I.IRIETIES.

"A Maine paper tells of a farmer in
that state who hired two boys to help
him cut his hay, and when the job
was finished gave each of them cent
for the work they had performed, and
then offered to harness his team and
haul the boys home for cent apiece.
A man in Gainesville, Ga, pur-
chased the gallows on which a man
was hanged and built a hennery of
the lumber. He has never had a
chicken stolen from it, and it is said
that the colored brother won't go
within block of it if he can possibly
avoid doing so.
-Lady-No, l can't give such a
dirty looking man anything to eat.
Tramp-rm not so dirty looking but
what de lady next door was kind
enough to give me u piece of cake.
Lady-Oh, please come in, I'm anx-
ious to know whether her cake is as
good as mine.
DO not expect too much from
others, but remember that all have
an evil nature, whose development
we must expect, and that we should
forbear and forgive, as we often de-
sire forbearance and forgiveness our
selves.
None are SO fond of secrets as
those who do not mean to keep them;
such persons cOvet secrets as a spend
thrift does money, for the purpose Of
circulation.

GOING BiCH TO SCHOOI.
\ merry tramp of little feet,
just hear the sweet vibration;
The children over all the land
Have had Il long vacation,
Aud back again they haste TO lake
In SchOo! the dear Old places,
To measure out the days 10y i'utc,
With fair, unshadOwed faces.
They troop along the city streets.
GraveCycS grow young thar see them,
\ nd wiStTul hearts from every blight
a.! sin and pain would free them.
Athwart the dusty ways of change,
With watts Of flowers and grasses, ,--
As if 10 music sweet and strange,
The brilliant army passes.
Along the quiet country roads,
BY purple aSterS bOrdered,
AT nine clock and half-paSt three,
The gay reviews are ordered:
And childish voices, clear and Shrill,
Amaze the pccping thrusEeS,
The wreDS and the orioles,
Housekeeping in the bushes.
We older people like to watch
Our little lads and lasses,
As Sturdily they set to work
In sober ranks and classes;
Such happy brOws are overbCEt
10 con the pictured pages,
Such earnest wills are wrestling with
The story of the ages
And sometimes signing as we gaZt-
So fast the BARNS are growing
We think of darker skies To come
For these, so glad and glowing.
Fain would we keep the children still
Brown checked and biIthe and rudy,
With nothing harder in their lives
Than days of task and study.
But God our Fathers wiser love,
Prepares them for the evil;
This army yet shall wage the war
With world and flesh and devil.
God bless them in the coming years,
And guard the waiting places
Which, by and by, He'Il bid them fill
His smile upon their faces.
