To J. B. W***.
Hail ! O hail ! to the hero of my song,
Living “up to his eyes in the clover,”
Even though the wintry winds be strong,
And the sweet summer days all be over.
For he smiles on the fair, each sunny day
And he seems thus to drive dull care av'vay;
With his gay merry laugh, and laughing eye,
And there’s more than all thistwixt you and I.
Takes he not our choice from the Charming
girls? - . .
Whether we poor gents say yes, or nay sir.
Who with Witching glance, and bewitching
curls,
Olt had vowed to be“, our only treasure. .
But he drives with his‘robes and fancy gloves,
And the twain may nestle like tu‘rtle doves
In the west—so joyous and fond they be";
So merry and cheerful, and full of glee.
Our hearts be sad, yet' we hail this hero,
While we trust his probation soon over;
We shall shine with anew and bright halo-
And our girls will forget the old rover;
And come back to our hearts in faith and love:
Unsurpassed by aught save that trust above
All human faith; and all temptings and fear 3;
Which never may know of changes and tears":

I will tell you when. they met .
In the limpid days of spring ;
Elder boughs were budding yet,
Oaken boughs looked wintry still,
But primrose and valued violet
In the mossfnl turf were set,
While the mating birds made haste to sing
And build with right good-will. ,-
I will tell you when .they pafid:
When plenteous autumn sheaves, were
brown, I
Then they parted heavy -hearted ;
The full rejoicing sun looked down
As grand as in the days before ;
Only they had lost a crown ;
Only to them those days of yore
Could come back neverrnore.
When shall they meet ? I cannot tell,
Indeed, when they shall meet again,
Except some day in parodies:
For this they wait, one waits in pain.
'Beyond the sea of death love lies
Forever, yesterday, to-day:
Angels shall ask them, “Is it well,?”
And they shall answer, “Yea.” '

' The beautiful light whose golden Irays on
Christmas morning gle‘ame'd in many aéheer-
fol happy Eastern home, mine for West fell
.upon eyes weary with watching andweep—
ing and hearts saddened by bereavement,
and in the still chamber of death, upon a
young form from which the spirit had fled.
The rays of light crept in through the case-
ment and kissed the closed eyes and immova-
able lips.
Far out beyond the limits of vision, the
beautiful light of the Sun of Righteousness fell
softly, loving, on the freed young spirit that
was joyfully tracing its glorious way up to
its Home of Bliss, that Christmas morning.
The coffin, the shroud, the clay-cold form,
weeping and sorrow, and the Imournful
thought. Farewell! Farewell! in the earth-
ly dwelling. A crown of glory, a garment of
the Redeemer’s righteousness, a palm bf vie-
tory, a ransomed spirit, and the melody of
. angel voices floating the welcome, “Come in
thou blessed of the Lord” in the Heavenly
dwelling. ‘

to see her in the spring time, passing on to

\ ‘ Horrors, boys i guess what’s the news
this morning? It’s jolly, . I tell you,”
shouted Harry Gray, as two or three of
the boys of Dr. Arnot’s school entered.
the breakfast-room. one morning. As no '
one ' seemed very much .exhilarated by
this announcement, Harry rattled on :
‘Come, sleepy-beads, shake up your
wife i just give a good clever goess.’
‘ Abraham Lincoln has got a new hat,’
ventured one. . ‘
‘ Humph i got a new idea to put nu-
der his old one,’ granted another.
‘ No sir ; guess again.’ .
‘ The Dutchhave taken Holland,’ .said
Sammy Jones, who was famous for old
jokes. -‘ ._
‘ I’d like to know where they would

'n‘Why', Jimmy, that would make the
Atlantic rise and submerge North Amer-
ica ; then what should We do ?’
‘ We 2? .We would go swimming up in
the garret.’ said one. _ ,
“Yes, and Sammy Jones would get
water on the brain, and that would wet
all his old dry jokes, and he would be
ruined for life.’ ' ' -

disgusted. He looks handsome when he
feels so, don’t heZ’ retorted Harry, the
quick blood mounting up in his cheeks.
Banks turned quite pale with rage at
Harry’s taunt, but he did not blaster, or
.storm ; he only muttered between his shut
. .
teeth : _
‘ Hold your insolent, stupid tongue.’
' ‘Sorry to say I can’t- oblige you in that
particular,’ said Harry, with a flourish-
ing bow of mock humility. ' I think 'a
good deal of free speech myself, and I
don’t expect‘to be extinguished just yet.’
‘Take that, then,’ said Banks, giving
him a contemptuous little kick.
Quick as a flash, Harry clenched. his
fist and planted a firm blow between
Fred’s eyes. ' .
‘Hush upl keep still, boys, there is
Dr. Arnot on the walk,’ broke in the
other boys, separating the‘ combatants as
they spoke. . _
‘ We'll finish it up after school back of
the grove,’ said Harry, and he clenched
his fist again, and gave an endearinglook
at its sturdy knuckles, as he thought what
a good‘blow it would fetch.
‘It won't take much to finish you;
your courage will all ooze out before that
time,’ ‘Was the‘angry retort.
The entrance of Dr. Arnot put an end
to the dispute.
‘What’s the trouble, boys ?’ said be,
looking gravely round on the excited
group. .
None seemed inclined to answer.

‘I teased Fred Banks, and would ~ not-
give him the paper, or tell him the news.
He was vexed and we—well, we had
some high words.’ I
‘ And you had just got to the point of
blows as I' came in ‘Z’
ers, sir.’ ~ ‘
Harry winced a little who made this
acknowledgement, though he was not
usually ashamedof his fighting abilities ;
in fact, he was a little proud of them’.
Still, asbg met Dr, Arnot’s calm gaze,
he felt hot and flustéred, .arm on the
whole, not veryilheroic. He only , wished
the Doctor could have known how: pro:
:‘voking and in'soleut Fred was. . "

he had also a 'love of authority, ‘which
made leadership his forte ;‘ but he Was of:

{It'was poor pelicygfor any boy to get

spite of his faults—and he had enough of
' them—he had plenty of good friends.

The doctor’s voice had a stirring ring
in it, as he uttered these words, and the‘
boys—as boys always do——-know the ring
of true metal.’ They knew they were the
words of a good, true man, a man of un-
dauntcd courage, a man who never flinch-
ed from duty, and who was srrong and
calm because he was upright.
‘ ‘I declare, I believe the master is
about right, and I mean to try it,’
theiight many a boy to himself.
‘ Well, I say,’ soiiloquized Harry
Grey, ‘ what a miserable flash temper I
have got, and how it does whcedle me
around ; it is always running me off the
truck, and smashing me up ; and before
I know anything where I am, why, I
am nowhere. I can't make any calcu1a~
tions on myself. N ow, who would have
believed that I would have been caught
fighting in the dining room,- before
breakfast this morning. I am always do-
ing wrong, and feeling sorry for it-first
one, then the other—«intermittent, like
chills and fever out West. Now, if I
could get chronic repentance, something
that would last—that would be a good
thing for my father’s only son.
‘Somehow, the doctor made it look
grand and strong, this getting up above
yourself, and I suppose it comes easy
enough to a gray-haired man, who has
been used to it for years and years ; but
it’s a hard thing to start, specially when
a fellow has a half finished fight on hand.
