SCATTER TIE GERMS OF THE
BEAUTIFUL.

SCATTER THE GERMS OF THE
BEAUTIFUL.
Scatter the germs of the beautiful,
By the wayside let them fail.
That the rose may spring by the cottage gate
Aud the vine ON the garden wall;
Cover the rough and rude of earth ~
With a veil of leaves and flowers,
And mark with.the opening bud and cup
The march of the summer hours.
Scatter the germs of the beautiful
In the holy shrine of home;
Let the pure and the fair, and the graceful there
In their loveliest luster come.
Leave not trace of deformity
In the temple of the heart,
But gather about its hearth the gems
z OF nature and of art.
Scatter the germs of the beautiful
In the depths of the human souls
They shall bud and blossom. and bear the fruit
While the endless ages roll;
Paint with the flowers of charity
The portals of the tomb,
And the fair and the pure about thy path
In paradise shall blooml

the. bell line that ran above their heads.
/. I, No sooner said than done. Before any one
could prevent It Rustic had seized the line
and given it tremendous tug. The eonse-
quenees were at once obvious three shriIl
whistles were heard, half dozen brakemen
ran to their posts, and the train came to a
standstin with suddenness that startled half
the passengers with establishment, and caused
every man near window to hoist it and look
out to see what was the matter.
In few moments the conductor, red and
excited, came foaming into the car to know
who had pulled the bell rope
&c Here, mister, this way; I'm the man. !"
shouted the offender, drawing all eyes upon
him. ....

you do it for?"

for him, as We do at the hotel, an SO I yanked
the rope. Will he be along soon? An, by

The shout of laughter that greeted this
honest confession was too much for the con-
ductor, and he had to wait until he got his
train under way before he explained the mys-
teries of his bell-rOpe to his yerdant Gus
toner.
