Tho boys and Louise got along splendidly,
and ! never could imagine which one she
preferred. She seemed so impartial and
sisterly toward them both, that no one
would imagine she had any particular feei-
ing for either, but +" our folks" saw with
some misxiving, that both boys were wop-
derfully attracted by the hired girl. The
last night saw Charlie ask Louise for one
promenade in the garden. As they passed

BY ELLA WHEELEA.

There are beautiful spirits everywhere,
And they whisper low to me;
hear their wings in the quiet air,
Like tha Raft Of , melody.
There are mystical spirits abroad tonight
And they tell me things that cannot
write.
They whisper soft, and they whisper low
And / alone can hear.
As backward and forward, and to and
fro,
They hover, out ever near.
They fiji my soul With wild delight,
And lift my pen, but cannot write.
There ara wonderful tales, and scraps
Of song.
And thoughts that are new and grand,
Beautiful things that the spirit ihrong
Wan from the hido en- hand
Things that oannot write or speak
For the tongue, and hand, and the pen
are weak.
Tell them aloud, Oh, spirit band
Utter your melody
Speak. that the world may understand
The things that you tell TO me-
Sing to them all that all may hear.
Oh, beautiful spirits, that hover near!

PLAIN TALK TO GIRLs.-Your every
day toilet is part of your character A
girl who looks like a =" fury or sloven

ever finely she may look in the evening
No matter how humble your room may
be, there are eight things it should con.
tain, viz A mirror, washstand, soap,
towel, comb, hair, nail and tooth brushes
Those are just as essential as your break
fast, bsfore which you should make good
and free usc of them. Parents WHO fail
to provide their children with such ap
pliances, not only make great mistake,
but commit a sin Of omission. Look
tidy in the morning, and after the dinner
work is over, improve your toilet Make
it rule Of your daily life to "dress up"
for the afternoon. Your dress may, or
need not be, anything better than calico !;
but with ribbon, or some bit of orna.

satisfaction, that invariably comes with
being we'll dressed. A girl with fine
sensibilities cannot help feeling embsr-
