Dropping beneath tho weight of weary hours,
Like violet petals whom the haistorm dashes
On summer bowers.
Pale brow, serene in sadness,
Rippled by gusts ofagony below, ness
When passed the flush, SO like tho ghost Of glad.
Whiter than snow.
Sweet mouth, the home of kisses,
Strained from the dimpled checks by burning lips
So red, so ripe, it falsely tells Of blisses
The lover sips.
Unbound the glossy tressss
Wander uneasy over breast and brow:
A stray one lovingly the throat caresses,
Half hidden now.
Hands of transparent whiteness,
Restless and weary with their aimless play,
Vexing the couch with touch Of feathe, lghtness
Trembling alway.
So resting on the pillow,
Tho sick one dreams and wakes and turns in pain,
Unquiet as sea-weed on the billow,
Drifting in vain. 1..,
Alone, though friends surround her,
One voice she longs for, watching hour by hour;
That gone, no gentle hand Of nurse around her
Has soothing power.
Her quick eyes eager glances
Wander from curtained pane to mufled door,
And seek the mote which in the sunbeam dances
On mott'ed floor.
Hark! a soft foctstep falling
Sends the quick current to her throbbing heart;
Then rosy bushes to her pale cheek calling
With sudden start.
All thought Of pain is banished;
Mark how the spirit fills the fragile forml
The worn sad look has from the wan face vanished
In 1ushes warm.
Oh love, what is thy treasure
Of potent spelsto soothe the arrows smart2
Richer than store Of jewels without measure
Thy magic art .,

VALUABLE CEMENr.-Simple pure
white lead, or zinc-white ground in Gil,
and used very thick, is an excellent
cement for mending broken crockery-
ware; but it takes very long time to
harden sufficiently. The best plan is
to place the mcnded article in some
storeroom, and not to look after it for
several weeks, or even months. After
that time it will be so firmly united
that, if ever again broken, it will not
part on the line of the former fracture.

against the west. Coming back under
the bare branches Of the avenue they
met the little funeral procession, and
stood still to let it pass. Two cboristers
were trudglpg ahead, chanting as they
hurried along; an old white-headed
priest |as hurrying beside the coffin.
Some birds were family chirruping
overhead, the wind came ru hing
'hrugh the bare branches, shaking the
shadows upon the dry turf.
"lt does one good to come to this
place. l shall ask my hu,band to
bring me here again." said C.tha.ine.
No one answered her. Butler vas .
little ahead, walking with his hands
deep in his pockets. Cathar,ne Beam
ish had got hold Of her husbands arm
and was talking to him. For the 6rst
time that day strange chill present..
ment came to Madame Fontaine she
remembered it afterward. Asshe came
out through the gates again it seemed
to her as if she was leaving behind her
more of peace and Of prayer, than were
to be found outside, and yet she was
glad to escape and to be carried away
by the tide Of life.
Who shall say where peace is to be
found ? George Elliot has nobly written
that the kingdom Of heaven is within
us, and not to be found here OF there
by those who vainly search for it
Reine Chretien thought once that she
had discovered it to the sound of the.
chanted prayers in the companionship
Of sacred, Indifferent woman. She had
been torn b nistrast. Catharine's.
poor little warning had reused the
sleeping Jealousy of this strange and
difficult nature. She had hated her,.
self-struggled against it, forgotten
it in passionate enthusiasm Of devo-.
ton, Of gratitude and by some strange
chance, praying in the choir, within
the gates Of the convent, she had open
ed her eyes to see tho curtain raised,
and, like terrible revelation, the se-..
cret visions Of her heart standing real.
lied before her. There were Dick and
Catharine standing outside at the graf.
ing, side by side; and within it, the
nuns at their prayers, and, Rienc still
on ber kaees, with a sudden tempest
raging in her heart.
Another time the chancs might have,
meant nothing, but now she was in a
demoral'zed State Of mind, and, as it
often happens, the very efforts which
she had made to overcome the evil
seemed to increase its strength, like
water poured upon the flames.
Certain combinations, which at oue
time, to some people, seem utterly
shifting and unmeaning, to others are,
IS 1t we're, stamped and arrested for
ever in their minds. A certain set of
emotions have led up to them; certain
result follows. Two real events of life
happen silently, and in our hearts the
outward images are but signs and faint
reflections Of its hopes, longings, fail
nss, victories.

