when the Cloud is I'm the Sky.

When the cloud is i'm the sky,
And the wind is on the wave,
When the storm is hurting by
And the tempests 6ercely rave
Then, upon the earth and sea,
Faints the towards heart with fear,
Then, the faithless only see
Danger, death, and ruin near.
But tie drawer, full of faith,
Look beyond the cloud and storm,
Look and see a promise bow
Arcbing with majestic form;
Soon tie cloud will pass away,
Soon tie tempest cease to rave,
God is ever in the sky
On the lard and On the wave.
So along the sea Of time
Where the sails of life are spread
towards, lacking faith sublime,
Watch the clouds with fear and dread
Tut the drawer, DER the storm
See the bow of promise bright,
Ever watching, through the clouds,
For tie coming of the light.

The Pride Of Doing no Work

There are inen--we blush TO call
them men-who turn up their noses at
the mechanics aud humble laborer. Be.
ing literally educated, as il is called,
they look down with a sort Of con,emp,
on those who in cases, have contributed
to their support. "You need no. des-
pise a spinning Wheel" said an old lady

men, too, who will not touch n needle
with their delicate hands, who laugh al
the poor and industrious who learn trades,
or work in factories, for a living. ala!
how unrefined they are!' she says with
a scornful smile. as she lounges on the
sofa. reading the last pink of a novel.
We once knew a lady-shall we call
her a lady?-of this complexion. She
was loudly belaboripg a poor hard work
ing girl, calling her low and unre6ned.-
"Why,'' said she, "hcr father was moth.

present, you could have seen a strange
confusion of faces, and heard a vain at.

When we hear men and women speak
lightly of the industrious part Of the
community, we feel just like tracing
back their g~enealogy. We hare done
SO in several instances, and you would
be surprised at what we learned. The
most aris.ocratic man of our acquain.

VARIETY.
The Chieftain's Daughter.
BIZ E P. MORRIS.

Upon the barren sand,
A single captive stood,
Around him came with bow and brand
The red men of the wood.
Like him of old, his doom he hears,
Roek-bound on oceans rim
The chiefthin's daughter knelt in tears,
And breathed a prayer for him.
Above his head in air,
The savage war-club swung,
The frantic girl, In wild DESPAIR.
Her arms about him flung,
Then shook the warriors Of the shade,
Like leaves on aspen limb,
Subdued by that heroic maid
WHO breathed a prayer for him.
"Unbind him I" gasped the chief,
"Obey your kings decree"
lie kiss'd away her tears of grief,
And set the captive free.
IT'S ever thus, when in life's storm,
Hopes star to man grows dim,
An angel kneels in woman's form,
And breathes a prayer for him.
