Long, long ago in the olden day
On a slope Of the Tuscan hills thcro lay
a village with quarries al around
And blocks OF marble that piled the Eoundi
And scattered among them, everywhere,
With wedge and hummer, lulo aud square,
With the dust OF the marble powdered white
Sat masons who chiseled from morn till night
The earliest sound that the baby heard
Was neither the whistle nor song OF bird,
Nor bloatng OF lambs, nor rush OF breeze
Through the tops OF the tall old chestnut
trees,
Nor the laughing OF girls, nor the whoop and
shout
OF the school ut the convent just let ont,
Nor the tinkle Of water FLASHING sweet
From TIE dolphin's mouth in the village street.
But foremost and first, that sharp and clear
Arrested the littlo Michacls oar
When he walked from sleep, was the mal!ets
knock
On the chiso that Clipped the rough hewn
block;
From tho dawn OF the day till the twilight
came,
The click OF the tools was still the samei
And, constant us tell the fountains drip,
Was the tap, tap, tap and the chip, chip,
chip
Andwhen he could crawl beyond the door
OF tho cottage, in search Ola plaything more,
Or farther could venture, a prying lad,
What toys DO you think were the first he had
Why, splinters OF marble white aad puro,
And malet to break them with, be sure
And chisel to shape them, should he choose,
just such us he saw the lnNsons use.
So Michael, the baby, had his way,
And hammered and Clipped, and would not
play
With the simple and senseleas sort OF toys
That pleased the rest OF the village boys.
They laughed at the little churches no
Would daily build at his nurses Kncei
They secuted tho pictures that he drew
On the smooth, white slabs with coal or two;
They tainted and leased him when he tried
TO mold from the rubbish cast aside
Rude figures and screamed "scultori !" when
His bits OF marble he shaped like men.
But who OF them dreamed his naile.- sound
Would ever be heard the earth around
Or his mimic churches IN tino become
The mightest temple Oh ChristeEdom?

GENUINE NoBILITY.--Does she

less worthy of respect than she who

tokened narrow, ignoble mind, let

stones. 1t eviuced u false idea of the

the detestable spirit Of caste, Of rank
which a certain class are trying to
eatablish--a caste whose sole founda-

kind of rank known to civilization.
Mind, manners, morals, all that enters

gold, and each additional dollar is
another round in the ladder by which

TRUE CHARITY.

One Of the problems of to-day 10
how to meet the question OF poverty
and the demand for help which grow
stronger and more imperative every
day, as populations increase, and the
reckless and lazy learn the art Of de-
pending upon the sympathies Of man
kind, as upon an unfailing source of
supply.
That there are circumstances excep-
tionally hard, and which need help,
that there are misfortunes which defy
the most prudent foresight and calcu-
lation, no one will deny but the
victims to these are quite overshad-
owed by the clamorous crowd who
make a profession of beggary, and
whose fraudulent practices in time
become SO transparent as to disgust
and close up the very fountains of
sympathy and compassion in the
hearts of the most kindly disposed,
and induce them to believe that all
charity is thrown away, or worse,
encourages idleness, and begets pau
perism.
This is sad aspect of the case, for
he "poor" we are to have always
with us, according to the Bible, and
they will always present an unsolv-
able problem unless we can hit on
some methods of treatment different
from those which have yet been
reached.
Giving five dollars is worse than
useless as form Of charity, unless it
goes through the hands of some con-
scientious person, who can and will
do what you are not willing to do
yourself, give personal service, and
work in their houses, and among the
poor.
Not in tho way of dropping tract,
or interfering in their daily affairs,
but making ones self acquainted
gaining their confidence, helping with
sick child, starting little sewing
or cooking school in their midst, open
to children or adults, and lean office,
where small sums could be lent with
out interest, which would tide over a
hard time without the loss of self-re-
spect, and leave them qualified to be
benefciaries second time upon Its
repayment.
These loan societies are becoming q
feature of all organizations which
have for their object the ard and com
fort.of the poor, upon basis which
permits them to maintain their indie
pendent manhood and womanhood
Charity doles are pauperizing anc
degrading, and they are not always
true charity even on the part of thu
givers. There are plenty of so-callec
benevolent people who will give ,
small sum to excuse themselves t.
their coasciences for not paying {
larger one where it is rightfully due
Half-paid clergyyoen and their fami'
lies throughout the country district
know what it is to receive cake ant
maple sugar, which make them sick
instead of remuneration, which
would enable them to buy proper foo(
and clothing.
Let us learn to be just before W.
make a parade of being generous
and when we exercise charity, do i
in such way as not to destroy wha
is best and most essential to charactel
in any human soul.
