Words nC Wisdom

Great gifts make beggars bold.
Be wise worldly, but not worldly
wise.
1t is right to be contented with what
we have; never with what we are.
Many people find their only happi.
ness in forcing themselves to be un.
happy.
Virtue requires no other recompense
than the tribute Ofself-approbation and
respect.
The flower which we do not pluck is
the only one which never loses its
beauty or its fragrance.
He who will not reason is bigot; he
who cannot is fool; and he who dares
not is a slave.
Truth is e,lipsed often, and it sets for
a night, but never Is it turned aside
from its eternal path.
Truth will never die; the stars will
grow dim, the sun will pale his glory;
but truth will ever be young.
Age is not all decay; it is the ripen.
ing, the swelling of the fresh life with
in, that withers and bursts the husk.
We learn to climb by keeping our
eyes not on the hills behind us. but on
the mountains that rise before us.
The beginning of faith is action, and
he only believes who struggles; not he
who merely thinks question over.
Every heart has its secret sorrow
which the world knows not, and often
times we call man cold when he is
only sad.
We are all more or less echoes, and
we repeat, in spite of our lives, the
virtues, the faults, the mOvements,a and
the characters of those who are always
with us,

ALICE'S VOCATION.

1t was large elegant room. The
pale flame of the lamp on the centre ia
BILE which was the only light, was hard
ly sufficient to more than dimly define
the carvings of the massive furniture
At the table were two girls, one busily
engaged in writing, and the other
standing with her hand on her sisters
shoulder, watching the rapid pen.
A little way from the light was del
icate, fragile looking lady reclining in
an invalid chair, while at her feet qui-
etly played two golden-haired children.
Mamma, dear, it is finished. See
If it will answer"
The pen stopped, and pushing her
hair back from her finely shaped fore
head, Alice began:
"a young lady wishes to obtain a
position as companion to an elderly la
dy or an invalid. She is well educated
and refined, and would be willing and
obllging in any way in her power"
"Oh, Allie" broke in her sister,
"How queer it seems-just a month
ago you were Miss Justin of Beech
wood and now-willing and oblig-
ing" with bitter emphasis on the
words).
"Josiep' the soft voice had tone of
rebuke, as Alice glanced toward her
mothers chair. Mrs. Justin's face was
hidden by one thin, white hand, and
through the slight fingers the tears
were stealing.
In moment both girls were by her
side. Josie impulsively flinging her
arms around her neck, while Alice gent
ly drew down the hand, and kissed
away the falling tears.
A month ago things had been very
different for the Justin's. An indul-
gent father had supplied them with ev-
cry luxury, and the great halls of Beech
wood had echoed voices of youthful
gayety. But the 'grim destroyer" had
come and stricken down in his prime
the indulgent father, and the widow
who for some time had been in delicate
health had found herself and children
left, Lot wealthy as every one supposed,
but absolutely not knowing where next
to turn for the necessities of life.
Mr.. Justin, like too many others, had
lived, spending freely and carelessly as
he went along, and not looking out for
the future; and when his affairs were
settled and all his debts paid, there
was nothing left. At first Mrs. Justin
was stunned; but she had risen to the
emergency. She rented a small cot
tage, and there with the help of ener
getic Josie, was to keep boarders, and
thus support herself and children. 1t
was bitter blow for her to consent to
the carrying out of Alice's plan ofgoing
as acompaniOn; but necessity knows
no law" and so the advertisement
which we have read came to be written.
As Alice alighted from the cars af-
ter her journey to the home of Miss
Grey, who had answered her advertise
ment, gentleman approached her, and
In pleasant voice, asked if she were
"Miss Justin" On her asserting, he
motioned to the driver of luxurious
coupe near by, and assisting her to en-
ter, lifted his hat courteously and walk
ed away.

Did you ever know boy, when he

A great merchant was accustomed to
tell his many clerks that he laid the

An cid woman had been seen for
many years hanging about the wharves
where vessels were loaded and unload

The other day she was badly hurt by
some heavy bags of grain falling on
her. The kind merchants took up a
purse for old Rosa, and sent her to her
hume in Hoboken, in charge of an
officer. What was bis surprise to find
that the neat and handsome furnished
cottage was the DrODertY of the old
grain picker. She had literally built
and furnished 1t, as the coral workers
do their homes, grain by grain.

PoETRY.
Avn Autumn Picture.

Sky deep, intense, and wondrous blue,
With clouds that sail the heavens through ;
And mountain slopes so broad and fair,
With here and there, amongst the green,
A maple or an ash-tree seen
In glowing color, bright and nre.
Green fields, where silvery ripples fade,
With cattle resting in the shade;
Far mountains, touched with purple haze
That, like veil of morning mist,
BY CLEANS of golden sunslight kissed,
Seems but breath Of by-gone days
And clover which has bloomed anew
Since shining scythes did cut it through,
And corn-felds with their harvest fair,
And golden-rod upon the hill.
And purple asters blooming still,
And sunlight melted into air.

The Valley Of the YOmOuri.
ISLAND OF CUBA.

ISLAND OF CUBA.
When the dull gray mists of the mornir
Hung over the land and sea,
We rode to the heights o'erlooking
The Vale of the Yomouri;
Thither we rode, and waited
Till the sun, like an Angel of Light,
Touched with transfguring glory
The vaporous ghost of night.
While over the sea behind us
The clouds yet darkly lie,
They are silvery on the hill-sides,
They are crimsoned up in the sky;
And with noiseless smoke surf drifting
And breaking on palmy knolls,
With its great drop-curtain lifting,
The tropical scene outrolls!
In the lap of the verdant mountains,
In many mural chain,
Here ripens the golden orange,
Here sweetens the sugar-cane;
Not fairer the Happy Valley
Of the Abyssinian tale;
And the giant Pan of Matanzas
Is monarch Of the vale.
With glistening eyes, as of childhood,
Der the summer hills | glance,
With eyes that the unfamiliar
Enchants with the hues of romance.
Oh, l stood there, as Youth stands ever,
With the morning light on the earth,
Yet near the veiled ocean, shadowing
The mystery of Birth.

An Autumn Eve.

Prom the Boston Transcript.
The autumn night is cold and drear,
The whirling leaves are blown and scar,
The winds that whirl them to and fro,
With sad forebodings of the snow,
Rattle the easements, shake the door.
And rouad the house, with lusty roar,
Sway, the bare trees, and then away
Dart madly in their noisy play.
Within, the fire burns warm and bright
The dog lies basking in the light,
The boys about their fathers knee
List to some tale of land or sea,
While grandpa in the ruddy glow
Sees scenes forgotten long ago,
And mother sews with loving eyes,
As fast the happy evening flies.
