The farmer likes field that is filled with
corn, not one that grows with resplendent
peoples; he likes grass that is pure grass,
tit for the service of the beast upon the
bills, not that which is mixed with butter
cups. SO when we go to the sanctuary it

beauty, but food to sustain our souls, and
strengthen us for the tolls and trials Of the
week. Cumming.
woman has no natural grace more be-
witching than sweet laugh. It leaps from
her heart in clear sparkling rill; and the
heart that bears it feels bathed in the ex-
hilarating spring. It turns the prose of
her life into poetry; it filings flowers of
sunshine over the darksome wood in which

LOVE FOR THE DEAD The love that

when the overwhelming burst Of grief is
Gained into the gentle tear Of recollection,
then the sudden anguish, convulsed agony,
over the present ruins of all that we most
loved, are softened away by pensive meli-

illness. Who would root such sorrow from
the heart, though it sometimes throws a
passing cloud over the hour of gaiety. or
spreads deeper sadness over the hour of
gloom yet who would exchange it even

To PROSPER IN BUSINESS. in the first

whatever you undertake.; decide L.,on
some particular employment, and persevere
in it. All difficulties are overcome by dill
gence and assiduity. Be not afraid to
work with your own hands, and that dill.
gently, too "A cat in gloves catches no
MICE" Attend to your own business. and
never trust it to another. "a pot that be-

beggars prove" Rise early. "The Sleep

Good manners insure success. Never an
