HUMAN NATURE.
History, so says the proverb,
Has strange, peculiar way
OF recording things tomorrow
Same as it did yesterday.
Yesterday I saw an urchin
Who loud and long did cry
Just because his little sister
Had the biggest piece of pie.
And, although his piece was ample,
1t sometimes made him sore
just because his loving mother
Gave his little sister more.
Perhaps the boy behaved unwisely,
But each day you will see men
Who are acting just as foolish
As the urchin acted then.
Men forget their many blessings
As for greater ones they sigh,
And they envy other mortals
Who get bigger hunks of pie"

Sthe ancient greatness of Rome, made
himself for seven months master of that
dmperial city, and after nearly seven
pyears of exile and eXCommunication dur
Sing part Ct Wllich he was prisoner, re-
Ipeatcd the triumph, finally dying by as
assassination Oct Z, 1854. Bulwer was so
Impressed With the heroism and force of
icharacter OF his hero that at first he med
odtated writing his biography, instead OF
"a romance founded on his life. The story
fadleres very closely to the historical
sfacts. To secure accuracy and vividness
-'of setting, the novelist went to Rome to-
dive While writing it. Rienzi's contra
dictory character, and, above all, his con-
sSummate ability, and the ambitious and
rlnprincipled, yet heroic nature of his
rival, Walter de Montreal, are sldllfulIy
drawn. Among the Lesser personages,
s1rene RieIZis gentle sister and Nina,
llis regal wife with her love of the
SDoetry Of wealth and power; Irene's
-1over, Adrian di CASTILLO, the enlightened
noble; Coco del Vecchio, the sturdy
smith, and the Inflated Angelo VILLAIN,
are prominent Many of the situations
: ,and scenes are very strong. The treat
-ment is epic rather than dramatic; and
the splendid yet comfortless civilization
of the Middle Ages, so picturesque and
ESQ squaid, so ecstatic and so base, is
,ivividly delineated.

shoulders and let the hands

PLANTING HIMSELF TO GROW.
Dear little, bright-eyed Willie,
Always so full of glee,
Always SO very mschievous,
The pride of our home is he.
One bright summer day we found him
Close by the garden wall
Standing SO grave and dignified
Beside Sunfiower tall.
His tiny feet he had covered
With the moist and cooling sand;
The stalk of the great, tall Sunf1oWer
He grasper with his chubby hand.
When he saw us standing near him,
Gazing so wonderingly
At his babyship. he greeted us
With merry shout of glee.
We asked our darling what pleased him;
He replied, with a face aglow,

I've planted myself to grow"

Fit to cope with anything

But the nobler one, I'll try"
Do whateer you have TO do,
With a true and earnest zeal;
Bend your sinews to the task
PUT your shoulder to the wheel"
Though your duty may be hard.
Look not on it as an i'll;
If it be an honest task,
Do it with an honest will.
In the workshop, on the farm,
Or wherever you may be,
From your future efforts, boys,
Comes the nations destiny.
