VIOLA.
Childhood and its Visitors.
ny SIR EDWARD BULwER LUTON.

ny SIR EDWARD BULwER LUTON.
Once on a time, when sunny May
Was kissing up the April showers,
/ saw fair childhood hard at play
Before bank OF blushing flowers.
Happy-he knew now whence or how
And smilng--who could choose but love him'
For not more glad was Childhoods brow
Was the gay heaven that laughed above him.
Old time came hobblng in his wrath,
And that green vally's calm invadsd;
The brooks grew dry beneath his path,
The birds were mute, the lilies faded;
Grecian tomb stood full in sight,
Andthat old Time began to batter,
But Childhood watched his paper kite,
Nor needed he, one whit the matter.
With curling lip, and eve askance,
Guilt gazed upon the scene a minute,
But Childhood's archIy simple glance
Had such a holy spell within it,
That the dark demon to the air
Again spread forth its baf1ed pininns,
Andhid his envy and despair,
selftoItured, in his own dominion
Then stepped gloomy phantom up,
Pale. cypress-crowned, nights woeful daughter
And proffered'him fearful cup,
Fullto the brim of bitter water: ..F
Says Childhood: MADAM what your names"
And when the beldame uttered SORROW"
Then cried: "Dontlinterrupt my game,
Iprithee call! again tomorrow"
The music of pindua thifber came
And wooed him with the softest Numbers
That ever scattered wealth and fame
Upon ayoutiful poets slumbers.
Though sweet the Tyre and sweet the lay,
To Childhood II was all a riddle;
"Good gracious ~ cried he, 'send away
That noisy woman with iddle!''
Then Wisdom Stole'his bat and ball, o..
And taught him with most sage endeavor
Why bubbles rise and acorns fall,
And why no joy may last forever;
She talks ofa the wonderous laws
Which Natures open book discloses;
But Childhood, when he made pause, ..
Was fast asleep among the roses
Sleep on sleep on pale manhood's dreams
Are all Of earthly pain pleasure; ....
or glory's tolls, ambitions schemes, r..
Ofcherished love or boarded treasure;
But to the couch, where Childhood lies,
Apure unmingled trance is given,
Lit up by rays from seraph's eyes,
And glimpses from remembered heavenl

BE Truthful, Always.

This little story, copied form all ex.
change paper, is excellent. Read it,
boys, and take Its lessons well toheart.
"Two country lads came at an early
hour to a market town, and arranging
their little stands, sat Gown to wait for
customers. One was furnished with
fruits and vegetables of the boys own
raising, and the other supplied with
clans and fish. The market hours
passed along, and each little merchant
saw with pleasure his store steadily de-
creasing, and an equivalent of silver
bits shining in his little money cup
The last melon lay on Hary's stand,
when gentleman came by, and pla-
cling his hand upon it, said: "What a
fine large melon l think 1 must have
this for my dinner. What do you ask
for it my boy"
s'The melon is the last I have, sir,
and though it looks very fair there is
an unsound spot on the other side,''
said the boy, turning it over.
$50 there is" said the man. 81
think will not take it. Butt he adj
ded, looking into the boys fine open
countenance, sis it very business like
to point out the defects of your fruits
to customers 'a -r.r.
cit is better than being dishonest,
SIR" said the boy modestly.
''You are right, my little fellow al
ways remember that principle, and
you will find favor with God, and man
also. You have nothing else l wish
for this morning, but l shall remember
your little stand in future. Are those
CLAIMS fresh?" he continued, turning to
Ben Wilson's stand. .s"
eyes, sir; fresh this morning.
caught them MYSELF was the reply
and purchase being made, the gen
tleman went away.
''Harry, what fool you was to show
the gentleman that spot IN the melon.
Now, you can take it home for your
pains, or throw it away. How much
wiser is he about these CLAIMS caught
yesterday? Sold them for the same
price 1 did the fresh ones. He would
never have looked at the melon until
he had gone away"
s'Ben, I would not tell lie, or act
one either, for twice what I have
earned this morning. Besides I shall
be better off in the end, for l have
gained a customer, and you have lost
one"
And so it proved, for the next day
the gentleman bought nearly all his
fruit and vegetables of Harry, but new
er invested another penny at the stand
of his neighbor. Thus the season
passed; the gentleman finding he
could always get good article OF
Harry, continually patronized him, and
sometimes talked with him few min
utes about his future hopes and pros
poets. To become a merchant was
his great ambition, and when the
Winter came on, the gentleman want
ing a trusty boy for his store, decided
on giving the place to Harry. Steadi-
ly and surely he advanced in the con-
fidence of his employer, until, having
passed through various gradations of
clerkship, he became at length an
honored partner in the firm.
