Still my heart with kindness beaming-
Glad when other hearts are glad
And my eyes tear drop fndeth
At the sight Of others sad.
All ! be kind-life hath ne secret
For our happiness like this;
Kindly hearts are seldom sad ones,
Blessings ever briugeth bliss;
Lend helping hand to others
Smile thou all the world should frown,

Man is man, through all gradations,
Little wrecks it where he stands,

Man is man by form and feature,
Man by voice and virtue too
Man in all one common nature
Speaks and bids Us to be true.

HISTORICAL LESSONS,

The North was made to yeiid under tie

In 1876, Texas was annexed. and the

Great Shepherd of souls hath gathered you

unuiterable kindness and tender mercy, and
dedicate the remaining moments of your
life to the honor of His name. Ny soul
salutes you in the Gospel of peace, and
wishes your establishment in righteousness,
that you may abide the fry trial of your
faith throughout the days of your pilgrim-
age here on earth and become as fixed pill

Two brown heads, with tossing eurls,
Red lips shutting over pearls,
Bare feet white and wet with dew,
Two eyes black and two eyes blue;
Little boy and girl were they
Katie Lee and Willie Grey.
They were standing where brook,
Bending like shepherds crook,
Flashing its silver, and thick ranks
OF green willows lined the banks;
Half in thought and half in play
Katie Lee and Willie Grey.
They had cheeks like cherries red.
He was taller-'most q head
She, with arms like fakes of snow,
Swinging basket to and fro,
As she loitered, halfin play,
chattering to Willie Grey.
Pretty Katie, Willie said,
And there came 9 flush of red
Through the BROWNIES of his cfleek-- :
Boys are strong, and girls are week,
And I'll carry, 80 will,
Katie's basket up the hill.
Katie answered, with q LAUGH,
You shall carry only half;
And, then, tossing back her curls-
BOYS are weak as we'll as girls
De you think that Katie guessed
Half the wisdom she expressed
Men are only boys grown tall.
Hearts don't change much, after all
And when, long years from that day,
Katie Lee and Willie Grey
Stood again beside that brook,
Bending like shepherds er1oE.-
1t is strange that Willie said,
While again fash Of red
Crossed the BROWNIES of his cheek,
am strong, and you are week
Life is but slippery step,
Hung with shadows cold and deep
Will you trust me, Katie, dear
Walk beside me without fear I
May l carry, if will,
All your burdens up the hill
And she answered. with laugh,
No, but you may carry half
Close beside the little brook.
Running like a shepherds crook,
Washing with its silver hands,
Late and early at the sands,
Is a cottage, where. to day.
Katie lives with Willie Grey.
In the porch she sits. and lol
Swings basket to and fro,
Vastly different from the one
That she swung in years agcne;
This is long-and deep-and wide
And has-rockers at the side !!
