There is many rest IN The road Of life,
II We would only stop to take it.;
Aud many tone from the better land.
II the qucrulous heart would make it
10 the sunny soul that Is full Of hope.
And whose beautiful trust nc'er iailcth.
The grass Is green and the flowers are bright
Though tlle winter storm pfcyailcth.
Better TO hope, though the clouds hang low
And TO keep the eyes still lifted;
for the sweet blue sky will soonpcrp through
When the ominOus clouds are rifted
There was never q night without q day,
Or an evening without n morning
And the darkest hour, as the proyerb goes.
Is the hour before the dawning.
There Is many q gem In the path of life.
Which we pass in our idle pleasure.
That IS richer FAR than the iewcilcd crown
Or the miser's boarded treasure:
lt mny hc the love ola little child.
Or mother prayers 10 heaven,
oronly bergnr grateful thanks
For cup OF water given.
Better TO weave in the web of life
bright and golden filling,
And % do Gods will with ready heart.
And hands chat are ready and willing.
Than 90 snap the delicate, minute threads
or our curious lives asundcr.
And then blame Heaven for the tangled ends
And sit and grieye anl wIuior. ~

InE FAsmoNMGs YoUNG MaN.-Harper's Ba-
sar, speaking in defence Of that sex which is 50
often accused Of extravaganza in dress, turns the
tables by describing the brother Of the fashionable
young lady. It says
OF course he smokes, plays billiards, and scorns
teetotaiism. With cigars at quarter of dol
lnr elch, dozen day for himself and friends is
moderate ailowance-toal three dollars day.
With billiards at fifty cents a game, and the ac-
cenpanying liquors, he would not be likely to
speni less than five dollars every time be INDUCED
in this prc-eninently hcaltlful exercise: and the
" drinks, which cement modern friendship, at
every chance meeting, will fill up the remainder
OF the ten dollars per diem expended in these in
nOcont pleasures Dress, dinners, fast horses,
and amusements will certainly double this sum,
and supply amy blanks in the first calculation.

dicted 10 betting, gambling, and kindred vices,

than 10 the diamonds, lacos, or camel 's-hair

thousand a year wherewith his sister can barely

Mas. CotrM.-A writer in Hacpar's Bazaar
gives this pleasant description of the bride of the
Vice President elect
She is Just thirty-two, and not ashamed of her
age She is not tall, nor short, nor stout, but
will average 40 pounds. She is not handsome,
but good looking. She is quiet, reserved, re-
pressed, selfpoised, and sclt-controlled To re-
markable degree. But you think Of her, that still
waters run deep. She seems TO have had life
quiet country town, village, and farm liie--that
has not been congcnial, or rather has not drawn
her out at all and her repressed manner and ma
ture are due possibly to this. There Is no gush,
no brilliancy, no show no exuberance in manner,
appearance, and style. Her new life will bring
her OUT but she has nothing Of what is called
society manners, and will make no impression
ipon the multitude. Eastidious and feminine 10
a very high and rare degree in one Of such expe-
renco, she is a most admirable selection for a
wife for Mr.. Coliix--sweet true, self-adiusted
woman, with younger heart than | ever saw at
thirty odd years, who never would make a career
for herself but would accept and fill whatever
place came to her in the way Of duty.

The Seed and the Sewers.

Ever IN little the seed may be-
Ever 50 little the hand
But whom it ~ sOwn il must grow, You sce.
And develop It's nature, weed, flower, or tree
The sunshine, the air, and the dew are free
At its command
If the seed be good, we rejoice ia hope
OF the harvest it will yield.
We wait and watch for It's springing mp,
Admire its growth, and count on the crop
That will come from the little seeds we drop
In the great wide field.
But II we hcedlcssy scatter wide
Seeds we may happen 10 find
We care not for culture or what may betide,
We sow here and there on the highway side +:
Whether they've lived or whether they've died
We never mind.
Yet every s0wer must one day reap
Fruit from the seed he has sown
How carefully then it becomes us 10 keep
a wntchlul eye on the seed, and seek
To slw what is good, that we may not weep
To receive our own.
