Triumph Over EVIL.

We are rewarded for every triumph we
make over temptation. will suppose there
are many who have struggled against the vain
pleasures many who have put down evil
thoughts with a strong will many who, af-
ter long, and it may be, an uncertain con.
flict with the seductions of the world, at
length have triumphed. will put it to then,
whether, when they have combatted and SO
prevailed against the evil, and their hearts
have not softened and melted within them,
whether they have not felt within their bosoms
seraphic influence They have so felt;
and so it will ever be. No sooner shall thew
have driven from them the tempting demon
of pride, of vanity, Of anger,-no sooner shall
the devil have left them, angels will come and
minister unto tothem-JGrroM

HANNAH BINDING SHOES.
By LUCY LARCOM

BY LUCY LARCoM
Poor, lone Hannah.
Sitting at tae win low, binding shoes,
Faded. wrinkied,
Sitting, stitching, IN Il mourntul muse,
BrlcIt-eyed beauty Once was she,
When the bloom was ON tree;
Spring ami winter,
Hannah's at the window, binding shoes.
Not neighbor
Passing uOd or answer wall refuse
To her whisper,
lis there from tae fishers any newss"
On. her hearts admit with one
On an endless voyage gone!
Night and morning
Hannah's at the window, binding shoes!
Fair young Hannah,
Ben, the sun-burnt fisher, eayly woos;
Tall and clever,
For willing heart and hand he sues.
May-day skies are all aglow,
And the waves are iaugling 50!
For hrl Wedding
Hannah leaves her wncow and her shoes.
May is passing;
'Mong the apple bougas pigeon coos.
Hannah shu iers,
For the wild : ,itllwester mischief Grews
Round the rocks of Marblehead,
Outward bound, a schooner sped.
Silent, lonesome,
Hannah's at the window. binding shoes.
'Tis November
Now no tear her wasted cheek bedews.
From Newfoundland
Not sail returning will she lose,
Whispering, hoarsely, " Fishermen,
Have you-have you heard of Ben.''
Old with watching
Hannah's at the window, binding shoes
Twenty winters
Bleach and tear the rugged shore she view!
Twenty seasons
Never one has brought her any news.
Still her dim eyes silently
Chase the white sails DER the sea.
Hopeless, faithful
Hannah s at the window, binding shoes.

And then most awful tight he got, and ther

At last despairing of relief, and wishing him

THE INFlDRL AND HIS DAUGHTER

Suggested by reading recent newspaper par
vraph. describing the scene between the brave OF
ErHAN ALLEN and his daughter, on the eve OF ~
DEATH when she asked the stern inhdel IN wnos
faith he would have her die--his, or her mother
"The damps of death are coming fast,
Nv father, DER my brow;
The past with all it's scenes has He'd,
And must turn me now
To that dim future which IN yaln,
Nv ewes seek 10 deScry;
Tell me, my father, IN this hour,
In whose belief TO die?
"In thineg I've watched thy scornful smile,
And heard thy withering tone,
When e'er the Christians humble hope
Was placed above thine own;
I've heard thee speak OF coming death
Without shade of gloom,
And laugh at all the childish fears
That cluster round the tomb.
Or is il in nv mothers faith:
How fondly do trace
Through many u weary year long past
That calm and sanity lace.
How often do call TO mind,
Now she's beneath the sod.
The place. the hour. in which she drew
My early thoughts TO God!
Twas then she took this Sacred Book,
And from its burning page,
Read how its truths support the soul
In youth and fniling age;
And bade ME in lis precepts live
And by its precepts die.
That might share a home of love
In worlds beyond the SKY.
NJ, father. shall look above,
Amid this gathering gloom,
To Him whose promises OF love
Extend beyond the tomb?
Or curse the Iieing who hath blessed
This checkered path of mine:
Must embrace my mothers faith,
Or die. my sire, ii thlne:'
The frown upon that warriors brow
Passed like cloud away,
Aud tears coGrsed down the rugged cheek,
That flowed not till that day.
"No, not III mine" WITH choking voice,
The sktptic i!ade reply
" But in thy motaers holy faith,
Ny daughter, may ST thou die. ~

THE THREE CALLERS.

