- CANDLEMAs DAY.-To-day Feb. 2nd)
has been celebrated for centuries in
honor of the puritication of the Virgin
Mary, and no doubt received its title
from the great number of lights used on
that occasion.
But besides this sacred character
mscribed to it, tho tradition runs from
time immemorial tina: on this day the
New England wood chuck, alias the
ground hog of the South, comes from
his winter quarters, and if he sees his
shadow, returns and remains six weeks.
If, then, 1t should be fair to-day. and
there is anything i'll the tradition, we
may expec: to have several visitHtions
of Old Bureas before the balmy breeZ9s
OF spring blow softly over this region.
We trust Mr.. ground hog may not see
his shadow to-day, in which event he
will pitch his tent once more on terra
iirma and not under it.

THE SCHOOL.

When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And the school for the day is dismissed,
And the little ones gather around me,
To bid me goodnight and be kissed;
Oh, the little white arms that encircle
NV neck in tender embraced
Oh, the smiles that are halos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine Of love on my face!
And when they are gone sit dreaming
Of my childhood, too lovely to last;
OF love that my heart will remember,
When it wakes to the pulses Of the past,
Ere the world and its wickedness made me
A partner of sorrow and sin:
When the glory of God was about me,
And the glory of g,adness within.
Oh, my heart grows weak as woman's,
And the fountain of feeling will flow,
When I think Of the paths, steep and stony
Where the feet of the dear ones must go
OF the mountains Of sin hanging DER them;
Of the tempests Of fate blowing wild;
Oh, there is nothing on earth half so holy
As the innocent heart of q child
The twig is so easily Bonded,
have banished the rule and the rod
have taught them the goodness of ledge,
They have taught me the goodness OF
God;
My heart is dungeon Of darkness,
Where | shut them from breaking the
rule;
My frown il sufficient correction
NV love is the law of the school.
| shall leave the old house in the autumn,
To traverse it's threshold no more
All, how shall sigh for the dear ones
That meet me each morn at the door
l shall miss the 'good-nights' and kisses
And the gush Of their innocent Slee,
The group on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning to me-
| shall miss them at morning and evening,
Their song in the school and the street
shall miss the low hum OF their voices,
And the tramp of their delicate feet,
When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And death says the school liz dismissed!'
May the little ones gather around me,
To bid me good night and be kissed.
