SHADOWS.

Shadows obscure lofty heights OF the mount
aims,
They fall across the deep valleys below,
Over our paths through the felds and by fount-
aims,
Passing throaga shadows, wherever we CO.
Never home, where no shadows are resting,
Where there was never a sorrow or pain,
Never heart but some grief is distressing
Shadows have fallen again and again.
Hopes are oft blighted, and lone and forsaken,
Day has no sun, and night not a star,
Friends We have loved from US have been
taken,
Many mound casts its shadows affair."
But, on our pathway, though shadows are fall
ing,
Mists settle down and our visions obscure,
Sei, through the mists, silent voices are call
ing,
Out from the realm OF the blest and the pure
Fen through the shadows q form is appearing
Born of glory which streams from above,
Shadows are lifting, the morning is nearing,
Brightness is dawmng of infinite love-
Morning shall rise with no shadow or sadness.
Een from deaths valley shall mists roll
away,
Gut from the shadows, to sunshine of gladness,
We shall emerge to the unclouded day.

"Why, Tommy Dawsonr she ex-
claimed, where have you been, we've
been calling you everywhere"
"What arc you polishing your best
shoes for? To wear to the store?" de-
manded Tommy, skillfully evading the
question.
''Store!'' echoed Tilly, scornfully.
'Why, Tommy Dawson, Uncle Tom
is here. and he's going to take US
home with him, and he's in an awful
hurry, and mothers upstairs laying
out your clothes, and I've polished
your best shoes. You see we thought
you might come in in time to get ready,
if every thing was fixed for you to dress
in hurry. And oh! Tommy, / was
that afraid would have to go without
you," and here lilly paused to take her
breath.
Tommy may live to be very old, but
ne will never forget how mean he felt
just then.
You'd better not stand there" con-
tinued lilly; Uncle Tom said we
must be ready in half an hour. and
he's been here most fifteen minutes
now"
Tilly was too much excited to no.
tice his confusion, and he buried his
burning face in the depths of the wash
basin.
lilly could not think what made
Tommy so very kind and thoughtful
during the next fifteen minutes, and
when after running upstairs after her
parasol and handing it to her, he
stopped to pick thread from her
dress, her wonder found expression in
words: "How nice you are to-day.
Tommy; just wish you'd be that way
all the time"
And Tommy. as he climbed into the
buggy which was to take them to the
station, resolved that he would "be
that way just as often as he could
think of it. / think he must have
kept his resolution, for it was only the
other day that l heard lady remark:
"How much Tommy Dawson seems to
think of his sister; he treats her just
as if she were some other boys sis
er."-Mrs. Ermina Mason, in United
Presbyterian.

FOR OUR YOUNG READERS.
A TIME OF GRIEF.
a B;r-L;tt.e Girls Lament.

a Bis-L;tt.e Girls Lament.
Alas, for the girl just turned thirteen!
Alas for tbs day OF dearthl
There's never a time in life, ween,
So utterly shoTn cf mirth.
You need not doubtingly shake your head
And murmur of chidhoods ease;
Nor sadly sigh DER days that are dead
But listen "a moment, please.
You think it is fun to be a girl;
And deem that we have no share
In the overwhelming hurry and whlrl
or grown-up duty and care.
You wisely prate, in our tired young ears
OF the spring-time's perfect joy;
Ard gravey hint OF the coming years,
When all life's pleasures shall cloy.
Now, don't believe you ever think
OF the trials we have to bear;
Nor how these childish burdens will sink
Young hearts in deepest despair.
We have imperative wants like you,
And precious thoughts OF our own;
But no one believes they are really true,
Because they are not full-grown.
Yes, that's the trouble, my lst'n!ng friend.
The reason why we complaint;
All childish things have come to an end,
But naught do we seem to gain.
We've out grown the dolls that flied our hearts
To the brim of loving cheer:
And TO longer make mud-pies and tarts
Is out of the question here.
We're too b g to run and romp and play
At the noisy games you dread
Just big enough to be in the wGy,
And too big TO send to bed.
Tco Big to slide down the cellar door,
Too big to swing on the gatei
All, truly. folk. it's an awful bore
This dreary transition state.
You're quite untouched by my girlish moan,
And you smile at my sad song;
I tell you, fancies can be full-blOwD
If dresses are not worn long
AL well, it's idle, of course. to sigh
Over chill hoods Unfedged woe:
We've got to hop e'er we learn to fly
But hopping IS dreadful Slo1c.

RIDING TO WATER.
A Delightful Little Trip That Had an Un-
pleasant Termination.


Good Billy! nice Billyr' said little
Joe, as he patted the nose of the old
black horse. "Say, Uncle John, can't
1 ride him to water?"
II am afraid you can not hang on to
him." replied his uncle. ID id you
ever ride horse"
mo, uncle; but am sure l can,"
answered Joe. please let me try.
I'll take hold of his name with both
hands. and hang on as hard as ever 1
can"
"Well, you may try it. There is
the trough, against that fence, the
other side of the barn. Look out that
old Billy does not give you duck
ing"
''Never fear for me-" cried Joe, rid
ing away in great glee.
He was q little city boy, and had
come out to the farm to make his
uncle visit. He thought it great fun
to take a ride on horseback.
1t did not take him long to find the
trough, for old Billy knew the way
right we'll. Then, how it happened,
Joe never could tell; Billy put his
head down quite suddenly, and right
over it slid the little boy. with great
splash, head first into the water.
Of course he was not hurt. He
caught hold of the fence and came out,
dripping from head to foot.
Old Billy looked on rather sur
prised, but got his drink. He let Joe
lead him back to the barn, and how
Uncle John did laugh at him. Joe
laughed too. as he went off to get on
some dry clothes. Though he took a
good many rides after that. he mover
forgot his first one on old Billy's back.
