A Sharp Voice.

There is no power of love so hard
to get and keep as a 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 a
soft touch. But there is no one thing
that love so much needs as a 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 voice
that shall speak at all times the thoughts
of kind heart. But this is the time
when a sharp voice is apt to 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
voice that sounds as if it were made
up of snarl, a whine and bark. 1t
is often in mirth that one gets voice
or tone that is sharp, and it sticks to
him through life, and stirs up ill-will
and grief, and falls like drop of gall
on the sweet joys of home. Watch
it 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 light that
sings as well as shines. Train it tC
sweet tones now, and it will keep in
tone through ife.-ERhu BurriH.

2---COnundrum Story.
CHAPTER I.


Mr.. English was an enthusiast on the
subject of botany, and as he was man
of means you will not be surprised to
learn that the extensive grounds sur
rounding his fine residence were de-
voted to the culture of rare, curious,
and beautiful plants. He had green
houses filled with tropical plants, and in
hooks well protected from the noon
day sun grew the plants of far cooler
climate than that in which he lived. A
miniature forest of one hundred trees
contained no two trees of the same
species. In one part of his grounds
were every variety of cactus known,
making by far the best collection of
this curious division of the vegetable
world in America. In their various
seasons, his grounds were gay with
tulips, hyacinths, lilies, asters, verbe-
mas, balsams, dahlias, geraniums, fuch-
sias, and hundreds of flowers of Which
1 do not even know the names. They
were so beautiful that people often
came many miles to see them in flower
But l have told you enough for the
present.
CHAPTER II.
Near the residence of Mr.. English
lived Mr.. French, man to whom the
study of zoology was as much as was
the study of botany to the former.
Quite a collection of animals he had,
too-that is of the smaller kinds, his
only large animals being pair of hand
some giraffes, for which he had re-
fused several liberal offers from manag-
ers of travelling menageries. AS in
Noah's ark, he had two of each kind
and his collection embraced kangaroos
opossums, various fur-bearing animals
several species of monkeys, sloths, por
cupines, lynxes, jackals, ant-eaters
etc. You will see that have jumblet
the different kinds together withou
any system, but Mr.. French had then
all classified, and could tell you al
about their habits.
CHAPTER III.
What two animals in Mr.. French
collection resemble one of the plant
grown by Mr., English?

No other complaints are SO insidious in their

well proven its efficacy in a forty years fight
