sec a lark in the far summer sky,
NV darling seated at her harp see,
PLAYING the while our little children sing
The world ia full of music-not for mel
dreamed last night OF some dim abbey choir;
The lights were burning whore the singers
stood
Chanting nv anthem. Icrouched in the dark,
Weeping with Joy to hear they called 1t good!
o music of nv sleep, that mocks my soul
With cruel Joys thai are flu filled no nors
Than his who dreams of light and love at home,
II haunts me always through my silent days,
With life before me like closed gate.
IL God had only hidden me to do
Or anything but this hard work-.o wait
To wait and work, and know my work but as
Some poor fond mother from her infant reft,
Shuts the sweet memory safe from change and
time,
And dreams to find her boy the babe she left
And yet there is thought will sometimes creep
1t even mingled in my dreams last night
I'd rather make my music in the dark,
Than only stand and sing in 1t the light
Maybe the dream is nearer truth than sound,
And could / hear my tune, mine eyes might
miss
Some OF the sweetness soaring in my soul
Better go wanting that, and having this!
And there are songs in heaven. God forgive
poor deaf man for wondering what they are,
Perchance it is their echo that catch,
And shall hear those same songs sWeeter FAR.

Aphorisms by George Mcdonald.

The parson of the parish must keep the
windows of his mind open to the holy winds
and pure light of Heaven; and the side-win-
dows of tone, of speech, of behavior, open to
the earth, to let fall upon his fellow-mea the
tenderness and truth which the upper irfiu-
ences bring forth.
Life is a constant sunrise, which death can
not interrupt, any more than night can swal-
low up the sun.
You will hear some people read poetry so
that no mortal can tell it was poetry; so do
some people read their own lives and those OF
others.
have never been able to see the great diff
ference between right and wrong in a clergy
man and right and wrong in another man; all
that have yet discovered comes to this, that
what is right in another man is right in
clergyman, and what is wrong in another man
is much worse in a clergyman.
to be silent.
One of the great battles we have to fight in
this world is the battle with appearances.
If we had what we asked for always, we
should too often find it was not what we
wanted, after all.
SAYINGS OF LoNGFELLow.
The sunshine of life is made up of very
few, beams that are bright all the time.
How small portion of our lives is that
we truly enjoy. In youth we are LOOKING tor-
ward for things that are to come. In old age
we look backward to things that are past.
Many readers judge of the power OF
book by the shock it gives their feelings, as
some savage tribes determine the power OF
muskets by their recoil, that being considered
best which fairly prostrates the purchaser.
Men of genius are often dull in society; as
the blazing meteor when 1t descends to earth
is only stone.
The natural alone is permanent Fantastic
idols may be worshiped for while, but at
length they are overturned by the continual
and silent progress of Truth as the grim
statues of Copan have been pushed from
their pedestals by the growth OF forest-trees,
whose seeds were sown by the wind in the
ruined walls
The every day cares and duties which men
call drudgery are the weights and counter
poises of the clock of time, giving its pendu-
ium true vibration and its hands regular
uotion; and when they cease to hang upon
the wheels the pendulum no longer swings,
the hands no longer move, the clock stands
still.
The same object seen from the three diff
ferent points of view, the past, the present
and the future, often exhibits three different
faces to us like those sign-boards over shop
doors which represent the face of lion as we
approach, of man when we are in front and
of an ass when we have passed.
