In School Days.
BY JoHS C. wHrTTIER.

sui sits the schooI-house by the road,
A ragged beggar summing;
Around IL still the sumachs grow,
And blackberry vines are running.
Within, the masters desk is seen,
Deep Scared by raps official;
The warping fioor, the battered seats,
The jack-knife's carved initial;
The charcoal frescoes on its wall;
It's door-worn sill, betraying
The feet that, creeping slow to school,
Went storming out TO playing
Long years ago winter sun
shown ever IL at setting,
Lit up its western window panes,
And low caves icy fretting.
Il touched the tangled, golden curls,
And brown eyes full Of grieving,
or one who still her steps delayed
when all the school were leaving.
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled;
His cap pulled low upon a face
Where pride and shame were mingled.
Pushing with restless feet the snow
TO right and LEFT he fingered;
As restlcssly her tiny hands
The blue checked apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes; he felt
The soft hands light earessing
And heard the trembling OF her voice,
As ifa fault confessing.
sI'm sorry that spelt the word;
Ihate 10 90 above you,
Because--ihe brown eyes lower fell
Because, you see, love youi"
still memory o. a gray-haired man
That sweet child-face is showing.
Dear girl! the grasses ON her grave
Have forty years been growing!
He lives TO learn, IN Iifc's hard school,
How few who pass above him,
Lament their triumph and his loss
Like her-because they love him.

Have Mercy!
BY MINNIE n. slILLET

BY MINNIE y. MILLER.
Since ONE has been unkind TO me,
cannot bear that others are kindi
Hush all the sweet voices of sympathy
lie. me walk in my loneliness, cropping Blind
since ONE has been untrue to me,
Let others all be false;-and then
can hold the world a faithless world,
And not my darling the worst of men.
My spirit is strong in slight and scorn;
Help me not down through the intricate
street;
Since one has chosen to scatter the thorns,
Let them press into my sensitive feet.
Men, who are pitiful oaks OF the world,
lend not your vlgor TO weakness OF mine:
Since ONE has hidden me stand alone,
Tam no longer clinging vine.
Women, with tears and with tender pride
Bravely cheering and counseling wise,
Know ye not If We did but chide
That would laugh with my seornruI eyese
hastened away from the dim, old sea,
And fed from the walling haunts Of old,
For they chilled my heart with a mystery
That my spirit could never TO me unfold.
Stars that once did deem divine,
Claiming sistcrhOod in your songs,
Light your beams for another shrine
Ny spirit 10 dusky silence belongs.
can bear the world with its cold deceit;
can smile in its dark face covered with
sneer;-
But touch me not loving or speak TO me sweet
Or my heart will sink with its weight Of tears

a lady who saw much of the Dickens
family twenty-nine Years ago, when
Dickens was thirty years old, has been
writing about them in the EHglish,UOm-
ans Magazine OF the wife she says
"a great deal of amusement was excited
by Mrs. Charles Dickens perpetrating
the most absurd puns, which she did
with charming expression of inno-
cence and depreciation of her husband's 5
wrath, while he tore his hair and writhed
as if cOnvulsed with agony. He used to
pretend to be utterly disguised, although
he could neither resist laughter at the
puns nor at the pretty comic mouc she
made with eyes turned up till little but
the whites was visiblel after launching
forth one of these absurdities.

\ specimen of the wonderful plant,
'The Flower of the Holy Ghost,h has
been successfully raised in Norwich,
Connecticut. The flower is a creamy
white cup, nearly as large as half an
egg, and extremely beautiful, and its
wonder as natural floral growth is the
fact that in this flower is little pure
white dove, with pink bill and eyes, and
It's head turned as if looking over its
back. Its wings, feet, bill, etc., are as
absolutely perfect as those Of the living
dove, whose counterpart this wonderful
mimic bird is.

1t is a feast to even look at such a
joy-inspiriRg girl, such woman-bud,
and see the smiles flowing, so to speak
from her parted lips, displaying set
of clean, well brushed teeth, looking
almost the personification of beauty
and goodness, singing, and as merry
as the birds, the wide-awake birds,
that commenced their morning concert
long before the lazy boys dreamed that
the glorious sun was approaching and
abont to pour a whole flood of joy
inspiring light and warmth upon the
earth. Such q girl is like a gentle
shower to the parched earth, bestow-
ing kind words, sweet smiles and acts
of mercy to all around her--the light
and the joy of the household.
1t has been well said that /" there are
two muscles to raise the upper lip, as
in laughing, and only one to draw it
down; therefore, we should laugh

fulness, good nature'a and joy, are far
more favorable to the health of the

arrests the action of the stomach, and
produces disease. The cheerful and

TO MAKE BOYS COOP FARMERs.

harp too much on the degenerate char

age praise them when you can, and
encourage them to do better. Let
them dress up for the evening instead
of sitting down in their dirty clothes,
in a dingy room. Provide plenty of
light thanks to kerosene, onr country
homes can be as brilliantly and as
cheaply lighted as the gas-lit houses
of the city. Encourage the neighbors
to dropsin evenings. Talk agriculture
rather than politics; speak more of
the importance of large crops, of good
stock, of liberal feeding, and of the
advantages of making animals COM
Portable, rather than of the hard times,
low prices, and high wages. Above
all, encourage the boys to read good
agricultural books. Papers are all
well enough, but an intelligent boy
wants something more and better
Get him some good agricultural book
to read. Read It with him and give
him the benefit of your experience and
criticism. When he has mastered this
buy him another. In our own case,
we-owe our love of farming princi-
pally to. the fact that our father talked
to us on every thing that was doing
on the farm; answering all our ques-
tions, and encouraging rather than re-
fusing our childish desire of helping
