Censure and Criticism.

A noble disposition eager for self improvement will accustom itself 10 court censure as frankly as most people court commendation. It will not merely receive with grace and accept, but it will use censure. Whether the strictures be from the soul of enemy or friends; whether prompted by love, sympathy, pity, jealousy or malice; whether they bear the impress of refined and vulgar spirit; whether just to the point or entirely untimely; whether chiefly true or chiefly false; whether conveyed in general terms or specili- cally-makes little difference. They are an eye-glance from outside into self, too valuable tc be contemptu- ously discarded. Possibly they point a deep lesson for us. If the blame does not hit the mark in this instance, we can viyidly recall in- stances in our past when we were standing just where it would have pierced us, had it come at that time, and we are able to impress on our souls warning lesson for the future. And even If the censure is so unde- served that it fails to remind us of anything erroneous Iii what we have been, and fails to open up to any weakness in what we are, it neverthe- less still serves the important pur- pose of revealing to us what some one outside of us thinks we are. Let us strive in every case of censure so to retain our personal feelings as to be able, without regard to the mo- tives in the critic that prompted it's utterance, to reap for our improve ment the full benefit of that insight which the censure may open up to s. Sunday School Times.

sing Her unseen invalid friend had told one of her friends what to do to bring Hetty forward, and aS soon as he asked her the rest joined iE, and Horace was thrown into q cold fear and apprehension, yet so bewildercd was he that he could only stand and watch them lead Hetty to the piano, where she took her seat simply and naturally, saying at the same time she feared they would be disappointed, as she sang only sim pie things; and then in her rich contralto voice, that vibrated with that tender chord that reaches from heart to heart, she sang with grace, q perfection and feeling that none but true artists can give, some sweet old ballads which brought tears to every eye.
 Conversation was hushed, and ev- cry guest listened as if spell-bound while she sang, and they begged for more and more. At last she sang the grand air from Dinorah, which was given with faultless precision and perfect execution, as well as with true feeling, and Hetty was the queen from that moment.
 She rejoiced in her triumph, for she had done it all for love of her husband, but when she went home and thought it all over, she suddenly found that her love for him had died
 His years of selGshness while he thought her a weak, ignorant woman, unworthy of man so talented as himself, his neglect for her. his self ishness all now appeared before her in their true light, and her love was dead. He had killed it.
 Hetty took up her new life as one lifts heavy burden. He was elected !; they went to Washington, where her beauty, her grace and talent, as well as womanly tact made her favorite in society, though she never aspired to leadership, and her husband now adorcd her with jealous love and abject devotion that wearied her to death.
 How often her heart had asked vainly for one of the kind words now lavished at her feet, and now she could not help despising the man who could see no good in her until the world had, aud though she stined her feelings, and bore her part before the world well and bravcly, she knew all the time that her heart was dead. and her husband had killed it, and now was bewailng it's murder.

A Western Editors Tribute.

Our heart is heavy to-day, George !. Sebastapol, whom we have long known and admired. is dead. In the flush and glory of his manhood, when the future seemed as rcsplcndent as an angels dream, the rain of death came sobbing to the door way of his brilliant career, and the phantom boatman fcrried him across the dark river. Poor George! This day there will he weeping in little home on the hill, where a gray-haired mother kisses the cold brow of her lost one; where weeping wife bends over the still form and fondles the dear hands that were wont to lovingly caress her; where beautiful children try Tn vain to coax from the dumb lips loving word-from whence loving words were as a river It is hard that the misty twilight of death should so soon blot out the golden glow of the morning; 1t is hard that the anthem should be broken that the dirge might com mence; it is hard that the dead blades of the grave grass should quiver over feet that should for years press the green verdure of sum- mer. Poor George. Generous, noble and honest; charitable, affec- tionate and true; a sunbeam in the gloom of humanity; a beacon gleam ing in the darkness of this world. Not alone will your wife and mother weep over your grave; scores who have loved and known you will kneel by your last resting-place in the silent twilight, and their tears will tell heaven how they miss you.
 LATER-Our information concern ing the death of Mir. Sebastapol was wrong. He is alive and enjoying excellent health. We hope that George will at once call at this off ce and pay us the s3 due on subscrip- ton. His account has been running for two years, and as we are greatly in need of money he will oblige us by making prompt remittance. - ! Exchange.

AFTER THE SHADOWS.

Life may grow darkened though love has thrown The strength of its light around il Till longer and deeper the shadows grown,
 Hide the halo of bliss that crowned it. Clouds may float down on our valley of peace
 And crush our meek flowers with scorning, Yet never thi, song in our spirits shall cease
 After the shadows, the morning. Never SD closely does pain fold its wings,
 But the white robe of sympathy's near it: And each tear that the dark hand of misery wrings, Brings the touch of blessing to cheer it AS fades the dim night at the coming of day.
 When ii weavcs its bright web of adorning, So hoateth pale grief from our pathway away Come after our shadows, the morning.
