LISTEN NELLIE LISTEN.


oh, listen Nellie, listeni While sing TO thee
OF love-
The sweetest feeling known on .earth,--the no.
iest aboyel
And, as the flowers the gentle rain, or evenings
- balmy dew
So is thy love to me Nellie:-is my love oto soa?
Then listen Lady, listen For my Heart is all
With love for gentle Nellie,-for her its NUM-
m bers flow.
Asthe pure stream outgushing from amorntain' s
rocky side,
So my love to thee, is flowing, in a neycr-ccas-
ing tide:
Or, as earth is bathed in sunlight, when no
clouds are seen. above,
So my soul, it basketh ever, in the sunshine of
thy love.
Then listen Lady, listen, For my heart is all
aglow, 3
With love for gentle Nellie, for her its num-
bers flow.
But It's said that love all ceaseth. fifth heart is
naked seen,
That enchantment soon is banished, by its ugly
frightful mein:-
lis false, my gentle Nellie, for if mine were
80 barred to view,
1t would nothing show that's frightful,-for
there's nothing there but you
Then listen Lady, listen. For my heart is all
aglow
With love for gentle Nellie, for her its num-
bers flow.
And now my dearest Nellie, my fingers quit
the strings,
And I'll all enraptured listen, while my charm
ing Nellie sings,
With voice of far more sweetness, than the song
H sters in the grove
While she singeth just to please me, this my
little song of love,
am list'ning Nellie, list 'ningl-and my heart
is all agIow,
With love for gentle Nellie, as she singeth
sweet and low. W. c.. W,

FANNY Praycr-.Anecd0t of a
Coed Wife.

1t is no uncommon thing for Christian
people, under the pressure of worldly bust
ness, to neglect family prayer. The
Christian Herald states that many years
ago, when the country about Cincinnati
was new, Christian farmer who had en-
ployed a number of hands 10 aid him in
clearing his lands, took it in 10 his head
that ho would not have family prayer in
the morning, because the time he would
spend on so many hands was more, he
thought, than he could afford to lose. He
had made up his mind to get rich in haste,
and determined that religion should bend
to business. When he informed his pious
wife of his purpose she expostulated with
him, but in vain. Morning came, and the
workman were hurried TO breakfast, and
hurried out to work without breath of
prayer. @
"The next morning the farmer and his
men went out, as usual, to their work.
The sun began to climb up the sky, but no
breakfast horn was heard. They grew
angry, and looked anxiously toward the
house; they listened, but still the expected
summons did not come. After waiting an
hour or two beyond the usual time, they
went to the house, No table was set, no
coffee was boiling on the fire, no food was
cooking over or before it. The good wife
was knitting qnietly, with the big Bible
open on her lap"
.sWbat does this mean!" cried her hus-
band; 'Why isn't our breakfast ready?"
Il thought you were in such hurry about
your work that you would not have time
to eat"
"Have time to eatp' Do you think we
can live without eating?"
"You can live without eating as well as
without praying. The spirit needs the
bread of heaven as much as the body needs
the bread of earth"
"Well, WE'LL" said the farmer, "get us
some breakfast, as we well have prayers
again every morning; no matter how busy
we are, or how many workmen | have"
"She got the breakfast, and he kept his
word. The lesson was a good one, and
was never forgotten"

Pretty Thoughts.

Wha! is crime? A wretched vagabond
travelling from place to place in fruitless en-
deavor to escape from justice who is engag-
ed in hot pursuit; foe TO poor innocence
whiee is too often made to suffer for the
guilty.
What is thought? A fountain from
which flows all good and evil intentions
a mental flood electrical in the force and
rapidity of its movements, silently flowing
unseen within its avenue-yet it is the con-
trolling power of animated nature, and the
chief handspring Of all our actions.
What is happiness? A butterfly that
royes from flower to flower in the vast gar
den of existance, and which is eagerly pur-
sued by the vain multitude in hope of OBJ
tanning the prize; yet it continually evades
their grasp.
What is fashion9 A beautiful envelope
for mortality, presenting and glittering and
polished exterior, the appearance of which
gives no certain indication of the real value
of what is contained therein.
What is wit? A sparkling beverage
that is highly exhilterating and agreeable
when pertaken of at the expense of others
but when used at our cost it becomes BIT
ter and unpleasant. 30.
"What is knowledge? A key that un-
ravels all mysteries, which unlocks the en-
terance and discovers new, and unseen and
untroden paths in the hitherto unexplored
field of science and literature.
What is fear? A frightful substance TO
the really guilty, but vain and harmless
shadow to the concientious. honest and up
right.
What is joy? The honey of existence
beneficial and agreeable when par
taken of in moderation, but highly injuri-
ous when used to excess.
