MARY.-Who does not love the plain,
yet beautiful name, Mary? 1t is from
the Hebrew, and means "tear-drop."
What sweet and joyous hours Of other
dnys-what pleasing associations that
very name calls up in every heart? Who
knows i'll Of Mary? Who that does not
love the name, and has not had every lig-
ament Of his heart moved to melody at
its mention? II there be anything gen.
tle valued and womanly, what Mary pos
sesses it not? Was it not Mary who was
"last at the cross and earliest at the
grave?" And was not Mary the mother
Of the Saviour of the World? Blessed
be the name of Mary!

Harry and 1.
We stood where the snake-like ivy
Climbed over the meadow bars,
And watched, as the young night sprinklrd
The sky with her crcam-hke stars.
TIE clover was red beneath uS-
The air had the smell of june
The cricket chirped in the grasses,
And the sOft rays Of the moon
Drew our shadows out on the meadow,
Distorted, and lank, and tall
His shadow was kissing my shadow
That was the best Of all
Ny heart leAPed up as he whispered,
Il love you, Margery Lee"
For then one arm Of his shadow
Went round the shadow Of me.
Il love you, Margery, darling,
Because you are young and fair,
For your eyes bewildering bluencss,
And the gold Of your curly hair
No queen has hands that are ~hiter,
No lark has voice so sweet,
And your ripe young lips are rrdaeT
o., Than the clover at your feet.
"My heart will break with its fullness,
Like cloud o'rrchargcd with rain;
o tell me, Margery, darling,
How long | must love in vain :"
With bushes and smiles answered-
Iwill not tell what)-just then
saw that his saucy shadow
Was kissing my own again.
He promised to love me only
promised to love but him
Till the FtoeR fell eHt II the -hearRns,-
And the stars with age grew dim
Oh, the strength of man i devotion! ----.
oh, the vows that woman speaks!
'Tis years since that bhlsh Of rapture
Broke Tedly over my cheeks.
He found gold that was brighter
Than that Of my floating curls, -.-.-...
And married cross-eyed widow,
With dozen grown-up girls.
And Ibid pine and languish'
Did weep my blue eyes Sore
Or break my heart, do you fancy,
For love that was mine no more'
stand tonight in the meadow
Where Harry and stood then,
And the moon has drawn two shadows
Out over the grass again.
And low voice keeps repeating
-S So ciote to my startled ear,
That the shadows melt together
al love you, Margcry, dear"
I" TITS not for your cheeks red crimson.
And not for your eyes soft blue,
But because your heart is tender,
And noble, and pure and true"
The voice lie dearer than Harry'S;
And so I'm glad, you see,
He married the crosS-eyed widow
Instead Of MatgCry Lee.
