inches in diameter, is separated into
5000 parts, and the indicator revolves
twice every second. The clock is set
upon table, beneath which the pen

The Bright Side.

Look on the bright side. 1t is the
right side, The times may be hard,
but it will make them no easier to wear
agloemy and sad countenancc. 1t is
the sunshine, and not the cloud, that
makes the flower. The sky is blue
ten times where it is black once. You
have troubles; SO have othcls. None
are free from them. Troubles give
sincw and tone to life-fortitude and
courage to man. That would hc a
dull sea, and the sailor would never
get skill, where there was nothing to
disturb the surface Of the ocean. What
though things do look a little da.k :?
the lane Nill turn, and night will end
in broad day. Men are not made to
hang down their heads. There is
more virtue in one sunbeam than 4
whole hemisphere of clouds and
gloom.

THE FAMILY CIRCLE.
TO A SCHOOLGIRL.

How 1t is I cannot tell
Can not solve the magic spell
That your bright and happy smile,
And your winsome WAYS, the while,
All have wrought, with wond'rous art,
Round my weary, lonely heart,
School girl joys are still for thee,
And thy steps are light and free;
Merry laugh, like rippling streams,
DR. like music heard in dreams,
Speaks spirit free from care
Here and there and everywhere.
Eyes that one can not forget,
If with his they ever met,
Soft, sweet eyes that always tell
Ofthc thoughts within that dwell.
Oh! bright spirit let them shine
With full radiance into mine;
Then within their depths see
Worlds ofideality-
Gorgeous realms there find
(Thc broad gardens Of the mind
Rich with fairy blossoms, bright,
Starry gems and affairs white,
Winding vistas down whose ways
Elfins dance in gleeful plays,
Or dim specters come and go
In strange movements, weird and slow
Happy spirit me beguile
With a gentle, loving smile;
Then shall I, at once, forget
All the sadness, toll and fret
All life's longing and regret.
May thy way be ever light
With the sunshine pure and bright,
Which our Father, from Oh high, -
Watching with unwearied eye,
Sends to guide amid the strife
OF this tOilsome, weary life.

that stood under it's "old ancestral
tree" and among its fields of wheat
and corn, like poets vision of a quiet
resting place for some weaiy, suffering
human soul.
And one Of these two women had
eyes to see, and ears to hear, and a
heart to feel and to appreciate it all.
She was a tall and stately lady, appa-
rently some thirty years of age-not
exactly handsome, but with grace of
air and manner peculiarly her own,
The careful toilet, the nameless air of
elegance and luxury, the pale check,
and soft white hands, betrayed the city
dame. While the weary glance in her
large, dark eye, which even the pleas
ant quiet Of that sunset hour could not
quite drive away, showed that Time

brown hair, and rounded figure was

afternoon dress of tinted muslin that
she wore.
At present the pretty face was almost
spoiled by quertlous, discontented
expression. She was contracting her
own hand, plump and small, but Ger
tsinly rather brown, with the slender
white fingers Of her city friend, all gilt
tering with rings. "Just look at the
two!" she exclaimed. "That comes of
making butter and cheese, and sweep

and making beds all the time. That

Margaret Van Howth looked down

sad smile.
"Jeany, it seems to me, as we sit
here in this quiet place and look out
over all these pleasant fields that are
your own-it seems to me that you are

EETING AND PARTING.
BY MARK MOXLEY.

We met one dreamy autumn eve,
Beneath the silver stars,
And there we plighted VOWS of love,
Beside the orchard bars;
The world, while love her lustre shed,
Seemed but ilow'ry bed,
But now, alas, how drcar it is,
Since all that love has fled.
We parted while the winter storms
Were speaking in their might;
We met, and broke the VOWS we made
That well-remembercd night;
And now, whene'cr the dismal winds
owailing through the sky,
To me they ever seem to say
"We heard your last goodbye"
Our love was like fairy spell,
Tco bright and dear to last;
And now, whcne'cr we think it DER,
While looking in the past,
That love seems like the twinkling stars
That pale and quickly flee,
For ain nothing now toyou,
And you are naught to me.
