ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL.-Ata festival
party of old and young, the question
was asked, which season,of life is the
most happy? After being freely dis
cussed by the guests, it was referred
for answer to the host, upon whom was
the burden of four score years. He
asked if they had noticed a grove Of
trees before the dwelling, and said:-
When the spring comes and in the
soft air the buds are breaking on the
trees and they are covered with bios
SONS, ] think, how beautiful is spring!
And when the summer comes, and
covers the trees with its foliage, and
singing birds are among all the
branches, think, how beautiful is
summer! When autumn loads them
with golden fruit, and their leaves
bear the gorgeous tint of frost, / think,
how beautiful is autumn! And when
it is neither foliage nor fruit, l look up,
and through the leafiess branches as
never could until now, see the stars
shine through.

culturist last summer required a num-

selves, and all were engaged with one
exception. The POOR man thus omitted,
said:
master, won't you hire me ?"
NO." said the farmer.
"Why not ?"
Because you are too little"
"Too little !" exclaimed the astonish-
ed Irishman; "does your Honor reap
your grain at the top?"
What could farmer c. do but
roar with laughter, and send the little
man to join his comrades in the field?

Had left it ever more.

Had left it ever more.
1t is not home as once twas,
And will be never more;
What goes out with our parents lives
Re-enters meier the door.
The reaper, Death, has harvested
The joys that once were mine;
In sorrow and in loneliness
Pm left to moan and pine.
XIV.
Such is the way of this rude world,
All tainted with decay;
How lonesome is the old home now
will not, cannot, stay!
O were it not for that bright Home,
That hope of heavenly rest,
Life like a burden long ago
Had on my spirit press'd
But Faith my feet lights on the way
To reach that country blest.
XVI.
There is a mansion beautiful,
Th' eternal Father-hOme
No wand'erer from that happy land
Is ever seen to roam
No mother weeps for wayward child,
No father for her grieves;
No world is that like this
Where every JOY deceives.
There Life Eternal cOnquer5 Death.
And Heaven the victory gives.
XVII.
All! there we'll find what here is lost
And will fore'er possess,
There live our dead, in light and love,
And endless happiness.
How oft think upon that Rest,
When weary, sad, with care;
And wish 'twere only Jesus will
To bear me sooner there.
But l shall bide my hour, and then,
The summons I'll not rue,
I'll gladly take the Saviour's hand
And bid the world adieu!
