The truths culled from the lore of centuries,
Won would not need my word to tell you that
The maiden fair, with trusting heart and eyes

One snow-white blossom have I,-sad to say!
"Pale as a sea-beached shell, pa lovely one,

Not long she'll linger on the parent stem;
For soon his reaper will the Father send
And gather that sweet flower to bloom again
In fadeless beauty on the shining shore.
Iwillnot now put back the clustering leaves
And bring my modest violets forth to light,
For mine here bloom for me, as yours for

Hiding their beauty, not their fragrancy.

With sad smile. "This room tells but of

And do you wonder that I love my work,
And feel my heart grow tender meath the

Who long have toiled along lifes dusty path,
And borne the heat and burden of the day.
Oh! what a wealth of gladness, music, love,
Deep in tn untroubled hearts of children

Hath likened their young souls to golden
harps.
Dread privilege is mine to touch these chords
To play upon these strings whose slightest

FRAY now for me that my unskillful hands
May nevermake discord on these harps:

Notes which on high will float, to join the

day, but has worked at his trade all
the time, and we have nice home,
and mamma never cries now. Here
comes mamma she wants to speak
to you.p. ~ sA84AA ~
At this a happy looking woman
came hurrying up, and Selling Mr..
Stevens by the hand, broke into
ordinations in which joy at see
ing him and gratitude for past
kindness were mingled.
"And do come to our home and
see how happy you have made us
by saving my husband"
AS it was but a short distance.
MIR. Stevens consented to 90 home
with them. He found them pleas
antly situated ina bright, sunshiny
little tenement of three rooms.
Such neat little kitchen as they
led him into--the floor as white as
soap and sand could make it, with
one or two gay rugs laid down, the
stove nicely polished a few pictures
on the newly papered wall, the
open cupboard door revealing some
smooth white china and polished
tins. Mrs. Howard had just been
frying doughnuts, and the great
puffy brown things were piled up
in dish on the table. Mr., Stevens
declared that those doughnuts were
irresistible to hungry man like
himself, so he helped himself, and
as he ate he listened to a full ac-
count of his friends good fortune,
dating from the day of his call. At
the end of the hour he left them
after giving promise to dine with
them at no distant day.
A year has passed away since Mr..
Howard signed the pledge, and Mr..
and Mrs. Stevens are helping to eel
citrate the event by taking tea
with them.
Mrs, Stevens was a little high
toned, and thought she was making
a great sacrifice in accepting an in
vitation from family who because
they had been in the depths, must
be low and ill-bred. Imagine the
aristocratic little lady's surprise as
they stopped before pretty white
cottage in the suburbs of the city,
to be met at the door by sweet
faced, lady-like woman, in a neatly
fitting brown cashmere, set off by
snowy collars and cuffs, and dainty
muslin apron, to be shown into the
prettiest little parlor and introduce
ed to a gentlemanly looking fellow
and little golden-haired fairy in
blue whom they called Oracle.
Such happy family as the How
ards were in their new home, with
plenty of warm clothing and whole
some food, the head of the family
a temperance man in the conf
dence of his employers, his salary
for the coming year raised to twelve
hundred dollars. Such a contrast
to their circumstances one year
ago! And now let us leave them
around the we'll spread tea-table
with the query-Does it pay to do
temperance work p?

Refinement in the domestic circle
is often due to the elegance of home
adornment. The harmonious blend
ing of color and light in a room has
a powerful influence on the mind,
and the tea-table with its glittering
tacinates the eye and
imbues the mind with satisfaction
and comfort. Our stock of silver
and tableware surpasses all pre-
vious exhibits.
