PERFECT EUyE.

Perfect love has an advantage In it, that it
leaves the possessor Of it nothing further to
desire. There is one object at least. in
which the soul finds sbsolute content; fer
which It seeks to live or dares to die. The
heart has, as it were filed up with moulds
of the Imagination: the truth of passion
keeps peace With, aud outvies the extrava-
gance Of mere language. There are no
words so ine, no fattery so soft that there
Is not sentiment beyond them that it is
possible to express, at the bottom of the
heart where true love is What idle sounds
the common phrases, adorable creature
dip nifty angle, are! What proud reaec-
ton it is to lave feeling answered toal these
rooted in the breast, unalterable, uuuttera-
bic, to which all other feelings are light and
vain Perfect love reposes on the object of
its choice, like the haleyon on the wave, and
the air of heaven is around it

NO MORE RANCID BUTTER.

A writer in the Journal OF Industrial Pro-
gress recommends that butter should be
kneadad with fresh milk, and then with pure
water. He states that by this treatment the
butter is rendered as fresh and pure in fla
yor as when recently made. He aseribes
this result to the fact that butyric acid, to
which the rancid ordor and taste are owing,
is readily soluble in fresh milk, aud is thus
removed.

BLIND nov AT PLAY.

The blind boys been at play, mother,
And merry games we had;
We led him on our way, mother,
And every step was glad.
But when we found starry flower,
And praised its varied hue,
A tear came trembling down his check,
just like drop of dew.
We took him to the mill, mother,
Where falling waters made
A rainbow Ger the rill, mother,
As golden sun-rays played;
But when we shouted at the scene,
And hailed the clear blue sky,
He stood quite still upon the bank,
And breathed long, long sigh.
We asked him why he wept, mother,
Wiener he found the spots
Where periwinkle crept, mother,
Der wild for-get-me-nots;
''Ah me !" he said, while tears ran down
As fast as summers showers,
at is because / cannot see
The sunshine and the flowers.
Oh. that poor sightless boy, mother,
Has taught me am blessed,
For can look with joy, mother,
On all love the best !;
And when see the dancing stream,
And daises red and white,
kneel upon the meadow sod,
And thank my God for sight.

IrThe man who "earns his bread before he
eats it !" who, while procuring the means Of
ample subsistence for himself and family, is at
the same time beneftting the community in
which he lives, will peruse the following, as all
readers should do, with an acknowledgment of
the well-expressed truths which it contains:
THE noblest men | know on Garth,
Are men whose hands are brown with toll
Who, backed by no ancestral graves,
Hew down the woods and till the soil,
And win thereby prouder name.
Than follows kings or warriors fame"
1.-THE working men, whate'er their task,
Who carve the stone or bear the hod,
They bear upon their honest brows
The royal stamp and seal of God;
And worthier are their drops Of sweat
Than diamonds in a coronet.
''God bless the noble working men,
Who rear the cities Of the plains
Who dig the mines, who build the ships,
And drive the commerce of the main;
God bless them for their toiling hands
Have wrought the glory of all lands"
