Contentment.

The great secret of true happiness
is contentment. Contentment with our
lot-a determination on our part to
fully appreciate what real comforts we
do enjoy, and to be grateful for them
to neither envy others on account OF
greater cause of happiness we may
fancy them to possess, or to repine and
make ourselves miserable because it is
out of our power to obtain them.
Whatever may chance to be our lot
in this world, we should be contented
with it. If we are poor we may, If we
please. by our own industry and perse-
verance, better our condition the pros
pect is open before us; we may after a
time reap the rich rewards of our tolls
and exertions. We might become rich,
yet then might be as unhappy and dis
contented with our situation as before
an increase Of prosperity would but
bring with it an increase OF care and
anxiety, that we before were a stranger
to. Or if we were situated prosperously
i'm life, our wealth might prove a curse
instead of blessing to us, as it does
to thousands; by it we might acquire
habits of extravaganza, highly injurious
and preiudicial to ourselves. If re.
verse of fortune should overtake, us.

The Playmate.
By JOHN O.. SAKE.


The pines were dark on Ramoth hill,
Their song was soft and low;
The blossoms in the sweet May wind
Were falling like the snow.
The blossoms drifted at our feet,
The orchard birds sang clear;
The sweetest and the saddest day
1t seemed of all the year.
For, more to me than birds or flowers,
My playmate left her home,
And took with her the laughing Spring,
The music and the bloom.
She kissed the lips Of kith and kin,
She laid her hand in mine;
What more could ask the bashful boy
Who fed her fathers kline.
She left us in the bloom of May;
The constant years told DER
The seasons with as sweet May morns,
But she came back no more.
walk, with noiseless feet, the round
OF nneventful years;
Still DER and Ger sow the spring
And reap the autumn ears.
She lives where all the golden year
Her summer roses blow; t'
The dusty children of the sun
Before. her come and 60.
There happily with her jewsled hands
She smoothes..her silken gown
No more the homespun law wherein
shook the walnuts down.
The wild grapes wait us by the brook,
The brown..nuts on the.hill,
And still the May y-day flowers make sweet
The woods of Follymill.
The lilies blossom in the pond,
The bird builds in the tree,
The dark pines sing on Ramoth hill
The slow song of the sea.
l wonder if she thinks of them,
And how the old time SEEMS
If ever the pines of Ramoth wood
Are sounding in her dreams.
/ see her face, l hear her voice,
Does she remember mine?
And what to her is now the boy
That fed her fathers kim
What cares she that the orioles build
For other eyes than ours,
That other hands with nuts are filled,
And other laps with flowers?
O playmate in the golden time!
Our messy seat is green,
It's fringing violsts blossom yet,
The old trees DER it lean.
The wines so sweet with birch and fern
A sweeter memory blow;
And there in Spring the veeries sing
The song of long ago.
And still the pines of Ramoth wood
Are moaning like the sea-
The moaning of the sea Of change
Between myself and thee!

half mile distant, where he applied
his utmost strength to what Isabel took
for huge rock, when it began gently
to move; then, without any seeming
effort, to swing open, leaving space
sufficiently large to admit horse.
Chalmers entered, followed by Isabel
who shuddered as her companion step

the entrance, telling her to stand still
and not be frightened. .ai H ~
