There are many evils which are
more than half cured by hope. Hope
brings good things about us, not so
as to be handled, but so as to be
owned and rejoiced in. Hope pro-
phecies to us. Hope makes us free
of the universe. am q pilgrim, and
life is what I have to travel over ;
and oh! I have many dangers and
many wants but hope is my all in
all, nearly. Hope is light and courage
and a staff; and when I sit down, it
Is q friend to talk with and when l
suffer, it is an angel to stand by and
strengthen me; and when I have
wandered in sin, and repented and
returned to tho right path, then from
hope get my peace of mind again,
and newness of virtue. - Wiltia"'

s. Drive Slow"

The other day when q burly big
driver of q coal cart backed his We
hicle up to the alley gate of an old
house on Fort street east to dump
ont q half ton of coal, some child
rem came ont of the side door, and
the driver beckoned them near and
said:
ssLast time was here one o. the
wheels crushed q bit of a dog belong
ing to some of you. I heard q great
crying out, but can't be stopping to
look out for dogs on the street"
The children made no reply, but as
they watched him unload the coal
they wondered if he had little child
kindly to them. He may have felt
the burden of their thoughts, for
suddenly he looked up and said
"Weil, own Pm o bit sorry, and
being as knew L was coming. up l
brought along an orange to give to
the child who owned the dog.

"And will you take him this or
ange ?" ,. .;, ,oo. ,.,. a..o am,
they're coming to take him to the
graveyard pretty soon."
The driver looked up and down,
seemed to ponder the matter, and
then crossed to the other house. The
little coffin and its burden was in the
front room, and two or three old wo'
linen were wiping away their tears
land talking in low tones. The driver
put his hand on the closed coffin and
said:

ment, and the burly big man con
tinued:
eff he was alive I'd buy him any
thing he could ask. can do nothing
Inow but carry him softly out"
He gently took up the coffin in his
stout arms and carried it out, his
ewes moist and his lip quivering, and
when he had placed it in the vehicle
he looked up au the driver in a be-
seeching way and whispered
"Drive slow-drive slow He was
q poor little lame boy!'
The driver wondered, and he
moved away slowly, and the Goa
cartman stood in the center of th'
lstreet and anxiously watched till III
was off the cobblestones. Then, a.
he turned to his own vehicle, he said

MONROE, La. JANUARY 3. 1879.


ZEN years ago, whom she was ten,
used to tease and scold her;
led her, and she loved me then,
!, boy some five years older.
liked her, she would fetch my book,
Bring lunch to stream or tn hcket;
Would oil my gun, or bait my hook,
And field for hours at cricket.
she'd mend my cap. or find my whip,
All but boys hearts are stony!
liked her rather less than "Gyp,"
And far less than my pony.
She loved me then, though heaven knows
why,
Small wonder had she hated,
For scores of dolls she's had to cry,
Whom decapitated.
tore her froclks, pulled her hair,
Called " red " the sheen upon it;
Out fishing would even dare
Catch tadpoles in her bonnet.
Well, now expiate my crime,
Tho Nemesis Of fables
Came after years. To-day old Time
On me has turned the tables.
TIM twenty-five, she's twenty now;
Dark-eyed, pink checked, and bonny,
The curls are golden round her brow;
She smiles, and calls me "Johnny."
OF yore used her Christian name,
But now through fate or malice,
When she Is by my lips can't frame
Five letters to make " Alice"
who could joke with her and tease
Stand silent now before her;
Dumb, through the very wish to please,
A speechless. shy adorer.
Or, If she turns to nne to speak,
~,
Tho hot blood rushes to my check,
babble common-places.
She's kind and cool-ah! Heaven know
how
I wish she blushed and faltered
She likes me, and love her now;
Dear, dear how things have altered!

Beauties of Nature in Arizona.

notwithstanding the entire absence
Of timber or verdure of any kind,
upon the mountains of the Colorado
river, they are ever changing objects
of beauty and interest, and the longer
and more studiOusly you gaze upon
them, the moro completely are you
lost in admiration Of them. In the
evening, in the interval just before
and immediately after the decline of
the great orb of day, these earth
giants point up thcir ragged edges
and grotesque columns against a
canopy that is Il marvel of celestial
coloring. At this time of the year
no clouds sail majestically over the
mountains. From sunrise until with.
in an hour of sunset the imperial
dome seems like a great sapphire sus-
pended over tho world. Then the
eastern mountains and the horizon
above assume a most exquisite tint
of something between purple and
maroon, while the elevations on the
west and tho horizon above color up
in lilac and gold. A tew moments
after sunset the whole heavens and
mountains upon either side assume q
lavender hue. So perfect and so
delicate are the tracings of these
mountain outlines against the sky
at this period Of the evening, that
the entranced vision follows them as
readily as if they were just so many
artistic pencilings upon map or parch-
ment. Yet all this pales in compari-
son with the mirage on Il clear morn
ing, which cuts up these same
mountains into castles, cathedrals,
fortresses, esplanades, gardens, for
ests and every other imaginable
thing, or topples them over or sus-
can watch the beautiful effects of
mirage in this country with moro
delightful avidity than any other one
thing that can be presented.
