Away went Brilantn, but the chase was
vain she never got so much as a glimpse of
Happiness, though she went OIL pursuing till
death overlook her. mist that had been
gathering round her settled into darkness, and
saw her no more.
She whom had seen start in the career of
life with Brillanta was named Serena. She
came forth daily from home where all sweet
contentments were, from God-loving at God
fearing parents to her school tasks. She had
an earnest and sweet countenance, but what
chiefly struck me about her was unl:keness to
the rest of the world.
She was not pursuing Happiness. She was
too modest to claim her presence, too humble
10 expect. She was so occupied with her tasks
and desires, that she had no time to think OF
herself, but she was eager enough to obtain the
acquaintance of Happiness for Others. What
disinterestedness; what selfforgetfuiness she
practiced to achieve this and strange to say,
when she asked and sought this eluding being,
and when the clouds gathered heavily around
Serena, so that Happiness could not come she
sent her helpful handmade, Patience and Sere-
ma was content and grateful.
"How many unexpected, undeserving meet
ings | have with my heavenly friendl Serena
would exclaim. Happiness daily saluted her
on the lovely aspect of nature in household
loves, in the prayer of faith and the peace of
acquitting conscience. TO Serena in due time
also came the wedding day, and with illimita-
BILE hope and right confidence that belongs to
that period of a woman's life, she said: "Hap-
piness, you will of course preside at this festi-
VAL"
"Of course" replied Happiness, "for where
my best friends gather on the wedding day
love, fidelity and moderation-am | ever ab
sent! But remember, my dear Serena, my
stay cannot be long; care, trial, sorrow, must
come to you; cannot consort with them, but
they will prepare you for my constant society
hereafter, and make you relish it keenly.

THE DEAREST PLACE IS HOME.

BY LEIGH cLIFFER, ESQ.
Of all the spots that Heaven has blest'
The dearest place is home;
IT'S there the fond heart loves to rest,
And never seeks to roam;
While love plays round the smiling HEARTH
IT'S Heavens own bliss enioy'd on earth.
OF all the joys that man can feel
The purest sure are there:
While DER his heart affections steal,
Like balmy summer air;
His wife's caress-his children's smile,
Unlike the world, are free from guile.
Of all the gifts bestowed to cheer
Mans pilgrim path below,
The richest treasure resteth here,
Which they are best who know.
While Love plays round the smiling hearth,
IT'S Heavens own bliss enioy'd on earth.
