 Bill made the next fifty yards on his back, he still most unwillinely retaining his hold on the rope. Fortunately, the COW overlook Sam, and in return for his kindness in picking up the calf, she picked him up on her horns and threw him over into Mir. Carlyle's yard Bill, who was rather tired cf chasing the GOV, thought he would climb over and see what Sam was doing. She appeared to understand his wishes in that direction, so she started on run to help him out, or rather in. She was little late, but he went about ten feet further into the field than he would have done without her assistance. There was neither of them so badly hunt as they were when old Carlyle came and told them that the contract was that they should put the COW in the yard. Instead of that, the COW had put them in the yard, so the dollar belonged to himself as the owner of the COW.
 It is thought lawsuit will grow out of the matter.

The heart OF Mr.. Blair glowed and
stirred with new impulse - he looked

served the meal which she had prepared.
/ After supper, Rosa removed the tea

Rosa stood with her hand drawn with

and with face radiantly happy.
A shade crept over Mr.. Blair's counte-

told him so. But take back my words.
If such women as you were plentiful, we
could all marry and find our salaries am

you -
And the bachelor clerk, who could not
afford to marry on two thousand dollars
a year, went to his lonely home-lonely,
though peopled thickly-and sitting down
in his desolate chamber, dreamed over the
sweet picture of domestic felicity he had
seen, and sighed for like sweet hiding
place from the world and all false pro-
tessions and heartless show.

And With one parting glow of passion dies
In gold and red q woman's wistful eyes
Look out across the hills, band of light

And throws 81 glory DER her girlish dream;
The sheep slow nestle down beside the stream
And cattle wander with their tinkling bells.
The clouds, sun-nush'd. cling round the days de-

A Kind Voice.

There is no power of love so hard to
get and keep as kind voice. A kind
hand is deaf and dumb. 1t may be
rough in flesh and blood, Yet do the
work of soft heart and do it with 6
soft touch. But there is no one thing
that love SO much needs as sweet
voice to tell what it means and feels:
and it is hard to get and keep it in the
right tone. One must start in youth
and be on the watch night and day,
at work and play, to get and keep 4
voice that shall speak at all times
the thoughts of kind heart. But this
is the time when sharp voice is apt tc
be got You often hear boys and girls
say words at play with sharp, quick
tone, as if it were the snap of whip
When one of them gets vexed. you will
hear a voice that sounds as if it were
made up of 4 snarl, a whine and a bark.
1t is often in mirth that one gets e
voice or tone that is sharp, and stick:
to him through life, and stirs up ill-wir
and grief. and falls like drop of gal
on the sweet joys of home. Watch ii
day by day, as pearl of great price.
for it will be worth more to you in
days to come than the best pearl hid
in the sea. A kind voice is to the
heart what light is to the eye. 1t is q
light that sings as well as shines
Train it to sweet tones now, and it will
keep in tone through life.-Eiihu Bur
