There's Work EnGugh 10 Do.

There's Work Though 10 Do.
The blackbird early leaves lis nest
To meet the smiling morn,
And gather fragments for its nest
From upland, wood and lawn.
The busy bee that wings its way
Mid sweets of varied hue,
At every flower would seem to say
There's work enough TO do"
The cowslip and the spreading vine,
The daisy in the grass,
The snow-drop and the eglantine,
Preach sermons as we pass.
The ant within its cavern deep,
Would bid US labor, too,
And writes upon its tiny heap
There's work enough TO do"
The planets, at their Makers will,
Move onward in their cars,
For Natures wheel is never still
Progressive as the stars!
The leaves that futter in the air,
And Summers hreezas WOO,
One solemn truth to man declare
"There's work enough to d."
Who then can sleep when al around
Is active, fresh, and free !
Shall man-creation' lorI-be found
Less busy than the bee!
Our courts and alleys are the field,
If men would search them through,
That best the sweets Of labor yield,
And "work enough to DO"
To have heart for those who weep,
The scottish drunkard win;
To rescue all the children, deep
In ignorance and sin.
To help the poor, the hungrey feed,
To give him coat and shoe,
To see that all can write and read
Is work enough to DO"
The time is short--the world is w!Le,
And much has to be done;
This wondrors earth, ami III its pride,
Will vanish with the sun!
The moments fly on ligLtning's wings,
And life's uncertain, Too;
We've none to waste on foolish thiugs-
There's work enough to DO"

And NV Hear! too.

A few years ago, when it was the Gus
tom for large girls and large boys to at
tend district schools, and when fagella-
tons were more common in school than
at the present time, an incident took place
IN neightoring town, which is worth
recording. One Of the largest, plumpest,
and fairest girls Of the school happened
to violate one of the teachers rules. The
master, prompt, energetic fellow Of 25,
summoned her into the middle of the floor.
After interrogating the girl a few mo-
ments, the master took a ruler, and com
manded her to hold out her hand She
hesitated, when the master, in a blaze of
passion, hundred out-"Will you give
me your hand! "Ies, sir, and my heart
too promptly replied the girl, at the
same time stretching forth her hand to
the master and cycling him with a cum
ming look. 4 death like silence reigDed
for moment in the school room; tear
was seen to glisten in the masters eye;
the ruler was laid upon the desk, and the
blushing girl was requested to take her
seat, but to ren1aih after tie Sch0H acaS
dismissed! In three weeks after the
school finished, the teacher and the girl
were marricd.-PuLDler'S J01unuL
