A Psalm Of the Rain.

Over the mountain walls the rain,
Means the rain, weeps the rain,
Psalms of anguish, prayer of pain,
Sighs the sorrowful rain.
Yet far below, the valleys are bright,
Rippling rivulets rush to the sea,
Sweet birds sing in the silver light,
Lilies bloom on the laughing lea.
Over my life sweeps the sorrowful rain
Solemn rain, sighing rain;
Prayer of anguish and plead of pain
moan with the moaning rain.
Yet still know heavens plains are fair
And the soft light falls on the sea of gold
And white wings wave in the amber air
And the Father smiles as He smiled Of
old

The Passing Hour.

What time is il?
Time to do well,
Time to live better;
Give up that grudge,
Answer that letter;
Speak that kind word to sweeten a sor-
row;
Do that good deed you would leave till
tomorrow.
Time to try hard
In that new situation;
Time to build up on
A solid foundation;
Giving upneedlsssly changing and drift
ing;
Leaving the quicksands that ever are
shifting.
What time is it?
Time to be earnest,
Laying up treasure;
Time to be tboughtfUl,
Choosing true pleasure;
Loving stern justiee-of truth being
fond;
Making your word as good as your bond
Time to be happy -
si Doing your best
Time to be truthful,
Leaving the rest;
Knowing in whatever country or cline
Ne'er can we call back one minute OF
time.

A Thrifty Man.

81 cannot give my consent to your
marriage with my daughter, said a
father to an ardent lover.
"On what grounds do you base your
objections
"On the grounds that you are poor
man, have no trade or profession, and
by no means capable of supporting 4
wife,
"Oh. that is it, Ell? Look hers," and
he took out several papers showing that
he owed four or five hundred dollars
Don't this prove that l am thrifty
man; what more can you ask?"
IL can ask for nothing more. You
have shown your ability. Take my
daughter"

money TO buy me suit Of clothes and

A DECIDED novelty in the line of
school exhibitions has been gotten up
in Paterson, N. ]. To raise money for
the school library the pupils of the high
school contributed articles of their own
manufacture in great variety and abund-
ance. There were miniature engines,
paintings, and an abundance Of pastry
and cOnfections. The boys contributed
largely to the pies and cakes, but the
fact that their cooking was considered
better than that of the girls looks sus-
picious. 1t is just possible that they
bought it or had it made. Such exhibit
tions of Industrial skill would be good
thing in any school. 1t directs the en-
ergies of boys and girls to most bene
fetal exercise.

the ceremony was less magnificent than
it would have beer save for the disas-
ters of the recent war.
For many years Peter and Csthatine
lived together happily, but in l724 there
was an unpleasantness which led TO
their separation, caused by certain ru
mors affecting her integrity. However,
when he died, January, %. TIPS, it was
| in her arms.
Immediately after Peters death, II Cath
arine was proclaimed Empress OF all
the Russias. The beginning Of her reign
was marked by numerous acts OF clem-
ency. She freed many prisoners, recall
ed some who bad been exiled, prevented
the execution of not few who had been
condemned to death. Nor were her
| friends of former days forgotten. She
pensionsd the widow of Gluek, who had
died prisoner at Moscow; made his
son a page, settled a large annuity upon
his two eldest daughters and advanced
the youngest to be one Of her maids Of
honor.
Her reign was of short duration. She
died May 27, l777, of a cancer aggrava-

there is no reason for believing such

some writers have claimed that de-
sire that one Of her own children should
succeed 10 the throne, influenced her to
embitter the Cars feelings against
Alexis, his son by wife whom he had
divorced; that his son was committed to
prison, where he died at her instigation.
She has also been charged with causing
her husbands death by poisoning him.
Both imputatisns are false.
Iti is not to be presumed that her
character was wholly free from defects.
But, all in all, she was one of the no.
blest, most extraordinary women that
ever lived. So uneducsted that she
could not write her own name, she pos

She is not fair to outward view,
As many maidens be;
Her loyliDess never knew
Until she smiled on me;
o, then l saw her eyes were bright,
A we'll of love, spring of light.
But now her looks are coy and cold,
To mine they Re'er reply;
And yet l cease not TO behold
The love-light in her eye;
Her very frowns are better far
Than smiles of other maidens are!

DRY PROSPECT.

The spring opened with much rain
and the grain that had been sown in tho
fall aud early winter will yield quite large
ly. But too few were able to get in their
seed last fall and the late rains of the
spring made the ground too wet to seed
till late and when it was sown, the rains
suddenly ceased and the c, nsequence is
that the spring sown grain Is dwarfed
and unless rain comes soon there will be
a very small crop. The farmers report
that the flax crop will be almost total
failure without immediate rains. In some
of the localities near the mountains show
ers have been experienced. On some
parts of Csmas Prairie the rains have
aided much. The heat of the sun and
the hot dry winds are causing vegetation
already to look much scared There
seems to be no grasshoppers yet to speak
of, although in some places the crickets
are becoming very Numerous. II the
farmers fail of good crops this year it will
be set back that will discourage many
