The Strange Providence.

very flower of vomsnhood, end a, a time v hen
thousand Of the tenderest lies we're binding
her 10 the earth. "Whal a strange, sad
mysterious Providence"
Strange and sad enough" was the sobe
response. "Ah mt the ways Of Him whe
stitch amid CLOUDS and shadows are dark and
imPenetrabe. She was a thoughtful, loving
mother"
"Nons could have been more co." answer.
ed the frs. speaker.
"And her little ones need her care DOW,
perhaps, mare than they will ever need ,again.

"Ah me! it is strange very strange !"
added the o:her. {" cannot comprehend it.
Why should G cd remove true hearted moth.

''Of!en and ten have asked myself ,ha,
question but there has come no satisfactory
reply"
But, while these friends Of the departed one

"Why Clara /" exclaimed MIR. Carlton, on

There was a slight business in her voice

windows, remarkng as be did so
" II is wrong 10 expose yourself 10 this way,
Clara, dear, you might take cold iba, would

10 Day.
By CHAsLEs WrLrox.

BY CHARLEs WILTON.
Let doiards grieve for childhood's DAYS,
And only those look back,
Whose wasted wealth or shattered health,
bs,rays a shameless track;
cannot Join in mourning time
Forever passed away
For while leok on Natures book,
I'm thankful for to day.
The trees are still as fresh and green
AS ever branches were,
And still. in primal vigor seen.
They wave their arms in AIR.
The rivers sing the selfsame song
That they have sung for ave,
Whose burden, as they glide along,
Is God is here to day :"
There's net bird upon the bough,
Or leaf upon the tres,
But in the summer twilight now
As sweeilJ sings to me.
The 5leakest wind that winter blows
Can chase disease away.
And shower blessings in the SHOWS
That hide the earth 10 day.
And every where a thousand gifts
Invite US to rejoice
10 grove no moro the days Of yore,
But raise thankful voice;
That tell US though the world were fair
In years renewed for ave,
Tbs earth and sky. and sea and air,
As lovely are to day.
Then tell me not that ehildhood's days
Alone are fraught with joy
That manhood's fancy cannot raise
Tie structures of the boz.
The childish mind is lost in dreams
OF pictures far away;
But man beholds majestic themes,
The wonders Of to day.
Oh, ye whose eyes upbrading rise.
Prcnoucing fate unjust
Who walk the earth with cherished hopes
Low trailing in the dust
Discard false, unmanly thrsll,
Nor own SO werk sway;
But hope in Him who gave you all,
And thank Him for 10 day,
