A LESSON OF THE SEASON.

This is season of partings.
Friends are separating, as they go
h1ther and thither to the seaside, or
to the mountains, or to beyond the
ocean. Good-bys are said cheerily,
often carelessly, sometimes sadly.
And there is both bright side and
dark side to every midsummer good
by. The separations of this season
are for recreation and for health
seeking; and hope of adding enjoy
ments through the hours of absence
gives zest to the thought of parting,
as an earnest of a happier meeting.
Yet there must be unlooked-for
changes before the time of anticipated
return is here. Who shall say how
great those changes shall be? Friends
who part now with brightest fore
bookings are never to see each other
again on earth; or are to meet by
and by with hearts that shall be
heavier than ever before. ITO them
that love God all things work to-
gether for good;' and with all the
doubt that hangs over the future,
the child of God need have no dread
of that which is in store, on Gods
plan, for him or for his. But the
thought of what may be, should
give a tenderness to the words of
parting, and a seriousness to the
thought of the separated ones. And
comfort can be found in that COM
munion of spirit, during the season
of absence, which comes of commun-
ion with Him who is equally near to
each one of those who are farthest
removed from each other Sunday

FOR THE HOME.
DISSOLUTION.

Somewhat back from the village street,
Stands the old fashioned country seat,
Across its antique portico
Tall poplar trees their shadows throw,
And there, throughout the livelong day
Jemima plays the pi-a-na-
Do, re, mi,
Me, re, do.
In the front parlor. there it stands,
And there Jemima plies her hands,
While her papa, beneath his cloak,
Mutters and groans: This is no joke,"
And swears to himself and signs, alas!
With sorro wful voice to all who pass,
DO, re, mi,
Me, re, dol"
Through days of death and days OF birth
She plays as if she owned the earth,
Through every swift vicissitude
She drums as if it did her good.
And still she sits from morn till night
And plunks away with main and might,
Do, re, mi,
Me, re, do.
In that mansion used to be
Free hearted hospitality,
But that was many years before
Jemima monkeyed with the score.
When she began her daily PUNK
Into their graves the neighbors sunk.
Do, re, mi,
Me, re, do.
To other worlds they've long since fed,
All thankful that they're safely dead.
They stood the racket while alive
Until Jernima rose at five,
And then they laid their burdens down,
And one and all they skipped the town.
Do, re, mi,
Me, re, do.
