So that the dear earth might see.
Downward, downward, now closed tho cloud.

An hour OF q moment? Lo tho earth lay bare
In the white moons rising radiance fair.
A world of shadows, with nothing. clear:

An Innocent Old Lady.

The other day, on Il Michigan Cen
trail railroad train coming cast, was an
old lady who had never travelled Il great
deal. She wasn't used to tho ways of
the book agents, the peanut boys, and
the prize package nuisances who pass
through, the train every few minutes:
When the peanut boy came along and
dropped Il big African peanut into her
lap she shuckcd it, opened her mouth
and dropped the kernel down instead of
regarding it with silent contempt or
pitching it out Of the window. The
book agent came along and dropped IL
book in her lap. She said she was
"much oblecged, and she carefully
locked it mp in her valise. The prize
package boy came along and dropped a
sample, and she wondered how the road
could afford to give away so much.
When he returned she had opened it
and was wearing the brcastpin and cat
ing the gunulrops. The book agent
came back and wanted his book, and
before she would give it up she called
the conductor to see if it was right.
Tho card boy wanted pay, and she APP
pcalcd to the passengers. When she
understood that he was right she hand
cd over twenty-five cents with the re-
mark: "Wcll, cf I min't ALFRED

Music AND FLOWERS. gifts
that God has bestowed upon us that
have in themselves no guilty trait,
and show an essential divineness.
Music is one of them, which seems
Ms though IL were never born
Of earth, but fingers with us from
the gates OF heaven. Music, which
breaths over the gross, or sad, doubt
ing heart, to inspire it with concious.
ness OF its most MYSTERIOUS affinities.
and touches the chords Of it's unsus.
pected life. And the other gift is
that of flowers, which, though born
on earth, we may well believe, il any.
thing Of earthly soil grows in the
lighter realms, II any of its forms are
identical there, will live on the bank
Of the river Of life. Flowers that in
our gladness, in all our sorrow, are
incongruous always appropriate in
the church, as expressive of its clear.
est and most social themes, and
blending in their sweetness with the
incense of prayer. Appropriate in
the joys OF the marriage hour, in the
loneliness Of the sick room, and
crowning with prophecy the fore
heads of the deaf They give com.
pleteness TO the associations of child
hood, and are appropriate even by
the side OF age, strangely as their
freshness contrasts with wrinkles
and gray hairs, for still they are sug-
gestive. they are symbolical of the
souls perpetual youth the inward
blossoms of immortality, the ANA.
ranthine crown in their presence. we
feel that when the body shall drop
as whithered calyx, the soul will 90
