a Creed of Love.

Do not keep the alabastcr boxes of
your love and tenderness sealed up until
your friends arc dead. Fill their lives
with sweetness Speak approving, cheer
ing words while their cars can hear
them and while their hearts can be
thrilled and made happier by them The
kind things you mean to say when they
arc gone say before they go. The flow
ers you mean to send for their collins
send to brighten and swectcn their
homes before they leave them. If my
friends have alabastcr boxes laid away
full of fragrant perfumes Of sympathy
and affection which they intend to break
over my dead body, I would rather they
would bring thom out In my weary and
troubled hours and open them, that l
may be refreshed and cheered by them
while need them. l would rather have
plain coffin without flower, funeral
without eulogy, than life without
tho sweetness of love and sympathy Let
us learn to anoint our friends before
hand for their burial Post morton
Kindness docs not cheer tho burdened
spirit. Flowers on tho coffin cast no
fragrance backward over the weary way.
-Goorgo W. Childs.

ALONE.

Alone whenthe day is dawning,
Alone when the night dews fall
Under the veil at tho bridal,
Under the gloom at the pail,
Behind impenetrable barriers
To work out its life of dole,
From its first faint cry till the hour TO do
Is the doom OF each mortal soul.
First tender thought of the mother
Who briI gs us forth in pain,
AS she looks in the eyes of her offspring
some clew toits soul to gain,
"Of what is my baby thinking,
With that gaze intent and wise?'
But ever remains the mystery,
And never voice replies.
Alone is the child in his sorrow
Over the broken toy;
Alone is the stricken lover,
Mourning vanished Joy;
Alone is the bride at the altar,
Alone the bridegroom stands,
With his hidden life between them,
That-and their pllghted hands.
Alone lies the wife, with the cankeo
ofblighted hope In her heart
Alone is the husband dreaming,
OF baked ambitions smart,
And so from the birth to the burial,
From the first to the latest breath;
In crowded streets, on lonely sleeps,
The soul goes alone till death.

A remarkable loss of patronage is
reported by the Mercantile Library in
Philadelphia, which is one of the
largest and best in the United States.
1t is pay library, and in 1871 it had
11,786 members and subscribers and
circulated 26S,277 books. Since that
year which saw its ''high water mark, "
its business has gradually ebbed away
to membership Including subscrib-
ers) of BIS, and a circulation of
S6,563, those being the figures for
1898. This astonishing condition of
affairs is hard to explain, admits the
New York Mail and Express, as no
great free library has been started in
Philadelphia to warrant the decrease
in the Mercantile's business.
