The following is a summary OF the re-
port of our public schools for the first
month Of the current school year.
Average monthly enrolment, 513; av-
erage daily attendance, 4S5; average daily
absence, "a; per cent. of attendance 95;
whole number of cases of tardiness, 20;
time lost by tardiness, 6 hours AZ minutes
The examination at the end of the
month shows signs of hard work by both
teachers and scholars. Parents and guard
ians could aid US very much if pupils
were not kept at home. sometimes for the
most trivial causes. This absence is
source of annoyance to the teacher in her
work, and an absolute Injury to the
school. The prosperity of our schools
could be enhanced if we could secure a
larger per cent. of attendance

Like fragrant zephyrs from the shores of

sootho my every sorrow, and lead mo to high
and holy scenes of immortal youth and beau
ty. Ye come to me in visions ut midnleht's

to my soul are given of that far cline across
whose sky no storm cloud ever sweep,.
where grief can no more dim tho eve all
radiant with love divine, where none are
known to weep, and not II sigh is heard
All, blisstul thought ye come to me amid
the cares, anxieties, and perplexites that
cloud earth's fairest scenes, and wait my
soul away to land of endless beauty. of
countless flowers, of fadeless hues; to that
home of eternal delights, where smiles of
heavenly peace on the faces of cherubims
increasingly flow, where their sweet anthems
swell the full chorus that gladdens the
hearts Of the eternally redeemed; to that
homo where the beautiful roses of paradise
shed their soft perfume and draw forth their
life and beauty from the tomb; where the
angel of beauty is floating forever on pinions
OF light; to that home where no pestilence
rides on the wings OF the air no waves of

AN ANNIVERSARY,

In a chamber old and oaken,
In a faint and ALTERING way,
Halfa dozen words were spoken,
Just eleven years to-day.
What was bound and what was broken,
Let woman's conscience say.
Halfa dozen words excited,
Whispered by lovers side;
Half delighted, half afffighted.
Half in pleasure, half in pride:
And maiden's troth is plighted,
And false love-hnot is tied.
Has maiden not feeling
That can swell, and sing, and scarf
Came not DER her spirit stealing
Thoughts Of things that were beforei
In her heart did no revealing
Tell her love was something morei
Barely half dozen glances,
Half in earnest, half in mirth-
Five, or six, or seven dances
What is suchla wooing WORTH
Courtship in which no romance is
Cannot give a true love birth.
Passion is 9pain and power
Slowly growing unto might,
By long Jigils, not the hour;
Real lote is not at sight.
IT'S weed tits not flower
That arises in night.
Lightlyls the promise spoken,
Lightly is the love-knot tied;
And the maid redeems the token,
Lying at her husband side;
And her heart-it is not broken,
But IT is not in its pride.
With the years shall come feeling,
Never, may be, felt before:
She shall find her heart coRcealing
Wants it did not know of yore;
Silently the truth revealing,
Real love is something more.

How Mr.. Levings played draw poker on
the Fourth is told by the Kansas CITY Times =:
MIR. Levings had played the game some
with another old man, wherein he had al.
ways been beaten, and for some time past
his study by day and his meditation BY
night had been how to get even. On the
I'd OF July friend told him how it could
be done. He and the friend were to sit
down to little game with the old man !;
when the friend had full hand he was to
telegraph to the merchant by rubbing his
right ear softly, and so on through ali the
changes Of the game. The scheme seemed
feasible, and the merchant devoted the entire
day to learning the telegraphic signs which
were to bring confusion upon the old man
and wealth to his own pocket. On the
morning Of the Fourth he sauntered into the
old mans place with such sweet smile as
those only can wear who have an approving
conscience Of four aces. His quiet comforter
and friend was sitting in the back part Of
the room, as innocent as the flowers of May;
and on being invited to take hand seemed
surprised and reluctant, but fually con.
sented. Then the old man wanted to be let
in. The merchant demurred at frst but
finally agreed. Soon the private telegraph
was put in operation, but, though the signals
were given correctly, and read apparently
with ease, they didn't correspond with the
facts. Several games were lost in trying to
get the hang of it, and at last the merchant,
being about $50 out, said he never liked to
play poker on the Fourth of July--it al
ways seemed to him like breaking the sab
bath-and left the room, giving his tee.
graphic friend look as he passed that
would have melted the heart of a stone. A
few moments after the old man and the
telegrophic poker player were seen dividing
about $50 into moieties."

was borne out by the gentle but marked
rebuke that the Cardinal gave the too
ardent address-maLer, who seemed to be
in hurry for the Church to join issue
with the State in this country, and for
the Cardinal to lay his head on the
block. 1t is also supported by the Car

deeply conscious" said Cardinal Nc
Closky, "of the very great and even
sublime dignity which has been conferred
upon me, and am only Inundated at
the Thought that l am SO little worthy oft,
and that it has not fallen upon stronger
and ADLER shoulders than mine" Fur
Their on he said: "The Office or dignity
of Cardinal is not now what it once was !;
it no longer brings with it wealth or
powers, or great influence in the world.
1t has no longer anything in it that can
justly excite the jealousy or the envy of
kings, or princes, or people. 1t is an Of
fee of dignity, which in these days, /
may say, Is post of danger" The
thought of the burdens, the duties of the
post, and the possible day of trial or day
of danger, when the Cardinal must show
himself in the vanguard, had been the
reason of his accepting more readily and
freely the dignity conferred upon him.
So much, of course, was due to the Occa-
sion, but it is safe to believe that no "day
of trouble or day of danger" will be
fastened on by any act Of this large
minded and patriotic, truly American
prelate.-Bost0n transcript.
