Drudgery is as necessary to call out
the treasures of the mind as harrow
ing and planting those of the earth.
Sorrows are often like clouds;
which though black when they are
passing over us, when they are past

of God thrown off in purple and gold

Sunshine warns everything it
touches. A smile tends to cheer those
upon whom it is bestowed, and is as
much needed in human affairs as the
sunshine is needed to drive bleakness
from the earth.
Our life is always deeper than we
know, is always more divine than it

The Magnolia.

The Magnolia tree is rne ofth most charm.
ing specimens of cur woodland, and without
this pretty evergreen, no ornamental garden
In this Southland is complete. The beauty
OF the form, the color and the growth OF
It's blossoms, together with the fragrance
which thev send abroad'on the perfumed ALI
could not be excelled W the widest dreams
OF scenes in the land of the fairies. 10 the
days when this editor was all ldolaior ut
Cupid's altar, The thought the magnolia bloom
was the embodiment OF all that filled the
senses, or delighted the associations, with
ideas Of the good. the beautiful, and the true.
And now in after years, as pretty little
maiden as walks the earth with queenly
grace or moves with stately step, comes to
present the flower that was so closely asGo'
ciated with the affections OF former years,
the thought Of which always prompted the
quicker beat OF the loving heart. The sweet
est associations in the life OF hupgering heart
are connected the magnolia, and If the mag
nolia should be to the little lady rs 1t has
been TO us, her own heart will issue sweetel
fragrance, aud to her own life something o
happiness will be added. For delightful
anticipations and pleasant memories. no
flower has been half so fruitful as the mag
nolia.

A Disgusted JanitOr.

The janitor in a, neighboring school
threw up his job the other day. When
asked what was the trouble he
said: II am honest and won't stand
being slurred. If find pencil or a
handkerchief about the, school when
Pm sweeping I hang or put it up.
Every little while the teacher or some
one that is too cOwardly to face me
will give me a, slur. Why, a little
while ago seen wrote on the board
Find the least common multiple.
Well, I looked from cellar to garret
for that multiple and 1 wouldn't know
the thing if I would meet it on the
street. Last night in big writin' on
the blackboard it said, Find the
greatest common divisors.' Well
says to myself: Both of them thir ::
are lost now, and I'll be accuse;
