Earlh's Tired Children.

How often, ON the long summer day, the
little child grows weary Of its toys, weary Of
its sports, and turns to its mother for rest
Sometimes the shadows are lengthening; Of
tentimes the sun has not reached its MONDAY
splendor But it matters not the tired
child wants rest. And what are we all, but
children of a larger GROWTH Who is there
that at some time does not weary of the way.
and long for rest? The aged one, who has
Travelled over Life's stony and thorn-strewed
pathway until the shadows have grown so long
that they extend almost beyond the reach of
his dimmed vision,--how like tired child
he sinks down, wishing for rest, weary of
earth and all its pleasures, which, to his old
age, seem only as a child's toys to the mature
man.
Often, too, those whose lives have been
saddened and embittered by the trials of EARTH
grow weary, even before they reach the me-
ridian Of life and long for BETTER more
abiding rest Earthly pleasures have paled
upon their senses, and like the fruit Of the re-
gion of the Dead Sea, have turned to ashes
on their lips and as the child, grown weary
Of his sports throws himself down to rest,
wishing he were man, so they turn their
hearts from earth with longing for some
thing beyond, something which win not perish
with the using Too often, alas they know
not how to satisfy these cravings of their inn
mortal natures. They turn again to feed on
husks, regardless of the bread Of Heaven,
which alone will quell these hungerings, aud

Looking ont Cor slights.

There are some people who are always look
ing out for sights. They cannot pay visit,
they cannot even receive a friend, they can
not carry on the daily intercourse of the fam
ly, without suspecting some ohensc is de-
signed. They are as touchy as har-triggers.
If they meet an acquaintance in the street
who happens to be pre-occupied with business
they attribute his abstraction to some motive
personal to themselves, and take umbrage ac-
cordingly. They lay on others the fault of
their own irritabiity A fit of Indigestion
makes them see impertincnce in every body
they come in contact with. Innocent persons
who never dreamed of giving ofIeuse, are as
tonished to find some unfortunate word, or
some momentary thciturnfty, mistaken for an
insult To say the least, the habit is unfor-
tunate. Ii is far wiser to take the more
charitable view of our fellow beings, and not
suppose slight is intended, unless the neg
ect is open and direct After all, too, life
takes its hue, in great degree, from the col
or of our own mind. If we are frank and
generous, the world treats us kindly. If, on
the contrary we are suspicious, men learn to
be cold and cautious TO US. Let person get
the reputation Of being touchy, and everybody
is under more or less restraint and in this
way the chances of an imaginary ofense are
vastly increased. People who fire up easily
miss deal Of happiness. Their jaundiced
tempers destroy their own comfort, as well as
that of their friends They have forever
some iancicd slight to brood over. The sun.
ny, serene contentment Of less selfish DISPOSE
tions never visits them.

Lost Little Ones.

Looking at each other across the river
across the valley, are the white stones that
mark the sleeping places of our dead The
little brown mounds grow more frequent in
the village cemeteries, and sad professions
have, Of late, with mournful frequence, wound
up the path to the resting place where the
cradles now without rockers, lie silent and
dumb,
The tiny soul-buds, just sottening and
swelling in the sunshine Of paternal love, just
throwing the dinpled tendrls around oui
necks, and tumbling sweet, broken syllables
in our ears, are, with one gust Of snow, swept
away and hidden in the ground. There are
the empty chairs, the silent playthings, the
little dress, limp for the want of the little
form, and the crumpled shoes that will be
dented no more with pattering feet; all
wreathed with sad remembrances Of the hap.
