God be thanked for books! They
are the voices of the distant and the
dead, and makes US heirs of the spiritu-
al life of the past ages. Books are the
true Jewelers. They give to all who
will faithfully use them, the society,
the spiritual presence, Of the greatest
of our race No matter how poor am
40 matter though the prosperous of
my own time will not enter my obscure
dwelling-if the sacred writer's will
enter and take up their abode under
my roof-if Milton will cross my
threshold to sing to me Of paradise,
and Shakespeare to open to me the
world of imagination and the workings
of the human heart, and Franklin to
enrich me with his practical wisdom,
shall not pine for the want Of intel
lectual companionship, and may be-
come a cultivated man, though excluded
from what is called the best society in
the place where I live

FAMILY CIRCLE.
WHERE THE SUN DOES .NOT|
SET p


The following graphic passage is
from the description Of a scene witness
ed by Mr.. Campbell and his party, in
the north of Norway, from a cliff one
thousand feet above the sea: ''The
ocean stretched away in silent vastness
at our feet; the sound of waves scarce
ly reached our airy lookout; away in
the north the huge old sun swung low
along the horizon, like the slow beat Of
the pendulum in the tall clock of our
grandfather's parlor corner We stood
silent, looking at our watches. When
both hands came together at twelve,
midnight, the full round orb hung
triumphantly above the wave-a bridge
Of gold running due north spanned the
water between US and him. There he
shone in silent majesty, which knew no
setting. We involuntarily took off our
hats; no word was said. Combine, if
you can, the most brilliant sunrise and
sunset you ever saw, and its beauties
will pale before the gorgeous coloring
which now lit up ocean. heaven, and
mountain. In half an hour the sun
had swung up perceptibly on his beat,
the colors changed to those of morning,
a fresh breeze rippled over the food,
one songster after another piped up in
the grove behind us-we had slid into
another day"

OUR YOUNG TRQNs..

From Hearth and Home.
PUSSYS VIEWS ON THE CAT QUES-
TION.
Dear friends I've just dipped my paw in the ink
Toscratch you bit of . letter: =, - -
Twill surprise you doubt when you find can
But you're old enough, all. to know better
Than to think Of cat as mere ball of fur,
thing to be petted and squeezed;
Toted round by the handle or Whirled by the ear.
Kicked, beaten, starved, worried, and leased
.r.z Meow!
We cats are more gifted than men are; our sight
Serves us better than yours does you knoa0
Our hearing is quicker, our smeers more keen,
Our feet so much faster to go.
We have hearts that can love can hate we have
That can plot, and our plots rarely tail
If my patience you doubt, see me watch for mousse
Or my tenderness-tread on my tail.
This will prove write so please scoff more
At our reason, our wisdom, and wit;
Respect us in future, and never again
Grieve the sensitive soul of a kit.
To be sure have naught to complain of, my life
Thus far has been happily spent;
And were all of my race fat and jolly as l.
My warm feline heart were content.
Meow!
I've nice quiet home, with children about,
fatten on oysters and milk
My eyes in the dark shine like emerald stars,
My coats soft and glossy AS silk.
I'm so handsome and smart my mistress declares
She never will part with her cat;
Should eat up her bird, she'd perhaps change her
mind,
So don't think it best to do that.
Meow!
But lying sometimes on the soft velvet rug,
In front Of the bright, glowing fire,
With my delicate nose my dainty white paws,
Purring, doing, with naught to desire,
think Of the wandering nobody's cats
Creeping shvering out in the snow,
With their thin shabby coats and their big hungry
eyes,
And who mournfully cry they go,
You see I'm cat of superior sense,
And I'm proud of the cats as q race.
Of their wonderful deeds could tell you all day,
Of their cunning, their beauty and grace.
" Puss in Boots is my hero if genius you seek,
There Scarlatti's cat who could play
On the harp with the tip of her tail, and composed
"Katzenfugue' for piano one day.
So speak for my race, if my words can but reach
Your generous hearts, and obtain
For my suffering brethren your pity and care,
I shall feel have lived not in vain.
And the love of the VIII ole feline shall be yours;
Young kittens shall frtsk in your way;
Their mewsic shall lull you to slumber at night,
And so I'm yours,
PUss1E. Good day! Meow!

GREAT applause has been bestowed
