He knew he was dying. The faith he
had learned, perhaps while running at
his mothers side, long ago, in some green
English lane, came to him then. He
remembered it was Christ who said "suf-
fer little children to come unto me" and
the beautiful prayer rose to his lips !:
Gracious God, make room for another

GIRL LoAFERs.-When, girls are
taught at the mothers knee, at the home
freside, in school, and in society, that it
is disgraceful for them to be loafers as it
is for their brothers, we shall have girls
demanding and getting that thorough
ness of mental and technical training,
which is needed in the successful pur-
suit of any employment, and not before.
We shall have a standard then for schol-
arship, and women will look upon edu-
cation as something better than mental
rufies and furbelows, or as a mere means
of enabling them to support themselves
in genteel independence until they can
marry, and we shall hear no more lack
of enjoyment for women.

From the cross, O sweet memento,
CONTEST thou by Grief upliited
Ger the mortal, all that's left us
OF the dead we mourn, so gifted?
Mourning emblems. sweetly blending.
Types Of one united sorrow,
Though pour charms shall soon have ending,
Summers name shall live each morrow.
Beautiful in hues combining
Stands our gift 'twixt thee and Heaven.
All thy virtues brightly shining
We embrace-faults all forgiven.
Massachusetts, sons and daughters
Summers name enshrine to-day,
On Affections tear stained altars
In our hearts, 10 live, for aye.
Cruel seemed the grave, so yawning.
Ere il claimed thy precious dust;
But thy spirit-life is dawning
Full of heavenly bliss, we trust.
We have laid thee down so gently,
Floral tributes softly pressing,
And with aching hearts, thee, covered
And falling tears, but grateful blessing,
To God that gave thee to our keeping
Thus long in honest efforts tOiling
For wholesome laws TO bless the nation,
Where shall we see thy mantle falling.
Now so silent meath the shadows
OF the oak, as watehful keeper.
To brave the storm and seorching sunshine,
Lest it break upon the sleeper,
Soft symphonies Of plaintive sweetness,
Be tuned among thy limbs Out-branching,
By orchestra of untaught warblers,
With sunny, warm-lit rays through glancing.
Zephyrs in your wanderings uncertain,
Breathe your balmy fragrance round
The spot which we have eonsecrated-
Our honored statesman's new-raised mound,
Droop not in beauty sweetest flowers,
And e'er exhale the odors given,
For Summers fruits must bloom on earth,
Though he has been upraised to Heaven.
We turn with sad, reluctant steps,
Departed kin anear thee leaving,
And slowly walk Mt Auburn's paths,
With sombre mem ries Intervening.

TACT IN LITTLE KINDNEssEs.-I
spent few days ON steamboat journey
last spring, and in the evening the pas
sengers would gather in the cabins, and
each contributing something to the gen.
eral entertainment, we had very pleasant
times. One young man gave recitation
not much of piece, perhaps--one of
the old time school boy declamations-
and in the midst of it he forgot how it
went, got confused and broke down, feel
ing immensely mortified. But one of
the eladies sitting near him spoke. "Thank
you for that piece. 1t was particularly
pleasant to me to be reminded of it, for
| used to hear it years ago, and it brings
to my mind the pleasant old times when
[ went to the district school in the coun-
try, But have not heard it, nor thought
of it, for long time" The mans en-
barrassment was half taken away by
such thoughtful acknowledgment that
he had given pleasure by his attempt,
and the lady proved herself "real
lady," but unfortunately, nine out Of ten
would not have thought to say anything
of the kind.
If the man who happens to sit on the
same seat with you in the cars has not
the morning paper, and you have, don't
read it through and put it in your pock-
ct, but offer it to your neighbor. And,
in offering kindness, if you can put it
into shape of asking one, SO much the
pIeasanter. A lady said to me: hate
to carry round subscription paper, and
go begging, but when | do go, there is
just one man / like to go to. Mr.. A.
always thanks me for coming. just as
though / had done him favor by giving
him a chance to subscribe. Sometimes
he says he can't give me anything, but
he always thanks me for coming" How
easy for Mr.. A.. to do so yet, in one
point at least, it makes him regarded as
the most agreeable person she knows.
The impressions left by these little
things lasts SO long, too. / remember
we'll how an old gentleman, a stranger to
me, gave me luscious pear one day,
when | was an errand boy in Boston.
He slipped it through the wire-g grating to
me without saying a word. Why the
thing has been pleasure to me every
time have thought of it, all these years.

A PREMoNITroN OF DEATHS. M.
Cooper of Stockbridge, who died on Fri
day night. had a remarkable PRESENT.
ment that his death was near. He was
an active, robust and healthy man, but
he had said to several persons that he
should never live to see his forty fourth
birthday. He was forty-three in Janu-
ary. His father and grandfather had
died at forty-three, but of diseases of
which he showed no symptoms, yet his
conviction that he should not survive the
year was so strong that he had been
making various arrangements of prop
erty, etc, with reference to that impress
sion. A few weeks before his death,
when at work with his son on the noun
tain, he had a slight attack of illness,
but it soon passed off, and he enjoined it
upon his son to make no mention of the
occurrence at home. On Friday he rose
in his usual health, attended an auction
in Glendale, in the forenoon, was about
at the stores on Stockbridge Plain in the
afternoon, procured a check at the bank
there, for the payment of a life insurance
policy, went home and retired early, but
to all appearances well. He soon had
occasion to get up to look to one of the
children and while standing by his own
bedside, was seized with a sort of inter
nal distress, lay down, and in less than
an hour was dead.-Springfeld, Mass,

The Little ViOlinist.

Some of you, doubtless, have heard of
james Speaight, the infant violinist, or
Young Americus, as he was called. He
was born in London, l believe, and was
only four years old when his father
brought him to this country, less than
three years ago. Since that time he has
appeared in concerts and various enter
tainments in many of our principal cities,
attracting unusual attention by his mu-
sical skill. 1 confess, however, that
had not heard of him until last month,
but since then | do not think day has
passed when this child's face has not ris
en- up in my memory,-the little halfsad
face, as | saw it once, with its large, se-
rious eyes and infaHtile mouth.
One morning last January, when | told
Charley and Talbot, at the breakfast ta-
BILE, that Prince Rupert and his court
had come to town,
