the education Of the children shall be chargeablo

the absolute exemptions aud other property to

to borrow money at exorbitant interest. J.......A

YOUNG FOLK g.
To our Baby.

April brought to us, dear.
April, with its sun and showers,
April, with It's dainty flowers.
April, with its strong young breeze,
Whispering through the leafiess trees:
Now the dreary Winters done,
Now comes spring with flowers and sun.
60 upon an April morn
Our dear baoy-girl was born.
Quickly flew the days away,
Came the ''merrie month OF May"
Cool for morning, sunny noon.
Welcomed in the month of June,
Soft we sang the lullaby
Through the long days OF July.
Flowers dropped and pinned away
In the heated August day.
Rsindrops falling low and clear,
Breathed aloud, "September's here"
Leaves grew purple, red and gold,
AS Octobe days were told.
And each day much shorter grew
AS November BY us flew.
Low and sweet the anthem rings =
To the day December brings.
White and cold the snowdrifts lay
January passed away.
Colder still the sharp winds blew
February days were few.
Birds again began to sing;
March had come and with il Spring,
Clouds are br light in April sky:
Summers coming by-and-by.
And there twelve months make the year
That we've loved you, baby dear.

uncomfortable.
He rose. and shut down the cover of the
trunk. and stood for long time With his
hands in his pocket. looking ont of the win
dow There was very pretty landscape OF
green pastures and woodlands outside, bat
Tom saw nothing of it. His eyes seemed to
be fixed on some far away place beyond the
horizon.
After a while he turned and began to pace
tie room. Then he paused oy his trunk, and
opened il again, and looked In. What pleas

The room was small and plain, and Tom
wss by no means a good-lookiag boy. But
such boys are sometimes the heroes, aud
such rooms the battle grounds OF contests
which make 10 noise in the world. and which
yet demand as much pluck and character In
the victor, as has many famous contest for
q kingdom and q crown.
Tom continued bis walking to and fro in
the little room, whistling now and then, aud
from time TO time throwing himself into g
chair restlessly.
The afternoon wore away. The sun
dropped till it seemed to rest an instant on
peak which Tom could see from his win
dow, and then the room suddenly grew
dark.
The change seemed to rouse Tom to de-
cision. He put on his hat. and moment
later was walking toward the center OF the
town.
The next morning, when breakfast was
ready, Tomwas not on hand. But Just as his
father and mother were beginning 90 wonder

Tom" said his father, as he came In,
''what does this mean?'
ut means you're gong to keep Topsy, sir, "
answered Tom, going up to his father, and
putting hand on each shoulder. Father,
I've thought il all over, and I've decided not
to go back to college this year, but to stay at
home anc work. That will be enough saving,
so that you can keep the horse and buggy,
and I'll lay up what earn, and pay my own
way when / go back to college next year.
Pm young enough TO wait. So you mustn't
say word. I'd rather do it, and it won't
hurt me Bit
And it didn't hurt Tom. When his sopho.
more year did begin, he was better able to
appreciate the worth Of the studies. He was
happy too, in knowing that his pleasure and
profit were gained without subtracting from
those of others.

Happiness.

There is one way of attaining what We
may term, if not utter, at least mortal hap
piness; ii is this: A sincere and unrelept-
ing activity for the happiness of others. In
that ore maxim is concentrated whatever is
noble in morality, sublime in religion, or
unswearable IN truth. In that pursuit we
have ell scope for whatever is excellent IN
our hsarts, and mons for the petty passions

Toms Sophomore Year.


Tom stood in the middle of the room with
his hands in his pockets, and, whistling
softly, looking about him.
1t was plain little room just under the
roof, but 1t had been Toms room ever since
he had had one OF his own, and he was at
tached to it.
But in q day or two, so he was saying to
himself, he was to leave it for nearly a year.
There, near the head of the bed, stood his
trunk-a funny old trunk that had belonged
to his grandfather, aud was covered with
hairy hide fastened with brass nails.
he had just been packing it, and glance
at its contents told where he was going to
spend the coming year.
For besides his clothing might be seen
uncovered Latin and Greek grsmmars,
leathern-bound lex CONS, an algebra, q geom-
etry, q copy of Livy, aud several other
books which tp Ike of college course.
For three days later, at his college in a
country town more than q hundred miles
away, Tom Sargent intended to make his
frat appearance as a learned Soph omore.

Topsy was Mr.. Sargent's little back horse

was getting old, and growing heavier and
more bulky as age crept on, he had done but
little walking in his business about town,
but made Topsy his invariable companion.
Where's Topsy, father?' asked Tom
again.
