THE LETTER FROM OYER THE
SEA.


Whether It be this gladstone day,
Whose perfect beauty lies
In golden sheen on the oceans breast
Meath the laughing summer skies,
Whose sunbeams glisten and CLEAN and glance
Mid the sleepy forest trees,
While the meadow grasses are hard at play
With the fragrant, frolicsome breeze;
Or whether 1t be the happy news
This day has givento me,
This treasure my hand and heart hold fast,
This letter from over the sea-
u, I've asked my heart q score of times
Why 1t has grown SO gay.
Whether because of our precious gift,
Or because of the gladstone day;
And my heart has questioned of me as well
Wherefore my lips should sing,
And why to my eyes persistently
The happy tears should cling;
And here by the easement as stand
In the breath OF the flowers fair,
And the subtle fragrance of clover bloom
Filling the summer air.
With the sunbeams kissing my brow and hair,
And turning to shining gold
The words which COME from over the sea,
The letter my hand doth hold.
We answer each other, my heart and L:
Though the day be fair and bright,
Yet neither to breeze, nor flower, nor sun,
Do we owe our sweet delight;
But only to this, the precious gift
Which claims both heart and hand,
And wooes as only love can WOO,
Love only understand. !"
And thus 1t is that the gladsome day,
With its joyous azure skies,
Its golden shadows, and merry breeze,
Seems perfect to my eyes.
We had not dreamed. my heart and 1,
That there could such gladness be
As has come to us on this summer day
In our letter from over the sea.
So shine, We sunbeams, glisten and CLEAN,
And turn my letter to gold;
For hiding safe in its own white folds
A dear old story is told.

An Arabian Story.

There is an old Arabian story, which
tells us of q. mountain on the summit of
which grew tree, whose leaves made
most delightful and enhancing music.
Under this tree was fountain of golden
water, which was always full but never
ran over; and In the branches of the tree
there was cage which contained talk
ing bird, with beautiful and brilliant
plumage. Thousands OF people attempt
ed to climb the tortuous, rugged, and
difficult path which led to the top of the
mountain, to obtain these treasures, and
failed for on all sides they were assailed
by voices in the air, that ridiculed, SLAM
dered, abused, and dissuaded them, and
in every way tried to prevent them from
reaching the mountain top. If any one
who attempted to climb the mountain,
replied to these voices, or turned back,
or aside from the path, he was immedi-
ately turned into stone. At last prince
came along, who, by stopping his ears
with cotton so that he could not hear
mountain and obtained the treasures
The bird proved to be fairy, who be-
came his wife, and brought him wealth
and happiness. A phial of the golden
water and branch of the singing tree
were transferred to his garden, where the
water expanded into beautiful fountain
and the branch of the tree grew to be
large wide-spreading tree, which afforded
constant shade and discoursed sweet
music. What pretty little allegory.
this is An old adage says that Speech
is silver, but silence is golden Both
the Egyptians and Romans worshipped
the god of silence The Egyptian god is
represented with his finger always on his
mouth, and the Roman God had his mouth
tied up and sealed, to indicate that those
who endured ridicule and SANDER in
silence and with patience, thus obtained
for themselves the greatest happiness.
Addison says that "silence is sometimes
more significant and sublime than the
most noble and expressive eloquence
But silence never, never shows itself to
so great an advantage, as when it is made
the reply to calumny and defamation, to
forbear replying to an unjust reproach,
and to overlook it with a generous, or If
possible entire neglect of it, is one of the
most heroic acts of a great mind. And
to forgive is Christ-hke; when he was
reviled he opened not his mouth, and
when crucifed he said OF his enemies,
" Father forgive them, they know not
what they do" He is indeed a prince
who can climb life's rugged mountain
path and stop his ears and not reply to
abuse, detraction, and ridicule, and who
cannot be turned aside from his upaOard
and onward course, and he will surely
obtain the priceless treasures which crown
the mountains brow, and make sweet
music evermore in the new garden Of
Paradise.

Is the love of an homes. man.
