places of reform where, upon complaint
of proper persons. tie inebriate cOuld
be sent and put under proper discipline
and at some industry, and kept until
such time as the authorities judged
that he might be let out on probation,
with the moral suasiop of a return
hanging over him in case of relapse.
This is the true moral suasiOn-a moral
penalty. Would not this be a moral in
iuence to brace him up to resist tempta-
tion? And if he lapsed, would it not be
way to save him?
This would be refOrmatOry provls-
ion for rich and poor; for the man who
has property to squander, and the work
man whose family needs his earnings,
and the vagabond who earns nothing.
The requirements OF health and of moral
influence alike make necessary that all
should be put at industry, and no dis
tinctions should be made save by con-
duct. And a regular stipend should be
paid from the work in the refOrmatory
to the families of the inmates. With
such asylums for moral invalids, the
imbecile sots of all classes who say they
cannot resist the temptation of liquor,
would disap ear from society.-IS. r. R.,

NOBILITY.

True worth is in being, not seeming;
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good thing-not in dreaming
OF great things to do by and by.
For whatever men say in their blindness,
And spirit of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing so kingly as kindness,
Ard nothing so royal as truth.
We get back our mete as we measure
We cannot do wrong and feel right,
Nor can we give pain and feel pleasure,
For justice avengeS each slight.
The air for the wing of the sparrow,
The bush for the robin or wren,
But always the path that is narrow
And straight for the children of men.
lis not in the pages of story
The heart of its ills beguile,
Though he who makes courtShip to glory
Gives all that he hath for smile.
For when from his heights he has won her,
Alas! it is only to prove
That nOthing's so royal as honor,
And nothing so loyal as1ove!
We cannot make bargains for blisses
Nor catch them like fishes in nets;
And sometimes the thing our life misses,
Helps more than the thing which gets;
For good lieth not in pursuing,
Nor gaining of great or of small,
But Just in the doing, and doing
As we would be done by, is all.
Alice Cary.

WHO WOULD STAY?

If we could go some day
Before Age claims US for his prey,
Drop out of all this strife
That we-call life,
And without coward fears,
Or fainting flesh, or wasting tears,
Find suddenly the land
OF all or dreams, and stand
There, face to face with treasure lost,
The friends whose dread departure cost
Our sonls such sore distress,
Such agonies of wretchedness-
If we could go like this,
With consciousness of bliss
Set full before us, who would stay
To linger on the way
Through weary year by year
Till Time was ripe and sere,
With length of days and loss?
But set upon the cross
Ofmystery and pain
We wait and wait again,
Perhaps through threescore years
OF doubling hopes and fears,
And at the end we say:
'Ah, what little day
Of joy is life, and long, oh long,
The day of pain" Then from the throng
We drop away, while others sigh,
Bending above our clay and cry
As we have cried: "Why should we wait
like this
In darkness and doubt; why miss
So much of life in wasting pain?"
-Norah Perry, in The Manhattan.
