THE GIRL WHO SMILES.

The wind was East and the chimney
:, smoked,
For nobody smiled and nobody Joked;
The young folks grumbled, the old folks
cr0aked;
Then opened the door and a girl came in F.;
Oh, she was homely-very!
Her nose was pug, and her cheek was thin,
There wasn't a dimple from brow to chin,
But her smile was bright and CHEEKY.
She spoke no word of the cold and damp
Nor yet of the gloom about her,,
But she mended the fire, and lighted the
lamp,
And she put on the place different stamp
From that it had without her.
Her dress, which was something in sober
And with dampness nearly dripping,
She changed for bright, warm, crimson
gown;
They forgot the air was nipping;
They forgot that the house was dull old
place,
And smoky from base to rafter,
AS they felt the charm of her mirthful
grace
And the cheer of her happy laughter.
Oh, give me the girl who will smile and sing,
And make ali glad together
To be plain or fair is lesser thing,
But a kind, unseltish heart can bring
Good cheer in the darkest weather.

THE WINDY DAY.

Oh, the windy day is laughing day!
For the wind is funny fellow;
He rOllicks and shouts when skies are
gray
And leaves are turning yellow.
The pines, a moment ago so still,
Fling out their arms and laugh with will,
Nodding their heads as who should say,
"The old wind has an amusing way"
Oh, the windy day is singing day!
For the wind is minstrel, StrOlling
Thro' field and wood, with CHEEKY lay.
Insistent, sweet, cajoling:
The strings of his harp are pine and oak.
AS he chants his tale to the woodland folk -
All, jewellers of old are they
When the minstrel wind begins to play!
Oh, the windy day is the vagrant's day!
For the wind is a cOmrade rover,
Whistling down the great highway
To every hill-road lover:
And whether he whistles or laughs or sings.
Through every vagrant heart there rings
The impelling, word-old call to stray
With the cOmrade wind for ever and aye.

March.

The Misses at School.

There was once a school
Where the mistress, Miss Rule,
Taught number OF misses that veXed her
Miss Chief was the lass
At the head of the class,
And young Miss Demeanor was next her.
Poor little Miss Hap
Spilled the ink in her lap,
And Miss Fortune fell under the table;
Miss Conduct they ali
Did Miss Creant call,
But Miss State declared this was fable.
Miss Lay lost her book,
And Miss Lead undertook
TO show her the place where to find it
But upon the wrong nail
Had Miss Place hung her veil,
And Miss Deed hid the book safe behind it.
They went on very we'll,
AS | have heard tell,
Till Miss Take brought in Miss Understand
ing;
Miss Conjecture then guessed
Evil things of the rest,
And Miss Counsel advised their disbanding.

Mrs. Searsport to Mrs. Stockton.

Do not laugh so, Mrs. Stockton,
Do not try to be so swell,
Be not lacking in your manners,
And treat your neighb0rs well.
Do not think because the railroad
Is coming to your town,
That you must hold your head up,
And put your neighbors down.
A fine old lady is Mrs. Searsport;
She can hold her head up, too;
She has never asked for favorS
That were not her due.
Mrs. Searsport is not envious
OF the putting of your town,
But you seem to claim her honors
In the swelling of your own.
Oh, don't imagine, Mrs. Stockton,
That Mrs. Belfast cares
If you laugh and sheer at her
When You ought to say your prayers.
Mrs. Belfast's home is pretty,
No matter what you say,
And the scene is lovely
All along the bay.
Now we hope, dear Mrs. Stockton,
With your crowded streets and shore,
You have gained up just little,
You were rather thin before.
Don't despair, dear Mrs Stockton,
If you want their friendship true,
Love your neighbors as yourself,
And they surely will love you.
