THE WINTERS.

By FRANCES BROWN.
We did not fear them once--the dull grey
mornings
No cheerless burdens on our spirits laid;
The long night watches did notbring us warn
ings
That we were tenants Of a house decaved;
The early SHOWS like dreams TO us descended
The frost did lairy-work on pane and bough
Beauty, and power, and wonder have not end
ed
How is Il that we fear the Winters now1
Thohouse-fros fall as bright on hearth and
chamber,
The northern starlight shines as coldly
clear;
The woods still keep their holly for Defenders
The world welcome yet for the new year
And far away In old remembered places
The esnow-drop rises and the robin sings;
The sun and moon look ont with loving faces
Why have our days forgot such goodly
things1
Is Il that now the North wind finds us shaken
BY temPests fercer than the biter
Which fair beliefs and friendships, too, hav,
taken
Away like summer foliage as they passed.
A nd made life lcahsss in It's pleasant valleys,
Waning tho ightoC promise from our day
Fell mists meet even in the inward palace
A dimness not like theirs TO pass away1
Il was not hus when dreams Of love and lau-
re5
Gave 6unshino TO the Winters Of our youth
Before its hopes had fallen In fortunes quarrels
Or time had bowed them with its heavy
truth
Ere yet the twIlights found us grange anc
lonely,
With shadows coming when the fire burns
low,
To tell Of distant graves and losses ouv--
The past that cannot change and will not 60
Alas! dear friends, the Winter is within us!
Hard is the ice that grows about the hsurt
For petty cares and vain redress have won al
From life's true heritage aud better part.
Seasons and skies rejoice! yea, worship rather
But nations toll and tremble even as we,
Hoping for harvCsts they Will uevor gather

The Cook who Doesn't Like Poaso.
A GAME FOR CHILDREN.

A GAME FOR CHILDREN.
The leader Of the game puts the following
question to the assembled players in succession:
"My cook doesn't like peas; what shall we
give her TO eat2"
"a player suggests "turnips." "Poiatocs,"
''a pirce of bread, ""chops," ga penny roll, ="
"pori," &c.
TO all these the qucsronar replies, "She
does hot like them lor iu--pay a forfeit"
Another proposes ''carrots,' "dry breud,''
"brrr," mutton" &C., the answer to any OF
which is:
"Thot will suit her," and the queslioner
PAYS forfeit.
If only two or three are In the secret, the
game proceeds fer some time to the intense
mystifcation Of the players, whe have no iden
what they have said 10 incur or escape tho pen
allies ltdepends unon play OF words. Tue
cook not liking "P s." the players must avoid
giving an answnr i'm which that letter occurs.
As the same proeosilon must not be repeated
twice, even who are in the secret are sometimes
entruppsd; the answer they have resolved on,
being enstalled by another player, they have
no time Tor consideration.

Why EvERBoDY Is CRO-s.-One
day little John Wilson came running
into the house where his sister Mary
was sewing. He held something in his
hand which he had found in the back
yard.
"Oh, sister Maryr" said he, 81 have
found a pretty thing. 1t is a piece
of red glass; and when I looked through
it, everything looked red too. The
trees, the houses, the green grass, your
face and everything is red"
Mary replied, eyes, it is very beau
tiful; and let me show you how to learn
a useful lesson from it. You remember,
the other day, you Thought every per-
son was cross to you. Now you were
like this piece of glass, which makes
everything red, because Il is red. You
were cross, so you thought everybody
around you was cross, too. If you are
in good humor, and kind to every one,
they will seem kind to you"

Reading is one of the
greatest consultations of life; it is the
nurse of virtue, the upholder in adver-
sity; the strengthener of elevated opin-

shield against the tyranny Of the petty
passions; it is the repeller of the fools
scof and the knave's poison.

One Hour

There was once lad, who, at four
teen, was apprentice to a soap boiler
One of his resolutions was to read one
hour a day, or at least at that rate, and
he had an old silver watch, left him by
his uncle, by which he timed his read
ing. He stayed seven years with his
master, and his master said, when he
was tWenty-oue, that he knew as much
as the old Squire did. Now, let us see
how much time he had to read ia seven
years, at the rate of an hour a day 1t
would be twenty-five hundred and fifty
FIVE hours, which, at the rate of eight
reading hours a day, would be three
hundred and nineteen days, equal to
forty five weeks-eleveu months-noar-
ly O years reading. That time spent in
treasuring up useful knowledge would
pile up a very large store. 1 am sure it
is worth trying for Try what you can

EFFECT OF TOBACCO ON THE Mourn.
Both smoking and chewing produce
marked alterations in the most express
i've features Of the face. The lips are
closed by a circular muscle, which COM
pletely surrounds them and forms their
pUlpy fullness. Now, every muscle Of
the body is developed in precise ratio
with its use, as most young men know
who endeavor to develop and increase
their muscles in the gymnasium. In
splitting and holding the cigar in the
mouth, this muscle is in constant use;
hence the coarse appearance and irregu-
lar development of the lips, when com
pared to the rest of the features, in
chewers and smokers. The eye loses its
natural fire, and becomes dull and lurid;
it is unspeculative and unappreciative;
it answers not before the word, its own
er gazes vaoantly, and often repels con-
