Books.

Books are not made for furniture, but
there is nothing else that so beautifully
furnishes house. The plainest row Of
books is more significant of refinement
than the most deliberately carvcd side
board Give us a home furnished with
books rather than furniture-both if you
can, but books at any rate. To spend
several days at friends house, and
hunger for something to read, whilo you
are treading on costly carpets, and sit
ting on luxurious chairS and sleeping
upon down, is as if one were bribing your
body for the sake of cheating your mind.
Books are the windows through which
the soul looks out. A house without
them is like room without windows. No
man has a right to bring up his Children
without surrounding them with books,
if he has the means to buy them. 1t is
a wrong to his family. Children learn
to read through being in the presence of
books The love of knowledge comes
with reading, and grows upon IL; and
the love of knowledge in young mind
is almost warrant against the inferior
excitements Of passion and vice.

A Loving Mother.

Make the most Of her while yet you
have this most precious of all good gifts.
Read the unfathomed love Of those Dyes,
the kind anxiety of that tone and look,
however slight your pain. In after life
you may have friends, fond, dear, kind
friends; but never will you have again
the indispensable love and gentleness
lovished upon you which none but a
mother bestows. Often do | sigh in my
struggle with the hard, uncaring world
for the sweet, deep security felt when
of an evening nestled in her bosom, 1
listened so some quiet tale, suitable to
my age, read in her tender and untiring
voice. Never can | forget her sweet
glances cast upon me when APP
pearcd asleep--never her kiss of peace
at night. Years have passed away since
we laid her beside my father in the old
churchyard, yet still her voice whispers
from the grave, and her eyes watch over
me as | visit spots long since hallowed
to the memory Of my mother.

THE AWAKENING.
From da, to day the dreary Heaven

From day to day the dreary Heaven
Outpoured its hopeless heart in rain;
The conscious pines, halt-shuddering, heard
The secret of the East winds pain.
Mist yelled the SUM- the sombrc land,
In floating cloudwracks densely furled,
Seemed shut forever from the bloom
And gladness of the living world.
From week to week the changeless Heaven
Wept on; and still its secret pain
To the bent pine-trees sobbed the wind,
In hollow truces of the rain;
TIL in sunset hour, whose light
Pale tints of radiance pulsed o'erhead-
Altar the moaning East wind died,
And the mild West wind breathed instead
Then the clouds broke and ceased the rain;
The sunset many kindling shaft
Shot 10 the woods heart Nature rose,
And through her clipped verdure laughed
Low to the breeze--as some fair maid
Love wakes from troublous dreams might rise
Half-dazed yet happy, mists OF sleep
Still lowering in her haunted eyes

How Little We Know.

How little we know of each other,
As we pass through the journey oflife,
~ With its struggles, its fears its temptations
Its heart breaking cares and its strife!
We can only see things on the surface,
For few people glory in sin,
And an unruffled face is no index
To the tumult which RACES within.
How little we know OF each other
The man, who, to-day, passes by,
Blessed with honor and fortune and titles,
And holding his proud head on high,
May carry a dread secret within him,
Which mrkes in his bosom hell
And he, sooner or later. 4 telon,
May writhe in the prisoners cell.
How little we know of each other!
The woman of fashion who sncerS,
At the poor girl, betrayed and abandoned,
And left to her signs and her tears,
May, ere the sun rises. to- morrow,
Have the mask rudely torn from her face
And sink from the height of pure honor
To the purleus of shame and disgrace.
How little we know of each other!
Of ourselves too little we know;
Weare all weak, when under temptation,
All subject to error and woe.
Then let blessed charity rule,
Let us put away all envy and spite.
For the skeleton grim in our closet.
May, some day, be brought to the light.
