What would happen. do you suppose,
If the migonette should say TO the rose:
1.-The pride OF roses hate to see;
Why don't you keep near the gruund like me 2
What if the lose should say to the phloX:
''My form and color are orthodox
To please your Maker you've got to be,
Precisely in all respects like me %
What if a grape should say toa pear:
why are you Haunting about up there
Beware of swinging alone and free:
You ought to cling to a trellis, like mel'
What if a river should say to a rill:
'If you wern't too lazy you'd turn mill.
Study my method, and try to be,
A rushing, roaring river like me
What if swan should say to crow:
You belong to the race of so-and-sO,
It's deadly sin for you to be free;
Your only hope is in serving me 2"
What if goose should teach a wren?
Or an eagle try to follow henl
What if the monkeys should all agree,

THE LITTLE HAND.

That hand of thine my precious child,
How oft its soft earess WOO,
And ask, with many hope and fear,
What is that little hand to dOl
How ductile, soft, unworn by toll,
The ready Instrument of play,
1t executes the faneies quaint
That make thy life one holiday.
1t rolls the ball, it guides the pen,
And ciphers strange can deftly trace;
And oft, with warm affections gush,
1t fondly strokes my careworn face.
The mimic arms it well can WELD,
And rein thy small and steady steed;
And when we con the lettered page,
Points to the tiny words we read.
And in thy parents hand it's clasped.
When night and morn our prayer is prayed !;
And pillows oft thy rosy cheek
When slumber's spell is on thee laid.
Twill not be always thus, my boy,
For real life has other tasks
What is that little hand to do
Once more thy yearning mother asks.

EF1HE application of water in this Wheel is some
thing new in Hydraulics. The whole stream is
presented to the Wheel in one sluiee gate and
u operates as perfectly each and every bucket
at once though each bucket fed through a
gate or sluee OF its own thus avoiding large
of friction. and leakage attendant small apertures
and Fly Trap gates. The power by avoiding fric-
ton, results IN giving force the water and
consequently more power to the Wheel. The last five
years hard trials successfully encountered praeti-
caly set at rest the credit and ability of the Wheel
perform all that has been claimed for it. The ease and
slight expense with which is set in place the rel-
Bile and permanent character of the power delivers
the slight loss experienced by back water together
anchor ice can be removed and the readiness with
which the amount of water used can be ascertained
makes the Wheel agreeable to all who have in care
the running of the power; while the actually ascer-
tanned fact that portion of the water gives its full
eectlve force Just in proportion to the amount used
from the first to the last inch makes it desirable
economy OF water, or variable amounts, while the
price OF the Wheel is low for the amount power
furnished that any one who wants power Just as
well have first as second class Parties who
have been and now using this Wheel to drive all
kinds of machinery under all amounts of head and
with ever varying quantities of water ready and
they manifest in the of this Wheel over any and
all others they have used. Five years ago it was
launched entirely on its merits by the maker who
was well aware of all means credtable and dscredit-
able which are used to puff machines and new
improvements 1t felt that if the Wheel was
better than those that had preceded it, the
would be able to find out the and candid enough
to appreciate it. Experience demonstrated the above
principle to be correct.

TESTIMONIALS

Among the many testimonials that have been given
in favor OF the Giant its inventor begs leave to re-
fer to the following, all of whom are known either
personally or by reputation to the majority the
people. Listen to c. G. Drown lifelong lumberman
and who has had much experience in water wheels
as most men of his age.

DEAR SIR-You wished me to say what think about
your Wheel how am suited and what it is doing. 1
purchased my Wheel in July, 1867, that have had
pretty good opportunity in the last five
ming TO test and find out all the good and bad points
its action. My water is very limited much that
my neighbors deemed wild to think of using your
Wheel, at that time it experiment all
sides, being your first Wheel and my departure from
breast wheel Yet when the stream was so low that
mills below me shut down was able to saw. notice
your Wheels are creeping into those mills. believe
when the water was lowest sawed and delivered on
the cars IS 600 feet per month can and do with
the 4Ginch wheel, easily, 10000 feet day. and by
driving can do more. have sawed in hour 2 600
feet but Loco is fair In the month of May,
1877, sawed in the working days of ten hours each
226 494 feet My head is sixteen feet and have never
seen the wheel, since l put the Giant in, that
would dare put in the place of it, have seen the
day hour when was not satisfied with its work
1t is easily handled and gives all the power there is
in the water from partial to full gate have been
in the lumber business for twenty-five years and have
had great many water wheels under my observation
and for driving machinery where power is wanted l
would esitatngly say give me one of your Giant
Wheels Yours &C., C. G. DROWN.

