Within week, John Growers house
caught fire from some defect in the
chimney, which, contrary to his wife's
advice, he didn't think it worth attend
ing to, and in short time that and
the out buildings which were at lit
tie distance, were heap of ruins.
Fifteen hundred dollars gone in one
night!
John Grover bitterly repented that
he had not insured his buildings. This
last severe lesson completed his refor-
nation. With the aid of thousand
dollars. which lis neighbor Fairfield
was in situation to lend him, he put
up new buildings, and from that time
adopted more liberal policy. At the
end of ten years, in spite Of his loss
by fire, was worth nearly twice as
much as if he had adhered to his old
notions of economy.

From Blackwood's Magazine
Little Rose.

She comes with fairy footsteps
Softly their echoes fall;
And her shadow plays like a summer shade
Across the garden wall;
The golden lights are dancing bright,
Mid the mazes of her hair,
And her fair young locks are waving free
To the wooing Of the air.
Like sportful fawn she boundeth
So gleefully along;
As wild young bird she caroleth
The burden of song;
The summer flowers are clustering thick
Around her dancing feet,
And on her cheek the summer breeze
Is breathing soft and sweet.
The very sunbeams seems to linger
Above that holy head,
And the wild-howers, at her coming,
Their richest fragrance shed.
And oh, how lovely light and fragrance
Mingle in the life within!
Oh how fondly do they nestle
Round the soul that knows no sin.
She comes, the spirit of childhood
A thing of mortal birth;
Yet bearing still the breath of heaven
To redeem her from the earth;
She comes in bright-robed innocence,
Unsoilcd by blot or blight,
And passeth by our wayward path,
A glcam of angel light.
Oh, blessed things are childrenl
The gifts of heavenly love-
They stand betwixt our world-hearts,
And better things above;
They. link us with the spirit-worid
BY purity and truth,
And keep our hearts still fresh and young
With the presence of their youth
