A LITTLE POET.

There is a little poet in New
Orleans. She is 10 years old. and
when, recently, pigeons egg was
shown to her: in which was little
sauab that had just failed of being
Matched, she composed these lines:
Here lies birdie, for whom we mourn;
Birdie that died before she was born;
oh, what horrible thing is death,
When it comes before you get your breath

Rival Artists.

Rival Artists.
The moons atiOat
A Silver boat;
What diamond isles illume her sea!
No sail, no oar,
She nears the shore,
Where lost in DIRE ANS all mortais be.
All no; not all:
A secret call!
The Poet and the Artist wake;
Their souls receive
The solemn eve
The wandering world shall soon partake.
And not alone
To-day shall own,
But morrOws rising vast around,
The scene in song,
The scene along
The canvas, to its golden bound.
Two pictures caught
With varied thought,
Both true. the same, yet not the same;
The Poets touch
O'ermaSterS much
His Brothers also dear to Fame.
Upborne by wings,
The Poet sings
The mysteries that charm the night;
The Artist shows
lis grand repOse
But renders not the Inner Light.
The Origin of Scandal.
IFrom the Detroit Free Press
Said Mrs. A.
TO Mrs. }.
In quite confidential way,
1T seems to me
That Mrs. b.
Takes too understanding in her tea.
And Mrs. }.
TO Mrs. X.
That very night was heard TO say,
She gricyed 10 touch
Upon ii much,
"But Mrs. 4. look-such and sucho'
Then Mrs. X.
Went straight away,
And told II friend the self same day.
'''rwaS sad 10 think"-
Here came Il WINK
That Mrs H. was fond of drink"
The friends disgust
Mas such she must
Inform a lady which she "nuSSed,"
That Mrs. B.
AT half-pasi three
Was that far gone .iir couldn't Scc.'
This la.i, ""
Have mentioned, she
Gave nccdlcwurh 10 Mr.. b.,
And at such news
Could scarcely choose
But further needlework refuse.
Then Mrs. b.,
AS you'll agree,
Quite prOpcrly-said she, that she
Would track
The scandal back
To those who made her look so black
Through Mrs. Il.
And Mrs. j.
She got at fast to Mrs. A.,
And asked her why
With cruel lie,
She painted her so deep il dye.
SAID Mrs. A.,
In some dismay,
II no such thing could say;
| said that you
Much siOuter grew
On too much sugar-which you do

THE LAWN.

"Don't neglect the lawn. 1t is not as
important as the wheat crop. perhaps.
but it deserves better treatment than it
usually gets" Well, if the lawn is u
nice, clean one. and worn by the prop

Keep Out of Debt.

Keep Out of Debt.
+ With the usual intrlcacies of English orthOg
raphy.l
A man IN debt
No rest will gebt
Until he's in the tomb.
His cares will weigh
So heavy theigh
Will shroud his life with glomb.
He'll practice guile
And never smuilr;
His head with pain Will ache;
He'll .ricve and sigh
And want to digh,
And thus his troubles shache.
But owing none
He'll have more fnne
Than any King that reign;
He'll feel benign.
His health is tign,
And he long life atteigns.
Without a doubt
All can keep Oubt
OF debt il only they
Will never buy
To please the Guy
And cash down always pey.

He Prayed.

BY MRS. NJ. A. MONTFORT.
In anguish deep the Savior was weeping
And he prayed;
O'er Him crimson perspiration creeping,
While he prayed.
When the mocking crown of thorns he was
wearing.
Oft he prayed;
Up the mountain steep. his own cross bearing.
While he prayed.
Look upon him! Crucified and dying;
Still he prayed.
"Forgive them. Father!' Oh, hear him
crying
This he prayed.
Oh, thou blessed Savior, meek and lowly,
Hear me pray!
Cleanse me; make me purer, molly:
This l pray,
Teach me every day; yea, every hour,
How TO pray.
Guide me ever by thy gentle power,
In thy way.
And though my footsteps often wander
Far astray,
Let thy tender love be warmer, fOnder,
Lord, pray.
