colors, abounded in the groves, Columbus
was quite entranced.
"Cubal" he exclaimed. sTt is the
most beautiful island that eyes ever beheld.
One could live there forever"
He approached several villages, but
the terrified inhabitants had fed to the
mountains, The houses were more subs
stantial than any others Of the natives he
had yet seen. There were many indica-
tions that the inhabitants had attained q
higher civilization than those upon the
smaller islands. Returning to his ship he
again spread his sails, and followed along
the coast, hoping to approach some large
Oriental city. But cape stretched beyond
cape, and headlands melted away beyond
headlands, and nothing met his eye but
the luxuriance and the beauty Of q fairy
creation thronged with an artless and q
happy people. The weather was mild,
and the most delightful serenity pervaded
those peaceful scenes.-J. S. G. ABBOTT,

II will carry few for my friend to see."
And she only stayed at my door to say,
Here are lilies that blossom for you to-day"
i took the gift with glad delight
So sweet, so perfect, so pure and white.
How modestly dropping their eyelids fell,
Like brides, when she waits for the mar
rlage-bell!
How fair they were, In the chalice tall!
They blossomed for beauty and was that
all?
Our Annie came in with tale of woe,
From wretched home in the lanes below.
Little Mary, the pride ofa poor mans breast,
Had folded her hands in eternal rest,
Her robe was coarse, and the room was bare.
And nothing of beauty or light was there,
Then took from the vase my lilies dear
Andgave them the dew of a silent tear;
And parting the fingers pale and thin,
Annie laid the lilies their clasp within.
And her father and mother will think of her so,
Whenever the flowers in the spring-time grew,
The lilies were fair by the garden-wall:
They blossomed for beauty. That was not all !:
For the Father his rain and his sunshine gave
And they opened for Mary to wear In her
grave,
And Eta did more OF His will than she knew
When she said Here are lilies that blossom
for you"

By terms concise and thus defined:
The sunny fields through which wen glide
Nojealous lines shall e'er divide;
Which fields aforesaid all shall claim
Who bear the aforesaid robins name.
The blossom of the apple tree
The lawful prize of bird and bee
That brim the well-flushed cup of air,
The aforesaid children equal share.
Where broadening lawns invite the sun.
BY golden waves ofllght DER run,
With gladsome wing well freely roam
The vagrant robins happy home.

our loving wealth wen there invest.
Wen "search our titles" mid the flowers,
And give our notes" to listening hours
And whereas, debts unpaid may blight.
Presented bills Wen meet at sight,
And whereas, riches flee away
Like mists unclasped from neck ofday.
The homesteads we by toll acquire
Enwrought from twigs and bush and brisr,
Well mortgage only by our love,
Soon paid when bills appear above.

What Trotty thought OF the Baby.
BY MISS L. STUART PHELPS.

BY MISS T.. STUART PHELPS.
81 DON'T think like the looks of it,"
said Trotty, very distinctly.
He meant the baby. 1t was Aunt Mat
thews's baby. Aunt Matthews, and Cous,
in Ginevra, and the baby's nurse, and the
baby's trunks, and the babys carriage, and
the baby's crib and the baby, were making
a visit at Trotty's house.
They had just gone into the spare cham.
Der to take off their things, and Trotty had
hoped up stairs on one foot after them,
with an interested air. 1t struck him
that people were making great fuss over
that pink bundle in that freckled woman's
lap.-kissing it, and squeezing it, and
feeling of its fingers, and chuching it un-
der the chin; saying how it had grown
and how much it looked like papa and
what little dear it was and see it laugh
ing at you He wondered whether,if he
were pink bundle in freckled woman's
lap, they would pay so much attention to
him.
"rm four years old, and I'm going to
be five, bime by he said, feeling that he
had been neglected long enough. But
nobody listened.
"rm four years old. I've got tip
cart, and some rubber boots" he contin-
ued, severely. 81 have free griddlcccakes
for breakfast, and ! eat my supper down
stairs"
But nobody heard that either. How
ever painful it may be to inhict a gentle
reproof upon ones interiors, it is undoubt-
edly sometimes necessity. Trotty, with
quiet dignity, crept up behind Aunt Mat
tbews, and jerked her by the waterfall.
"Ol" said everybody talking at once,
"do let Trctty see the baby. don't be-
lieve he ever saw a baby near enough to
touch it in his lite.
So they made room for Trotty beside
the freckled woman, and he examined the
pink bundle with attention 1t was very
pink bundle. Its flannel cloak was pink
its crocheted sack was pink its little shoes
we're pink its ribbons were pink its hanls
were pink and its face was very pink Ii
had two great black eyes, funny little

whether you spoke of them or not. II

then scowled little, ,scowled little MOI e,
scowled very much, wrinkled, writhed

its mouth wide, and screamed at him. thcr

"You frighten her, the blessed littl'
dear !" said Aunt Matthews.
