degeneracy of modern times, the event
is scarcely known or noticed. We well
remember the good old Tines before
the war when this day was one of the
great events of the year; for this was
the general training day, and in con-
formity with ancient usage, the Keno
sha Rifles and City Guards, the two
crack military companies of the city,
would don their bright uniforms and
after parading around town would re-
pair to the lake shore and have a target
practice, while the evening festivities
always included one or more military

EMWA'S LAST WORDS

Father, mother, sister, brother,
Is it true that [ must die?
] cannot bear to leave you,
grieve to say Good Bye.
Life, for me is brightest sunshine,
And my years not one-half told;
Keep me, keep me with you,
All the clouds are fringed with gold.
Has my heart at last stopped beating?
Life drifting fast away:
Will my eyes close and open not,
Upon one more bright day?
The shadows of tile unknown world,
Are gathering DER my SOUL
feel the lifetide going,
My hands are growing cold.
Father mother, sister, brother,
Each and all one last goodbye?
Well meet in our home in Heaven,
SO grieve not, nor weep nor sigh. g

MINNIE's LESSOR.
BY MRS. S. G. BAIRD.
Racine, Feb. Is, 1871.

MINNIE walked home frons school
one evening with very thoughtful,
sober face, unlike the usually merry
girl that she was. Miss Wells had been
telling the pupils a story that day of a
good man whose whole life was spent
in doing good and trying to make 9th
ers happy, and all Of the pupils had
promised to make some one happy du-
ring the week. Their teacher was very
kind and endeayored to teach them
something that was not found in their
school books every day she related sto-
ries, interested herself in their plays,
or took them out among the trees and
flowers to teach them something from
nature, and the pupils repaid her with
love and the ready consent they gave
to all her wishes. When school was
dismissed and the girls were putting
on their wraps, eager voices were dis
cussing the subject, and to hear them
talk, one would think nothing was ea-
sier than to make some one happy.
Ida Love said she had a dollar which
her father had given her at Christmas
time, and she was going to buy some
thing for Annie Davis, who was al
cripple, and could not run about and
play like other girls. Another girl was
going to give some clothes to some poor
children. To Minnie it seemed that
they all intended to give something to
make some one happy, and she sadly
thought how little she had to give.
Her mother was poor widow who
could scarcely earn enough to feed and
clothe her little family, and Minnie Of
ten wished she was old enough to help
her. When she arrived home, her
mother was sewing and wished Minnie
would amuse her little brother who
was tired of playing by himself. She
was very fond of Bonnie and soon they
were having merry times playing to-
gethcr. That evening when Bonnie
was asleep, Minnie brought her little
stool and sat down beside her mother.
1t was her custom every evening to
I tell her mother what she had learned at
school, and the stories her teacher had
related.
do you think, mamma, Miss Wells
meant we should all give something to
make others happy?" asked Minnie af-
! ter she had related her teachers talk
with the pupils.
"No. Minnie, there are other ways Of
doing good. Do you remember the
verse you was singing this morning?
"Little acts Of kindness, little words
N of love,
Make this earth an Eden like the
Heaven above
Gentle words and little acts of kind
ness are quite as essential as money to
make people happy. | am happier
now, though we are poor, with little
daughter, who tries to do right, than I
lwould be with plenty Of money, and a
naughty, disobedient little girl. !
When Minnie kissed her mother
goodnight she put her arms around
her neck and whispered Il will try
to be good girl, mamma, and make
You happy" The next morning she
