SPRING IN THE COUNTRY.

What is thy dream, o farmer, bent and worn,
Now spring is waking in the misty hills?
Some sweet, new hope III thy dull eye is born;
tearing the bluebirds joyous silver trills
A new life stirs thy croaking gait and slow;
'lf crops do fail" hear him murmer low,
There's summer boarders."
What is thy dream, farm wife, pale aud sad,
Now lilac buds are swelling round thy door,
Does their faint perfume bring back days more
That thou dost smile like thy lost youth once
more?
She slowly turns and to herself doth speak,
This year We'll git dollar more week
From summer boarders."
What is thy dream, o rustic maiden fair,
Is young love dawning through the April
sheens,
That thy bright face shines with light so
rare
When in the field thou biggest cowslip greens2
There II be silk dresses breathes this guile
less one.
'1f we can get, as We have always done,
Good payin' boarders."
What is thy dream, o farm boy, lank and thin,
That by the stiie where April breezes pass,
Such thrilling strains and joyful thou dost win
From thy loud pipe, a tender blade of grass
He pauses softly, There II be fun, you bet,
When back t the farm them jolly numbskulls
get,
The summer bosrde;s.''
Wha. is thy dream. o fisher, old and gray,
That thy duh pulses quicken so with spring
Do the blithe sea winds beckon thee away
And promise wealth now storms no longer
bring?
I3! He leans back smiling, y can ford to wait,
Ketch summer boarders."

there is no limit 10 the miste es of life !;
that they are like drops in ie ocean, or
the sands on the shore in plumber; but it
is as well to be accurate Here, then, are
fourteen mistakes: 1t is great mistake to
set up our own st 7dard of right and
wrong and judge p lie accordingly; to
measure the enjoym,.. of others by our
own; to expect uniformity of opinion in
this world; to look for Judgment and ex-
perience in youth; to endeavor to mold all
dispositions alike; not to yield to inmate
rial trihes to look for perfection in our own
actions; to worry ourselves and others
with what cannot be remedied; not to allie
viate all that needs alleviation, as far as
lies in our power; not to make allowances
for the infrmities of others to consider
everything impossible that we cannot per-
form; to believe only what our finite
minds can grasp; to expect to be able to
understand everything. The greatest of
mistakes is to live for time alone, when
any moment may launch US into eternity.

Then followed series of questions and
answers, winding up with the admonition
from Mrs. Mulkittle:
"Don't say word while we are in the
store;' and they entered large house
where godly books, that are rarely read, and
ungodly books that are read, cleaned in
gilded array.
Mr.. Clipman, well-known dignitary in
the church, and whose wealth of stutter
was source of annoyance to himself and
cause of amusement to unrelenting sin

smiling in that way which men put down

"Quit that, now." He remained quiet

as the trade was about to be closed, he
asked:
"Mister, do you ever pray ?"
"Oh, yes, my-my little fellow" darkly
frowning
"But the Lord can't understand you,
can He?"
The good man turned to Mrs. Mulkittle.

The good man looked appealingly at
Mrs. Mulkittle, to whose eyes the tears of
vexation and embarrassment rushed.

shelf and exclaimed:

UNREST.

Like turbulent, dashing river
Rushing on beyond control:
Wild emotions rage within me,
Filling with unrest my soul
Robbing life of joy and peace,
Bringing care without surcease.
My heart is weary with yearnings
No power of mine can still;
Content will never come to me
Till my wishes are fulfilled:
All, wishes useless, wishes vain,
That fill my life with endless pain.
Happiness or Joy do not know,
They are but strangers to me;
But l hope some day in the future
From these yearnings to be free.
o blessed time, are you far away?
What joy were you but here to-day.
Too late, too late, am afraid to change
My life to what wish. alas
No ceasing of the conflict comes
AS days and weeks fly past,
Days of passion and pain at best,
o, when and where shall find rest?
