POETRY.
The Little Brown Seed ina the
EurrOW.

A little brown seed in the furrow
Lay stu in its gloomy bed,
While violets blue and lilies white
Were whispering oveFheard.
They whispered of glories strange and rare,
OF glitterihg dew, and floating air,
OF beauty and rapture eyerywhere,-
And the seed heard all they said.
Poor little brown seed in the furrow,
SO close to the lilies feet,
So far away from the great, glad day,
Where life seemed ali complete.
La her heart she treasured every word,
And she longed for the blessing of which she
heard,
For the light that shone, and the airs thai
stirred
In that land, SO wondrous sweet
The little brown seed 10 the furrow
Was thrilled with 8 strange unrest;
A warm new hope beat trembiingly
In the tiny, heaying breast;
With her two small hands clasped close II
prayer,
She lifted them up in the darkness there;
Up, up through the sod, toward sun and air
Her folded hands she pressed.
o little brown seed in the furrow, =
At last you have pierced the mould
And, quivering with q life intense,
Your beautiful leaves unfold,
Like wings outspread for upward fight;
And slowly, slowly, and dew and light,
A sweet bud opens It'll, in Gods sight,
You wear a crown of gold
IDA w .sBEsRAAs, St. Nicholas for July.

Hold On. BOYS!

Hold on 10 your tongue when yOl
are just ready to swear, lie or speat
harshly, or to use an improper word.
Hold on to your hand when you arr
about to pinch, strike, scratch, steal o.
do any improper act. as- Ii'.I -
Hold on to your foot when you art
on the point of kicking, running away
rom study, or pursueing the path o
error, shame or crime.
Hold on to your temper when you
are angry, excited or imposed upon, OF
others are angry with you.
Hold on to your heart when evil as
sociates seek your company, and invite
You to join in their games, inirth and
revelry.
Hold on to your good name at all
times for it is of more value than gold
high position, or fashionable attire.
Hold on TO truth, for it will serve
you we'll, and do you through at time.
Hold on to yirtue--it is above all
price to you, under the circumstances
Hold on to your good character, for
it is, and ever will be your best wealth.

Those Editors!

In Scribner for July, Miss Jane
Stuart tells the following anecdote OF
her father, Gilbert Stuart. the artist.
She says:
Stuart once painted head Of friend
to whom he was very much attached,
and who had recently died. But the
panel upon which it was painted began
to split through the middle. My father
triei to find some one who could join
it with out injury, but all declined it
as an impossiDility. One person who
happened to see it, however, declared
with great confidence that he was sure
he could do the work satisfactorily.
He took the panel away, and in time
it vas returned joined in the neatest
and firmest manner; but 10 and behold.
the man had shaved the picture down
until all the features met! The nos
trils came. together, also the corners of
the mouth, entirely leaving out the
bridge of the nose. When things are
written with care for the press and
then are cut down tosuit the publish
ers, am always reminded of this oc-
currence, for the latter process pro.
duces an uncomfortable vacancy, and
brings to very sudden termination
circumstances that require explana-
ton. ~ ft+ f. -a. -FuBlT EEule
