HOPES BURIAL,

- AE
Ihave folded the hands Of my dear, dead Hope
And have closed her beautiful eyes;
A smile is frozen upon her face
And the cold limbs curve with their ancien,
grace:
She does not stir when I call her,
She does not waken or rise.
So now to bury my dear dead Hope,
z For the dead must be hidden away
Though they changed not but stayed forever
s5 fair.
~ would frighten the living to see them there,
Fronting the skies with their moveless eyes,
Doubling the light OF day.
No other shall help me to bury my Hope,
The burden is mine alone;
] will dig her grave in the dusk Of the night
And will cover the fair face out Of sight,
And shape and round the low green mound,
And raise no funeral stone.
1shall sit by the grave Of my buried Hope,
And none will remember but 1;
The wind that blows by her sepulcher
Shall softer be for the touch OF her;
Violets will know that she sleeps below
And the stars keep watch from the sky.

BAD-WORD SOCIETIES.
Why They should Be Encouraged Instead
of Being Laughed At.

The "Bad-Word Societies that
have sprung up lately in the New
England schools are by no means TO
be laughed at. They may do a great
deal of good, and that good is of a
nature that generally lies beyond the
reach of teachers. There are few
Fairgrounds attached to boys schools
in this country where language is not
constantly used which would grieve
and astound the mothers of those who
utter and of those who hear them.
The Rules" Of the Bad-Word Soci-
ETY. are usually not written down, but
they are something like this: "One
cent fine for every bad word spoken;
every boy to report his own bad words
to the treasurer, and pay up; no tell
ing of any other boys bad words; the
money to 90 to the school library"
This is simple and practical. Per-
haps, the scheme might be enlarged a
little so as to include the grosser forms
of bad grammar, such as, Il done it,
them cabbages,n and ''you was" 1t
is highly absurd that the boys who
have been going to a grammar school
for years should violate the most rudi-
mental laws Of grammar every time
they speak ten consecutive words.
But the main point is TO destroy the
habit of polluting the mouth and cor
rupting the heart by the Use of words
which are properly called "bad.'
Every boy knows what they are, for
no one can keep beyond the sound
of them. They pollute the air
of every street and are heard,
more or less, wherever and whenever
there is a company of boys playing to-
gether. They partly cause the dread
that mothers feel when they see their
little sons going for the first time to a
bows school. The mothers watch their
boys departure with 4 mixture of
pride, pleasure and apprehension. and
urn away from the window at last
with Il sigh, because they know that
few boys older yet realize what a duty
they owe to younger ones in the way
of a good example. .
There is one reason for the suppress
sion of bad words which no-boy can
know any thing about, 1t i, this: We
seldom forget the evil things we learn
in IL school-days. They cling to the
n,ap,,rr- in r,;to pf ali Ua can do Il
