B The most perfect. beautiful
winning ard attractive ofall Gods handi-
work, is a little girl. Innocent as a
lamb, sweet as the breath Of a summers
morning, beautiful as an hour, mad pure as
the white robed immortals, her little
heart at all times full of tenderness and
love for all around her--what a pity it
is that she will grow to womanhood, wear
hoops, and, perhaps, become a airt and a

SGS A leading member Of the Presby-
terrain church at New Brighton, Pa, who
is distinguished for his self complacency
and for his patronage Of religion and the
church, commenced q prayer at a revival
meeting tho other day in these words
20, Lord we woald not assume to dictate
to thee, but would only offer a few sugges-
tioas.!' There is considerable praying
that appears to be based upon the idea
that the Almighty needs information and
advice from bis creatures.

Days of My Youth.
BY FINLEY

BY FINLEY JUHNSUNs
The days of my youth have gone forever,
They have fed in the tracks of time,
And no more shall l taste of those sinless joys
Which 1 did in my early prime;
They have passed DER my soul like the breath
of a storm,
And left a whitening trace;
And the burrows of care, and pain and regret,
Can be marked in my alter'd face;
But though they've passed no more to return
Though they have faded and perish'd;
Yet still in the depths of my inmost heart
Their recollections are cherished.

Think of Me.

Farewelll-and never think of me
In lighted hall or lady bower!
Farewell-and never think of me
In spring sunshine or summer hour
But when you see a lonely grave
Just where a broken heart might be,
With not one mourner by its sod,
Then, and then only-rHINK OF ME.

From Life Illustrated
The Dying Exile.

The breeze that fans my burning brow
Is fraught with strange perfume.
And graceful shrubs and palmy trees
Are rich with starry bloom.
But I am dying; YEARLY
The t~hrobbing pulses come
Oh pain! oh widest agony!
To die far, far from home.
What matters it, Maurithus,
To homsick exile's heart,
That the ~clearest brightest jewel
In Britain's crown thou art?
The proud aud peerless beauty
Enthroned on hill and plain,
Like kingly crown on aching brow,
Arguments my weary pain,
At night 1 see the wild cascades
Leap up to meet the stars,
While with their sprayey diamonds
The moon braids silver spars.
Alasl for the +" laughing water"
For the brook with the silvery tone.
Which, like a smile Oh a sad, sweet face,
Cleans brightly and is gone.
In dreams, a soft and cooling hand
Upon my brow is laid;
Sweet kisses fall like blessings,
And kindly words are said.
The vision wanes; clouds close again
Above my one bright star;
My mother, l am dying,
From thee and home so far
All through the hearts dim labyrinth
Sad cords of feeling stray,
Without one kindly guiding hand
To lead them into day;
And memory's sad-eyed rosemarys
Perfume my lonely hours,
But not a hope CLEAN lights my path
From radiant Iris flowers.
They have waited long and wistful
In my own ancestral home,
For the sunny smile of welcoming
From one who meier will come.
Oh, " La Belle Isle" is beautiful,
But fairer far is heaven, :
And mansions there with those beloved
To the exile will be given.

FORGERY BY A DoG.-A large dog had
been accustomed to get bits ofmoney from
his master to go to a meat stall to get his
lunch of fresh meat. One day, when
change was short, his master gave Grow.
Ter a piece Of white paper on which was
an order for the meat. The dog after
much urging, carried it to the meat stall,
when, thinking one piece Of paper as good
as another, he would pick up pieces Of
white paper and carry them TO the meat
stall without applying to his master. 1t
was not long before a large bill came
from the meat dealer, who had such con,
idence in the dog that he did not think
to look at the paper, and the dog himself
was very fat. No arrest was made, and
the dog occupies as respectable position
as ever.-Bangor Union.
