THE CHILDREN.

When the lessons and tasks are all ended
And the school for the day is dismissed,
And the little ones gather around me,
To bid me good night and be kissed
Oh, the little white arms that encircle
Ny neck IN g tender embrace!
Oh, the smiles that are halos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine of love on my face!
And when they are gone sit dreaming
OF my childhood too lonely to last;
OF love that my heart viii remember
When it wakes TO the pulse of the past
Ere the world and its wickedDess made me
partner of sorrow and sin;
When the glory Of God was about me,
And the glory of gladness within.
oh, my heart grows weak as a woman's
And the fountains of feeling will flow.
When / think of the paths steep and stony
Where the feet of the dear ones must go;
OF the mountains of sin hanging Ger them,
OF the tempest of Fate blowing wild;
All, there is nothing on earth hail as hely
As the innocent heart OF child
They are idols Of hearts and of households;
They are angels of God in disguise;
His sunlight sleeps in their tresses,
His glory still CLEANS in the eyes.
oh, those truants from home and from heaven!
They have made me more manly AMI mild;
And know how Jesus could liken
The kingdom 81 Godto child.
ask lot life for the dear ones,
All radiant as others have done.
But that life may have just enough shadow
To temper the glare Of the sun.
would pray God TO guard them from evil,
But nv PRAYER would bound back to myself;
Ali q seraph may pray for sinner,
But sinner must pray for himself.
The twig is so easily Blended,
have banished the rule and the rod,
| have taught them the goodness o! knowledge
They have taught me the goodness OF ~ cd.
Ny heart is a dungeon OF darkness,
Where | shut them for breaking rale;
Ny frown is sufficient correction;
My law is the law OF the school.
/ shall leave the old home in the Autumn,
To traverse the threshold no more,
All how shall sigh for the dear ones,
They meet me each morn at the door
shall miss the good night and the kisses,
And the gush of their innocent glee,
The group on the green, and the flowers,
That are brought every morning to me.
! shall miss them at morn and AZ even,
Their song in the school and the street;
| shall miss the low hum OF their voices,
And the tramp Of their delicate feet.
When the lessons and tasks are all ended
And Death says "The school is dismissei!'
May the little Onea gather around rue,
To bid me good night and be kissed.

Happy American Women.

Miss Emily Faithful, who has Just re-
turned from her third occurring tour in
the United States, brings back n great
store of information concerning the po-
sition and prospects of women who
work across the Atlantic. The fold for
female labor of all kinds is much wider
there than it is in the Old World. Preju.
dices against the employment of wo-
men, which are rampant here, are there
non-existent or so attenuated as to be
inn0cuous. Women occupy almost
every profession, and the Americans
have realized much more than the Old
World nations the ideal Of la carriere
auverte aux talents so far as the sexes
are concerned. In the States there
are female barristers, pastors, doctors
and in short, members OF almost every
profession except tho army and navy,
the nearest approach to naval officer
being Mrs. Captain Mary Miller, who
recently succeeded to the command of
q Mississippi River steamboat on the
death Of her husband. There is not
hardly a newspaper in the country of
standing and influence which has not
at least two or three women as regular
members of its staff. One of the lead
ing newspapers in New York has q lady
as its second best writer, and one OF
the best newspaper properties in the
foreign press OF America is edited by q
German lady, who took over the bust
ness on the death Of her husband
Women act as regular reporters, and
one has achieved considerable noto-
riety as q critic of cattle shows. As in
reviewers women are very successful,
aud the specially of the female journalist
in America is n certain indetinable
iightness of touch, combined with a
grace and brightness of expression,
which her confrere emulates in vain.
Onepoint which impressed Miss Faith
full much in her American journeyings
is the fact that women in America are
much less ashamed of earning a living
than in this country. In England it is
regarded as natural and right for man
to work for his daily bread, but for d
lady to earn salary Is too often re-
garded as discreditable. Nine women
out of ten who are earning their own
living will preface tho statement of that
fact by more or less elaborate apology
for having to work for their living. In
other words work is not regarded as
the normal state of woman, and this
shows itself in many ways. English
ladies applying for situation will
give false names, and in one case,
which recently came under Miss Faith
full's notice, lady threw up proiita-
BILE situation rather than allow her name
to be known to her fellow-workers. In
America it is otherwise. Fine-ladyism is
creeping in, no doubt, but it has not yet
attained that universally which it
enjoysin England. America, however,
Is unauestionably the paradise for mar
