CHARITY.

Oia the angel spirits,
That walk upon the earth,
There Is no fairer presence,
No one Of greater WORTH
Than this sweet angel Charity
White-robed and ieweled crowned;
Each gem tear OF sympathy,
For those whom grief hath found.
For worldly wealth and honor,
She careth not at all;
But blesJes with her presence
The cottage as the hall.
Where'er o heart is sorrowing,
Where there is want or griei,
Her kindly touch and gentle smile
Bring comfort and relief
She never stops to question
From whence the wanderer came;
Nor what his former station,
Nor what his fathers namei
But reacheth out helping.hand,
To lead the erring on,
And eaketh words OF friendly cheer,
When hope is almost gone.
The deadly serpent SlandeF,
She never stoops to heed,
But keeps the law Of kindness,
In speech as well US Decd
She gently says There's One who knows
The hearts OF great and small;
And is thorenaught We can commend?
Then do not speak at all"
Oh, there are other spirits,
That oft assume her name,
And by their boasted giving,
Her fadeless laurels claim;
Alas for all their charity
They give their yellow gold,
But richer dover Of sympathy
And comfort they withhold.
OCharity, blest Charity
The world OF thee hath need,
To mingle thy celestial grace,
With every human deed;
And il we ever pass the gates
Beyond the crystal sea,
The power by which we enter there,
WIN be Gods charity.

The widow In tIauyc.


In one of the rooms in the st.
Charles Hotel, New Orleans, young
lady was reclining on q lounge. As
soon as the porter had deposited her
trunks, shawls and belongings, she
changed her travelling dress for a
light dressing gown, andagain threw
herself on the lounge.
"send word to Mr.. George" she
said to the chambermaid, shat my
head is so much worse that l will
not go down to dinner, nor can l see
him again this evening"
The girl went and returned with
a message from George that he, too,
was u little ailing-that he had sent
for cup of tea and a piece of toast,
and that he would tetire early.
Miss Woodville-that was her
name-let her thoughts run on thus:
"Poor, grave, serious GeorgoI lex
pcct he is rather glad than other.
wise to be excused from entertain
ing a frivolous creature like me.
Now he can retire early to his hearts
content, after slipping his tea and
nibbling his toast, like a Miss Nancy,
as he is! What a humdrum man he
isl l supposed he should be liked
because he is so very good. But how
Maria can ever think of marrying
him is more than l can tell. When
my time comes | don't want a mid.

George. Give me young man who
is not a saint on earth, and I'll an
swer for him,

who would not set himself up as a
"gruel and grits" Christian went on
and on until she fell asleep which
was the very best thing she could do
for her headache.
She is petite, pretty and interest
ing-but I am not going to describe
dropping eyelashes and. retrotIsse nose.
l will not argue the question wheth-
or her hair is reddish.gold or gold
ish-red, for her looks have very little
to do with my story.
Miss Woodville is travelling with
Mr.. George because he is engaged to
marry her best friend, Maria Mears,
and she is to be brides maid-they
are on their way to Mr., Mears' house,
where they arc to spend three weeks
previous to the wedding.
They have reached New Orleans,
where they are to stay over night,
and then in the morning take the
cars to Moarsdalc, about sovonty.fivo
miles from tho city. When Miss
Woodvillc awokc, she would have
found herselfin complete darkness
had it not been for the faint streak
of gas.light which came in over the
top of tho door,
"Whutl so late that tho gas is
lightcd2" she exclaimed,
She INDUCED in twoor three yawns
and a stretch to wake herself
Thoroughly, and then she struck Il
match and looked at her watch.
"Can 1t be possible that it lacks
only u few minutes of oloycnP" she
cried; "yot stayl What is that hear
Music at this late hourl"
She Immediately went to the dool
and listened,

This must be a very gay placer
