she laid book across the top of

in her geography about An eruption

in an adjoining sheep pastures.

a GIRLS A GIRL FOR A, THAT

Is there lady In the land
That beasts her rank and a. that?
With scornful eye we pass her by,
And little care fer a. that;
For natures charm shall bear the palm
A girls a girl for a. that.
What though her neck with gems sh
deck,
With folly's gear and q that,
And gaily ride in pomp and pride;
We can dispense with a that;
Anhonest heart acts no such part-
A girls girl for a that.
The nObly born may proudly scorn
a lowly lass and a that;
y pretty face has far more grace
Than naughty looks and n that;
4 bonnie maid needs no such aid
y girls girl for n that.
And let US trust that come it must.
And sure it will for a that,
When faith and love all arts above,
Shall reign supreme and a that,
And every youth confess the truth
\ girls girl for a that.

VIOLET TIME.

Violet time is come again;
Once more, laughing through the rain
Spring with sunnycrOwn advances,
Sunshine glittering on his lAnces
Long live spring-the rainbow arch
Greets his coronation march;
Green his banners, free and brave,
From each tree-top rustling wave.
Birds before him fly in crowds
Fast before him float the clouds;
Swifter run rejoicing rivers;
Sunbeam darts are in his quiyers.
Where lie treads, primroses rise,
And the daisies ope their eyes;
Blaekbirds sing in every bush,
Answering the merry thrush.
Swallows are Lis heralds fleet,
Faster than the pulses beat;
Butterflies between the showers,
Tell the glad news 10 the flowers.
our old monarch, Winters dead;
His crown is on another's head;
Sunbeams chase the enyious rain;
Violet time is come again.

\ GOoD RULE.-Rev. DIR. William
Wisner, of Ithaca, New York, used
great plainness of speech in preach
ing. A writer in the Chri Stidn In
teILigeHcer says: "In plain-spoken
directness he surpassed any man l
overheard. / once listened TO him
when he was discussing the sins of
tipping and ball-going with the
most pungent earnestness. Some OF
the Younger members of his flock
had been enticed into dancing as
/ semblies. He met this undercur-
rent of temptation by the following
sharply defined rule of Christian
conduct: MY young friends, il is a
/ good rule and il safe one, for q

builds it many-chambered, fresh

He who thinks no man above him

in a simple style; for there is, prop

THE TRUE AND FALSE HEART.

The Bolton Bank broke? 1t can't be

been reclining in one chair, with his
feet resting on the back of another,

over his chair, and sending the cigar

of the room.
ayes it is; it is here in the paper,
as you can see for yourself. But
what is it to you? Did you have
anything invested there?"
'cNo; but Miss Neal had-which
amounts to the same thing"
An air of intense chagrin over
spread his handsome, though rather
efIeminate features, as he read the
paragraph to which his companion
pointed.

Charles Hayden, a young man
whose features though less regular

more manliness and goodness OF

air of undisguised astonlshment' :,
"Why so, Wells? you surely dld
not seek the hand of Miss Neal
simply for her money!"
"Well, no; 1 can't say that. She
is a most lovely and charming wo-
man; and it really cuts me to the
heart to give her up. But then I'm
too poor to afford such luxury
| And Miss Neal can no more afford to
marry poor man than a poor girl
| So we're about even."
"And have you no thought for the

HAYDEN, in q tone of suppressed IN
dignation. =,

Wells, who had resumed his former
comfortable position, and was sol
acing himself with a fresh cigar; .

SUPPOSE. Indeed, Tve thought sew
eral times of late, that had 1t no
been for her foolishly high idea o
the binding nature of such prom

gagement herself"
@And knowing this, you woulC

.'Not being sufficiently disinter

Charles Hayden scarcely felt o

words. so much was he engrosse
by the newborn hope that ha
sprung up in his heart, and whic
made its pulses beat so quickly an
