A Beautiful Thought.

When tho summer Of youth Is slowly
wasting away on tho nishtfa'l of age
and the shadow Of the path becomes
deeper and deeper, the life wears to It's
close, it is pleasant to look through the
vista of time upon the sorrows aud fe'
lici,ics Of our early years. 1t we nave
4 home to shelter aud hearts to rejoice
with US. and friends have been gathered
around our Gresides, and the rough
places of wayfarins will have been wor1
and smoothsd away in the twilight oI
life. the many dark spots We have passed
through will grow brighter and more
beautiful. Happy, indeed are those
whose intercourse with the world has no
changed the tona of their holier feeling
or broken those musical chords OF tn
heart whose vibrations are SO melodious
so tender and so touching IN the evening
Of thcil life.

Silent Men.

Washington never made Il ,pcech. In
the zenith of his fame he once alton pied
it, failed, and gave it ~ confused AMI
abashed In framing the Constitution
Of the United States, the labor vas al.
most wholly performed 10 committee Of
the whole, of which George Washing
ton was the chlrmsn; but he made tso
speeches during the convention of a
very few words each. The concn.ion,
however, acknowledged the mas;er
spirit, ani historians affirm ,hs; ifit hid
not been for his personal popS!ariIy md
the thirty words o(his first sncech, pro.
uouncing it the best that could be usItcd
upon, the constitution would h,Ya sGre-
ly been rejected by the people. T6oa'as
Jefferson never made . speech. He
could not DO it. Napoleon, whose exc.
utvc ability is almost without a parr'!el
said that his'greatest officially was il
finding men Of deeds rather than worls.
When asked hos he maintained his III
Auence over his superiors in age aud cx-

The greatness of man is not measured
by the length Of his speeches aud their

Interesting to record is the last will

after filing the two continents Of Eu-
rope and Asia with his fame. Sultan
Of Egypt. he conquered Syria, Arabia,
Persia. Mesopotamia, and captur;d Js-
rusaIem in 1887. His conques.s suficed
to enable US to judge Of the extent Of
his power and wealth. At his death.
however, he showed that no one was
more intimately convinced of the utter
hollowness of the riches and greatness
of the world. He ordered By his will,
first. that considerable snms should De
distributed to Mussulmans, Jews AID
Christians, in order that the priests ofthe
three religions might impIorc the mercy
of God for him; next, lie commanded
that the shirt or tunic lie should be

A CHILD OF NATURE.
BY JOAQUIN MILLER.

How beautiful she was How wild!
How pure rs water plant, this child,
This one wild child Of nature here
Grown tall in shadows. And how near
To God, where no man stood between
Her eyes and scenes no man hath seen.
Stop still, my frierd, and not stir,
Shut close your page and think Of her.
This maiden by her cabin stood,
The one sweet woman Of the wood,
The birds sang swecter for her face'
Her little eyes were like grace
To woodmcn of that solitude.
Ave, she was fair. and very fair,
The rippled rivers o! her hair
That ran in wondrous waves, someho"
Flowed down divided by her brow,
And flooded all her breast Of snow
In its uncommon fold and aow.
Yet in her splendid strength, her eyes,
There lay the lightning Of the skies;
The love rage OF the lioness,
To kill the instant, or caress;
A pent up soul that sometimes grew
impatient; why, she hardly knew.

Lapland.

a French traveller, NJ. Vandal, who
recently visited Northern Sweden to sec
the "mlduight sum-" as it appears on the
24th of June, gives the following ac-
count Of the country aud its people "If
the Lapps deserve the palm Of ugliness
among all the inhabitants of old Europe,
their country is assurcdly the most
frightful of our continent. Horror is
its special Characteristic; stony plains
succeed dried up marshes, the soil only
shows at long intervals, covered with a
blackish moss. Yet We are crossing
forests, but the frs composing them do
not pass three feet in height. The zone
Of dwarf trees succeeds that of gigantic
frs, like Lapps beside Scandiuasians
Now and then strip Of cultivated land
brings rest to the eye; rye AMI wheat
ripen in forty days, and beneath an un.
setting sun acquire strange ana rapid
development. In the north, corn stalks
are often taller than the trees. Some
times few lowly flowers tinge the hill
side with their sickly greenery, scarcely
tall as grass which has jus. bsgan to
grow. But these fugitive appearances
do not last-the desert begins again.
Tumble down cabins, in which the cat.
tie are shut up in winter, occur here
and there on the plains, and only and
through their ruiuous appearance to the
gloomy desolatencss of the landscape.
The country, nevertheless,is not without
its inhabitants; there arc neither towns
nor villages, but the miserable build :
ings scattered along the river side ap-
pear at short intervals. Perched Oh
blocks of stone, which in winter defend
them against the assaults of the snow
they look rather like huts affording
shelter to a nomad population than per-
manent shelters for protection OF fami-
lies under climate the most rigorous
in the world. Broad skaes stand ny
against the walls; their purpose Is to
bear the sledges which were used yes
terJay and will be used again to morrow
On the threshold half naked children
gaze at US as We pass their yellow
hair thrown like golden nim5us round
their heads. Sometimes tall men smukc
their pipes gravely befors their door, all
wearing red flannel shirts, scarlet caps
and kind Of sleeveless vest in coarsc
woollen stuff, black or green. Under
sky without light, in 4 colorless coun'
try, the Films have a passion for those
bright tints and high tone Of color which
nature denie. them. The women wear
gowns striped blue and red and parti
colored bodiccs.
The night Of June 81 is celebrated
in Northern Sweden by festival which
has pcrpetuatcl itself from pagan times
In Finland it is preceded by univers,
open air bath, taken by persons Of botl
sexes and all ages. The day of th'
24,h is chosen by young folks for theil
betrolhsl on Mount Avasax. On the
first rising Of the sun, hymn Is sun!
by women. As soon as its full dlsl
appears there is an explosion Of JOY
choruscs are sung, long strings OF dan
cers stream along the sides Of the roun
ded plateau of the mountain, and bon
fires mix their pale light with the sun
rays.
