TWO SONGS OF THE SEASON.
In the breathing bud and tho opening

In the breathing bud and the openin8
flower.
I see thy forms DER the parting earth,
In the tender shoots of the grassy blade
In the thousand plants that spring to BIRTH
On the valleys side in the home OF shadA
I feel thy promise in all my veins.
They bound with a feeling long sup.
pressed.
And, like a captive who breaks his chains.
Leap the glad hopes in my heaving breast.
Spring!
Thou hast no tidings Of gloom and deathS
But buds thou shakest from every wing.
And sweets thou breathest with every
breath.

Roberts Bravery.

In the heat of passion Robert
had done something that he was
ashamed of and sorry for after the
excitement had passed away.
Il wish l hadn't let my temper
get away with my good sense" he
said; "but it's done, and what S
done can't be undonc."
But isn't there a way to over
come the effect Of wrong doing to a
great eXtent:" asked voice in his
heart.
"How.' asked Robert.
BY owning to ones blame in
the matter,' answered the voice.
"Confessing ones fault does much
to set wrong right. Try it,"
Now Robert was very much like
all the rest of us-he hated to ad-
nit that lie was in fault. "I'm
wrong; forgive me-" is a hard
thing to say. But the more he
thought the matter over, the more
he felt he ought to say just that.
Its the right thing to do,' he
told himself. "If I know what S
right and dc Mt do it, Pm moral
coward. I'll do it,"
So lie went to the one he had
wrongcd and confessed his fault
frankly, and the result was that the
two boys were better friends than
before, and his comrade had a
greater respect for him because he
had been brave enough to do a
disagreeable thing when it was
presented to him in the light of a
duty.
My boys, remember that there s
quite as mitch bravery in doing
right for rights sake as there is in
the performance of grand and he
roic deeds that the world will hear
about. IN. Y. Observer.

The Size Of the Moon.

Astronomers tell us that the di-
ametcr Of the moon is about 2,I01
miles, or about one-fourth that of
the earth. Its mean distance from
the earth's surface is about 233,I9o
miles, or nearly ten times the dis
tance around the world. The real
size Of the moon can only be de-
termined by a competent scientist,
but anyone can tell how big it
looks to him and it is surprising
what a difference there is among
people in this respect.
When it is just coming up and is
viewed through trees or between
buildings its apparent size is much
larger than when it is directly
overhead.
TO some it never looks larger
than small dinner plate, while TO
others it never looks smaller than
a large wagon wheel about five
feet in diameter while to most
persons it seems to be about fifteen
inches across. It will be interest
ing for you to make inquiries
among your acquaintances and
learn what different ideas they
have as to the size of the glorious
orb of the night. The differences
are due more to the judgment than
to kecnncss of eyesight.

Upon showery night and still,
Without sound Of warning,
A trooper band surprised the hill,
And held it in the morning.
We were not walked by bugle.notes,
No cheer our dreams invaded;
And yet, at dawn, their yellow coats
On the green slopes paraded.
We careless folk the deed forgot;
Till one day, idly walking,
We marked upon the self.same spot
A crowd of veterans talking.
They shook their trembling heads ant
With pride and noiseless laughter;
When, we'll a-day !. they blew away,
And ne'er were heard of after

No Use for q Bribe.

A good lesson was once taught
the giver Of bribc. The Youth S
Companion has told the story thus:
Colonel Ludlow, who was chief
Of the water department of a large
city, one day received a call from 4
wealthy manufacturer, whose estab-
lishment had many favors to ask of
the department. Before this man
made his request lie handed the
colonel a fifty-dollar bill, which the
colonel laid upon the desk before
him, without saying a word. When
his visitor rose to go, however, lie
inquired:
"Now, my dear sir, what is This
for?' holding up the bill.
"Oh, that's to buy cigars for the
boysn
Yes; then I suppose you are
fond Of the weed?"
The manufacturer acknowledged
that he did like a good cigar.
Then allow me-" said the chief,
in his most genial manner, "to in.
sist upon your trying one of these. "
He took two cigars from a box
lighted his own with the fifty-dollar
bill and passed the burning paper
to his amazed visitor. The man
said nothing, but he never made a
second attempt to bribe Colonel
Ludlow. E.

Pure and Manly.

General Robert L. Lee was 4
thoughtful boy, for his mother had
taught him to practice self denial
and self control, and to be ccono-
mical i'll expcnding money. His
fathers death, when the boy was
but eleven years Of age, made him
Il "littlc man, He did the mark
citing, managed out door affairs
and looked after the comfort Of his
invalid mother. As soon rs school
had closed for the noon recess, he
rushed away from the frolcksomc
boys, and hurried home to arrange
for his mothers daily ride. Young
rs he was, he carried her to the
carriage arranged the cushions, and
seating himself by her side, tried
to entertain her, gravely reminding
her that the ride would fail to BEN
eft her unless she was cheerful.
"Robcrt is both son and Il
daughter to me-" the mother used
to say.
lie was the most methodical of
managers, and the ncatcst Of house
keepers. Unlike many boys, he
did not think it beneath him to
attend to details, or TO do little
things with rs much carcfulncss us
if they were large. While study
ing comic sections, he drew the di-
agrams on a slate. Tho he knew
the one he was drawing would be
rubbed out to make room for an
other, he drew it with as much ac-
curacy and ncatncss as if it were to
| be engraved.
After his return from the Mexi-
can war, his wife on opening his
trunk found in it every article Of
clothing he had taken with him,
and Il bottle of brandy, which had
been put in for medicinal use, un-
opened.
He never drank brandy or whis-
key and rarely Il glass Of wine, and
he never used tobacco. To apnre-
bend the meaning Of this fact, and
its powerful illustration Of the lads
self control, one must recall the
rollicking life and drinking Gus
toms of Virginia during General
Lees boyhood and youth.
During school vacation he was
q guest in country house, where
the host, a fascinating gentleman
Of culture, lived gay, wild life.
oung Robert, who had been
trained to self control and self de-
NAL, was shocked. He made no
comment on what he saw, but he
refused to join in the revel'
The unspoken rebuke bl ,;5ht to
his bedside, the night before his
departure, the penitent host. The
youths abstinence had shamed
him, and he, a man of the world,
came TO confess to his youthful
guest sorrow for the wild life he
was leading.
Earnestly he warned him to be-
ware of acquiring drinking habits,
and urged him to persist in his
temperate course Of life. On leav-
ing him the host promised he would
try to reform.
Yet this methodical, self con-
trolIcd, affcctionate, serviceable
boy was no "goody." He was the
son of "Light-IIorsc Harry" of
the Revolution, and inherited his
fathers martial spirit. He chose
the army for his profession, and
friends and relatives approved the
choice.
