'TI;c Attic L0Ggcr.

The tailor lived on the second
floor, and did his best to make q
living for his wife and four chill
drcn.
Down stairs, the small tobacco
mist lived in state of perpetual
anxiety about the tailor's rent, which
tho lattor genorally gavo MP piece
meal, and with groans; not because
he did not wish to pay all his bills,
but because of a shortness of funds
common to many people.
Up in the attic lived the single
lodger of whom nobody knew any
thing. His name was Smith-but
what did that tell when it was so
common = He was thin, and had
hollow cheeks and anxious eyes,
What his business was, or whether
he had any, was not known. Per-
haps he wore linen, though no sign
of it was perceptiblc. We may al
so hope that he wore stockings
The poor apothecary in "Romeo
and Juliet" put the tobacconist in
mind of his attic lodger when, hav-
ing been presented with tickets by
theatrical lodgcr, he went to spend
an evening with Shakespeare.
"He amt like his face, though"
said Mrs. Tobacconist; "his clothes
fit too good, Mr.. Smith, that's ALL
1t was an acute remark; Mr..
Smiths clothes did lit him too good,
inasmuch as they were few sizes
to small for him. AS for business,
he seemed to have none. At noon
he went out for loaf of bread and
q pitcher of beer. After II o'clock
he disappeared until midnight, at
which time he let himself in with q
latch-kcy and went to bed without
q candle.
"And for all he's told any one
about himself" said the tobacco
nists wife, "hc might be a ghost
"But he's civil spoken" said the
tailor's wife, to whom he always
said, "excusc me, ma'am," when he
found her ailoat on the staircase I'm
a puddle of soap and water which
always made the black boards black
er than before, and was obliged to
wade through the puddle with the
bread and beer. And the tailor's
wife, who had lived at service i'm
her youth, even ventured to hint to
her husband that she thought Mr..
Smith was gentleman. The tailor
rushed this fancy, however, with

Unrest.

"I was lonely ~ violet said,
As it nestled close to an eagles breast,
$50 tired, too, of the dusk and the dew;
God sent you think, to give me rest
Bear me away TO the gates OF day,
To heights that forever are glad and green;
And, safe on your breast ~ n bird in its nest,
Let me learn what living and loving mean."
The wind crept cold to the cyrie's edge,
That night, from its cavern beside the sea,
And the bird slept well but the pride o. the dell
Forgotten and faded. cried "Ah me,
For the sweet, sweet dream by the shadowy stream
For the lonely life that 1 used to hate
For the dusk and the dew so tender and true y
But the wind made answer, "Too late, too late !!
To-day, in the calm of his cold content,
Right on the ellis the bold bird sits,
And never thought of the harm he wrought
Through the sunny space of his memory fits,
But the wind, in glee, creeps up from the sea,
And, finding the violet doomed and dead,
Watts il away from "thc gntcs of day,"
And burics it down where the dusks are shed.

GENTILITY.-This is neither in
birth, wealth, manner, or fashion
but in the mind. A high sense OF
honor, a determination never to take
a mean advantage of another, and
adherence to truth, delicacy, and
politencss, towards those with whom
we have dealings, are the essential
characteristics of gentleman.

Why did we quarrel! Oh, love was it well,
We, bounded by ties too many to tell,
Should play our part so i'll,
That when we meet next, may not lay
My hand in your cordial clasp and say
"God bless you, darling!" still
We used to finish our letters so,
Only few short weeks ago,
In the days when We each would thrill
At the touch of the others hand, and burn
With troubled, trembling, sweet concern.
"God bless you, darling!" still
But was hasty, and you was proud;
And neither spirit as yet was cowed
by prcsagc of coming i'll;
For l left you and you--you let me go;
Nor shadow of sorrow you deigncd to show.
'God bless you, darling!" still
Yes, say il now, though we'll meet so cold,
With never word of the days Of old,
And never n smile to fill
The aching void in each others hearts,
Yet mine echoes now ms when We used to par

She put the children to bed and
sat down on a chair, drawn by force
of habit to the hearth of an empty
stove. Her husband, between pain
and anxiety, was almost insane; he
paced the floor rapidly, talking to
himself. The bit of tallow candle
