Helping; cheering tired mother,
Loving words to sister, brother;
Doing patiently thy duty
These attract far more than beauty.
Modest dress and gentle bearing,
Kindly actions never ~sparing;
Milking cloudy places sunny
1hese win true hearts mure than tloney.
Aiding those who are not cdftiely.
Frightening homes however homely;
Striving for a noble life
Crowned ut last-a happy Wife.
1.-THE maid whose manners ore retired,
Whom patience waits to be admired,
Though over looked perhaps awhile,
Her modest worth, her modest smile.
Oh! she will find, though soon or late;
A noble, fund, and faithful mate."

A SUMNER AFTERNOON.

The sunlight sleeping on the hills
In drowsy splendor dreams away
The long, slow hours, as II IL felt
The rapture of a perfect day.
The mountains stretch, broad, waving lines
OF purple light along the sky,
While at their feet, rich, shadow-veiled,
Serene and fair the meadows lie.
There comes to US the hum Of Bees
A bird fits by on startled wing,
And through dim arches in the woods
We hear the swaying breezes sing.
With rippling laugh and silvery sheen,
Through cool, green haunts of moss and
fern, b, f.f -ee
The brook betrays lis hiding. place,
And clearer grows on every turn.
The wild rose lifts its biushing face
Above the wayside grasses low,
While pale wood-lilies in the shade
Their snow-white bells swing to and fro.
o, golden summer afternoon,
We rest content; we ask no more,
Only to hear the wind repeat
The self-same story DER and DER;
Only to breathe the fragrant air,
To watch the lights and shadows play,
To quaff the nectar that the sun
In brimming beakers pours to-day.
II is enough to be--to feel
The tranquil mood of field and wood;
To know Gods blessing everywhere
Hath made SO much that's fair and good.

A Noble OnIsrins.

The superintendent Of one Of the
street-car railways leading out Of
New York into the country, told o
touching story TO a friend the other
day, which found Its way into o city
paper:
Sitting alone in his Office one day,
o strange gentleman entered, who
proved to be an officer in the army.
He carried a little box in his hand.
After some hesitation, he said. con-
quering great agitation.
II have favor to ask you. I had
q little boy, and I've lost him. When
he was alive, my wife used to search
my pockets every night, and whatever
loose change she found, she would
put away FOR the baby. Well, he's
gone. Here is the box. We talked
the matter over, and came TO the con-
clusion we could not do better than
to bring the money to you, to pay the
fares Of poor, sick children out Of
town during the summer. IT would
please him to know that he is helping
10 save the lives Of other poor chill
dren. As soon as the box Is empty,
we will gil il. While We live we will
keep up the bank"
The box has been twice emptied
and filed, and hundreds Of sick or
dying children have owed to this
dead baby their one breath Of fresh
air this summer.
