
And keep hope blooming TO the last2
0, teach the heart but these TO find,
And prove an angel TO mankind

THE BROKEN HOUSEHOLD.

BY MISS ALICE CARY.
Vainly, vainly, memory seek
Round our fathers knee,
Laughing eyes and rosy cheeks
Where they used to be;
Of the circle once SO wide,
Three are wanderers, three have died
Golden-haired and dewy-eyed,
Prattling all the day,
Was the baby, first that died;
o twas hard TO lay
Dimpled hand and cheek Of snow
In the grave so dark and low
Smiling back on all who smiled,
Meier by sorrows thralled,
Halt a woman, half child,
Was the next God called
Then grave more deep and wide
Made they by the baby's side.
When or where the other died
Only heaven can tell;
Treading manhoods path of pride
Was he when he fell;
HAPPY thistles, blue and red,
Bloom about his lonesome bed.
/ am for the living three
Only left to pray;
Two are on the stormy sea;
Farther still than they,
Wanders one, his young hear, dim,
Oftenest, most, / pray Tor him.
Wha,so'er they do or dare,
Whercsoe'er they roam,
Have them, Father, In thy care,
Guide them safely home;
Home, o Father, in the sky,
Where none wander, and none die.

MAIDEN WORTH.

Her home was but cottage home,
A simple home, and small;
Yet sweetness and affection made
il seem fairy hall;
A little taste, a little care,
Made humble things appear
As though they were translated there
FROM some superior sphere,
Her home was but u cottage home,
A simple home, and small,
Yet sweetness and affection made
1t seem iSiry hall.
AZ sweet the home, so sweet the maid
AS graceful aild as good;
She seemed lily In the shade,
A violet in the bud!
She had no wealth, but maiden worth
A wealth that's little fame;
Yet that's the truest gold Of earth
The others but name
Her home was but q cottage home,
A simple home, and small,
Yet sweetness and affection made
II seem fairy hall.
A cheerfulness Of soul, that threw
A smile DER every task,
A willingness that over few
To serve, ere one could ask
A something we could wish our own;
A humble how'ret born,
To grace in Its degree throne,
Or any rank adorn.
Her home was but cottage home,
A simple home and small,
Yet sweetness and affection made
