THE MUEsMUR OF THE WORLD.
les1aoea

Ah we'll for us all some sweet hope lies Deeply buried from huma.s eyes;
 And in the hereafter the angels may Roll the stone from it's grave away.
 That little child was the spirit of kind ness; her little "dood night" was born of loves soul.
 In the twilight under the trees, with brown leaves falling down to the dust come of rainless bright days, the young girl hur- ried onward, as irresistible in her maiden way as were the six hundred in the valley of fame, She was as quaintiy beautiful some figure cut from an ancient painting and as full of life as only a young maiden may be, free from care, the world loving and by the world beloved as one reared to the music of laughter and the incense of pure happiness. She might have floated upon the languid breeze of the day that was done, softly, so airily, and so won- drous gracefully moved she on.
 She quivered in laughter and joyousness, and answering the hail of a wayfarer she was abundantly merry. Her eyes flashed with marvellous light, her face was aflame with roses, and she was intensely eXhil- dTdllllS III HeT ndiueu HIT LII uluesS. lhclo was about her something mysterious, some thing almost intangible, and as she laughed unrestrainedly she seemed a maiden to be adored. Her gown was black and It hung in wonderfully graceful folds, seeming to cling almost caressingly about the 1.-the and waving figure, trembling in it's life and joy. Through the thin black covering was dim vision of alabaster arms and shoulders and throat, and as she stood in her inno- cenee, her purity and her exquisite loveli- ness she wsas bewilderingly fascinating, this maiden of the young years and young hopes. She was quick to perceive the spell she had wrought, and gathering her gown of black about her with dreamful grace, she made a curve in the shadow with her shaded arm of perfect mould, and moving backward and bending, she in her mothers gown was gone.
 It was kindness which made all that joy possible.
 These are types All our lives are formed upon types, and our religion is the more precious because it is symbolical. Thus are we brought to the divine realities. Types and symbols of kindness are every where, for everywhere Is the God who blesses us with abundant love and good ness.
 Kind words are more than coronets and simple faith more than all the splendor of earthly greatness And kind words are so simple of speech that they flourish as white blossoms rest upon the unrippling waves of gardens that are green smiling in the sum- light of heaven. Sneak words of kindness do deeds of kindness, and all your days shall be blessed upon the earth, my beloved THE MURMURER.
