WORK.
BG ALICE CAREY.

Down and up, and up and down,
Over and over and over
Turn in the little seed, dry and brown
Turn out the bright red clover,
Work and the sun your work will share,
And the rain in It's time will fall
For nature she worketh everywhere,
And the grace of God through all.
With hand on the spade and heart in the sky
Dress the ground and till it;
Turn in the little seed, brown and dry;
Turn out the golden millet
Work, and your house shall be duly fed
Work. and rest shall be won
| hold that man had better be dead
Than alive, when his work is done
Down and up, and mp and down,
On the bin top, low in the valley,
Turn in the little seed, dry aud broAn,
Turn out the rose and lilly
Work with a plan. or without plan,
And your ends they shall be shaped true;
Work, and learn at first hands, like a man
The best way to know is to do!
Down and up, till life shall close,
Ceasing not your praises;
Turn in the wild white winter SHOWS,
Turn out the sweet Spring daisles.
Work, and tho sun your work will share,
And the rsin in its time will fall;
For nature she woIketh everywhere,
And the grace Of God through all.

BEHIND THE WELLS it not al.
ways the practice of pretty ladies' to
wear veil. Not even coquetry will
dispense with the pleasure OF showing
lovely countenance, and the most mod
est and retiring beauty likes to be ad-
mired for the regularity and delicacy
of her features. These reflections pass
ed rapidly through the mind of a prom
inent New Orleans magistrate as he
was riding up town in street car re-

from single glimpse of her counte,

he ventured the remark that tie day

attract attention" cit is the province
of gentlemen to admire replied the
gallant man of law. "Not when they
are married" "But Pm not" "In-
deedl" "Oh, no, I'm bachelor."-
The lady quietly removed her veil,
disclosing to the astonished magistrate
the face of his mother,in>law. He had
business elsewhere suddenly.

LEGEND OF THE PASSION FLOWER.
1t is said that certains Jews, bewail>
ing in Jerusalem the death of Christ,
saw, for the first time, this flower, by
some said to have sprung wherever
drops of his blood had fallen, and, with
the scene of his wondrous death and
passion fresh in their memory, gave
to this beautiful blossom symbolic
meaning indicative of his suflerings
and the manner of his death.
The anthers are supposed to repre-.
sent the three nails used at the crucfic-
ton. The rays represent the glory of
our Lord. The purple fringe, some>
times found with red spots upon it, a
type Of the crown Of thorns. The
petals, ten in number, are the repre-
sentat;ves of those apostles who were
faithful. to their Heavenly Master.
The three sepals, forming the cclyx,
are emblematic of the Trinity.
This poetical conception has caused
the passion flower to be held in esteem,
almost amounting to vencration, in
catholic countries; and the blossoms are
found entwincd, in many cases, with
emblazoned inscriptions and borders of
old manuscripts of the sacred writings.

Mr.. Thomas Meehan, editor of the

correct, yet how few have observed it.:
"The tendrils of a grapevine make a
circuit every two hours and half, in
search of something to cling to, and if
they fail to find support at the end
of ten days they die. This motion re-
quircs food, and this is withdrawn from
other channels. To prevent this waste
the tendrils are usually pruned of. A
better way is to provide twiggy branch
es to which the tendrils may cling at
once as soon as formed.

OK TME.-If tailors, boot makers
and tradesmen generally did but know
it, the public hold punctuality in as
high estinratio" g ro~r-s' fts Ae
there is nothing more annoying than
repeated delays after a thing has been
promised, so there is nothing more
satisfactory to the customer than to be
served according to agreement. Those
tradesmen make mistake who habit,
ually promise what they know them
selves they cannot perform. A pur-
chaser, after being disappointed two
or three times, seeks some other
establishment. 1t has been truly
observed that men "who are habitually
behind time are habitually behind
success" They are always losing GUS
toners, never contrive to establish
permanent relations with buyers, and
make no headway, while others who
are prompt and do as they agree to do,
extend the number of their patrons,
and acquire wealth. An inquiry into
the records of all successful business
men will show that punctuality has
been one of their virtues. No one has
or can succeed without it, however
superior their qualifications in other
