There's duty rests with you;
The Joy you make is the JOY that telisi
Ofhearts that are brave and and true'
The times are hard for simple folk,
THEY'RE oft in stormy weather;
But a man and wife must pull through lie
And breast the waves together.
One side Of life is dark as night,
The other is as clear as day;
I'm doing right you keep to the lght'
And the dark will pass away.
Though times be hard for simple ioih
And we mourn the Ills Of fate,
Tue rule for man is DO what he can,
He must learu TO work and wait
Behind the clouds silver light,
A iov Cor the faithful heart,
Then plight your troth by a solemn oath
To be tr0e til death do part.
LIS not i'm vain the wedding bells
Ring Joy on the wedding day;

Ring on, ring on. ye wedding bells!

Chirp and Hop.

Chirp and Hop lived IN the same
field. Chirp was a little cricket.
Hop was a big grasshopper. They
were cousins. Some people
thought they looked alike.
'You will never be as pretty as !
am said Chirp to Hop.
'Why not 2 asked Hop.
because you will never be as
black and shiny, said Chirp.
well, said Hop, 'yOu will never
be so lovely aud green as am
Then they shook feet to show
they were good friends. Crickets
and grasshoppers cannot shake
hands, for they have no hands.

'Iet us go on "a journey together

Chirp.

de-
'Very well, Hop. | hear she
has fine clover in her feld,' said
Chirp.
SO they started. In a minute
Chirp cried, oh, dear. How fast
you goP
Hop looked cross. He called
out well, can't you hurry upY
NO, no. said Chirp; my legs
are not SO long as yours. Please
go slow
Il will not said Hop. John
will soon come to let down the
bars and take Brindle home.
1T is very early, dear Hop said
poor little Chirp. John will not
come until night. Please wait
But Hop was almost out Of sigh t.
Chirp could hardly hear his cross
mo- Chirp jumped along as fast
as he could but he got to the field
long after Hop got there.
He looked through a bOle, but
he could not see his cousin.
In a minute, Brindle came to The
fence. She liked Chirp, because
he always sang such happy song
'Wbo. are you looking for, my
dearY said Brindle.
For my cousin Hop. Do you
know where he is, dear BrindleY
Yes, indeed said Brindle. She
shook her head sadly.
HE hoped over my fence just
as JockO the rooster came along
'Oh, my oh, my said Chirp.
He could not get out Of the roOs

come across the field so fast he was
