BY FLORIAN.

I cannot, l will not. | dare not believe il,
Yet, there is the word, and itsmeaning l

Perhaps It's my dullness forbids me receive it,
Or vanity makes comprehension too slow.
Yet there, like a goblin to haunt me while
gazing,
To darken my dreams in the night while 1
sleep,
To crqmble the temple my hopes had been
raising,
And sink all those hopes in the fitbomless
deep.
While it glares there 1 muse, and yet it will
show not
A sign of re'enting nor he dmy despair;
| muse and | ponder for reason l know not,
And yet like a sharp burning scar it is there.
l look again closely. it is simply aversion, -
"Antipathy," hatred, " 'repugnance," il
means;
On hopes sweet domain it has made an incur
sion,
Beclouded its skies aud despair intervenes.
No, no, l will wait" for / cannot believe it,
Still lei me cling f,ndly and firmly to faith,
And let her write 'Death tiff must re-
ceive. it,
The finishing word of the chapter, IT'S

The Ambitious ClOck-A Fable.

A CoTTAGER had n clock which had
been owned by his father and grand
father before him, and for n hundred
years had ticked OFF the hours with ut
most precision.
Day and night, week in and week
out. the old clock kept ticking away,
and it was the wonder of the children
and the pride of the parents. Although
its labor was weariSome and mouoton-
Gus, the clock had never uttered one
word of complaint, and although its
face was cracked, its hands rusty and
its general appearance anything but
handsome. il had no longngs to be any
thing better than a clock and 10 serve
the family to the best of its ability.
One day traveller passed that way,
having II music-box under his arm, and
while he ate dinner his box played its
merry music. When he wentaway the
clock was jealous-minded and discour-
aged.
"Why couldn't have been music.

cause | have no music in me, and yet
am vain enough to think that l know
more OF music In one minute than any
dwarf of box does in all day. l am
tired Of being clock, and will now
delight the family with a tune"
Thereupon the clock began to strike
and buzz and hum, and the cottager
wife cried ont;
"Heayen save MS! but the old time
piece Is bewitched."
The clock tried ii again and again,
and when the cottagor was called in he
/ said;
"As clock. IL was faithful, valuable

another illustration OF the action OF the
Standing COMMITTEES was giy,a The
Library Committee had hecn recover
ing some OF their books, and had left
some OF these on a table in the gymna-
SUM or playroom, Some mischievous
boy had picked up the library stamp
and had stamped all over the nice new
paper cover uf one of these volumes.
When the one who did this WAS called
upon TO hold up his hand he did not do
so. When those who knew ANYTHING
about il were asked for. one small boy
held up his hand. The Committee were
requested TO confer with him at the
proper time They reported soon after
that the culprit was the Youngest boy

l agreed, and the affair was thus
settled.

thing forgotten in this case which is
usually attended 10, and that is to have
the damages properly assessed and paid

TO a small boy are sometimes an i'm
portant matter, involving, it may he,
an application to the paternal pocket,
which implies stating the cause Mt home,
with perhaps more or less disagreeable
consequences.
This last case occurred on Thurs
day. The next morning, at the weekly
report of character, our little friend WAS
so highly spoken of that ! asked him if,
in case did away with his days exclu-
sion, there was any danger of his re-
peating the oifcnse? He thought not.
His good, strong lungs were, therefore,
heard again at the usual time in the
playroom, and our patient was thus
cured without medicine. .- Cor. ~ y
