Whose hearts are Kind and true;
For the heaven that smiles above mo
And awaits my spirit too;
For all human ties that bind me,
For the task hy God assigned me,
For the bright hopes yet to find me.
And the good that can do.

Who suffered for my sake;
To emulate their glory
And follow in their wake:
Bards. patriots, martyrs, sages,
The heroic of all ages,
Whose deeds crowd History's pages
And Times great volume make.
live to hold communion
With all that is divine,
To feel there is union
'Twixt Natures heart and mine;
To profit by affiiction,
Reap truth from fields Of fiction.
Grow wiser from conviction
And fulfill Gods grand design.
live to hail that season
By gifted ones foretold,
When men shall live by rea3on
And not alone by gold;
When man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be lighted
As Eden was of old.
live for those who love me,
For those who know me true,
For the heaven that smiles above me
And awaits my spirit too;
For the cause that lacks assistance,
For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance

buttons on each arm, the other thirty
being needed on the waist, which butsoned

FLOWERS AND THE CHILDREN.

There are but few children who are not
attracted by the beauty and sweetness OF
flowers. We have often watched with
great interest the seemingly natural tend
ency Of young children to admire flowers
Frequently we have seen them gazing with
rapture upop the picture of flower, and
smelling it with apparent disappointment
that it yielded no perfume. The child ap-
pears to instinetively know that a flower
is delicate, innocent and pretty; and it may
be laid down as general rule that boy
that is brought up among flowers will de-
velop into better man than one who is a
stranger to flowers.
II we could have or way, we would
adorn with flowers the homes from which
come our criminal classes. They would
not Danish crime from the community. but
they would greatly lessen it. Flowers
make people gentler, softer and better, and
the father and mother who do not neglect
to provide this holy influence for their
children are doing them service that per-
haps the eternities alone will tell the
value Of Western Rural.

Animals.

are so placid and self containd;
! stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their con-

They do not make me sick discussing their
duty to God,
Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented

Not one is respectable or unhappy over the

"Yes, just before married you,
Who listened when spoke, and tried
To answer all my questions too

He'd never think a man could be
AS thoughtless and, indeed, as rude
As you so often are to me.

He would not dream that any one
Could whistle when spoke to him!
