FOR GIRLS AND BOYS.
THE GREAT PROCESSION.

Did you ever happen to think, when dark
Lights up the lamp outside the pane
And you look through the glass on that wonder
land
Where the witches are making their tea in
the rain,
Of the great procession that says its prayers
All the world over, and climbs the stairs,
And goes to wonderland OF Dreams
Where nothing at all is just what it seems,
All the world over at o'clock
Sad and sorrowful, glad and gay,
These with their eyes as bright as dawn,
Those almost asleep on the way
This one capering, that one cross,
Plated treSses. or curling floss,
Slowly the long procession streams
Up to the wonderland OF dreams.
Far IN the islands of the sea
The great procession takes up its way,
Where, throwing their faded fower-wreaths
down,
Little savages tire OF play:
Though they have no stairs TO climb at all,
And go TO sleep wherever they fall,
By the seas soft song and the stars soft
CLEANS
They are off to the wonderland of dreams.
Then the almond lids OF the Tartar boy
Drop like leaf at the close of day;
And her mat is pleasant as clouds of down
To the tawny child of the Himalay;
And the lad on the housetop at Ispahan
Sees night, while the rose-breaths around him
fan,
Lead up from the desert his starry teams
And monnt to the wonderland of dreams.
Still westward the gentle shadow steals,
And touches the head of the Russian maid,
And the Vikings sons leave wrestle and leap,
And Gretchen loosens her yellow braid,
And Bess and Arthur follow along
And sweet Movourneen at evening song,
All minging the morrow's hopes and schemes
With those of the wonderland OF dreams.
The round world over, with dark and dew,
See how the great procession swells;
Hear the music to which it moves,
The childrens prayers and the evening
bells,
1t climbs the slopes Of the far Azores,
At last it reaches our western shores,
And where can it go at these extremes
But into the wonderland of Dreams
Iurrying, scampering, lingering slow,
All what a patter of little feet!
,Eyelids heavy as flowers with bees,
Was ever any thing half so sweet?
Out OF the tender evening blue
do not believe it has come for you
To be off in the wonderland of dreams,
Where nothing at all is just what it seems.

A Cheerful Spirit.

How contagious it is! II can not
meet Mr.. Thompson without getting a
CLEAN of sunshine into my own life. "
said friend, recently. How we all
need it! How one cheerful face lights
up and brightens company, and
changes in the thought of dishearten-
ed pastor the whole aspect of congre-
cation! What right has one to look
like a thunder-cloud, and to generate
darkness and gloom wherever he goesP
Be cheerful. Cultivate q pleasant look
and a pleasant way of speaking to
every one. Never take doleful view
of things, then no one will cross the
street to avoid meeting you, or feel
that his peace is destroyed by brief
interview. The clear sky and bright
sunshine after days of rain and fog are
no more grateful than the cheering
face of those who reflect the most OF
the image of God. Our Young People

PARIS, June 29.-The first informal
session OF the international conference Of
members of legislative bodies in the in
tereet of peace and international arbitra.
tion as substitute for war was held
today and was largely attended. This
conference grows out Of the efforts OF a
committee Of the English house of com.
mons, several members of which visited
the United States last year in be-
half of the movement. As re-
suit there is large delegation from
beyond the Atlantic headed by
Congressman Mason, Of Chicago. From
England there are here fifty members OF
the commons and the parliaments Of
Australia, Italy, Germany, Switzerland,
Belgium and Denmark are also repre-.
sented. Humanitarians have been look
ing forward TO the conference with great
expectations, and attach greater import
ance to il than to an ordinary peace
congress from the fact that it is made up
entirely of legislators, men not only WITH
influence in shaping the policy Of their
own country, but who also have voice
in shaping that policy. The conference
will draw up a plan for the arbitration
of disputes between nations, and which
will be pressed on the attention Of the
governments of the various countries.

gress that has just closed will be the
