JUBILANT JUNE.

The sweet voluptuous June
Is mere at length-through all the sunny hours
over the grateful earth to sprinkle flowers
With heavily boon
ANA clothe with deeper vordue hill and plain
Ana give the woods their glory back again.
No bird, whose swelling throat
2ulvers with song, or whose extended wing
Fans the soft air, but cheerily doth sing.
While DER the breezes float
odors from blossoms which the SUMS caress
Wakes to new life In field and wilderness.
The shimmering sunlight falls
on mount and valley with a softer sheen;
And, 10 the orchards newly clothed with green
Lift up their cor onals
W nowers bright hued, or shaken BY the breeze,
hain their sweet largess from a thousand trees
The green and tender maize
Pterces III moistcned mold, and from the air.
And earth and sunlight gather strength to dare
The suliry summer days;
And springs sweet promise Of Autumnal fruit
Lives In the blade of every fragile shoot
Out underneath the sky,
W here the free winds may toss their sunny curls
froiic glad companies Of boys aud girls
In siniess revelTy;
W lille Nature smiles approving on the play.
And lambs and birds with them keep holiday.
All gentle things rejoice
In the new life and beauty round them spread:
Green earth beneath, the blue sky overhead
And with eXultant voice
nnur their Thanksgiving to the Lord of all,
nose loving care notes even the sparrow's fall
Then welcome bonny June
The breezes fragrant with the breath Of flowers.
With song and sheen that make thy laughing

Boxing the Ears.

rend it in two, and the hearing" is
destroyed forever, because the sense Of
hearing is caused by the vibrations of
this drum or "Tympanum." picking
the ears" is most mischievous prac
tice. In attempting to do this with
hard substances, an unlucky motion
has many time pierced the drum and
made it as useless as pierced India
rubber life preserver; nothing harder
nor sharper than the end Of the little
finger, with the nail pared, ought ever
to be introduced into the ear, unles BY
a physician persons are often seen en-.
deavoriug to remove the "Wax" of the
ear with the head Of pin; this ought
never to be done, first, because it not
only endangers the rupture of the car

YOUR MISSION.

Sail among the swiftesl feet,

You can stand among the sailors,
Anchored vet within the bay
You can lend hand to help them
As they launch their boats away.

Up the mountains. steep aud high,
You can stand within the valley
While the multitudes go BY;
You can chant In happy measures
As they slowly pass along;
Though they may forget the singer,
They will not forget the song.

Ever ready TO command,
lfyou cannot toward the needy
Reach an ever open hand,
You can visit the afflicted,
Yer the erring you can weep;
You can be true disciple,
Sitting at the Saviour's feet.
II you cannot in the conflict
Prove yourself a soldier, tco;
II, where fire and smoke are thickcst,
There's no work for you to do;
When the battlefield is silent,
You can go with silent tread;
You can bear away the wounded;
You can cover up the dead.
Do not, then, stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do

You can find it ANYWHERE.

LIES Autumn.

Like the leaf, life has its fading
We think and speak of it with sadness,
just as we think of the autumn season.
But there should be no sadness at the
fading of life that has done its work.
If We rejoice in the advent Of a new
life; it We welcome the coming of
new pilgrim to the uncertainty Of this
worlds way, why should there be SO
much gloom when all the uncertainties
are past, aud life at its waning wears
the glories of a completed taskg" Beau
titul as in childhood in its freshness
aud innocence, its beauty is that of un.
tried life. IL is the beauty of promise,
Of spring, of the bud A holicr and
rarer beauty is the beauty tho warning
life Of faith aud duty wears. 1t is the
beauty of thing completed; and as
men come together to congratulate each
other when some great work has been
achieved, and see in its concluding
nothing but gladness, so ought we to
feel when the setting sun filings back
its beams upon life that has answered
well its purpose. When the bud drops
are blightcd, and the mildew blasts the
early grain, and there goes all hope of
the harvest, one may well be sad but
when the ripencd year sinks amid gar
niture of autumn flowers and leaves,
why should we regret or murmury-
And so life that waiting for the "wcll
done" Of God, whose latest virtues are
its noblest, should BE- given back to
God in accomplishing reverence, we

much gladness and is permitted such
