When Spring Began.

While roaming in the woods one day,
L asked the question, half in play,
"N no can tell when spring began"
Straightway the answer came, "I canw
And Robin Redbreast cooked his head.
"All right Then pray proceed" I said.
"I must" said he, "express surprise
That any one with two good eyes,
Or even one should fail to see
Springs coming must depend on me.
When l come, then will come the Spring,
And that's the gist of the whole thing"
"Ho, no He, he! Well, declare ''
Squirrel chuckled, high in air.
"That is too droll-that you should bring
Instead of being brought by Spring.
L hadn't meant to boast, but now
The cause of truth will not allow
My silence; so I'll merely state
That Spring for me must always wait;
The thing admits not of doubt;
Spring can't begin till I come out"
"Well, bless my stars For pure conceit,"
Began the Brook, "you two do beat
All have heard. AS if 'twere true
Spring never came at all till you
Were born, and can't come when you're dead
r.m sorry, sir, you've been misled,
Rut can set you right. know
Spring comes when I begin to flow
When my ice melts, and not till then,
Spring dares to venture forth again."
"Whew !" sneered the Breeze, in high disdain,
"You're wrong as they are, it is plain.
When I first came, not long ago,
found you naught but ice and snow.
Twas my warm breath, you thankless thing
That broke you bands and brought the Spring
The Robins and the Squirrels all
Come only when they hear me call,
In fact, 1 may assert with truth
am the Spring itself, in sooth.
Springs here because I'm here, and when
leave, you'll have no Spring again"

ly of face, although they catch but
glimpse of the figure from behind, and
they will be right nine times out of ten.
Such are guided not by the eye alone,
but by symmetry of shape and grace of
movement. Ugly women sometimes
have these qualifications, though as a
rule it would be found that their ugli-
ness belongs to that class which logicians
call "accidental." Wilkie Collins tells
how one of his heroes conceived the
most glowing fancy of some young girls
face upon observation of her back; she
turned, and proved to be mulatto.
This is what we should call an 'accl-
dent" The beauty that nature designed
was marred by the luckless chance that
her skin and features appealed only to
negro taste. So it is with women under
a variety of circumstances, infinite as
the risks and combinations of human
life. The experienced person is not
deceived by inconsistencies of this kind.
He brings knowledge OF the Worlu anu
of mankind to bear.
A woman who is beautiful cannot be
ignorant of the fact-unless she is stu
bid we read of such things with pleas
ure, as we read of other agreeable pro-
digies in romance. But when a girl
child perceives that she is welcome
everywhere, that old people smile at her
approach, and young men pay her more
attention than her comrades get, she
must be duller than are the majority of
her sex if the suspicion that she is good
looking does not strike her. In few
months suspicion becomes delicious GER
tainty. Whispers are overheard, glances
caught, the mirror anxiously consulted
gives pleasing assurance. Even if there
be no servant, nor complacent mother,
nor good -natured friend of the family
to set her doubts at rest, the warmth
and the frankness of boy lovers is proof
enough. We do not believe that there
ever was a girl living in the realms O.
the habitable globe who did not know
her prettiness, if pretty she was, before
reaching the age of II; but it is sadly
true that many girls who are not prettv
fall into error on the point.

Five Minutes Before the Time
Baltimore Christian Observer.

"A pastor in our city lately made the
suggestion to his congregation, that
every one endeavor to be in place five
minutes before the time appointed for
opening the service. He named as
considerations favoring this suggestion,
the following:
lit will enable you to take breath
after long walk, compose your thoughts,
and offer a brief silent prayer that you
may worship with acceptance.
2.-You will avoid disturbing others.
People will not be looking around to
see who is coming in, or have their
thoughts diverted from their proper en-
ployment, if they should see you with
out turning their heads.
s-Worship is more seemly when all
are in place at the appointed time.
"Lord how delightful It's to see,
A zOA0Le assembly worship Thee;
At 0nce they sing, at Onee they pray, =.
They hear of heaven and learn the way.
4.-By being in place at the proper
time, you afford no occasion to unchar-
liable people to say that you come late
| to attract attention.
5.--Late coming, with some, is a
habit-a bad habit, originating in mere
carelessness or self indulgence.
Off you cannot come bsf0re the
time. or at the time, be sure to come as
soon as y0u can.

a Pretty Custom.

In some portions Of Tyrol q peculiar
and beautiful custom still prevails.
When q girl is about to be married, be.
fore she leaves her home to go to the
church, her mother hands her a ker-
chief, which is called tear-kerchief.
1t is made Of newly spun linen, and has
never been used. 1t IS with this ker-
chief that she dries away her tears
when she leaves her fathers house, and
while she stands at the altar.
After the marriage is over, and the
bride has gone with her husband to
their own home, she folds up the kerr
chief and places it unwashed in her
linen closet Whereit remains untouched.
The tear-kerehief has only performed
half of its mission.
Children are born, grown up, marry,
AID move away from the old home.
Each daughter receives from the
mother new tear-kerchief Her own
sta remains whore it was placed in
4 % linen-closet on the day of the mar
.iage. Generations come and 60. The
young, rosy bride has become a
Iwrinkled old woman. She has survived
her husband and all 'trcss eaassi} dren. All
her friends may have died OFF, and Sill
that last present which she received
from her mother has not fulfilled it's OBJ
ject. But it comes at last. At last the
weary eyelids close for the long, long
sleep, and the tired, Wrinkled hands
are folded over the pulseIess heart
Then the tear-kerchief is taken from
its place and spread over the placid
features of the dead, never to be moved
until we are summoned to come forth
on the resurrection morn. Texas Sift-
ings.
