A poor man sat In his little hut,
Watching his children play;
The good wife rocked her whlte.faced babe,

"If l strike they %starve," was all he said
Only a dollar q day.
The rich man lay on his lordly bed,
Pale as the crescent beams
OF the midnight moon-the watchdog howled
As a spectre crossed It's dreams;
The festive board In the banquet hall
Cleaned in the crescent ray
Where the phantom guests were revealing
A shadowy casket lay.
The poor mans hut was silent and dark,
And waiting coming light;
The good wife sat by her silent babe,
sobbing away the night,
Silent and cold, with never q cry
To answer Its mothers pain
An empty cradle and a sleeping babe,
Meier to be rocked again.
An angel stood by the gates Of pearl,
Watching the golden walls.

I have peeped into quiet "parlors," where the
carpet is clean and not old, and the furniture
polished and bright; into rooms where the
chairs are uncushioned and the floors are carpet
less; into kitchens where the family live, and
the meals are cooked and eaten, and the boys and
girls are as blithe as the sparrows in the thatCh

or miserable, that render homes happy or wretch

Last summer our dog Towser was a layiR' in

that he culdn't, cos he had to catch 'em, and
bime by a bee lit on his head, and was workin'
about like the dog was hisn. Towser he held his
head still, and when the bee was close to his nose
Towser winked at him like he sed you see what
this buffer is dom, he thinks I'm a lily'of-the.val'
ley which isn't opened yet, but you just wait till
1 blossom and you will see some fun, and sure
enuf Towser opened his mouth very slow so as
not to frighten the bee and the bee went into
Towers mouth. Then Towser he shut his eyes,
and his mouth too, and had begun to make a
peaceful smile when the bee stuns him, and you
never see q lily.of the valley act 80 in your life.

WIFE, CHILDREN AND FRIENDS.

WILLIAM ROBERT SPENCER,
When the black.lettered list to the gods was pre-,
sented
(The list of what fate for each mortal intends)
At the long string Of ills a kind goddess relented,
And slipped in three b~lessings-wlfe, children and
friends.
In vain surely Pluto maintained he was cheated,
For justice divine could not compass Its ends.
The scheme Of mans penanceh he swore was defeated,
For earth becomes heaven ,wlth-wlfe, children
and friends.
If the stock of our bliss Is In stranger hands vested,
The fund Ill secured, oft in bankruptcy ends;
But the heart Issues bills which are never protested
When drawn on the firm of-wlfe, children, and
friends.
The day-sprlng of youth still unclouded by sorrow,
Alone on Itself for enjoyment depends;
But drearl is the twilight Of age II 1t borrow
No warmth from the smile of-wlfe, children, and
friends.
