LOVE’S mouths-1v.
Were thy heart a temple, I'd attend it;
Wer’t a citadel, l’d defend it!
Or were it a. star, heaven would lend it
To light the shadow’d World.
Were it a jewel, I would conceal it;
Wear it near my heart, and never reveal it,
Lest some mighty king should see and steal it
It would be so precious!
Were it a bird, to my breast I’d press it,
And fondly with band and lips caress it!
Sit and gaze, and dole on and bless it,
And list its song for hours.
Were it a flower, ’twould be the rarest,
The most unfading, sweetest and fairest
That ever bloomed; and, being the dearest,

A Love's-’- Ruse.
In N—one of the larger French prov
in :i ll cities, during the summer of 1871, a
young Germ-an ofilca' w.ts quartered in the
house ofn rich merchant. ' M. B——(so the
merchant was calledlwns a Chauvinist of
the pure 4 water. At the beginning oftbe'
campaign he was sanguine in the helict‘that.
within four Weeks, all Germany would. be
.at the feet of the Enperor Napoleon; and
now, despite all th: reverses the French
arms had met with, from Weisseobnrg to
Paris, he was thoroughly convinCed that
Gambetta, with his newly-created army,
would soon drive the hated German in-
vaders toa than from the “sacred soil of
France. ”_ ' ‘ ‘ -
Until this ardently longed-for moment ar-
rived like the prudent man that he was, be.
paid the taxes and contributions demanded
of him by the invaders promptly, and gave
vent to his hatred for let maudr‘ts Prussian
by vilityiug Bismarck and the king of Prus-
sia in his little familycircle, and by avoid-
ing, as far as 1 ossible, Lieut. D—‘who was
quartered in his house.
Theladies of the house, his wife and
daughter, were good patriots; but their
patriotism did not prevent their finding
Lieut. D—very ' amiable and interesting.
and their allowing hint to spend a consider.
able share of his leisure hours in their
society. Mademoiselle Louis‘on, the daugll-z
for, was 18 years old and very pretty.
Lieut. D—-.vas~ live or six years older, was
an accomplished plan of society, and
thoroughly master of the French language-
Wbat was more natural than that. despite
national differences, the young people
should be drawn inward each other? The
mother, who w: .{ ivery kint‘ly disposed
toward the you}.: .cher," favoredhis suit.
and encouraged l. .~‘_smt-in-law,:that would
be, to formally as}. Louison's father for her
hand. But Papa B—declared that he
would sooner see his daughter dead than
the wife of a Prussian, rave tbe Lieutenant»
a politebut dtcided refusal, and forbade his
' wile and daughter from holding any further:
intercourse with him. The ladies were re-
quested to occupy one wing of the house,
and the servants received strict orders to‘
deny the Prussian ofilcer all communication
WhateVer with the fortress. .
About this tine the railroad accidents in
the provinces occupied by the Germans had
become so numerous that they as a means
of self-protection, compelled some promi
nent French citizens to ride on the locomo- -
live ofeacb train, in order to prevent his
countrymen from tearing up the rails of the
road, or otherwise doing it such injury as
to endanger the safety of the train, because
now the life of one of their fellow-
citlzens would be impel-tiled byan accident
as Wellas those of their enemies. The
means accomplished the desired end; rail-
road accidtnts became rare. But these
compulsory trips in mid-winter, on an open
locomotive, were very far from being
pleasure-trips; and M. B—was not a
little amazed when, within the short space
of two weeks, it was his lot to make the
journey in this manner to and frotn S-—-no
less than five times. His protestions and
remonstrances ware of no avail; the order
from the German headquarters was there
and bad to be obeyed; for centre la force ll

notified for the sixth time to hold himset‘
in readiness to make the journey again to

who replied, with a. shrug :—
“I am sorry, but I can do nothing for you,
It is certainly very strange that you should
be selected so much more frequently than
others to take this unpleasant trip. Have
you,perhaps, a para mal enemy at the Ger- ,
man headquarters t"
“I recently refused a German ofilcer, who
asked the hand of my daughter," said be
after a moment's reflection, “and denied him
'adlnissinn to thermal! y circle."
“(I’m ca ,- ” cried the Maire, laughing-
’ “That explains the mystery. Two or three
times, when you have been away I have ‘
seen Lient, D—enter your h ruse. He
evidently has sufficient influence at head-
quarters to enable him to send you on these
accursed journeys whenever he desires to
visit your daughter.”
M. B—‘s indignation knew no bounds.
“My dear friend,” continued the more
philosophic Maire, "I would advise you to
consent to your daughter’s marriage rather
than , in this cold Weather, to contract a
pneumonia by riding to and from S—on
an open locomotive.” .
M. B—threw himselfinto a chair, and
seemed for sortie minutes lost in reflection.
It was a terrible alternative—either to giVe
his daughter to a Maudie Prussian, or to
_ . endanger his own valuable life.
“How long, think you,” he asked the
Maire, “will it be before the army of the
Loire will destroy, the Germans before
Paris, and drive‘the last of them across the
Rhine ?” .
“The army of the Loire,” replied the
Liaise, “has. according, to news received
this looming, been defeated losing 10,000
prisoners."
“Impossible l”
' But be concluded that it would be wise,
under all the circumstances, to follow the
advice of his friend the Maire. Immediately
on his return from his sixth compulsory
trip to 8—. he gave his consent to his
daughter’s betrotenl with the hated Prus-
sian,_ and from that time he received no
more. orders. from the German headquarters

BEATIIENB LONG ENOUGH.
There had been a sacramental meeting at
the “poor-house,” where the “pauper dea-
‘con” had been under‘ the-cloud: for twenty-
three years. Two otherswere there. They
had come eight miles from their" mountain
home, the eldest daughterof the deacon and
her husband. She was a woman of a
queenly bearing, though thebattle'of years
with drunkenness and poverty had “marred
her.

visit, with the request that he would give‘
the notice. .
The minister was on hand for tbc'meet-

whole settlement, and was on hand to in-
troduce the minister to. his friends.

“I know that; but I must have it.”
“No, Ben, you must not have it. Now let

“You try it and see. To be sure I believe
it is so. and more too. You tell Jesus you

In a few days the pastor went back.
“Wal,” said Ben, “I’ve had a hard time

Emotional and Practlcal Religion.
Henry Ward Beecher .in his last. Suudnv’e
sermon essayed to show the difi'erence be-
tween an emotional and a practical religious
life; and his talk to his congregation whilt
eminently ‘Beecberisb yet conveyed somt
tional period. - He pictured "the exceeding-
ly pious but very disagreeable persons"
we now and then meet. Such persons may
spend hours by themselves in prayer "and
when they come out they make you wish
they had stayed longer.” They talk at
heaven and religion, yet are obstinate; no
disposed to humility, nor in sympathy with
mankind. There is more virtue, the
preacher argued, in men who maintain
even decency than in others who. are con-
sidered good christians. “Some men have
oaths actually hissing in their months at
their lives, and to suppress them there is
more credit due them than to men who
never uttered an oath in their lives or ever
thought of one.” No man is to suppose he
is not a Christian‘because he is not the sub-
ject of experiences; he who keeps the com-
mandments and is seeking daily tp do God’s
will is the Christian. It is far better to
bring the whole soul into conformity to th.
law Of God than to have any amount of
emotion. Is the most tender relation the
most emotional? A mother is ~alwsys

strations -of affection to the whole heuse-
