Beautiful Things.

Beautiful faces are those that wear
1t matters little if dark or fair
Nhole-souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panes where hearth-fires grow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those where words
Leap from the heart like songs of birds,
Yetwhose utterance prudence girds
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest, brave, and true
Moment by moment the long day through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to and fro
Down lowliest ways, if God wills itso.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens of hourly care
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose hidden fountain few may guess
Beautiful twilight at set of sun,
Beautiful goal, with race well won,
Beautiful rest, with work we'll done.
Beautiful grave, where grasses creep,
Where brown leaves fall, where drifts lie deer
over worn-out hands-oh, beautiful sleepl

During the winter evening, when the
our tame rat, Billy, was usually to be
found ON the table rummaging among
their books and catching at their pens;
which latter amusement he enjoyed very
much after the manner of kitten run
mug after knitting needle drawn quick
ly up and down the table, but as these
amusements rather interfered with the
studies, Billy would occassionly be dis
missed to the kitchen, to which he had
great dislike. He never stayed there
AIRY longer than he could help, but on
the first chance would lush up stairs and
scratch, or rather, l should say, gnaw for
admittance. Speaking of this gnawing
leads me to observe that one objection
had to receiving him was the fear that
hi would be very mischevous; but fortu
patelv / never found him so. He had
free access TO pantry where variety OF
eStableS, usually considered dear to rats
heart were to be found, but | never knew
him to iRjure anything, or even TO cut
paper covering of any parcel, no matter
what it contained. No doubt it was
partly owing to his being so well fed
ger. ! generally scattered for him on the
shelves some grains of rice or pieces of
starch, snd to those he helped himself
when inclined. From soap or candles
he turned away in disgust, being far too
wsll-brcd rat to indulge in such low
astes; but he dearly loved bit of plum
cake ahd, shall | confess it he was by
no meafs teetotaler. If ale was used
at: dinner, he would rush eagerly about
the glasses until he was supplied with
some III a spoon. | believe, before he
came to US, he had been accustomed to
even stronger rotations, in which, how
ever, we did not indulge him. have
SAID he was not mischevious, neither was
be-, as mischief among rats is generally
understood; but there is no rule without
exceptions, and Billy had decided pen
chant fer kid gloves. 1t any were lett
csTelessly about he was sure to get hold
of them and have the fingers eaten off in
| a Few minutes. | cannot tell how many
| gloves ne destroyed, until repeated lessons
| of this sort enforced more steady habits.
| / must not omit to mention his love of
music when he heard the piano he would
rush to the drawlng-room and spring to
the performers knees, where he would re-
main perfectly quiet, evidently listening
with much pleasure. When he first came
he was very restless, seeming to live in a
state Ct perpetual motion; but he soon
| learned to come upon the knee be caress-
eel and have his head rubbed, which opera

According to the Golden Rule, lew
people know the value of sweet apples
as food. 1t says: Baked and served
with cream, they make a light and most
delicious dessert. Sliced, and used in
buildings of various sorts, they save other
sweetening, and give grateful elemeI
of freshness to the dish. And this sug-
gests that one reason why baked apples
of any kind fall into disfavor in many
families is because they are not fresh.
A tinful or two is baked up to "save
time" and they come upon the table
more and more dead and dilapidated,
shrunken and slippery, until the very
sight of them discourages and sickens the
family. A baked apple over one day
old is passed its prime; and an apple like
an egg, that " has seen better days. we
don't want to exercise our charity on
But it is in putting the finishing to1ch on
bowl of bread and milk that baked sweet
apples find their highest mission. Given
milk that is pure and fresh; bread that is
both foreordained and perfected In grace
for such q use, which means homemade,
milk-rising bread, little stale, but hight,
moist and sweet, and plate OF apples Just
done through, and only long enough out OF
the oven to have lost their heat without
getting really cold, and you have a lunch

of the men who are in ssthe king bust

Of nutriment found in bread, milk and
fruit; and If there is anything better
than this combination, the fact hasn't
leaked out, either through science Or ex-
perience. One meal day CT bread ana
milk and sweet apples, for children and
people of sedentary habits, would De
better than the food which costs much
more than many of them now in

of lime water will prevent the unpleas-
ant effect which milk has on some stom-
achs. No keen appetite is required 70

ton that is good for anything has any
trouble with it after it IS eaten.

The Little Maid That Slept.

sombre folds the windows shroud,
Phantom figures come and GO
Hearts that must not break too loud,
Muffied footfal, whispers low,
Cool def hands-about bed
Where, meath fever's scorchlng sway
Lies little restless head,
Tossing, tossing, tossing aye.
But the hour of fate draws nigh,
And the mId-sun overhead
Shrieks and drops from out the sky
Yea, the child is dead!
But she lies so dimpling fair,
In her be l-gown long and white.
With her waves of heavy hair
Drowning neck and shoulder bright,
With the fiower-lips Just apart,
Half way budded to smile
Pure young heart, O sweet child heart,
Hardly smirched with human guile!
Life SO bright on cheek and brow
And those thin white lips Of hers
Fancy whispers, softly now,
Softly-see, she stirsp
But the twin hands fairy small,
Crossed above the bosom's snow,
Never rise and hang and full
With the breath's soft ebb and flow.
Yea, the breaking mother heart,
Throbbing close, in anguish prest,
Vainly would its warmth impart
To the blue-veined marble breast;
Kisses win no kissed reply,
Yea, the pet name softly said
Lures no smile to mouth and eye
Truly, she is dead.

Wrapt in slumber still and fair,
To- His hands just touch her clay,
"Little maiden, wake, arise"
And the sharp sweet light of day
Smtes in lightning on her eyes,
And the blood's swift tide again,
Like stream its chain that breaks,

AS she signs, and smiles, and wakes,
Lips that laugh and eyes that weep,
Throat that thrills with stiled scream
