HEART MUSIC.

Come, sing to me, my heart!
A song that none Dut thou and may know;
Oh, let the muse in notes of love o'erhow.
Use all thy choicest art
TO cheer and bless. To-day is good to see.
What doth the morrow hold tor thee and me ?
The fates alone can TELL Tor though our eyes
Unfiinching search the futures doubtful skies,
We only see IN part,
And may not know What lies beyond the veil
That drops between; each life must tread
alone
The wine-press of its griefs; its sins atone
Singly and face to face with One who knows
The darkest wales where sorrow hides her
woes,
And sin and wrong from sunlight ever flee
And hidden lie in silent misery.
The world IS old and sad to-day methinks,
The past and future bound by iron links,
Forged by the hand of fate. Nay Is it so?
May not fate, kinder grown, with one swift
blows
Sever one link and bid the past away,
The future glow with promise fair as day?
Howeer it be, but thou and alone
May know what in our life has bitter grown,
Or what is sweet to think and ponder on;
What battles lost, what victories we have
won.
Nay! Let us not repine nor grieve apart,
But face the world with music on our tongue,
Such melody as voice had never sung;
OF hope and faith renewed and tender love
Born in our soul from that great Soul above
Whose name is Love. Repress the tears that
start
Come Weave a melody with cunning art,
And sing to me- my heart! A. u. u.

Woman Boorblacks in Franco

A custom is gaining ground in France.
and especially in Toulon and certain
other towns, which shows that a boot
black need not be always the begrimed
creature he appears to be here This is
the employment of women as street shoe
blacks. The French women shoeblacks
are most coquetishly gotten up. and. as
to their caps and frills, have somewhat
the appearance of hospital nurses, and il
is surprising that, though their occupa-
ton is tolerably dirty one, they always
seem clean and tidy; some of them are
doing the polishing in gauntlet gloves.
An improvement that ought to be made,
but which no one seems to have thought
of, is that the bootblack should be made
to moisten his blacking with something
else than his saliva. 1t is not nice to
think of otherwise cleanly persons going
about carrying on their shining boots the
dried secretions OF the bootblack's mouth.
He may be diseased-you don't know!
Surely he could carry a sponge or water
bottle and spray" his brushes. 1t would
only add trifle of cost to his OUTFIT

nIGn TIDE AT GEIrYs sBURG.

A cloud possessed the hollow field,
The gathering battles smoky shield,
AthWart the gloom the lightning flashed,
And through the cloud some horseme1
dashed,
And from the nights the thunder pealed.
Then at the brief command of Lee
Moved out that natchless infantry;
With Pickett leading grandly down
TO rush against the roaring crown
OF those dread nights of destiny.
Far heard above the angry guns
A cry across the tunult runs,
The voice that rang through Shiloh's woods
And ChlckamaugaS SOitudeS,
The flerce South cheering on her sons.
All, how the'withering tempest blew
Against the front OF Pettigrew
kamsin wind that scorched and singed
Like that internal flame that fringed
The British squares at Waterlooi
A thousand fell where Kemper led;
a thousand died where Garnet bled;
In binding flame and strangling smoke
The remnant through the batteries broke
And crossed the works with Armistead.
"Once more in glory's van with me %
Virginia cried to Tennessee.
"We two together, come what may,
Shall stand upon these works to-day,
The reddest day In historyW
Brave Tennessee! Reckless tte way
Virginia heard her comrades Ay:
"Close round the rent and riddled rag ~
What time she set her battle-fiag
Amid the guns OF Doubleday.
But who shall break the guards that wait
Before the awful face oftate?
The tattered standards of the South
Were shriveled at the cannons mouth,
And all her hopes We're desolate.
In vain the Tennesseeon sat
His bravest 'gainst the bayonet
In vain Virginia charged and ragged,
tigress in her wrath uncaged,
And all the hill was red and wet
Above the bayonets mixed and crossed,
Men saw gray, gigantic ghost
Recedlng through the battle cloud
And heard across the TEMPEST loud
Ihe death cry OF nation lost.
The brave went down: without disgrace
They leaped 10 ruins red embrace
They only heard Fame's thunders wake,
And saw the dazzling sunburst break
In smiles on Glory's bloody face
They fell, who lifted up a hand
And bade the sun in heaven to standl
They smote and fell, who set the bars
Against the progress of the stars,
And stayed the march of motherland!
They stood who saw the future come
On through the fights delirium!
They smote and stood who held the hope
OF nations on that slippery slope
Amid the cheers of Christendomi
God lives ! He forged the iron will
That clutched and held that trembling hill.
GOD lives and reigns He built and lent
The nights for Freedoms battlement
Where floats her flag in triumph still!
Fold up the banners! Smelt the guns,
Love rules Her gentler purpose runs.
The mighty mother turns in tears
The pages of her battle years,
Lamenting all her fallen sons!

wholly of metal and always in one piece

they should have joints, because corrupt

in the same way with aluminium handles.
Aluminium is coming into use exten-
