To follow rivers reaching to the sea,
To nurture flowers or watch the evening star,

So lives the lark that MARBLES all day long:
So blooms the lily fair, so breathes the rose;
So willows list the brooklet's babbling song,
So quiet stars in peace OF Heaven reposel
AS showers feed the ripping mountain stream
As seeds give birth TO beauty all divine,

Till their immortal perfumed blossoms shinel
Surprising what our eyes delighted see,
Perfeeting pleasures senses family feel.
Grand pictures rise above the verdant lea.
OF what new worlds before would fain reveal
So time with wings robs earth Of treasures rare
Yet seeks TO teach the while her mystic word

THE HASTY WORD.
Ugly Marks That Our Tempers Make
Upon Our Dearest Friendships.

Ugly Marks That Our Tempers Make
Upon Our Dearest Friendships.
To think before you speak is so wise
an axiom that one would hardly think
it needful to emphasize it by repetition
And yet in how many cases the hasty
temper flashes out in the hasty word,
and the latter does its work with the
precision and the pain of the swift
stiletto! Singularly enough, the hasty
word oftenest wounds those who love
one another dearly, and the very close
ness of their intimacy affords them OPP
portunity for the sudden thrust We
know the weak points in the armor of
kinsman and our friend; we are aware
of his caprices. and ordinarily are ten
der and compassionate even of his van
tiles and his small fancies and whims;
but there dawns day when it is writ
ten in the book of fate that we shall
be as cruel as we are loving. We are
cold, or tired, or hungry. We are anx-
ious over unpaid bills, or our expected
letters have not arrived, or one of the
children is ailing, and we dread the
outcome of the malady. So politeness
fails us, fortitude is vanquished, phi
losophy is in allegiance, and we say that
which we repent in sackcloth and
ashes. But though the hasty word
may be forgiven, it is not at once for
gotten. 1t has flawed the crystal OF
our friendship; the place may be ce-
mented, but there is shadowy scar on
the cleaning surface. oh, if the word
of haste had but been left unspoken; if
the strong hand of patience had but
held back the sword as it was about to
strike.-Harper's Bazaar

dows, splashed few bucketfuls of
water about the rocking room, and the
fire was out. But the doctors were
working their best to bring back the
spark of life to two senseless forms,
and to still the shrieks of agony that

lips of Bridget Doyle.
While willing hands bore these
scorched semblances of humanity to
neighboring rooms and tender-hcarted
women hurried to add their minister

excited garrison back to quarters and
bed, he, with Cram and kinsey
and Ferry, made prompt examina-

which was also not there before. But
a towel soaked with the sitting con-
tents lay on the floor by Jim's rude
pallet. and handkerchief half soaked,

fragments of an overturned kerosene
lamp.

showed that Jim, the negro. had been
chloroformed and was not burned at

terror and burns combined. 1t took
the efforts of two or three men and
the influence Of powerful opiates to
quiet her. Taxed with negligence or
completely on the part of the sentry,
the sergeant of the guard repudiated
the idea, and assured Col. Braxton that
it was an easy matter for anyone to
get either in or out of the garrison
without encountering the sentry, and
taking his lantern led the way to the
hospital grounds by 4 winding foot
path among the trees to point in the
high white picket fence where two
stats had been showed aside. Anyone
coming along the street without could
pass far beyond the ken of the sentry
at the west gate, and slip in with the
/ utmost ease, and once inside all that
was necessary was to dodge possible re-
liefs and patrols. No sentry was post

not reported this, the sergeant smiled

young soldiers, members of the in

the soft, southerly night wind, the
splash of wavelet against the wooden
pier, and the measured football of the
sentry on the hagstone walk in front
of the sally-port, not sound was to be
heard.
For awhile they smoked in silence,
enjoying the beauty of the night,
though each was thinking only of the
storm that swept over the scene the
Sunday previous and of the tragedy
that was borne upon its wings. At last
Kinsey shook himself together.

We envy neither the men nor the

creature out of their own circle or to
anybody without the formality of an

the amount of profit as well as pleasure
such persons lose by hedging them
selves in with this stupid fence of fas-
tidiousness We have always found
more of this feeling among persons
who were more touchy on their social
position than among those self-respect-

it A great deal of intelligence is float

who have the good sense to recognize
