THE CONVICT DEAD.

There's plot of ground in Wethersfeld,
Where the grass grows rank and tall;
place of dread to childish hearts
When evening shadows fall;
The voice is hushed-the laugh is mute;
IT'S passed with quickened tread
This little plot of Gods green earth.
Where sleep the convict dead.
How many sons that promised fair
In boyhood's earthly time,
Lie stranded here-poor battered hulks-
On the wreck-strewn shores of crime!
But the little mounds that dot the field,
And the grass that Ger them grows,
May cover hearts more sinned against
Than SHINING, ah. who knows?
God help the many anxious ones
In near and far.off homes,
Who wait with eager usefulness
For him who never comes!
may they in their stormy lives
Have done some deed OF love,
That has balanced all their errors
IN the Book of Life" above.

How Shop Girls Live.

A recent article in the New York Herald
gives good description. 1t tells the pa
thetic story of a thousand struggles to make
both ends meet, the difficulties in the way,
together with hint at some of the conse-
quences at failure.
What do you say to a fight with fate by
girl who gets 50, SO, S4, or even S. week?
Doesn't it seem as though the odds were
heavily against her? Isn't that miserable
pittance a premium on crime, and do you
wonder that if in a great. brilliant, rich city
like New York there are lapses from the
rugged path of virtue?
There is no class of people who deserve
more sympathy or who have a right to
larger degree of admiration than these shop.
girls. God knows how they live. for very
few ministers even have ever found out.
They brave poverty, defy the heat of sum-
mer and the winter. climb the rickety stairs
of tenement house. make their one room
look like snuggery with flower or so. a
