And myrtle, which hides the rude marks Of thu

Where lov'd ones are sleeping, will all havl
to yield e-
To Times busy cleaner. who gathers the leaves
And unopened buds in the forest and plain,
To carefully bind them in bundles and sheaves
And carry them of to return not again.
Everything beautiful. darling, must change;
The woodland the meadow. and course OF the
stream;
Those scenes now familiar. ere long will seem
strange,
And only be thought Of as seen in q dream,
Or pictures Of memory long hung away,
And faded by age, or the dust Of the past;
Each moment of pleasure refuses to stay,
The voice Of the zephyr is lost in the blast.
Everything beautiful. darling. must die,
And that which Increases will surely de-
crease; -'+i-~f
The sturdy old oak as a dust-heap will lie.
The song and the singer will both have to
cease; A"4!,s-'
Yet there is hope that each beautiful thing
Though not in this 11fe-will have being once

The heart. like the ivy. to loved ones will cling
When fallen. and creep to Eternity's shore.
Everything beautiful. darling, must fade,
Must change and must die, be 1t ever 10

And nothing endureth that ever was made,
For Time has the day in his own cunning

The spirit immortal he humbleth not,
He builds, though. and crunbles Its dwelling

The spirit will laugh at the thought of decay,

THE TWO ARTISTS.

THE TWO ARTISTS.
Edith is fair the painter said;
"Her cheek SO richly glows.
Ny palette ne'er could match the red
OF that pure damask rose.
"Perchance the eveng raindrops light,
Soft sprinkling from above,
Have caught the sunsets color bright,
And borne it to my love.
"In distant regions must seek
For tints before unknown,
Ere can paint the brilliant cheek
That blooms for me alone"
All this his little sister heard,
Who frolicked by his side;
To check such theories absurd
That gay young sprlte replied:
20. can tell you where to get
That pretty crimson bloom;
For well know where it is set
In Cousin Edith's room.
I'm sure that could find the place.
Ifyou want some to keep;
watched her put it on her face
She didn't see me peep.
$50 nicely she laid on the pink,
AS well as you could do;
And really almost think
She is an artist too"
The madden'd painter tore his hair,
Ard vow'd he ne'er would wed;
And never since to maiden fair,
A tender word has said.
Bright rosy cheeks and skin of pearl,
He knows q shower may spoil;
And when he wants a blooming girl
Paints one himself in oil.

The SANGUINE BRIDE.-A not unu-
sual kind of bride is that sanguine Great
ure who believes that life is now to be
all honey and butter, and that never a
cloud will cast its shadow over the sun
ny sky. All is so new-and it will new
er grow old! Holiday time has come
in perpetuity, and there are to be no
more painful lessons of duty to learn,
and no more (iisagreeable tasks of self
suppression to fulfill Tempers, disputes,
peevishness, anxieties, are buried be-
meath the sugar and the almond of the
wedding cake, and lie is to be fairy
tale, where ''they live happily for ever
after" finishes the picture. ALI the
buttons will keep sewed to the shirts,
and there never will be pair of socks
to darn. If children come they will be
born like so many doves, and give no
more trouble than covey of cherubs
fitting about the house. She looks for
ward to halcyon sea which not the
faintest ripple is to disturb, and in her
world blights and storms are to be un-
known. Her also we pity, poor, self.de
ceiving creature-taking life as she does
at such false angle, and looking at the
dust and ashes of inevitable decay or
sure disappointment through spectacles
of such deluding rose-colOr. She has
not the faintest idea that her husband
will ever cease to be her lover, and she
imagines that the poetic exaltations of
the courtship-the raptures of honey
mOon-are to continue far into old age.
OF the sense of reality she is absolutely
destitute; and her reasoning faculties
are lost for the time in the rainbow
lined cloud of hope and exultation.-
Perhaps her marriage has taken her
from an uncongenial home, and she is
elate and full of hope in consequence
She was in bondage to an unloved step
mother; she was governess working
hard for small pay and less considera-
ton; and the love of her husband, the
newness and independence and pleas
antness of her own home have over
powered her common sense-at least for
the time. Reality will waken her up
soon enough, poor soul! Meanwhile
we, who see the FOOLS paradise in which
she Is living, feel sorry for her, and anx-
ious to know how she will bear the
waking which has to come to her as to
others--ay as sure as death has to come
to us all.-LOndon Queen lsV % {

The ORIGIN OF DIPHTHERIA.-[By
DIR. E. r. Maxon. J. Diphtheria is be.
lieved to have originated in Egypt more
than 1900 years ago. 1t prevailed in
Egypt and Asia Minor, to which it ex
tended, during the first 500 years, and
hence was early called Egyptian o,
Syriac disease. Having invaded Eu
rope, the disease appeared in Rome, A.
D; 800; and being akin to the plague, ol
which 1t may be q remote modification
having had the same origin with some
similar characteristics, and being like Il
and malignant typhus highly conta-
gious, the disease, in its l,50O years
transit On the continent of Europe, af
soned towns, 1t had extended to Hol
land, in which it was epidemic, in 1887
to Paris in 1876, and appeared in 1771
having prevailed more extensively ir
France in 1918 and 1885 and in England
and the United States from 1855 to 1860

A Boy WHO KEPT HIS PROMISE
Thomas H. Benton, who was so long in
public life and consequently surrounded
by many temptations, in the following
tribute which he paid to his mother,
shows that he was boy who kept his
promise:-
My mother asked me never to use
any tobacco, aud I never touched it
from that time to the present day; she
asked me not to game, and I have not,
and cannot tell who is winning or
who is losing game, that can be play
ed. She admonished me, too, against
hard drinking, and whatever capacity
for endurance may attain in life, at
tribute it to having complied with her
pious and correct wishes. When 1 was
7 years of age she asked me not to drink
and then I made resolution of total
abstinence, at time when I was sole
constituent member of my own body,
and that have adhered to it through
all the time, owe to:my mother"
