HER DISCOVERY.
She thought the sun would cease to
shine
The day she heard him say good
BY;
She knelt beside the bed in tears
And wondered how in future years
The stars could dot the peaceful
sky.
\ she asked herself the day she saw
4 The clouds above her darling
thrown
? How men could laugh and women
smile =
And roses shed their fragrance, while
She waited weeping and alone.
She wondered how the streams could
flow
The breezes blow, the children
shout;
Another came ere long with signs
And then she happily found out.

WHAT EVERY GIRL SHOULD DO.
Every girl can do one thing well
If she will molly take the trouble to
find what that thing is.
The great difficulty lies in wanting
: to do something great and snowy, or
nothing at ALL
There are great talents in reach,
If one will only look, and these tai
ents may be comfort in dark hours
that will make life better and happier
both for ones self and those about
them.
This does not mean painting great
pictures, or singing in grand opera,
or writing the popular book. but it
does mean cultivating the faculty OF
saying bright things, playing light
catchy airs, acquiring the art of be
4 ing sympathetic.
The girl who puts her own griefs
as much as possible aside-who
takes wholesome interest in life
who cultivates looking for the best
in the people with whom she comes
in contacu--is happier herself and
makes about her happy.-New York
Times.

Raphael, the great Italian painter
whose celebrated Biblical pictures are
worth fabulous sums of money, was
NOT a rich man when young. He en-
countered some of the vicissitudes Of
life. like many another genius. Once
when travelling he put up at an inn
and remained there unable to get away
through lack of funds to settle his
hill The landlord grew suspicious
that such was the case, and his re-
ouests for a settlement grew more and
more pressing. Finally young Raphael
IN desperation resorted to the follow
ing device:
He carefully painted upon n table
ron I'm his room a number of gold coins,
and. placing the table in certain light
that gave a startling effect, he packed
his few belongings and summoned his
host.
"Tbere," he exclaimed, with lord
" wave of his hand toward the table,

Now kindly show the way to the door. u
The innkeeper, with many smiles and
bows. ushered his guest out and then
hastened back to gather up his gold

discovered the fraud knew no bounds
