Unless we are capable of being
true friends ourselves it is impossi-
BILE to have true friends. 1t is only
selfish to imagine true friends
should be ours when we do not
make ourselves worthy of their
friendship.
Just as the wayside wild flower
very often eXhales rarer fragrance
than the more beautiful dollhouse
flower, so, too, very often the little
things of life cast more sweetness
into it than the greater one. A
pleasant greeting; a few timely
words of cOngratulatiOn or SYM
pathy; few flowers sent to the sick
or distressed, and desire to make
Others feel the kindly helpfulness
and cheerfulness of ones company,
are the little, common, everyday
things which not only gain friends
but make one truly loved. A
thoughtful, refined mind is never
ObliviOus to the feelings of others,
but, on the contrary, is ever solicit
Gus to make them happy. Such a
mind is dOubly repaid in its own
beautiful, priceless possession.
Beautiful characters are acquired,
not by life dealing more kindly with
them, but in their dealing more
kindly with life. There is an old
saying: Life is what we ourselves
make it," If we are easily dissatis-
fed and always on the alert for
Sights; if we deem kind words
valueless, and cultivate hauteur, it
is not surprising that happiness
should hold itself aloOf from us, and
that our society be neither sought
for nor desired"
In making friends, kind words are
worth much and they cost little.
They prevent great deal of that
perverseness which censOriOus usage
often produces in otherwise gener-
Gus minds. Goethe says: kind
ness is the golden chain by which
society is bound together" and
Lamartine tells us: kindness is
virtue ITSELF
True friendship is born from true
character. He or she who is true to
self is true to everybody. Those
who prove themselves to be always
loyal, always true, frank and up
right toward us, yet kind-not afraid
to compliment us and not afraid to
reprOve us for our own good-are
what Alcott beautifully terms them
1.-The leaders of the bosom, being
more ourselves than we are, and the
complement of our affections in
theirs"
Love is the synonym of God, and
friendship is so closely akin to it
that love clothes it in its own
beauty. If we were more earnest in
exercising the true spirit of religion,
true friendship would not be such a
rare thing and the world would be
made the brighter and truer,-Julia
Teresa Butler.

care not to gaze at the years coming
on,
mathematical in mist and with
doubts overcast,
But would rather stray back to the days
that are gone,
Along the green lanes of the past
Across the cool meadows of memory,
where
The birds ever sing, and the wild
waters fall,
And the laughter of children is borne
on the air,
And love shineth over it all.
The painter may picture the future in
dyes
That rival the rose and the rainbow,
1t NAV leave him at last but a guerdon
Of signs,
And hope that it failed to fulfill;
The poet my sing OF the splendors
supreme
OF the opulent ages, far-coming and
vast
I question him not, yet l ask but to
dream
on the old quiet hills of the past.
The past is my own--there is nothing
uncertain
In all its wide range, and my title is
clear
While the future, at best, is face on
the curtain,
That fades as my feet draweth near;
Then give me the blossoms, the birds
and the bowers,
And every loved scene where my soul
clingeth fast,
Like an evergreen ivy that mantles
the towers
And feeds on the dews Of the past.

BEYOND MY RE ACH.

1t was peeping through the bramble-
That little wild white rose
Where the hawthorn hedge was planted
My garden to inclOse:
All beyond was fern and heather;
All within was sun and shelter,
And the weather of beauty's store;
But did not heed the fragrance
OF flOweret or Of tree,
For my eyes were on the rosebud,
And it grew too high for me.
In vain strOve to reach it
Through the tangled mass of green
It-enly smiled and nodded
Behind its thorny screen:
Yet through that summer morning
| fingered near the spot.
Oh! why do things seem sweeter
If we possess them not?
My garden buds were blooming,
But all that | could see
Was that little hooking white rose
That grew too high for me.
So, in lfe's wider garden
There are buds of promise, too,
Beyond our reach to gather
But not beyond our view;
And, like the little charmer
That tempted me astray,
They steal out half the brightness
OF many summer day.
Oh, hearts that fall with longing
For some forbidden tree,
Look up, and learn a lesson
From my white rose and me!
IT'S wiser far to number
The blessings at my feet
Than ever to be signing
For just one bud more sweet.
My sunbeams and my shadows
Fall from a pierced hand
can surely trust His wisdom,
Since His heart / understand.
And maybe, in the morning,
When His blessed face | see,
He will tell me why my white rose
Grew just too high for me.
