Poor, sweet Pccola Did you hear
what happened to Piecola. children dear
'lis seldom Fortune such favor grants
As fell TO this little maid Of France.
Twas Christmas time, and her parents poor
Could hardly drive the wolf from the door,
Striving with poverty's patient pain
Only 10 live till summer asain.
No gist for Piccola sad were they
Whsn davned The morning OF Christnss-day
Their little darling no Joy mi gh. stir.

But PlccOla never doubted at all
That something beautiful must betaIl
Every child upon Chrstmas-dsy.
And 30 she slept I'LL the dawn was gray
And full Of faith, when at last she woke,
She stole to her shoe as the morning broke
Such sounds OF gladness filed all the air.
Twas plain 81, Nicholas had been there
In rushed Piceols sweet, half wild
Never was seen such joyful child.
'See what the good saint brought" she cried
And mother and father must peep inside
Now such a story | never heard
There was a little shiverin- bird
\ sparrow, that in at the window flew,
Had crept into PlceoIa's tiny shoe
" how good poor Picccla must have been %
She cried, as happy as any queen,
While the starving sparrow she led and warmed,
And canesd with rapture, she was 50 charmed.

One day. when wandering on the shore
That once was ruled by MarineI.,
l found within cle;ted rock
A strangely twisted, curious shell
With spiral vhorls Of pearly white.
And hollows tinged with roseats light.
This she'll possessed a wondrous power,
For, placed against the listeners ear,
He heard, though gentle. faint and low.
The tones Of those he held most dear;
Though parted far by laud or wave,
The faithful she'll an echo gave.
"Oh. happy gift to man." said l.
More precious than the painters art
How oft shalt thou. 10 distant climes,
Console the ever faithful heart,
Bring back the cherished voice again,
And take from absence half its pain"

For those who own il will lament
That never, through its echoes faint,
Can tidings from the loved be sent
The distant sound is only caught,
But never word or message brought.
Twill only waken yearnings vain,
Twill only pierce the heart anew,
And bring TO mind ten-fold pain
The anguish Of the last adieu.
When all is lost beyond recall.
It's better far veil should fall"
She ceased. turned ami threw the shell
Beneath the tossing, foAminz tide;
Too well can memory waken grief,

Love needs it no: for Love can last
When all the things Of time are past.

IHE FORGOTTEN IER.-You have never
really seen picture Of despair and utter
misery and sore distress and amazcment, un-
less you have seen man standing in the
presence OF the wife Of his bosom, and Of the
other members of his family. and. reach
ing into his pocket to hand her the letter
that be had got out of the postohice for her,
bring out Of that inside pocket crumpled,
rnmpled, creased envelope, once white, but
now looking as though it had associated
with cigars tor many long day, the very
identical letter which She had written TO her
mother. or dear, dear, friend six weeks ago,
and given her perh1ious husband to mail.
The very letter that he had sworn a thousand
times he mailed, and even related little
Joke that Postmaster Sunderland had got of
about it, in order to prove that he handed
II to the government in person. And there
it is in the unhappy husband guilty hand,
and his wife eyes start from their spheres
as she gazes upon the weil-remembered al
though cigar-stained address. She does not
sc0ld-not she, the angel. She does not
swear, as her husband would do in her case,
and as he does in own. mentally. She does
not get up and kick over the piano-s.ool and
drown the trembling caitiff in torrent OF
talk. She only looks at the letter and then
at the man and says, "Well :" And that
man would rather be sworn at for a straight
month than have that well dropped on
HIN. 1t crushes him like pile driver.
There are probably 1900 ways of saying
well ' hut ony woman can say it with
the accent which belongs to it under these
circumstances, and the wretched man starts
to say about 40 things, and doesn't finish
one Of them. He feels that he has given
himself away 10 be sure. lie would like
the ground to open and swallow him up;
bat the ground appears to enjoy the play
too well TO spoil it by taking away one Of
the stars. No living nan has the nerve to
90 through such a scene and keep his senses
sufficiently about him 10 recOllect anything
after that well is shot at him. But it is
matter Of record that the man mopes about,
cuts a cord Of kindling wood. and fixes that
kitchen shutter, and carries in all the house
plants, and counts them to see how many
brackets will be needed in that bay-window ;
and he puts up the hanging-baskets, and sets
the mouse-trap, and carries in stove wood
enough to last a month, and tries to talk
gossip, and saws he'll have Daubs come
around in the morning and grain the front
door and tries to be rs good as he knows
how, and, finally, declaring that he is not
sleepy, he sits until alter nine O'Clock, and
breads going to bed worse than the late Mr..
Rogers dreaded going TO the stake ; and
when he does 90, in fear and trembling, he
finds his deceived wife's eyes open so wide
and tight that You couldn't shut them with
a monkey-wrench. And here we drop the
veil over the dreadful scene.-Burliagton

DEJAzET OF Nirginie Dejazet-as usual

One evening. said Dejazet, was on my

from an entresol of wine shop singing-it
such discordant sounds can be called sing

terror Of the shop, discovered a wretched
corkscrew staircase, draped with red cotton,
which in half minute | had climbed, and
found myself in low. hali-lighted room
where five workmen, in shirt-sleeves, were
drinking rather too much wine and singing
as | said, my darling " LiSette.'
" Oh, mes eniants. | exclaimed, " how
can you thus murder Beranger's Lisette ="
One Of these men less tipsy than the 9TH
ers came close up to me, looked earnestly in
my face, and cried -
" Bah its Dejazet ~
- Yes, mes eniants." | replied - Dejl-
yet, who enueats you not to tear her best
loved song to pieces in this brutal manner,
of course you can't do better, because you
don't know how but [ will sing it for you,
and after that you must respect it."
." Ohio. how gent'He Of you ~ said the
men drawing near with the greatest respect
and attention.
- Sit down and keep quiet. replied,
and taking a seat opposite my i've listeners
sang Lisette.
With the exception of an irrepressible

one man and was silenced by an elbow
thrust by another every now and again, not
a sound. not movement interrupted my
song, but when it was finished such burst
of enthusiasm rewarded me that was oblg.

Evil or injurious reports concerning US
may someimes deserve considering. when
they are not worth contradicting. They
may point out some spot 10 our character

us with has not in fact been wrought.
