TO "LILLIF LBLLFORD"

/ dream, sweet friend, Of the years gone by
NV life must close ere their memories dies
For spirit-volco whispers sweet and low,
To my heart, Of the beautiful "long ago"
The present is bright, but the past has a spell
It's floating lancies never can quell;
What visions rise from It's fairy shore!
What voices we heard, that we'll hear never
more!
Wemet, sweeiLillle, in the first flush ofyouth,
When our young hearts glowed with the fer
vor ofruthj
Has the aighl Of time changed the SOULS love
and trust-
Have our dreams so beautiful, crumblsd to
dusl1
We may be changed, but know they still 1.-Two:
The world with ito vanities, never could give
A price, for which we could barter our truth,
Or crush dear Lille, tho hopes Of our youth
The years since we parted have aod ike q
dream
First in tho shadow, and then in the shoeni
But the shadow grew bright as passed down
their tide
My love hath blessed me, since left thse,--5
bride.
[ am on the lilo-Oceau, hear its proud swell
The cup we must drink, Lille, who may now
tel}
r or many this lie-song is changed to a moan
May it chant not for US the wild dirgo alone
We arc parted, dear Lille, our paths sever wide
We never may walk, in the world side by side
Yet one boon cravo-my yearning soul cries
Room for tho loved ones in Gods Paradise!

Too Much in O Hurry.

Our readers may recolIect three things
at which a certain old lady once ex-
pressed such unqualified astonishment.
II am surprised" " she remarked "that
the little boys lgW knock the apples off
the trees. when if let alone, they would
so soon fall of themselves. ] am sur
prised that men should kill each other
so much, when in time they would all
die of themselves. 1 am surprised that
the girls acU 90 after the young men so
far, when otherwise they would much
quicker como for them of their own ac-
cord"
Our friend was a philosopher in her
way Without hazarding an opinion on
the last two clauses Of her remark, we
may safely affirm that it is a common
habit with humanity of every age to
knock apples from trees,-fgurative as
well as real-which with little patient
waiting would drop of themselves, but
prematWely grasped are unripe indeed

would snatch his thousands or millions
in the restless race and turmoil of city
competition, and hulliedly leaves all
the certainties Of the one for the risks
and dangers of the other. He is a little
boy, who knocks his apple off, and too
often finds il sour enough at that.
How many persons, young and old,
of both sexes, and all conditions are so
eager for little present enjoyment

youth or the business or family pleas

The poor child became instantly as
pale as ashes, and the frightened look
she gave me I shall not soon forget
She tried to speak and say that it was an
accident, but her tongue was paralyzed
for the moment, and she found no utter
ance.
The lesson 7 had received in the
morning served for purposes Of self
control now; and I said instantly in a
mild voice, "Never mind, Jane, / know
you couldn't help it. ] must tack down
that loose edge Of the carpet / came
near tripping there myself to-day. Go
and get a foor-cloth and wipe the wa
ter as quickly as you can, while L
gather up the broken pieces"
The color come back instantly to
James face. She gave me one CRATE
full look, and then ran quickly away
to do as I directed her When she
came back she blamed herself for not
having been more careful, expressed
sorrow for the accident, and promised,
over and over again, that she would
be more guarded in future.
The contrast between my feelings
now, and what they were in the morn
ing was very great. I felt happier for
having acted justly, and with due
self-control; and my little girl, though
troubled on account Of the accident,
had not the extra burden of my dis
pleasure to bear
"Better, far better" I said to my
self, as L sat and reflected on the Incl
dents just trelated-"far better it is thro'
all our relations Of life, to maintain a
calm exterior, and on no account to
speak harshly to those who are below us.
Angry words make double Wounds
They hurt those to whom they are adj
dressed, while they leave a sting be-
hind them. Above all should we
guard againsta moody temper. When
ever we permit anything to fret our
minds, we are not in a state to exercise
self-control; and if temptation comes
then we are sure to fall.

Bud and leafet opening slowly,
Wooed with tears by winds of Spring,
Now, of June persuaded wholly,
Perfumes, flowers, and shadows bring
Evey, in the linden alley,
All alone I met to-day,
Tripping to the sunny valley,
Spread across with new-mown hay.
Brown her soft curIs, sunbeam -saiuted,
Golden I'm the waverng flush;
Darker brown her eyes are painted
Eye and fringe with one soft brush.
Through the leaves a careless conner,
Never nymph of fount or tree
Could have pressed the floor Of summer
With lighter foot than she.
Few her words; yet like a sister,
Trusfully she looked and smiled;
'Twaa but in nv soul kissed her,
As used to kiss the child.
Shadows, which are not of sadness,
Touch her eyes and brow above;
AS pale wild roses dream Of redness,
Dreams her 1nnocept heart of love.

THE MAIDEN's PRAYER.

by J. C. WHITTIER.
She rose from her delicious sleep
And put away her soft brown hair,
And in a tone as low and deep
AS loves first whir0er, brealhed a prayer
Her snow-white hands together pressed,
Her blue eye sheltered in the lid,
The folded linen on her breast,
Just swelling with the charms it bid,
And from her long and flowing dress,
Escaped bare and snowy foot,
Whose step upon the earth did press
Like q new snowflake, white and mute;
And then from sIumbcr soft and wary,
Like a young spirit fresh from heaven,
She bowed that light and malchless form
And humbly prayed TO be forgiven
Oh! God! if souls unsoied al these
Need daily mercy from Thy thrOue5
If she upon her bended knees,
Our hoIiest and purest one;
She with a face so clear and bright,
We deem her some stray child of light;
IF she with those soft eyes in tears,
Day after day in her young years,
Must kueel and pray for grace from Thee,
What far, far deeper need have we!
How hardly, ir she win not Heaven,
Will our wild errors be fOrgiyen

Cheerfulness

Cheerfulncss and good spirits depend
i'm great degree upon bodily causes,
but much may be done for the promo
tion off this turn Of mind Persons
subject to low spirits should make the
rooms i'm which they live as cheerful as
possible; taking care that the paper with
which the wall is covered should be of
a brilliant, lively color hanging up pic
lures or prints, and covering the chin
ney-piccc with beautiful china. a bay
window looking upon pleasant objects,
and above an % large fire whenever the
weather will permit, are favorable to
GOOD spirits, and the tables near should
be strowed with pamphlets and books.
To this must be added as much eating
and drinking as is consistent with
health; and some manual employment
for mon-as gardening, o carpenters
shop, the tmuing-l8the, etc. Women
have always manual employment enough,
and it is sa great source Of cheerfulness.
Fresh air, exercise, occupation, society,
and travelling are powerful remedies.
Melancholy commonly flies to the fu-
ture for its aliment, and must be en-
countored i'm this sort of arti6oe, by
diminishing the range of our views
L have q large family coming on, my in
come is diminishing, and I shall fall in
pocuniary difficulties. Well butyou
arc not ao0 in pecuniary difficulties.
Your eldest child is only seven years
old; itmust be two or three years before
your family make any additional de
mands upon your purse. Wait till the
time comes. Much may happen in the
interval to better your situation; and if
nothing does happen, at least enjoy the
two or three years Of ease and uninter-
Eruption which are before you. You are
uneasy about your eldest son in India;
but it is now June, and at the earliest
the fleet will not como in till Septem-
/ Der; it may bring accounts of his health
and prosperity, but ot all events there
are eight or nine weeks before you can
hear news. Why are they to be spent

and to extract misery from every pass.

1t is wise to state to friends that our
