A HOUSEHOLD CAROL.

! love and admire the beautiful woods,
The mountains and the sea,
But never a bit these troublesome goods
That were not meant for me;
The pots and kettles and frying-pans,
That roll my spirit and spoil my hands.
o. life would be Of such beggarly worth
Could we not rise sometimes
From the sooty, unsuitable things OF earth
And the saving up Of dimes
From the broom and shovel and coffee-pot-
To broader range IN the world OF thought.
So one may cherish mid household cares
A grand and lofty aim;
With noble dignity sweep the stairs,
In amity feed the flame;
With high philosophy season pies,
And poetry ponder, potato wise.
In hole-y hose there Is room for art,
In onions the soul Of strength;
The flower Of patience blooms in the heart
With fagots Of stinted length
Subimely, too, may plety dwell
In the topsy turvest cleaning spell.
We know that Heaven lis changeless and fair
And nothing can we bestow
To add to the beauty and glory up there,
Or heighten those robes Of snow;
But we may bring down from that world o
bliss s
The grace that brightens and sweetens this.
Hattie HoUard, in Good HOu8eEsfptng.

PARTING OF SAVAGES.
An Incident which Proves That Their In
difference Is Not Real.

ID ANOl AAOh'
The stoical Indifference of sqvages
is prover5al. 1t is not altogether
real, however. 1t partly studied for
concealment; and partly due to the
fact that the affections are latent.
Our mistake is in supposing the savage
ature incapable of feeling. The fol-
lowing observation shows what be'
longs to that nature and what is lack,
ing to it:
When away with recruiting party
from the labor-ship Redcoat, on the San
Christoval coast, | was present at the
parting Oh the beach of six natives,
who had elected to go to FIJI to work
for term of three years on the
plantations. But little regret was
visible in the faces of those who's c
friends were leaving them. Son part
ed with father, and brother with
brother, with as little regret as if they
were merely parting for the hour. The
mother or sister played no part in this
scene, characteristic negative feat.
ure of The social life of these natives.
However, amongst the six natives
was an elderly woman who was fol.
lowing her husband to FIJI, and her
departure was evidently keenly felt
by small knot of female companions
on the beach. Ole poor creature
stood at the edge of the water, look.
ing wistfully toward the boat as it
was being pulled away, and crying
more after the manner of a frelful
child 1t was the bond of q true af-
feclion that knit together the hearts
of these poor women. In this episode

of Milton:
