I BOY S PROMISE.

The school was out, and down the
street
The noisy crowd came thrOnging,
The hue Of health and gladness sweet
To every face belonging.
Among them strobe little lad,
Who listened to another,
And mildly said, half grave, half sad
81 can't promised mother"
a shout went up, ringing shout
OF boisterOus derision;
But not one moment left in doubt
That manly, brave decision.
$50 where you please, do what you
WILL"
He calmly told the other;
"But j shall keep my words, boys,
still;
I can't promised mother"
ALI who could doubt the future course
OF one who thus had spoken?
Through manhOod's struggle, gain and
loss,
Could faith like this be broken?
Gods blessing on that steadfast will,
Unyielding to another,
That bars all jeers and laughter still,
Because he promised mother.

The Oriental never does any more

respects the art Of living appears bet

our bustling Western world.
There IS now hardly fashionable
home that has not its Oriental room
or rooms, or at least its coy corner;
sometimes the latter is Japanesque in
effect, sometimes Turkish; but what
ever it is, be sure it is the result of an
