TRUTHS AND TRIFLES.

Two Western New York girls, during
| the absence of mater fdn,itids, sawed of
the tops of their bedposts for croquet
balls.
NATURE takes plain human face and
sets sweet thoughts and kindly impulses
at work upon it, and it grows into lofty
beauty.
ALL papas and mammas have exactly
| that sign which distinguishes objects at
distance clearly, while they need
spectacles to see those under their very
noses.
PEDANTRY il properly the overrating
of any kind of knowledge we pretend to,
and II that kind of knowledge be
trife in itself, the pedantry is the
greater.
The great question of the present is
whether it is better to carry two pounds
of dried applies or bar of ten cent soap
to the annual donation at the minister's
house.
FRANK MOORE, in his Record of the
Year." says that although Worcester is
pronounced Wooster, a small boy got
spanked at school the other day for SPELL
Ing TOOSleT, TOrCtstcI.
The peanut crop for this year is eight
hundred thousand bushels and no peO-
pie with eight hundred thousand bush
els of peanuts before them ever plunged
madly into civil strife.
WEEP NOT FOR DEATH.
Weep not for death
IT'S but fever stilled;
pain suppressed, fear at rest,
golden hope fulfilled.
The mO0nshine on the slumbering deep
Is scarcely calmer-wherefoTe weep2
Weep not for deathi
The fount Of tears Is sealed;
Who knows how bright the inward light
To those shut eyes revealed?
Who knows what peerless love may fill
The heart that seems SO cold and still?
The books which once we valued more
than the apple of the eye we have quite
exhausted. What is that but saying
that we have come up with the point OF
view which the universal mind took
through the eyes of one scribe; we have
been that man, and have passed on.
IT was evening. Three of them were
killing a cat. One OF them held Ian
tern, another held the cat, and the third
jammed the pistol in the cats ear and
fired, shooting the man in the hand who
held the cat, and the one with the Ian
tern was wounded in the arm. The cat
left when it saw how matters stood, and
that ill-feeling was being engendered.
THEY are awful glad over in Alexan.
der County, Illinois, that the election is
over. Their candidate for Congress was
J. ST. Clair JafIrelipghitzenhaus, and his
overwhelming defeat is due solely to the
fact that nobody was able to hurrah for
him without being stopped in the middle
of the cheer by presentiment of lock-
jaw.
The use Of scientific terms often be-
comes a sort of second nature with some
professional men. The Brooklyn Argus's
funny man, who incautiously struck the
back of his head against the sidewalk the
other day, piteously exclaimed, "Oh, my
poor n,edula oblongata." The crowd
thought he alluded to his wife, and that
she must be some Italian lady of rank.

LIFE IN DEATH.
by JULIA CLARK.

This grand old year, the treasure Of nation, lies
Before US In the solemn majesty OF death,
His snowy beard is trailing oer the sleeping
earth,
Where watching hours, arigh ted at his icy breath,
Haste on to give another year its joyous birth.
The specter of Eolias cave is wild with grief,
And walls In mournful oirges through the ltafess
trees,
Where dreamy whispers chase the dismal song
away,
And spirits echoes lingtr on the answering breeze
To catch the bell-tones Of the New Year round
clay.
The distant music of some seul's regret Is heard
In plaintive iDterlude adown the vale OF years,
There, hallowed perfumes from hopes dying
When life has stepped the heart in sweet, embit-
And neeting time no earthly recompense can
give.
The midnight, chiseled from the darkness grim and
hush,
Is waiting In the hour beyond, to drop her pail
In yelling mercy DER the world OF silent gloom,
The yoiceless future holds the destiny of all
The phantom past is buried in his yawning
tomb.
The dual forces OF electric nature burst
The boundaries of ebon night or pr, gnant day,
And bravey battle for the mastery OF eaIth,
Night, dark and sorr0wfu Is vanished In the Tray,
While morning dawns, enfeebled with the New
Years birth.

BY MARY CECIL HAY.

The old Cathedral white and, silent lies,
Its slender towers pointing to the skies,
Crowned ON each pinnacle with heavily light,
The moon LOOKS down and smiles her YER smile
Touching the world to loveliDess the while;
Yet breathing such a silence from her height
Ihat we could fancy even an angels tread
No holier calm upon the air could shed
Than this sweet silence OF the moonlit night
Twas on this day, just thirty years ago,
And all the land lay warm beneath the snow,
~ See higher still the shadows softly steal u
Ihey laid my darling in her narrow bed
While l, upon It's brink felt cold and dead,
Bearing sorrow which no time could heal.
For few moments with my weakness bear,
Though must join you In your midnight peal y
Remember remember Il SO well,
Each tiny snowflake kissed her, as 1t fell
Upon the lowly mound that stood alone;
For hours dumbly knelt, but could not pray,
And then turned and went my weary way
Missing the hand that used to clasp my own,
Missing the dear face ever at my side;
had but her In all the world SO widei
What wonder that my heart seemed turned 10
stone?
That night the old year died. Some one had said
That I-whose one eve lamb lay still and dead
should ring the birthday chime OF the New Year.
80, from my loneliness, rose aud came
Would not my grief be everywhere the same2-
An you remember now. So full and clear
Inc Joyous chime few on the frosty air
You wonder your laughter did not share,
now could you guess this was my w0rdess PRAYER,
And that knew at last my God could hear /?
Alone aud still, her grave lay far below,
Covered so softly by the quiet snow,
Covered so gently fer her last repose
But-far above-she dwelt In whittier dress,
In brighter JOY and purer loveliness
Aud tow'rds this homo our happy peal arose,
What wonder could lift my eyes at last
And-lifting them-the darkest hour seemed past
I'm coming, friends-hOw dim the moonlight
grows
Just thirty times, with every newborn year.
Have been one among the ringers here,
Aud now each tone has grown into a friend,
A faithful friend whose happy voice love,
The friend who bore my first weak prayer above,
In that great grief my Father chose to send,
Now my last peal some lonely heart shall cheer
And then though dying with the dying year
shall have borne his message to the end.
