The pearl Of my heart
Shall shine no more upon my happy breasL-
Last night within my room

My jewel al aglow
Hope dead or LOST All no

As suits Gods perfect viii;
And though our souls seem dead 10 every joy,
Some faint hope liyeth still.
We may sit down in deep and dumb despair,
Nor care 10 lift our eyes,

So sad with grief and fear,
A shy sweet Presence thrills Us with her smile
And whispers Hope is here"

ToOT'S MISTAKES.

How little City Boy Enjoyed His sum
mer in the Country.
George was spending the summer in
the country, and very fresh and beauti-
ful every thing seemed to him after the
long winter confinement in school.
But there were no boys in the little
out-of-the-way village where his Aunt
Charlotte lived, and after the novelty of
the change had worn of a little and he
had gone over the garden few times,
explored the orchard and ransacked the
garnet, he began to consider what ne
should do.
Now almost every child has a pet of
some kind but there really seemed to
be nothing on the place for him to pet
but some staid old hens, and what boy
could make any thing out of an old hen?
He longed for a kitten, but kittens
will grow into old cats, and cats were
forbidden about the house on account Of
his Aunt Charlotte's canary.
However, just before be came, his
aunt had set dozen fine Brahma eggs,
and when they were Matched one of
the chickens was given TO him as his
special charge.
AS the chicken grew it became very
tame, ard seemed to enjoy being carried
around and petted as much as if it mad
been puppy or a kitten.
There was a lovely swing in the yard
under spreading tree, and the two
friends had great deal of fun there
swinging together the chicken seem
ing to enjoy it fully as much as George,
excepting when he would whirl round
and round and twist the rope; then the
poor little chicky would get so dizzy
that it would tumble over on its side
when it tried to walk, much to this
naughty boys delight
During the fine summer days they
took long walks together and the guam
titles Of fat, black crickets that were
caught to satisfy its delicate appetite, l
can not begin to tell
Now Georges big brother had guitar,
and George had learned to play little
on it and sing a few songs.
One day he thought he would try the
effect of little music upon his chicken,
and so gave concert for its special
benefit
After catching it, and bringing it into
the house and standing it on chair, he
seated himself in front of his pet and
began with the song Of Polly Wolly
Doodle"
One might naturally think that a
chicken would object to such strange
doings, but, on the contrary, this small
fowl seemed to enjoy it, and stood with
out moving, as though it were charmed,
only cooking its little white head from
side to side with the most knowing air.
Then George sang in pathetic tones
the Spanish Cavalier, changing the
chorus to:
Say, Chicky, say, when I'm far away,
Sometimes you cluck for me, dear
Bright sunny day will soon fade away, etc.
And so on he had gone through his list
of songs
The concert proved such a success
that every rainy day it was repeated,
much to the delight of his pet
George is back in the city again, and
by this time the chicken has grown to
staid middle age, but George will not
soon forget his little pet, and am sure
you will agree with him when he says
that boy can have some fun even with
a chicken Florence Pearl England. in

A MISERABLE HABIT.
What Business Man Has to Say of People
Who forget.

VINO orget
The American Grocer gives the fol-
lowing advice, which every young man
will do well to remember:
A successful business man says there
were two things which he learned when
he was eighteen, which were ever after
ward Of great use to him, namelY;
Never to lose any thing, and never to
forget any thing.
An old lawyer sent him with an i'm
portant paper, with certain instructions
what to do with it. But inquired
the young man. suppose lose it; what
shall do then?'
You must not lose it"
Il don't mean to-" said the young
man, but suppose ! should happen
top
But l say you must not happen to: l
shall make no provision for such an oc-
currence; you must not lose it,
This put new train of thought into
the young mans mind, and he found
that if he was determined to do thing,
he could do it He made such provi-
sion against every contingency, that he
never lost any thing. He found this
equally true about forgetting. If GER
tain matter of Importance was to be re-
membered, he pinned it down on his
mind, fastened it there, and made it
stay. He used to say: When a man
tells me that he forgot to do something,
tell him he might as well have said:
I do not care enough about your bust
ness to take the trouble to think about
it again
once had an intelligent young man
in my employment who deemed it suffi-
cient excuse for neglecting any impor-
tant task to say Il forgot it. told
him that would not answer. If he was
sufficiently interested he would be care
full to remember. Itwas because he did
not care that he forgot it. l drilled
him with this truth. He worked Tor me
three years, and during the last of the
three he was utterly changed in this re-
spect He did not forget thing. His
forgetting, he found, was lazy, care
less habit or the mind, which he cured

lieves to be the straight story, from the

taking . revolver from behind the

times, making terrible gashes in the
scalp, from which the blood flowed In

much struggling on his part, to Engle's

The Sioux reservation is open the
great barrier is finally removed by q
proclamation issued by President Harri.
son on Monday, the 10th inst. The
great Oklahoma rush is being duplicat.
ed counties are being organized, and
towns springing into existence as il by
magic. Every available acre will soon
be entered, and a bad feature OF the
situation will be the multitude of
counter claims, which will involve liti-
cation, practically without end. The
great event, so long and persistently
contended for has at last transpired, the
gate, which for so long period resisted
the most powerful efforts of the Dakotas
TO open, Is now ajar, and may IL result,
as 1t doubtless will, in incalculable bene-
fit to the twin states to whom Is largely
due the credit for accomplishing so
desirable consummation. The ex-
treme length Of the proclamation pre-
cludes its appearance in the present
issue. The proclamation throws open
to settlement 100000 acres of land,
which will be disposed Of to settlers
under the PROVISIONS Of the homestead
law. In addition to the fees each settler
will be required to pay $l.o5 per acre,
and upon full payment of the money
will be entitled to q patent.