A &" SorOsis" Frog.

There is frog" There ,oas frog" the
old story commenced) but now there is a
frog, somewhere in the Eastern section of the
village Of Montpelier, that has jolly way
Of piping his shrill note,-for he has but one,
from various points during the same even
ing's entertainment, to his own great amuse-
ment, no doubt, but to the great bowilder-
ment Of any one who might wish to locate
him the tax collector or census taker, for
instance. Whether he has " double for
every puddle, and thus passes around his mo-
nOtonous yeeD, or, becoming scientific, has
turned centraoquist, and is practicing this
little deception to elude bad boys who stone
frogs, out of Fables as well as in, is one Of
the unsolved mysteries. Perhaps, discover
ing the Reach-y odor of his surroundings, he
has an instructive fear of broil or fricaSSee
in waiting for his hind quarters, and has de-
termined to put his cook to the test of Mrs.
Hale's first direction in her recipe for cook
ing hare. At any-rate, his frogship is an
eccentric genius, and with view to procur-
ing more light as to this wonderful peculiari-
ty and more wonderful power of singing "all
around the lot" like an lrishpan hitting
heads at a Donnybrook Fair, we consulted
the " brick-maker," who was apparently his
nearest neighbor, and ought to know his little
family secrets. He protested that he had no
knowledge of boys with stone-pelting designs
upon him, and could vouch for one nation, at
least, generally accredited as the principal
" frog-eaters,' that his evening carol would
never be suspended to add to their cuisine,
1t is new and very queer freak" of that
frog" added the brick maker" with an air
of more apparent wisdom upon the subject
than we supposed he possessed, and was
not commenced till after the appearance Of
that canyasing committee for toOmans rights,
as it is called" And with increased conf
dence he added, ait is my candid opinion, that
is Sorosis Frog, and is ambitious TO croak
in more pIddleS than il can occupy bodily"
We suggested to the honest brick-maker
the propricty of making his brick little
more "on the square," burning them as
evenly cherry red as possible, and not
to be too free with his opinions Of SOrosi'
frogs and cancas,ing women, as they both
belonged to " the wonders of nature" b.

A Practical Explanation.

A friend from the West has been telling
me about the prayer meetings Of his church.
Long prayers are not allowed, while the
meeting is made as Informal and free as pos
sible A few evenings since, the leader
opened the exercises by giving some thoughts
which had been suggested to his mind by the
petition in the Lords Prayer, Give US this
day our daily bread" Was it true that they
who uttered this petition were any better pro-
vided for than those who, working industri-
ously, never prayed? The pastor gave a
brief alegory, and closed by saying he would
make no application. As he sat down, my
friend arose and said he wished to relate an
incident for which their minister could vouch,
that had a very direct application:
A few Sabbath since our pastor preached a
sermon that had long needed. 1t was full
of comfort and cheer to my soul. | had that
morning put five dollar bill in my pocket,
and on the way home | had said to myself,
" That sermon has done me so much good l
will acknowledge it tomorrow by sending
Mr.. w. this money" Monday morning came
and with it motherly reminders that new
shoes were wanted for the children, and the
-four barrel was almost empty. There seemed
so much needed Of all my five dollar bills
that the resolution made the day before was
almost forgotten On the way to my office |
met a friend, very unexpectedly, who had re-
moved his residence from our place Some
months ago this friend asked the loan of five
dollars, and being under obligation to him for
past fayors, | handed it to him, saying 81 do not
want you torepay this" However, now he in-
sisted on paying me the money. As soon as |
reached the office | enclosed the bill in let
ter to my minister as a thank offering for the
good his sermon had done me. In due time
the letter was taken from the Office, and
opened Starting on his way home, our pas
tor met lady, comparative stranger in the
place. Heinquired after her invalid husband.
The wan face told u more serious story than
the lips. How could he assist herr Tell
ing her of the letter he had just taken from
the office, he lifted the lid Of the basket, and
said, d" Now / want to put this five dollar bill
right here. The tears trickled down the
woman's face as she said, A" Mr., W., this
morning there was only food enough in the
house for my husbands breakfast, | have
eaten nothing, but he does not know it.
We have not a relative within a thousand
miles, and we are destitute among stranger.
Kneeling down this morning, and thanking
the Lord, | uttered the prayer he has taught
US. Give us this day our daily bread, You
sec, sir, how God has answered my prayer.
