Oh for the joy oftho little bird
That sits through the long, long summers day.
sits and wrahcs its soul away,
Careless whether its song Do heard
Oh for the peace Of the hladed green
That, springing In beauty, holds H. eye
Forever fixed on the distant sky,
Careless whether he growth be seen.
on for the faith Of the treloss sun
That pouring lts food 0fllght and heat
Warns bird and blade TO their service sweet,
Careless whether results be won.
The 10y Of the bird eau be ours to-day
The poacu of the grass IN our souls may fosii
with the faith Of the sun our lives be hlcsi,
IT, careless Of notice, we hold our way,
Nor seek that the crown Of earthly fame
MAY circle our brow, nor ask 60 SOC
The fruit Of labor hut firm and free
Press on, regardless Of praise or blame.
There's one ear listening that all things hcarsi
There's one eye slcepess and ono hand Just,
That viii gather each seed ul ldth and trust
iu the harvest of glory that crowns the wears.

Every night, whom the stars como out,
Aud the birds have gone 70 rest,
4 little hand like O cooling dove,
Nostlcs upon my breast
smooths my forehead and strokes my checks
Passes rs finger tips
over my cyclids and through my hair,
Lingering on my Ups
Clng' N my neck. and clasps my arms
Till, tired Of Ia carcss,
Aud fallen asleep, within my own
The pure white hand press.
Many year has come and gomez
The little hand ia cold
Chlldren's children arc on my knee,
And am growing Old.
Vet each night. o. The stars come out
And near the heavenly land,
iccl as telt in my early days,
Tho touch of that gentle hand

A Coon JOKE oN SOMEBODY. Some young
ladies who were taking advantage of the fine
seghing last winter in attending donation,
surprise or wedding party, or something of
the kind, were obliged to sit three on seat
One of the seats contained two gentlemen
and one lady. The gentlemen Of course
would not allow the lady to take an exposed
seat-she therefore sat in the middle As
the night was extremely cold, gentleman No.
quietly passed his hand Ia remarkably small
hand by the way,l into the ladies mufr As
the muf was not very capacous, the lady
quietly removed one of her hands from the
same, In few moments she felt move
ment on the other side and found gentleman
No. attempting to pass his hand into the
muff on the other side. She then quietly
drew her hand from that side of the mufl
and allowed him to do 50, What took place
in the muff afterwards she is unable to say
But each of the gentlemen privately reported
to small circle Of friends how warmly the
lady had returned the pressure Of his hand in
the muif, while the lady as privately report
ed to her friends the magnificent sale she
had made Of both gentlemen.

o. No trait of character is more valuable
than the possession Of good temper. Home
can never be made happy without it. It u
like flowers springing up in our pathway, re-
viving and cheering US. Kind words and
looks are the outward demonstration; patience
and forbearance are the sentinels within.
