IN A LITTLE WHILE.

In little while, when shall lie
With my face upturned to the bending sky.
shall not hear the wind and rain
Beating against the window pane,
shall not sit as sit tonight
AND watch the changeful embers bright.
And sigh as l think of the fading years.
And the cherished hopes that were drowned /,
tears
In little while, when the grass shall wave
us plumy length DER my lonely grave:
When the sun shall rise, and the sun shall set
Ana none will murmur fond regret
Then shall not hear the wild birds soma.
Nor heed the hum of the busy throng
Who pass me by as lie at rest,
With tired hands folded over my breast.
In little while. when life is done.
Ana stand before the great white throne.
Whose radiance blinds my poor, weak sight
AS darkness yields to the morning light
VIII rest come then to heart and brain,
And ease quick follow on haunting pain
Shall know at last in my quiet bed
Rest only comes to the shadowy deadp
shall not heed when the coffin lid
Is closed, and the form within is hid
From the careless gaze of the careless crowd,
Who Idly chatter in accents loud
shall not heed the sods that lie
Between my face and the summer sky;
shall only know that tomorrow's sun
Wakes me no more. Life's work is done.

Saving a Sparrow.

c. An authentic incident in the career OF
+. General Robert E. Lee is told as an evi.
GSdence of his sweetness of disposition and
natural kindness. One day he was in
specting the batteries over the lines be-
low the city of Richmond, and the sol
diers had gathered in group to vel
come him. This action drew upon them
the fire of the Union guns.
The general faced about and advised
the men to go under shelter. But he
did not do this himself. Walking on
although in apparent danger, he picked
up and replaced an unfedged sparrow
which had fallen from its nest near by.

indicates really higher oendowment

given each of the twelve months of the
year, it becomes necessary for US to &c
back to the old Romans who have i'm.
posed upon US as those which the
Norsemen, Scandinavians and Saxonl
applied to the week.
January is named from Janus, the
god of doors and gates, because the
month opens the year. Some say that
he is a two-faced god, and could look
back on the last year and forward to
the coming.
February is from Tebruo, to parity.
March was originally the first month,
and was named for Mars, tue god OF
war.
April is from aperire, to open, be-
cause the buds open in thut month.
May is Main, goddess.
June is from Juno, the patron Of
marriage, and is therefore the favorite
month for weddings.
July was named for Julius Caesar,
aud August for Augustus Caesar
Originally August had but thirty days,
and February twerty-nins in the COM
mon year, and thirty in leap year.
Augustus was jealous that julius
month should have more days than bis
own, therefore took one from February
and added it to August
