POETRY.
AThOugft.
BY FATHER RYAN.

There mover was valley without faded flower,
There never WAS heaven without some little
cloud,
The face Of day may flash with ligh. in any morning
hour.
But evening soon shall come with her shadow wo-
ven shrOud.
There never was river without its mist of gray,
There never forest without its fallen leaf;
And JOY may walk beside down the wirdngs Of
our way,
When 10! there sounds afoststep, and we meet the
face of Grief.
There never shore without its drifting
wreck,
There never was. an ocean wthou. its moaning
wave,
And the golden beams of glory the Summer sky that
feck,
Shine where dead stars are sleeping in their azure
mantle grave.
| There never was streamet however crystal -cear
Without shadow resting in the ripples of its tide
Hopes brightest robes broidered with the sable
fringe of fear
And she lures--but abysses girt her path on either
side.
The shadow of the mountain falls athwart the lowy

And the shadow of the cloudlet hangs above the
mountains head ..".
And the highest hearts and lowest wear the shadow
| of some pain,
And the smile is scarcely fitted ere the anguished
tear is shed.
Fer no eyes have there been ever without weary
tear,
And those lips cannot be human which never hcav d
sigh
For without the dreary Winter there has never beer

And the tempest hide their terrors in the calmes

MISCELLANY.

Yes, will y said Amy Jennings,
"This time will. My brothers wife
has called me "a lit vixen long enough.
Now I'll be little vixen. I'm tired
of this persecution--Im m tired of it"
Amy spoke angrily; her eyes were blaz
ing /; her cheeks were flushed. But at
the last sentence she faltered repeating
if, she fell upon her knees beside her bed
and buried her face in the pillow, "1'm
tired of it," she cried with passionate
sobs.
A rap at the door aroused her. She
arose, wiping her eyes ruefully, and
asked, in a voice Of forced calm, who's

"Me," answered rough but frindly
voice "Jack.
Have YOU brought me the Times ?"
Yes"
well, then, you can't see me just
now. dear Jack. Put the paper through

crevice, received the newspaper which a
clumsy brown hand thrust in and then,
with quick Thank you, dear
thanks, my dear good jack" reclosed
the door, and turned the key in the
lock.
The boyish footsteps bounded down
the stairs, and Amy, once more. in soli-
tude, flew to the window, flung herself
into the arm chair that filled its en-
brasure, and openining the newspaper,
spread it upon her writing-table, and
began eagerly to search the Wants" "

This advertisement, so peremptory in
regard to time, struck the fancy of Amy
Jennings. 1t was urgent and impetuous,
and she was in accord with impetuosities
and urgencies.
"This is just the thing for me-" she
thought. "a girl2 like girls: boys

She bathed her eyelids, so red with
weeping, and prepared herself for walk i;
left the house without a word to any one,
aud went directly to the place. described
in the advertisement.
The location was remote from the
brilliant avenueiwhere Amy lived in her
brothers house; it had a strange, un
familiar, and rather ding5 air, The
house stood opposite a small. park, not
frequented throngingly or girt with
steams of travel like the larger squares,
