MY TREASURE.

I have hidden away from the light Of day
A treasure ! sacred hold;
And 1t flashes not with the diamonds ray,
And it is not yellow gold;
And 1t is not beryl, nor sapphire rare
AS blue as the tropic sea
This treasure, guarded with love and care,
Is worthless to all but mel
It Is not the ghost Of rosebud pale,
Or of rose full-blown and red;
Nor violet plucked in some messy dale,
With its fragrant sweetness fed.
FTis no leaf by lovers touch made dear ;
For me 1t has memories none
OF that springtime of joy and hope and
fear
When my heart was lost and won.
But It brings me the sound of baby feet,
And the lisp Of a silent voice.
And the small moist hands that my own
hands meet
Make my empty heart rejoice.
In the holy calm, when the bright stars
shine
The deepening azure through,
There Is kiss Of mine, there Is tear Of
mine
! For my treasure-a baby's shoe.

Gratitude.

Probably we are none Of us as CRATE
full for life's blessings as we should
be.
Gratitude, like faith, hope and char
ity must be cultivated as we should de-
velop without attention.
Every one will discover, If he looks
for it, more reason in his life for graft
tude than he ever dreamed Of.
In cataloguing your blessings give
due emphasis to the spiritual. If you
undervalue any, let it be the temporal.
We ought to be grateful for many
things which awaken no response in
our souls. Are you grateful for hard
things, for big loads, for arduous du-
ties? Have you ever learned to say,
II glory in tribulations also|-Pres-
byterian Journal.

mistake. This letter will make its
point, and still leave them good-na-

Mrs. Hardie looked doubtful. II
seemed 10 her that the occasion re.
quired plain talk. Time went by, and
nothing happened. Her husband tele-
phoned numerous tactfui messages to
the installment bureau, and still moth
ing happened. At last, however, after
three weeks Of gentle perseverance, he
obtained results.

petent man out to-day" he told bis
wife one morning. "Now before he
does a thing you have him call me up.
l want to talk to him myself"
The man came, and Mrs. Hardie
obeyed orders implicitly. That night
she met her husband with beaming
face. Hes fixed everything as we
wanted 1t, Lewis" she announced. "He
took my orders like lamb. Whatever

that. Then 1 told him conhdentially
that the other fellow they sent out

DR.. Hardie backed weakly against
the door. "Well," he admitted, after
sheepish pause, Il thought l was
being tactful all right, but what real
" did was to call him string OF
names as long as your arm"

Early In the morning thequiet street

laid In readiness for the market and
