do when they got to GREEN'S, anc
she wondering why he did not say
nice things to her as we'll as squeeze
her hand, and why his coat WAS but
toned up so close on such q warm
evening, and what made his face and
hat dusty, until, as they were going
down q hill, one of the traces CAME
unhitched and they had to stop.
"Oh, murder, what neXt?" SAID
Bill.
"What is the matter, Mr.. Smiley
said the widow, with i start that
came near jerking the robe OFF his
knees.
"One of the traces is off," said
Bill.
"Well, why don't you get out and
put it on ,"
"I can't; + have got-that is, !

What shall I do"
Why, Willie, what is the mat
ter; do tell me?" said the widow,
tcnderly. She gave his hand Il little
squeeze, and, looking into his pale
face, she thought he was going t"
faint, so she got her smelling bottle
out with her left hand, and pulling
the stopper with her teeth, she stuck
the bottle to his nose.
Bill was just taking in breath for i
mighty sigh, and the pungent odor
made him throw back his head so
far that ne lost his balance and vent
over the low-hacked buggy. The
little woman gave a scream as his
bare feet flew past her head, and COW
cred her face with her hands, and
gave way to tears or smiles, it is
hard to tell which. Bill was "right
side up" in moment, and was lean
ing over the back ofthe scat, hum
bly, apologizing and eyplaining, when
Ed. Wilbur and his wife drove up
behind and stopped. Poor Bill felt
that he would have rather been shot
than have Ed. Wilbur catch him in
such scrapc, but there was M help
tor it now, and he called Ed. to hins
and whispered in his ear.
Ed. was nearly bursting with sup
pressed laughter, but bcckoned to
his wife to draw up, and after saying
something to her, he helped the
widow into his own buggy, alld the
two women went on, leaving the
men behind. Bill lost no time in:
arranging his toilet as well as she
could, and then, with great perslia-
sion, Ed. got him to go home with
him, and hunting up slippers and
socks, getting him , washed aud

POETRY.
AFTER THE STORM.

Patience. for the strife is DER:
Weary wave and dying blast
Beat and moan around the shore
Peace must come at last.
Loi the sea-gull,s silver wing
Flashes in the sunset gold:
Wait. another morn shall bring
GladneSs, rs of old.
Sunlight on the yellow strand.
Shadows lying still and clear,
'Pcarly fringeS on the sand,
: Murmurs. sweet TO hear.
Storms of life must have their way
Ere these changeful years may cease
Foam and tempest for to-day,
!! And tomorrow, peace:
Never, till the fight is won,
|NA%Ia tie alter. drought is axaiGed,
Never, till the storm is done,
Shall thy rest be gained.
Waves and winds fulfil His word:
Thou, like them, shall do His will,
Waiting till his voice is heard,
Saying, /" Peace, he still.

words of wisdom
Expression is language.
Sensation is self-rclating.

Expression is language.
Sensation is self-relating.
Politics is diplomatic slavery. ..
Learning is degrees Of inspiration.
Words are but signs Of expression.
The best way to find out Is try il.
Liberty is no more Of 4 gift than
gravitatiOn.
Tho effort to keep still continues
the motion.
Strife IS Smothcrrd by seeking tn

Tn" hand can never execute any
thing 'nighrr than the character can
inspire,
The man that has lived for himself
has the privilege Of being his own
mUurnnr.
There are persons now III hell who
might have been in heaven with
half the trouble.
Whenever we vary from the high
c>t rule Of right, just so TAR we do an
injury to the world.
1t is fortunate that charity covers
4 multitude nf sins, for in these day
there is Il multitude To cover.
The present is tho time IL which
to live and 10 work. The past i Il
recollection. and the future Il plan-
taSy.
The one prudence in life is conc"n'
tration; the one evil is dissipation
and it makes no difference whether
our designations are coarse or fine.
Humility is to make right csii'
mate Of ones self. Il; i no humility
for man 10 think less Of himscl
than he ought, though il might rathe'
puzzle him to do that.
\ man cannot speak but he Judge;

God help the boy that never >rcS

Nor hears the music Of the breeze
Where zcphyrS soft are blowing.
Who can noV in sweet comfort liz
Where clover blooms are thick anu high
And hear the gentle murmur nigh
Of brooklctS softly lowing.

Who never sees the forests glow

Whose childish feet can rrvrr stray =
Where nature does her charms display
For such helpless hoy say
God help the little fellow.