going to get married.
If be (being a married NAM dreams

Why should body and soul be flung
into sorrows dungeon when God sees fit
to aflict? Is not the world as bright
as of yore ? Are there. not still some
happy phases to gladden. life's weary
pilgrimage? We should not complain
of expressions. but, with submission and
love, perform the duties of life, and. al
though sorrows come and griefs oppress,
we must not let darkness obscure the
talent which God has given to promote
our own and others happiness. or bury
it with the brighter past, but nobly use
it, and count all sorrow as naught, when
We consider what blessed reward will
be ours If we have not lived in vain for
after this life Of sorrow and pain, where
We are continually weighed down with
care. there is home Of perpetual rest,
the streets Of which are tbroDged with
an angelic host, who, with songs ON
their lips and with harps in their hands, "
tell neither the sorrow nor grief, which
perhaps wasted their life.

heart in bitterness bears? What NOR
tai, by observing our actions. can ever
know the rugged path of sorrow which
our weary feet are travelling? We an
swer, no one is able TO read the secret
of life. The true heart wills that masks
be worn to conceal the frightful .miseries
from all human ken, to reveal them on
ly to 6od and the angels We shudder
to think what dark array of griefs
would be observed should the masks be
removed, and the cruel eye of the world
be allowed to penetrate in the innermost
recesses of the heart. Disheartened and
faint, each mortal would turn with pity
for his neighbor, but to read anew the
misery of his own heart-to see gaunt.
grim spectre enthroned within his. own
breast. But, blessed thought the masks
are secure, and no chink admits the pas
sage of our griefs.
In this strange. conflicting life, masks
subserve a purpose. We are thrust into
society, where JOY and gladness must be
donned to conceal the inward feelings
for, though il claims the guardianship
of many virtues, it is mighty censor;
or, again, duty points to leading others
in the way of knowledge and happiness
when our own heart is almost bursting
beneath its heavy load of sorrow. Ming
ling upon this great stage, day by day.
hour by hour, the world observes and
thinks US happy, but little does it know
what worm is gnawing at the heart, and
drinking up the life-blood.
How many bright eyes lose their lus-
tire, how many feet grow weary, how
many noble forms fade away into an
early tomb, and we wonder what has
caused them so early to give their bod
les to darkness and the worm. Perhaps
we will be told of some wasting disease,
or fearful malady. which took them to
their rest This may be true, but no one
knows what mental agony hurried on
disease, and snapped the spring of life.
for masks are effectually worn to conceal
the pangs of a troubled heart.
Wretchedness is often carried into
halls of gayety and scenes Of pleasure,
hidden, like a spectre of woe, beneath
mask of glowing pleasure. The world
is deceived. 1t hears not the half-drawn
sigh, and sees not the qnivering lips.
All is calm without, but, within. the
heart, which cannot be cheated into a
momentary forgetfulness Of sorrow,
throbs with sense of pain.
When we smile and jest with those
around us, do our hearts re-echo what
the lips utter? Do sparkling eyes and
flushed cheeks fortell purity of heart ?
No, no the blush of gayety sufuses the
countenance, and smiles pass lips Of
which the heart knows nothing, for it
beats in unison with feelings, while out
ward signs are only masks to hide ones
wretchedness.
Thrice happy we consider those whom
the spoilcr early releases from sorrow,
and who need no more their deceiving
masks. But rest IN happiness, favored
ones, for we are rapidly advancing, with
the movement of the world, to grasp the
panacea of all ills; and, though the
time may seem long ere we shall lay
down all griefs and enter into state of
happiness, yet,
