and the writer really talked as though we
should be instructed only in household mat

of science should be open to us only so far
as it will benefit us in that direction. Now
are we not instructed IN these matters at

better fitted for teaching these things than

There are some fields of labor in which
man is successful where woman need not

have the same facilities for education? Why
not learn astronomy, philosophy-ayc and
Greek too if she has n taste for it9 She is

LONGING FOR SPRING.
ny MATTE LAWRENCE.

How long for the beautiful spring time,
When winter has finished its reign,
And tho warm April showers softly patter
On the bousetop, the hillside, and plain
They say to the crisp aeecy snow-banks,
Depart, for your labor Is done,
Mother Earth needs protection no lengor,
For tho race ofstern winter is run.
And Spring, blithe, merry maiden,
With crown Of wild flowers 10 grace
Her brow, Is to rule for a season,
And make earth bright. cheory place.
Tho trees she will clotho with fresh verdure,
The fields with carpet Of groom,
Sweet flowers, in forest and garden,
And Spring, lovely Spring, will be queen.
The mow.banks depart at the warning,
And soon from the rich fertile mould
We see the green grass slyly peeping.
Tho cowslip, like bright yellow gold,-
While the violet, modest and humble,
In some lone retreat hangs its head,
The peony, in bright regal beauty,
Proudly mods, on It's warm sunny bed.
The birds, Springs own sweet musicians,
Charm the car with their melody rare,
As they Tit through the orchard so swiftly,
With their plumage so glossy and fair,
Thon they swing on the boughs mid tho blossoms,
And sing of the beauties Of spring,
Ofthc breeze waited DER fields Of flowers,
Bringing strength and new life on its wing.
Yes, long for thy coming, sweet Spring-time,
with thy birds, and tho warm gentle showers
For the earth, now so cold and so dreary,
Soon would change in the bright sunny hours )
And the perfume of leaf, bud, and blossom
Would float on the breeze as 1t roams
Der the earth, on its mission ceaseless,
Bringing beauty and JOY to our homes

POSSIBILITIES.
by PAUL PAsTNoR.

Ifaught could ill our empty soul
With reverence and love,
Could lift our darkened sight above
An earthly crown, an earthly GOAL
Think not that God that gin would giant
To fill the measure of the wantl
Each day brings more than we can tell;
Each blessing is a roll OF gold, ....
Whose wondrous riches must unfold
Ere we can read its lesson we'll,
Gods mercy leaves a bright impress
Upon the glosm of dark distress.
A wealth Of treasure all refused;
A throadbare soul, hollow creed
A closed and sealed-a cherished need;
A sheaf of noble powers unused
The golden upward paths untrod-
Fen that doth man deny his God
o for line these depths to sound
o for ray to pierce this night
o to unmask this shrouded sight,
To view the spirit depths Profound
These hopes are ours, and yet not ourS;-
Gods possibilities Of powers.
