Forget not there the matchless glories Of our

And turn not from the land whose praise

In dripping cadence from O. well of gold
But think OF "Shenan's" swiftly flowing wa

And castle sleeps" and "dizzy cliffs" and

And then, Oh tuneful bard, come back to our

And meet the welcome that true merit brings,
Hear fame's proud trump just bio W itself

And high Olympus quake with jealous fears
While envy, malace and the worlds detraction
Shall pale before the mist of woman's tears.

PARADOXES OF CHRISTIAN LIFE
The law of the Christian life is par
adox. It is made of seeming contradic-
tions. All its teachinga are contrary to
the common opinions of man. Accord
ing to this law, giving is getting; scat
tering is gaining; holding is losing ;
having nothing is possessing all things /;
dying is living. 1t is he who is weak
who lis strong, it is he who defies
danger who avoids it; it is he who
loses his life who finds 1t. Self interest
is promoted by unselfishness the pleas.
ures Of earth are surest to him who dis
regards them; happiness is found only
when it is no longer sought; the clear :
est light is of the invisible; things
which are not. bring to naught things
which are. Yet nsrAdoxicaf as is the
Gospel rHle af living, and hostile as are
its tsachlngs TO mans ordinary opin-
ions, the propriety of its requirements
and the absolute truth of its declarations
are made plain to all who fairly test
them in their personal experience.
A man acquires physical strength by
putting forth his strength. The arm
that would shrivel if unused grows mus.
cular and stalwart With much exercise.
Money is made by its risking, not by
its boarding. Grain lives by dying,
1t springs up by being buried. The
mind gains most by giving out, not by
taking in. Telling a thing to another
fixes it the firmer in ones own mind,
Teaching is the chiefast help to learn
ing. Struggling against danger is
safer than shrinking from danger. A
man overtaken on plain by q binding
snow storm would peril his life by
crouching down In the hope Of evading
the pitiless blast, when he might save
his life by rising up to trample under
foot the snow as it falls. So in the
higher sphere of moral action, it il BY
enceuntering evil, not by stunning it,
that the Christian keeps himself pure
and makes highest attainment in divine
life: 1t is by seeking the welfare OF
others that he best promotes his own
life dear, that his life becomes precious,
1t is by spirit of absolute dependence
tnat he rises to supremest Independence.

APPLE BLOSSOMS.

APPLE BLOSSOMS.
The orchard grass is sunshine barred,
And starry white upon the sward
The pretty daisies lie;
rest beneath a messy tree,
And through its waving branches see
The sapphire of the sky.
I feel the balmy breeze of May
Soft blowing down the grassy way,
And in the boughs above
The little birds break into song,
And praise in thrilling strains and strong.
Springs halycon days of love.
The apple blossoms fall around,
And ieck the daisy-checkered ground
AS breezes softly blow;
stretch lazy hand aloft,
And grasp cluster silken soft.
Like rosy tin ed snow.
look at every tender leaf
And marvel why life SO brief
TO such sweet things is given;
Why not for them a longer space
To blossom gayly in their place,
Beneath the summer heaven.
Why not for them longer time
To feel the sun at morning prime,
To see the moon at night?
To quiver by soft breezes stirred;
To listen when Gods morning bird
Sings heavenward his delight.
All me, my heart! it must be so,
The blossom drops that fruit may grow,
The sweetest of the flower
Dies early on the vernal breeze,
That autumn time may bless the trees
With gold and crimson dover.
All me, my heart SO must thou see
The f1owery hopes that gladen thee
In this, thy morning prime,
Fade in the fair place where they grow,
Drop round thee swiftly like the snow
Of apple-blossom time.
But If they leave thee good and true,
And pure as when they blossomed new,
Then gladly let them go;
Where now these fairy blossoms be-
In Gods good time thine eyes shall see
Thy life's fairest harvest glow!
-Authe Year Round.
THE GIRL FOR ME.
Just fair enough to be pretty,
Just gentle enough to be sweet,
just saucy enough to be witty,
Just dainty enough to be neat.
Just tall enough to be graceful,
Just slight enough for fay,
Just dressy enough to be tasteful,
just merry enough to be gay.
Just tears enough to be tender,
Just signs enough to be sad,
Just soft enough to remember,
Your heart through the cadence made glad.
Just meek enough to be submissive,
Just bold enough to be brave,
Just pride enough for ambition,
Just thoughtful enough to be grave.
A tongue that can talk without harming,
Just mischief enough to tease.
Manners pleasant enough to be charming.
That put you at once at your ease.
Generous enough and kind hearted,
Pure as the angels above;
Oh, from her may never be parted,
For such is the maiden love,

On A CRYING RARY.-Shliek away

Break your mothers heart with tender

bachelor who may be in the house from
his dreams, and disturb everybody to
your SOULS content! Have your day
while you can the time will come when,
suffer as you may, you will not dare to
weep. All your misery, all your woe, all
your passion, you must hide within your
bosom. If tears fall they must do it si-
lently. Often and often you will feel
that you would like to 60 upon noun

ance, though there be a power of misery
within yeu strong enough to work the
mills Of Fate.
Go on, baby !; shrek, kick, sob away
into silence only to begin on a higher
key; lose your breath, catch it, and go
on again. Cry for all of us-yeu seem
perfectly capable of it. Oh, what lux
ury it must be to yell SO! If we babies
of a larger growth could do it, there
would be fewer suicides.
