THE TWO LOVES.

The sweetest notes among the human heart-string
Are dull with rust;
The sweetest cords adjusted by the angels
Are ologged with dust;
We pipe and pipe again our dreamy music,
Upon the self-same strain,
While sounds of CRIME and fear and desolation
Come back in sad refrains.
On through the world we go, an army marching,
With listening ears,
Each longing, signing for the heavenly music
He never hearsl
Each longing, signing for a word of comfort
A word of tender praise
A word of love to cheer the endless journey
OF earth's hard busy days
They love us, and we know it; this suffices
For reason Is share;
Why should they pause TO give that love expression
With gentle care?
why should they pause7 But still our hearts are
With the growing pain
OF hungry love, that longs 10 hear the music,
And longs, and longs in vain.
We love them, and they know 1t, If we falter,
With fingers numb,
Amid the unused strings of loves expression,
The notes are dumb,
We shrink within ourselves in svoiceless sorrow
Leaving the words unsaid
And side by side with those we love the dearest,
In silence, on we tread.
Thus on we tread, and thus each heart in silence
Its fate fulills-
Waiting and hoping for the heavenly music
Beyond the distant hills.
The only difference of the love in heaven
From love on earth below
Is, here we love and know not how to tell it,
And there we shall all know.

healthy smokers 10 abandon what they re-
gard one of the greatest Injuries of modern
times. 1t can hardly be pretended, however,
that boys are in the came position. No
sensible man, who remembers the impulses
of his own youth, will judge very severely
any boy whom he may detect induIging in
the stolen delights of pipe or a cigar. 1t
is the nature of boys, unconscious of
their own happiness, TO ape the ways
of manhood, and it ia still more
their nature to grasp at forbidden joys. At
the same time it is highly probable that to-
bacco has a bad effect on the immature
physical system. This is admitted even by
those investigators who think that men may
smoke with impunity almost as much as
they please; and, indeed, it il obvious to
every observer, whether or not he Knows any
Thing of physiology and organic chemistry.
In Germ any there are strict police regula-
tions against juvenile smoking, but probably
it would be unwise TO appeal to the police in
this country. What is really needed is the
cooperation OF parents and schoolmasters
and this mpy be most effectually obtained
by the publication o: facts as to the preva.
lence OF the habit and its inevitable conse.
quences.

The rest day again comes to us this morn

minds from the Vanishing but worrying care
of trade and struggle and the jar and con-
test of this brief but busy life. We can
turn to-day from the appliances and themes
of business to sweeter and holier contempla-
tions. We can gaze upon the blue sky and
the foWer-besprinkled turf, the waving
foliage and the flowing stream, and let the
spirit drink in their purifying influences,
while the soul scars toward the skies and
reaches out to the beyond, till it finds its goal
In the All-Father, and itH rest in His love for
the children of whose existence He is the
author. Happy is the thought that He is
not sovereign alone, dread dispenser of
penalties and pains; but that while He will
do justice He delights in kindness and is
pleased that His creatures should be Joyous
and well satisfied with the gifts of his boun-
ty. 1t is a great privilege that man can
look TO his Maker as his Father, and feel him
self an object of care to Him who tenanted
space with its worlds, who guides the light

The King of Ireland.


An illustrious parsonage, of whose exist.

of ten on the 21st of May, 1s47, by his faith
er, on the hallowed coronation stone of Kill
dare.n He adds that he was there and then
"hailed king OF Irelsnd," though by whom
he omits to state. There is no contemporary
record, SO far as we are aware, OF the august
ceremony with which he seeks to overpower

attention may be invited to an omission
which for the sake of historical fullness

no practical importance. The father may
have since passed over to the msjority, and
in that case an informalily of the kind sug-
gested would, of course, in no way operate
as bar to the claim which the son now motif

informs Mr. Gladstone that he has "uusty
