DESERTED

How sad, how much more desolate than death
ITSELF must be the heart that realizes the fact that
it has showered all its wealth of love upon treach
erous object upon one who rifles tire flowers Of ones
life of their sweets and then, like bee, wings of
to rifle other life-fowers. Twas such heart,
robbed, that sung:
The river flowed with the light on its breast,
And the waves were eddying by;
And the round, red sun went down in the West,
When my loves loving lips to my lips were prest
Under the evening sky,
Now weeping alone by the river stray,
For my love has left me this many day;
Left me to droop and die.
As the river flowed then, the river flows still,
In ripple, and foam, and spray,
On by the church, and round BY the hill,
And under the sluice by the old burnt mill,
And out to the fading day;
But love it no more, for delight grows cold
When the song is sung and the tale is told,
And heart is given away.
Oh river run far Oh river, run fast!
Oh weeds float on to the sea
For the sun has gone down on my beautiful past,
And the hope, that like bread on the waters cast,
Have drifted away like theel
So the dream it is fed and the day it is done,
And my lips will murmur the name of one
Who will never come back to me.

SMALL CoURTEsIEs.-I want to tell you
secret. The way to make yourself
pleasant to others is to show them atten
ton. The whole world is like the Miller
at Mansfield, who cared for nobody-no,
not he, because nobody cared for him.
And the whole world would serve you 50
if you gave them the same cause. Let
every one, therefore, see that you do care
for them, by showing them the small
courtesies, in which there is no parade,
whose voice is still to please, and which
manifest themselves by tender and affec-
tionate looks and little acts Of attention,
giving the preference in every little en-
ioyment at the table, in the field, walking,
sitting or standing.

The Two L1vEs.-Beautiful is old age,
beautiful is the slow, dropping, mellow au-
tumn of a rich and glorious summer. In
the old man, nature has fulfilled her work /;
she loads him with the fruits of we'll
spent life; and surrounded by his chill
dren's children, she rocks him softly away
to a grave to which he is followed with
blessings. God forbid we should not call
it beautiful, but not the most beautiful
There is another life, hard, rough and
thorny, trodden with bleeding feet and
aching brow; the life of which the cross
is the symbol; battle which no peace
follows this side of the grave, which
the grave gapes to finish before the victo-
ry is won; and, strange that it should be
so, this is the brightest life of man. Look
along the great names of history; there
are none whose life has been other than
this.

OLD MA1Ds.-A sprightly writer ex-
presses his opinion of old maids in the fol-
lowing manner: II am inclined to think
that many of the satirical aspersions cast
upon old maids tell more to their credit
than is generally imagined. Is woman
remarkably neat in her person? She will
certainly be an old maid. Is she particu-
larly reserved toward the other sex? She
has all the squeamishness Of an old maid.
Is she frugal in her expenses and exact in
her domestic concerns She is cut out
for an old maid. And if she is kindly hu-
name to the animals about her, nothing
can save her from the appellation of an
old maid. In short, I have always found
that neatness, modesty, economy and hu-
manity are the never failing characteris-
tics of that terribly abused creaturc-an
old maid"
