Innocuous Vanity.

AS gold is never put into circulation
without some alloy. SO perhaps for this
worlds use some alloy is needed in the
gold of character. The only questions are
what alloy and how much? l shall try to
answer the question as to kind and
leave to individual discretion the ques-
ton as to quantity.
A great actor once said that all men
have vanity, but some conceal it more
successfully than others. If vanity be a
universal trait, we may take it as
that alloy which is necessary to our &C
tive and circulating usefulness.
It is decried by all moralists, preached
against in all pulpits, and everywhere
believed to be as undesirable as it is
universal. Nevertheless, in youth at
least, certain degree Of it may be
necessary.
Vanity is like the kindly cloud which
shelters us from the all piercing and
too brilliant sun of truth, for it may be
doubted whether any of us can bear the
truth unveiled. The melancholy Dane
who had revealed to him unqualified
truth, both as regards this life and the
next, was not by that revelation melted
to action. Hamlet found the truth with
ering, not stimulating; it paralyzed
rather than neIved. And it may be SO
with all truth. Most Of us are ordinary
people. but happily most of us 10 not
find this out, at least not in our first
youth. -Lppincott's.

10 ONE THAT Child HIM FOR GATH
ERlNG. THE LATEST ROSES.

As tickle as an April morn,
October with his driving rain
Now smote the garden paths forlorn.
Now broke in smiles again,
Crying We tarry all too late"
Each other flower dropped her head.
But dauntless still they kept their state,
The roses white and red.
And. 'swe shall reign" they said, ''for
long"
gathered them for your delight.
MAY, then, you did them cruel wrong,
The roses red and white.
"For they had gladdened many day,
Defying still the somber time,
Amid the whirling leaves decay
Recalling summers prime"
Then 1: ''How sorrowful their lot,
Who queened it at the gardens court,
To Hnger ON when joy is not,
To be the mad winds sport;
'sTo feel their draggled petals fall,
Each after other, drenched and cold,
Till now the blast has dashed them all
Upon the chilly mold.
"A royal sepulture they crave
Refuse not thou last behest- Z.
One hour to live in beauty brave,
Then die upon thy breast.'
