In the Twilight Hour.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
A wee mother is carefully putting
her favorite doll to bed. With tender
solicitude she removes each dainty
garment and fastens on the tiny
night gown. Then, with fond kiss,
she hugs her treasure to her and
places it in its little cradle. After
patting it for moment gently, she
tiptoes out of the room as the twi-
light peeps curiously into it,
A fair maiden stands before her
looking-glass adding the last touches
to her evening toilet. Her lover will
soon be here! Her eyes are full of
innocent lovelight! She looks eager
ly at her reflection in the glass How
glad she is that she is pretty! She
frswns little at crimp that will
not stay just as it should. A ring
comes at the door, and she hastens
away in the gathering twilight to
meet her beloved.
A young wife sits, anxiously watch
ing for her husband. AT each
approaching footstep her heart beats
rapturously and then grows heavy
with disappointment! She will not
60 indoors, it is so sweet out there /!
The creeping shadows cheer her
trembling soul-so she waits and
wishes and the shadows lengthen
into darkened night.
A mother is rocking her baby to
sleep. He looks at her gravely
while they move to and fro, as if
asking, why the bright sunshine must
leave and the ugly shadows hide her
dear face from him. There is a
wealth of wisdom in his great, sweet
eyes! He holds tightly to her dress
as if to keep her near him!
When at last his eyes are closed,
she disengages this loving hand,
kisses him lightly-he must not be
awakened-and arises to put him into
his crib. Then, she sinks back into
her chair and begins to rock him
again. 1t is so pleasant to rest in the
twilight, and he is so sweet to nurse!
A woman kneels by fresh made
grave. The headboard stares coldly
at her and seems to say over and
over again the words inscribed upon
it: "He was her only child and she
was widow"
With tear-ladened eyes she bends
down lower and lower, till her lips
rest upon the earth. She longs SO to
kiss the quiet form it is hiding from
her And the twilight seems to hurry
past her and gladly lose itself in the
darkness.
A care-worn old woman sits watch
ing the shadows come-they are
friends to her-friends that she
welcomes-for they always sing the
same song to her, "One day nearer
home" And as she smiles to them
her thanks, she too repeats. some day
nearer home" And so life-woman's
life-goes on in the twilight, till rest
comes to her weary body and joy to
her waiting heart-till her spirit
reaches its home where never a
shadow can fall upon it. MIG. T.

WISE AND WElGHTY.


 A YEAR of pleasure passes like a fleeting breeze, but a moment of sorrow seems an age of pam.
 STRONG character, Prof. Hardy says, like strong muscle, comes from activity, from warfare, not retreat.
 As REASONABLY expect oaks from a 1E.ush- room bed as great and durable profits from small and hasty efforts.
 HAPPY is he who has learned this .one thing-to do the plain duty of the moment quickly and cheerfully, whatever it may be.
 VIRTUE consists in making deslre subor- dinate to duty, passion to principle. The pillars of character are moderation, temper ance, chastity, simplicity, self-control; it's method is self-denial.
 THIS life is like bale of silk on loom, that winds itself up as fast as it is woven. You do not know what the figure is until it has been taken off and unrolled; then you begin to see what it is. This life weaves i; the other life reveals.
 A TRUE friendship is religion, rather than a sentiment. It is beyond the inf1u- ence Of dyspepsia or want of circulation, although Sydney Smith says: "Old friend ships may be destroyed by toasted cheese.' Only those friendships which are the delib- crate choice of thoughtful mind, and not the make-shifts of an unoccupied heart, are generous and true.
