Anehu
IN A GARDEN.

BY @. H. STUART.
There's garden of my childhood that only
see in dreams,
Ever sunshine lies upon it, shadows only
passing fit;
Thro' the vista Of my memory very fair that
garden seems,
And 1 sometimes yearn with longing once
again to enter it'll
I can recall the lawns first moving, and the
rich earth freshly turned,
When the springs warm-6ngered touches
woke to life the garden beds.
Where the double row of crocus like golden
pathway burned.
And the tulips in the border waved their
stately crimson heads.
Where the south walls lured the swallows
wheeling up against the blue;
Summer beauty gained upon US ere we knew
the spring begun;
There the pale wisteria clusters tender arms oi
fragrance threw
Till the white magnolia lifted cups Of silver
to the sun.
Yesr by year the blooming orchard lay like
snow beneath the moon,
Year by year the chafanch rested where the
moss-grown boughs divide.
And her brood upon the branches twittered
through the dawns of June
Till the glowing apples Redeemed under Au-
gusts smile of pride.
Spring and ever-radisnt summer and full au.
, tumn hold it fast.
Ny enchanted garden whittier fancy leads
me back to-day,
Never winter falls upon it, for the picture Of
the past,
God be thanked, are happy pictures, and
their skies forever gay.
Only when across life's highway comes the
scent Of country brisr,
Or Of waited honeysuckle. westward borne,
and cold with dew;
Then the longing for my garden fills me with
such strong desire,
That my soul is faint within me for the sun.
shine that knew.

BoysBe Thoughtful.

Never start of on ! swsik Or journey
without telling some one Of the family
your purpose. Never be away from the
dinner or supper at home without giving
your intentions or liability. Above all
never be away at night time when some
one at home is sitting up or keeping
awake to let you in.
Do not presume that yonr parents are
strong enough to bear the anxiety your
absence occasions. It requires more
strength Of body, mind and soul than
most people possess to he calm and re
cpnciled under such q trial.
Dangers seen and unseen are about as
all the time, and your parents can not
help imagining all sorts Of evil happen
ings to you. Be thoughtful, therefore,
and prevent such trials which impairs
the health and shorteus the lives Of those
who love you most, and depends upon
more than all others.
