WHEN you SING.

Sing song of gladness,
Set to a merry measure
A sweet refrain to Danish pain
And I'LL the heart with pleasure.
Sing song of brightness.
Hopes pathway to illume-
A melOdious lay to flood the day
With sunshine, birds and bloom.
Sing song of kindness
Whose pleasant tones and mellow
VIII win the ear and speak good cheer.
To some misguided fellow.
Sing melody love,
To awake and glad the hours
OF weary lives, as spring revives
The earth with tuneful showers.
But sing no mournful ditty
Breathing of grief and woe,
For Of sorrow and care all have their
share,
And want not more to know.

THE GATE AND GATE-Posr.

\ gate and the post that it latched
to could not get along peacefully tc-
gether. The gate swagged somewhat,
and the post, instead of leaning back a
little to accommodate If seemed purpose
ly to lean forward. Asa consequence,
there was Difficult y whenever they met.
The gate accused the post of getting
In the way, and the post charged the
gate with striking against it. Things
remained in this unhappy conGtion
for long while, and very often the gate
might be seen swinging back and forth
in the wind, unable to latch itself, while
The post showed ugly scars on either
side, which were growing uglier and
deeper every day. Neither seemed will
ing to yield or to make the first move
ment towards reconciliation.
AT length, on gusty morning, af-
ter squall had banged the gate against
the post with unusual violence, the
latter said: "You needn't think I'm
going to give in. That last blow did
you as much damage as it did me.''
II don't want you to give in," re-
piled the gate; TALL 1 ask is that you
lean back little, SO I can swing free
and fasten my latch as I used to do. -
ITS your own fault that you cannot
do it STILL" said the post; "you began
to swag and bear down on me, and
then, of course, I began to butt against
you." "Well, now," replied the gate,
Though l don't agree to all you say,
am willing to admit this much-that
there may be faults on both sides. But
here we are together, and here we've
got to stay. l can't 60 off to look for
another post and you can't go and
hunt up another gate. Why can't we
try and get along as we did at first?
Pm sure We were a great deal more
comfortable then."
"A .reed," said the post; Pm as
tired of it as you are. Let us from
this time do all we can to keep out of
each others way.''
AS this conversation took place in
the early spring, when the ground was
freezing and thawing lmost every day,
the two had the best possible chance
of carrying out their good resolutions;
and by the help of wind and rain, with
an honest purpose on both sides, their
efforts at last were crowned with sue
cess. Then all was pleasant and serene
again. The gate swung free, the latch
caught on the post without fail, and
they upheld and supported each other,
without either trespassiDg on the
others lights. But after this tranquil
state of things had lasted for some
time, one day the latch in passing. left
a slight scratch on the posts fresh
paint. at once there was scolding and
fauli-fnding on both sides. 1t was
only scratch, to be sure, and neither
seemed disposed to make it any more;
but, on the other hand, neither would
recede enough to make ft any less.
And so after they had overcome far
greater difficulties, and proven that
peace and harmony were attainable,
hey sacrificed them both because they
could not overlook very small
offence. The consequence was that
liscOrd reappeared between them.
When last saw them, they were still
giving each other mot at all times, but
very now and then, when the wind
