THE DIFFERENCE.-Whent two

The DIFFERENCE.-When two
young ladies meet in the street
they kiss and shake hands, and
one of them says:
"Why, Lucy, how do you do! l
haven't seen you for an age.
Where have you kept yourself
latelys" Lucy explains where she
has kept herself, and then an ami
mated discussion ensues as to wi hat
they are going to wear the coming
spring and how they are going to
have it trimmed, &C., which by
an easy and natural transition
leads into q protracted converse
ton about what people wore at
church last Sunday, and how they
were dressed. Finally, at the end
of half an hour, they make a move
to start.
swell, I've got lots of shopping
to do, so | must be going. Now,
you be sure and come up and see
me, won't you' l shall not like

and call in some time next week:
and you must come up and see me,

An hour later the brothers of
these young ladies pass in nearly
the same place.

Little Things.

One step and then another,
And the longest walk is ended;
One stitch and then another,
And the largest rent is mended;
One brick upon another,
And the highest wall is made;
One fake upon another,
And the deepest snow is laid.
So the little coral workers,
By their slow but constant motion, 3
Have built up those pretty islands.
In the distant, dark blue ocean,
And the noblest undertakings
Mans wisdom hath conceived,
By oft repeated effort
Have been patiently achieved.
A little its little word,
But much may in it dwell;
Then let a warning voice he heard,
And learn the lesson well;
The way to ruin thus begins,
Down, down. like easy stairs;
If conscience suffers little sins,
Soon larger ones il bears.
A little theft, a small deceit,
Too often leads to more;
'Tis hard at first, but tempts the feet,
As through an empty door.
just as the broadcast rivers run
From small and distant springs,
The greatest crimes that men have done
Have grown from little things.
