A Truthful Man.

three men in the same car were

once or twice to draw out the quiet

BUILDING ON THE SAND.

IT'S weli to WOO; tits ws1I to wed,
For 20 the world hath done;
Once myrtlss grew and roses blew,
And morning brought tfs sun;
But have care, 70 young and fair,
Be sure you pledge in truth
Be certain that your lore will wear
Bayond the days Of youth
For II ye give no: heart for heart,
As we'll a. hand for hand,
Youm find you've played the unwise part
And built upon the sand'"
'Tis well to save, lis well to have
A goodly store of gold,
And hold enough Of shining stuff,
For charity IL cold.
But place not all your hopes and trust
In what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust
Unmixed with purer things.
And he who piles up wealth alone

Beside.the Golfer chest and own
He "built upon the sand."
tits good to speak in friendly guise,
And sooths where'er you can
Fair speech should bind the human mind
Ana love link man to man.
Bat stop not at the gentle words,
Let deeds with language dwell:
The one who pities starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as we'll.
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend q helping hand:
For those that talk, yet fail to do,
But "build upon the sand"

MADELINE.

| All the girls who were leaving
school carried with them anticipa
tions Of a gay winter, round .
parties, balls and operas. Not SC
with Madeline Delaney. The dy-
ing will Of her father made her
aunt's house her home for years be.
tween 1S and 81, and if Madeline
had been unwilling to comply she
would still have gone, so great was
her respect for her fathers mem
ory.
Mrs. Chatard was an invalid, and
her family consisted only Of her
soma man of thirty and said to
be eccentric-andt the old family
servants. Decidedly not a very
brilliant prospect for Ma define.
1t was sullen autumn dav
when Madeline rode for the first
time, up the avenue leading
to her aunt's house. She
saw gray sky, flying clouds and
white beach, on which the sea
beat heavily in, and standing in
the midst Of cluster Of pines was
a low, massive building, that
might have been a prison, and
possibly was a house. Ne one
came to the door to welcome her.
Mrs. Chathard was in the library,
and begged that Madeline would
come to her there. She found her
lying on the sofa, busy with some
sort of knitling-a salIow, delicate,
fretful woman.
NO. she said, shrinking back as
Madeline showed a disposition to
kiss her; mo one but Frederic has

With that Madeline was waved
of to her room, where indignation
supplanted a strong desire to cry
and curiosity gradually got th'
better of both. it was really, sh.
decided, on looking about her,

tains and furniture and dee
