MORNING I'm SPRING.
ny O. D. PRENTICE.

How sweet the landscape Morning twincs
Her trosscs round tho brow of Day,
And bright mists DER the forest pines,
Like happy spirits ioat away
To revel on the mountain Drown,
Whence the glad stream comes shouting down
Thro' woods and rocks, that hang on high,
Like clouds against the doep-blue sky.
The woven sounds OF bird and stream
Are falling beautiful and deep
Upon the spirit, like a dream
OF music 10 the hour of sleep,
And from tho wildwoods' dewy bowers,
Soft murmurs, like tho breath Of flowers,
Are winding through yon purple grove,
And blending with notes Of love.
The streams In veins OF silver flow,
The sunrise gale, DER flower and tree
So lightly breathes, Il scarce would blow
A fairy bark upon the seal
II comes so fresh, so calm, SO sweet,
Il draws the heart from It's retreat
To minglc with the glories born
In the first holy light of morn.
A cloud is on the sky above,
And calmly Ger the young years blue,
IT'S coming, like thing Of Love,
To gladden. in the rising dew
Its white waves with the sunlight blend,
And gentle spirits seem to bend
From Its unrolling folds to hear
The glad sounds Of our Joyous sphere.

Eternal Dish Washing"

We are not sure that the ladies
will thank us for reproducing the
following by Rev. T. K. Beecher, as
1t may be simply repeating to them,
tiresome truth but it will show
them that at least one man appre-
ciates their real condition in life:
The quiet fidelity with which
''she'' will dish-wash her life away
for chin" is a marvel of endurance
and grace. just here is the servi
tude of woman heaviest-no sooner
is her work done than it requires to
be done again. Man works up
jobs, ends them, ard takes his pay.
This pay, can be translated into
something else desirable. A man
works all day and draws his pay for
his days work. This pay allures
him, as oats does a horse, home
ward bound. Thus men work by
turns and jobs, and although work
is endless as to quantity, yet when
cut up thus into terms and jobs, we
men go heartily on our journey and
count our milestones.
Not so with our mate. She
mends our socks, and we put our
irrepressible toe upon the darned
spot, and she darns it again. "She''
washes for the family, and the fami-
ly makes haste to send back the
same garments to be washed again.
"She'' puts the room in order, and
we get it ready to be "rid up"
again. The same washing, the
same socks, the same room every
time. She has no successive jobs,
no terms, no pay day, no tally stick
of life. She washes the same dish
three hundred and sixtyfve-yes,
three times three bundled and sixty
five times every year. No wonder
she breaks it and is glad of it!
What relief to say 1--WE. done
with that dish % - Moore's RuraI
Neao Yorker.

TIE SHORTEST WAY HOME

The shortest way by half a mile
leone so often by it
Is up the road, across the stile,
And through the meadow. Shall we try iti
The days were not without charm
When talking soft and looking silly,
My Love and walked arm in arm,
And lanes were lone and fields were Silly
We found so many things to say,
That always in the Shiny weather
We took the-well, the shorter way,
To be longer time together.
We spoke about-(but goodness knows
Our hopes of confabalation)-
About the weather, suppose,
The crops, the harvest, and the nation.
At all events, although the talk
Was neither wise nor very witty.
He ended each successive walk
With ;'Home already-what pityr'
We might have lost a little ground
Though coming by the road selected.
But both agreed that we had found
The journey shorter than expected.
Can Life's experiment support
The paradox that Love proposes?
Does any path seem very short,
Unless it be a path of roses?
Yves seldom find the nearer way;
And if we hit upon and take it,
By creeping on from day to day,
1t seems as long as length can make it.
The road to Fame is never brief,
The way to wealth is dull and dreary;
All earthly routes, in my belief,
Are very lcng and very weary.
Nay-one that leads through care and strif
In short, when mOrtals once begin it;
We take the "near cut' out oflife,
Although we take the longest in it.

Oh, how many thousands of
young people. not quite strong
enough to say "No" themselves,
hail with thankful joy the t'No" of a
companion. They need holding up.
There is wonderful power in clear,
decided "No." 1t braces the per-
sons who says it; it braces every
right minded person who hears
him. Oh, if the boys, and the girls
too, would only be true to their
conscience, to their convictions of
right, to their Christian training,
there would not be so many sad
wrecks among US.

What will you do with your
Evenings this Winter?

Winter is fast approaching. AL
ready it has sent out it's skirrFishers,
in the form of singing winds, and
bitter snow squalls. With it will
come long evenings of leisure.
Young men, what do you intend to
do with these evenings?
There are thousand inducements
to squander them. The gaily light
ed billiard-room, opens its doors
andinvites you to enter. The theater
the ball, solicit you. All sorts of
similar temptations allure you to
spend your time and money; and
many of you will be drawn into ex-
travagant expenditure. by these, in
themselves, innocent amusements.
Another and worse class of temp
tations will beset you. The drinking
saloon, the house of ILL., fame, will
invite you to enter, and with delu-
sive excitements seek to blind your
moral perceptions and lead you to
ruin.
What are you going to do with
these precious evenings? Will you
throw away their golden apportuni-
ties and take upon you a burden of
vain regret for the years that are to
come? Do you not see their value,
if improved?
There are thousands of young
mechanics who will see these words,
and will, some of them, perhaps, re-
solve that this winter shall not be
spent as was the last. This winter
shall be devoted to neglected arith-
metic, algebra, or book keeping.
They will seize the coming leisure to
perfect their knowledge Of drawing,
or to complete perusal of some
scientific, historical, or literary work
begun long ago, but still unfinished.
They know the value of time and
they will no longer squander it.
Alas how few Of these wise reso-
lutions will be kept. Yet we are
hopeful that some will be Influenced
by our exortation to use their time
in a moro profitable manner than do
the majority of pleasure loving
young men.
The means of self-improvement
are now so widely difused that no
one seeking knowledge can fail to
obtain them, and while we do not
counsel the utter remuneration of
innocent amusements, it is always
wisdom to subordinate these things
to higher purposes.
Young mechanics, and young men
of whatever occupation you may be,
you may refer your future success
or failure to the way in which you
employ this winters leisure. Then
what will you do with your even
ings ?-Sciemtsfc american.

Stephens is of the opinion that Mrs.
