LITTLE THINGS.
[By Mrs. Mary Tenton. ]


1t was only little thing for Nell
To brighten the kitchen fire,
To spread the cloth, TO draw the tea.
As her mother might desire
A little thing; but her mother smiled,
And banished all her care,
And a day that was sad
Closed bright and glad
With a song Of praise and prayer.
Twas only little thing to do
For sturdy lad like Ned
To groom the horse, to milk the COW,
And bring the wood from the shed;
But his father was glad TO find at night
The chores were all well done.
Il am thankful" said he,
las | can be
For the gift OF such a SON.
Only small things, but they brighten
the life
Or shadow it with care:
But little things, but they mold a life
For joy or sad despair;
But little things, yet life's best prize,
The reward which labor brings
Comes to him who uses,
And not abuses,
The power OF little things.

THE LITTLE OLD SHOE.

1t is only a tiny shoe
That She touches with tender care
A cunning little bit of thing
That baby used to wear,
And she gently raises it to her lips
And lovingly holds it there.
1t is worn and faded and old,
But it brings up the happy past;
She sadly sights as she thinks of the
joys
That were to sweet to last.
In fancy she sees little child,
AS it gambols upon the floor;
An elf-like creature with golden hair
Is cooling baby song once more,
And tear drops down on the tiny shoe
That the beautiful dream child
wore.
"Ah, well!' she signs to herself,
81 am cursed by the wilful fates;
l used to be able to wear this shoe,
But now l take number Fights"

Two Archbishops.

The archbishop of Canterbury is
primate of all England, and therefore
takes precedence OF the archbishop OF
York, who is only ''primate of Eng
land" This very nice distinction was
made several centuries ago on account
of very bitter dispute arising between
the two functionaries as to which should
precede the other The matter was set
tied by comforting precedence upon the
archbishop of Canterbury, the two titles
being also bestowed at the same time.

WAIVERS Tobacco Order
Hurts.

New York, June 9-Mr. Krohn,
secretary of the National Association
of Cigar Makers, sent to Secretary
Olney to day letter with reference
to the tobacco embargo laid upon
Cuba by Gen Weyler. The com
munication ahirms that if the existing
contracts for the delivery Of leaf TO-
bacco purchased on the island OF
Cuba cannot be enforced enormous
pecuniary losses will rsult and great
hardship entailed upon many thou
sands of employees in the United
States.
An appeal is also made to the
Secretary of State for protection, and
it is requested that such action be
taken for the conservation OF the
important interests OF American
citizens involved as may, under the
circumstances, seem proper.

if this platform were adopted By the
