Now---NOT THEN

F'N"- - HN+f
When am lying pale and dead,
Come not, dear friends, around my bed
And pour your loss In deafened ears
And wash my needless face with tears.
What thrill Of hope or tenderness
VIII beat beneath my burial dtessi
What look OF gratitude arise
And lit the lids OF sIghtless eyes
What loving voice escape those lips.
From which no speech or language slipsl
Alas | cannot rouse and say
II ye lament me will stay"
Speak while hear, and while long
To feel your love IA true aud strong,
While peace can s0Othc my troubled brow
Walt not to miss me hold me now
Set not your kisses on my check
Nor on my mouth, too cold TO speak.
In life ! long TO feel their breath,
But what are kisses worth 10 Death
Like blossoms dropped on ice and snow
Like songs whom bowling tempests blow,
A wasted gift, vain caress
That might have been power 10 bless,
That might a life with Joy endOw.
Oh n you kiss me, kiss me now
Remember not when am gone
The deeds / did, or would have done,
How much loved, how vainly strove
To ind an answer In your loves
Say not with tears and cries and prayers
Would that we showed her tenderer cares,
Had patience with the faults we knew,
Chung 10 the heart so warm and true,
That now we weep with hopeless pain
And know will never come again.
An breathe not then the useless vow
But II you love me, love me now.
Nor. standing round my wlntry grave,
Too late 10 serve me or 10 save,
Fling on IL al you have 70 give
" A. last ner f0llics Wo forgifc.n
No II within your hearts there be
A Kind but slumbering thought OF me,
A memory Of the vanished past,
a hope Of peace and love at last,
A spcechlcss prayer, a silent sense,
That sometimes speaks In my defense,
That says "Our life is not too long,
And we, perhaps, were sometimes wrong %
All listen TO that pleading voice
Aud bid a living heart rejoice.
10 late remorse or grief allow
Forgiveness then, forgive me now

Shooting Seals.

Presently second boats crew ventures
away, and VIC observe signal from the
deck intended for US, which indicates some
thing is in store--a seal has been noticed
from the deck, floating at some little dis
tance, and we steadily 60 10 pursuit Of the

head and turns slowly to look upon US,

this way we advance to within about thirty
yards, when she turns restlessly, as If con-
templatng a sudden move We see her
keen, inquiring eye turned full upon US,
a warning word whispered by the sailor,
and as We pull the trigger the whisper
is changed into a wild exclamation Of
disappointment for the seal slips quietly
over the ledge out Of sight.
We, feeling perfectly satisfied with the
success of the shot hurry up, and entirely
forgetting the advice of the Hull Harbor
Master, jump on to the treacherous ice and
hasten to the opposite side. There the
ledge overhangs somewhat; the mass yields
beneath our weight, and we are precipitated
head.foremost into the water. Recovering
from our momentary sensation of surprise
and bewilderment, we look about for the
seal There she lies, however, dead upon
a tongue of ice, and just beneath the sur.
face. But for this platform beneath the
waves, which is rather common shape u.s.
sumed by floating ice, it would have been a
difficult matter to save ones self from
drowning, owing to the heavy weight Of
our fishing boots and thick clothing. As

Important 10 Those Who Draw Notes.

A man drew note promising to pay one
hundred dollars He used printed form,
and did not close up the blank devoted to
dollars, and after passing as negotiable pa
per somebody inserted "and fifty" after
the one hundred, and before the printed
dollars, The note thus altered, got into tho
hands Of an innocent party, who presented
il to the drawer, and the Supreme Court
decided that the maker Of the note was liza.
BILE for its face, because, through negligence,
he did not draw q line between the written
word "hundred and the printed word
" dollars" Any testimony that the drawer
might offer to establish the fact that be
gave note for one hundred dollars must
90 for nothing, as there was nothing on
the face of the note showing it had been
altered" Evidence Of an alteration on the
face of the note would have changed the
case. Let this be lesson to all drawers
Of promissory notes. No one can be too
careful in such matters.

Plain Clothes for School. Mains.
BY ANNA c. BRACKET,


We plead in the interest of our nation
against the fashion and extravaganza in
dress that is creeping into our public
schools. We plead here with the lady
teachers, for on these in great measure de.
pends the standard Of opinion of the school.
Let them remember, each day, that they
are going to work, and let them dress in
accordance with this fact--in dresses from
which the chalk-dust will shake easily,
with no fringes and loops to catch in going
through the aisles-no heavy trimmings on
the skirts to make more weary still the
oittimes weary day. Let them not wear
laces, but plain white linen collars and
cuffs. Let them discard all fancy orna.
ments in their hair, and a new and more
healthy tone will begin to pervade our
school-room. More attention will be paid
to work, because less will be demanded for
outward adornment, but better still, the girl
of poor parents will have no need, because
of her clean calico dress, TO shrink from
comparison with her more wealthy sisters,
or try to shine by the addition of faded or
soiled hncry, or grow insolent to make up
for the lack Of it. Can we not in any one
school unite all the lady teachers in plain
dress club for that purposes Of reform?

THE Hours OF LABOR -" One who is not
afraid of work " writes to say that men who
are idle during day Of eight hours will be
equally so if the nominal time be ten hours,
and thata compulsory lengthening of day s
work will not cure the dilatory or indolent
workman. We believe this to be true and
we desire for every man the right to work
as long as he likes If he is healthy and
sober, and has family to support, ten or
even twelve hours may not be more than he
can do. AT all events, he should be allowed
to do it il he chooses, without fear of unions
or other forms ofpetty tyranny.-Erehange.

For the EXCHANGE
Regular Attendance of Scholars.
\ constant and uniform attendance
of the scholars is very essential to the
success Of our schools. Indeed, next
to a fitting school room and a proper
teacher, it is essential to the best re-
suits. In every point Of view, if the
scholars for whom provision Is made,
arc present to avail themselves of their
advantages irregularly, the most per-
feet system, the most devoted teachers,
and the most elegant apartments viii
discover 10 commensurate ends. When
a scholar Is absent for a day he gets be
hind his class, and it is very difficult
Tor him to catch Up again. He not
only loses by this means, but becomes
q burden to the others. lie interferes
with their progress and causes the whole
class to suffer hy-his absence. In addi-
ton to falling behind his class, he comes
TO regard the school and its privileges
as Of Slight Importance, and neglects
them. As 4 result, he does not make
that Improvement when present in
school that he otherwise would.
BY being absent and irregular in at
tendance, he acquires habits which
will be very likely to have their effect
on his after l;fe. The boy or girl who
Is faithful to the requirements and du-
ties Of the school, will, very likely, be
faithful to the requirements and duties
Of after life. Punctuality at school
viii beget punctuaIity in the duties of
business life. The Importance Of this
matter should induce parents to coop
crate with teachers in reducing as far
as possible, abseatccism and tardinoss;
they should not allow their scholars
10 he absent without 4 good and suffi- |
cient reason therefor: such a reason as
would justify them in being absent /
from their business. X.
