THE PRIDE OF A CHILD.

A st. Louis paper tells touching
story of school life. 1t illustrates
both the longing of children to ap-
pear as well as their echoolmates and
the mental suffering incident to pow
erty. In one Of the st. Louis public
schools many of the children who
came from distance were aocustom-
ed to bring a lunch, and thus save
long walk home for dinner. They
generally ate it together and had
merry time.
Among those who stopped one of
the teachers noticed little girl who
never brought any lunch, but who
looked wistfully at her playmates as
they were eating the noon meal. But
one day the girl brought her bundle
also, wrapped in paper. At noon she
did not go with the others, but re-
mained at her desk as if prefeiring
to eat alone.
The teacher, thinking her unsocial,
advised her to go to the lunch room
with her playmates, and walked to-
ward the desk to take her bundle.
But the little girl, bursting into sobs,
said
Don't touch it, teacher; and oh,
teacher. don't tell, please. It's only
blocks"
The poor girl had no dinner to
bring, but wished to keep up appear
ances, so as not to seem unlike her
schoolmates. And she was one Of the
best scholars in the school. She was
very dear to the teachers heart after
that incident.

WHAT WE LIVE FOR.

"What is life" some one asked
Montford. His answer is one Of the
most charming things ever written
"The present life is sleeping and
waking; it is good night on going to
bed and good morning on getting up;
it is TO wonder what the day will
bring forth; it is rain on the window
as one sits by the fire; it is to walk in
the garden and see the flowers and
hear the birds sing; it is to have news
from East, West, North and South; it
is to see pictures and hear music; it is
to have Sundays; it is to pray with a
family morning and evening; it is to
have breakfast, dinner and tea; it is
to belong to town and have neigh
bors; and to become one in circle of
acquaintance; and is to have friends
and love; it is TO have sight of dear
old faces; and with some loving lips
for fifty years, and it is to know them
selves thought of many times day,
in many places, by children and many
friends"

YOUNG man, never lose your pres

wander away ,ogether to commune

For the Journal.l

Fail and sweet and brightly glowing,
With the iris varied dyes,
Touched with all the rarcst tlnges,
In the dawn and sunset skies,
Are the flowers that Maytime bringeth
To make DER glade and green,
A perfumed path of beauty
For the radiant Summer Queen.
But of all the rich eXotics,
Into queenly chaplets wrought;
Of all the winsome blossoms,
That the Maytime ever brought,
She never dropped sweeter
Upon dewy lawn or loan,
Than this bright young bud of beauty
In the garden of our home.
Twice the golden bolts of morning,
Twice the curtains of the dawn,
BY the May Queens rose-tippcd fingers,
Had been silently Withdrawn,
When she came unto US gIaciously,
The soft light in her eyes,
And entrusted to our keeping
This fair flower of Paradise.
To fit him for the pathway
God ordained he should pursue,
Must now be lte's first duty;
Heaven grant that we may do
That labor we'll and truly,
So that in another sphere,
God again may make Us guardians
Of the trust assigned us here.
