=. June, with sunshine in her eyes,
Passed her hand across the skies,
Then, with archly smiling lips,
Blew upon her fnger-tips.
Soon the air grew wondrous sweet,
Overhead, and under feet,
Under feet, and overhead.
Trooped the roses, white and red;
Trooped the roses-crimson, white,
Pink and yellow, pale and bright
Till they perfumed earth and air,
Roses, roses, everywhere.
Wearied then, she shook her head,
: And the petals, white and red,
All the petals-crtmson, white,
Pink and yellow, pale and bright,
Fluttered slowly, softly down
To the border Of her gown.
Half dismayed to see them fall,
Quick she turned to leave them all,
Looking back to say good-by,
She met the warm glance Of July. -.

They That Sow Must Reap.

Our deeds lave an unacceptable reflex In.
fuence; what we do helps to make US VIVA,
we are. All our activities both manifest
character and shape character; deeds are
never trivial. You think, perhaps, that you
may do many things now which you will not
do by-and-by, and that these will have no
permanent result in your future condition.
1t is q dangerous mistake. Many q young
mar INDUCES himself in sowing wild
OATS" and forgets that every sowing has
its harvest. They that SOW the wind reap
the whirlwind. The sins Of youth are the
seeds OF many a grievous harvest reaped In
old age with remorse and %unavailing tears.

said he. "You have copied this landscape
from a picture that was itself an imperfect
COPY, with the result that all its errors are
REPRODUCED and magniled. Go out into
nature and paint directly from your OWE
landscape Or, If you must copy. copy
from a masterpiece. Anything else is not
worth while" Yes; and, young Christian,
do not pattern your life after the life Of
some one else, who at best is only an imita'
ton OF the perfect One. Initiate for your.
self the only life that Is worth initiating
