THE BooT.RLA,iC1K. A,i1

About hundred years ago, there liy-
ed in. the city Of Oxford, England a boy
whose name was George. He was very
poor. so much so. that, he was compelled
TO clean the boots of the Students at, The
University to obtain money with which to
buy necessaries Of life. His countenpnce
was Of no ordinary appearance. His eye
was keen and every feature OF his face
was perfectly developed. By his easy
and polite manners, his obliging DISPOSE
ticn. and his warm and generous nature
he soon won, the confidence and esteem
Of many Of those upon whom he waited.
The poverty of Ills clothing served him
better to show the richness of a mind
which only needed cultivation to make il
one of the brightest in the whole country.
The students OF the University seeing
such noble qualities in their lowly and
humble boot black determined 10 educate
him. and many of them devoted no little
share Of their time 20 Chat purpose, They
found him ready, willing aud studious,-75
He lost not q moment of bis precious time
but applied himself diligently. perseyer:
ingly, 10 bis studies, and soon became an
equal III not superior, TO some Of his in:
structots. rg,l. - ....l.;
His advancement was, very rapid, so
great was il that numbers were unable 10
recognize in the gifted and talented young
man the once poor and needy boot ,black (.
About this time there was q great change
in The religion Of England. There arose a
cect, which from the peculiar habits2 Of its
members. the strict observance Of :, the
Sabbath. their faithful reading Of Gods
word. and the frequent and stated en-.
gagemebts in prayer, was called Metho.

GENTILITY
BY MRS. NJ. W. STRATTON.
CHAPTER II.

While mentioning the little errors of Miss
Dobbs, we must not forget to acknowledge,
that Mrs. Twitter was not entirely free from
some of the weaknesses which "hesh is heir
to-" and the one from which she suffered
most, was great fear of animals, and con.
slant dread of bugs and insects. She would
at any time 60 very much out of her way,
to avoid wild looking cow or cross looking
dog, though, she said she didn't mind them,
half as much as she did creeping things,
which could get on her before she knew 1t
Those fears of her aunt, were source OF a.
musement to Miss Dorcas at home, but an
excessive annoyance abroad for though the
young lady liked we'll enough to be consPic-
uous, she had no desire to be ridiculous at
the same time, and her aunt never failed to
make them both so.
They were out one day, on shopping ex'
cursion, and in the most public part Of the
town they encountered a very large old goat,
who, either enraged at the defiant appear
ance of the old lady's cap border, which
stuck out from under her bonnet, or like q
human coward, presuming on the fears he
so evidently inspired, he pitched right at

MY SOUL Is 81

MY SOUL IS SAD.
My,soul is sad, dark shadows fling
Themselves athwart the hearts blue sky,
And all the joys which hope could bring
Like bastard traitors from me fly.
O, in this hour of dark despair
When earth is fading from my view,
How would prize kindly tear
An echo from love pure and true.
More calmly could bow my head,
More bravely meet the common doom,
Could but hope when cold and dead,
Bright eyes would weep above my tomb;
And lily hands would gather flowers
And strew them on my place Of rest,
Mementoes of the happier hours,
Twas mine to render bright and blest.
But thus to fall unwept-alone!
To know no one will shed tear,
No bursting heart, when life has flown
Will bend in anguish DER my bier!
1t seems as if my life had been,
; The mockery of an earnest life,
Or plying tears would tremble in,
The eye Of maiden, friend or wife.
When flowers die, the dew-drop lies
Tenderly on the waning leaf,
The turtle round its dead mate flies
And cooes in plaintive notes its grief,
Through Nature everything that dies,
Tells to some heart mournful tale,
From the last Pleiad of the skies,
To lowly violet in the dale.
How sad, the melancholy truth,
Lifes drama has been all in vain;
That triaing manhood, wasted youth,
Cannot be acted DER again;
That in the dark, the narrow house,
/ 60 to sleep the dreamless sleep,
While useless aims, and idle VOWS,
Have scorched the tears that love should weep
Ah!-do not, do not live in vain,
Twas not for this that life was given,
We sail upon stormy main,
With gooa deeds as guide to heaven.
Then seize upon the trusty oar,
And bravely plough the troubled main,
And standing on the spirit shore,
Life will not then seem allin vain.
But must fall In silence lone,
Touch not the once enchanting lutte,
For music's mystic charm has flown,
And echo in my heart is mute.
Away then with its soothing spell
MY soul is dark-my soul Is sad!
And in my bosom burns hell
Whose torturing flames will drive me mad.