Morn calleth TO young boy straying,
Mid golden meadows rich with clover dew;
She calls-but he thinks of nought save playing
And SO she smiles and waves him an adieug
Whilst he still merry with his Aowery store,
Deems not that morn, sweet morn! returns no more
Noon cometh-but the boy to manhood growing,
Heeds not the time-he sees but one sweet form,
One fair young face, from bower to jasmine glowing
And all his loving heart with bliss is warm.
So noon unnoticed seeks the We stern shore,
And man forgets that noon returns no more.
Night tappeth lightly at easement, cleaning
With the thin elight tiickering faint and low
BY which gray haired man is sadly dreaming:
Night calls him to her, andhe leaves the door,
Silent and desolate, and returns no more.

THE FAIR THIEF.
BY THE EARL OF EGREMoST, TO HIS ,

BY THE EARL OF EGREMoNT, TO HIS WIFE.
Before the urchin well could go,
She stole the whiteness of the sn.w;
And more than whiteness to adorn,
She stole the bushes of the morn
Stole all the sweets that ether sheds
On primrose buds and violet beds.
Still to reveal her artless wiles,
She stole the Graces' silken smiles;
And stole Aurora's balmv breath,
And pilfered Orient pearls for teeth.
The cherry dipt in morning dew,
Gave moisture to her lips and hue.
These were her infant spois, a store
To which in time she added more.
At twelve she stole from Cypria's queen
Her air, and love-inspired mein--
Stole Juno's dignity, and stole
From Pallas sense to charm the soul.
Apollo's wit was next her prey;
The next, the beam that lights the day;
She sung-amazed the syrens heard,
She p!ayed--the muses. from the hill
Wondered who thus had stolen their skill,
Great Joye approved her charms and art
And t other day she stole my heart.
lflovers, Cupid, are thy care,
Exert thy influence on the fair;
To trial bring her stolen charms,
And let her prison be my arms.

Daughter of want and wrong and woe,

By Mere. ; strong Yet a -.li0I.ng hand.
Avis" WITH Saxon eye and cheek,
Al once a woman and Il child,
The saint uncrowne came to seek
Drew near to greet us,-spoke and smiled.
God gave that sweet sad smile she wore
All wrong TO shame, all souls To win,
heavenly sunbeam sent before
Her pathway through a world OF SIN.
And who is s?"-Hear the tale
The calm.voiced matrons gravely tell -
The story known through all the vale
Where Avis aud her sisters dwell.
With the LOST children running wild,
Starved from tire hand OF human care,
They find one little reiGse chiid
Left helpless in its poisoned .sssr
The primal mark is on her face
The chattel- -stamp,-the pariah stain
That follows still her hunted race
The curse without the crime OF Cam.
How shall our smooth turned phrase relate
The little suffering outcast's all?
Not Lazarus al the rich mans gate
so turued the roSe-wreathed jewellers pale.
All, veil the living death from sight
That wounds our beauty-loying eye.
The children turn in selfish fright,
The white-lipped nurses hurry by.
Take her, dread Angel! Break in love
This bruised reed and make it thine.-
No voice descended from above,
But Avis answered, "She is mine."
The task that dainty menials spurn
The fair young girl has made her own;
Her heart shall teach, her hand shall learn
Che tolls the duties yet unknown.
So Love and Death in doubtful strife
Stand face TO face from day TO day,
Still battling for the Prize OF Life
While the slow seasons creep away.
Love conauers Death; the prize is won;
See TO her Joyous bosom pressed
The duskv dat .,lter OF the sum-
The bronze against the marble breast!
Her task is done: no voice divine
Has crowned her deed with sanity fame;
No eve can see the aurcUla shine
That rings her brow with heavenly flame.
Yet what has holy page more sweet,
Or what had woman 5 love more fair
When Mary ciasped her Saviours feet
With flowing eyes and streaming hairs
Meek child of sorrow. walk unknown,
