Not Of the earth nor its beautiful flowers
no. oI the days that dawn wholly in bloom,
Not of the June-hme, nor cool dropping showers,
But in my heart hath shadow found room
Never so sweet grew the blossoming clover,
Roses so bright, or May-pinks so fair,
OlIy my own Life the cloud hangeth over,
Leaving chill on the still Summer air.
AL day it Launts me, a sorrowful guest,
Binding my eyes to the beauty and light,
Stirring my dreams with a lively unrest,
Over my head it hovers each night.
This is the shadow whose lingering trace
Memory will keep through the fast gliding years,
Two wayen hands, and wee patient face,
Seen for the last through rain mist Of tears.
In the green valley, he sleepeth to-day
Pure little gem in his babyhood blest
Earth is at best such wearisome way
Happy the heart which goes early to rest
Oh! this strong mother-loye, why was it given?
Up from my soul comes the passionate cry,
Say shall We learn in His beautiful heaven
Why our lost darlings were given to die.

How TO CURE BACHELOR IDIosYNCRAsIEs.
Eccentric bachelors, if you want to be
cured of your oddities. and become polished
Christians, marry. You, sir, with the
slouching gait, the pocketed hands, the i'll
tailored frame, just pair off with a neat,
smart little damsel, who has an eye for the
picturesque, and before the honeymoon is
over, she will so transfgure you that you
shall scarcely know yourself in the looking
glass. Beauty and the Beast is no fable.
Many I" monster" has been tranformed
into a gentleman by the necromantic in
fuence of a pretty woman. You, Sir MIN
rod, whose talk is of double guns and set
ters, of deer. shooting on the Adirondack or
moose-hunting in the Canada wilds, do you
wish to be civilized and socialized? Doubt
less you do. In your leisure moments the
talk, game-talk, is not the vernacular of an
pleased to call "sport," is not the chief end
of man. Marry true gentlewoman, sir, if
you can persuade one to venture on you, and
she will soon divorce you from dog and
fowling piece, and make you as gentle and
biddable a cavalier as ever shawled lady
at ball or opera. Even the miser may be
won from his golden pagod by generous
wife, though it must be confessed that of all
eccentricities, the greed of riches is the most
difficult to eradicate.
The fact is that every eccentric bachelor
is like helmless ship that has yawed more
or less out of her proper course A good
wife's advice is the tiller that he needs to
bring his head around, and steer him safely
and happily over the sea of life.

Sour GRAPEs.-A friend related to us one
morning scene in school room which we
think will do to publish and is too good to
keep. 1t is the custom in the school to read
a moral lesson each morning, when the
teacher questions the scholars on what has
been read. The day our friend visited the
school the lesson was in regard to the taking
of fruit, and was a sort of narrative in which
it was stated teacher had told his class not
to touch the fruit which grew in neigh.
boring orchard, but to wait until it was per.
fectly ripe and they should all have share of
it. They all disobeyed the command with the
exception of one little girl, she alone refrain
ing from touching the fruit. The first ques-
ton asked by the teacher was
(which did right, the little girl or the
others of the class ?"
The unanimous answer was:
The little girl"
The next question was:
"Why did not the little girl also take the
fruit?'
This appeared to puzzle the class, and for
long time no one was ready to answer
At length little fellow at the bottom Of the
class held up his hand, which was equiva-
lent to saying that he could give the answer.
He was told to proceed, when he astonished
the teacher and couvulsed our friend by ex-
claiming:
'' Pleath, sir, she wath too little to reach
the fruit ~
