CHANGE.
An endless panorama are life’s scenes,
Varied with ev’ry shade of grief and joy;
So rapid in its changes, that the eye
Ere it hath time to shed a feeling tear,
O'er the dark portraiture of adverse fate,
Is dazzl’d by the pageantry of wealth
Or sees the marshaled hosts proudly array’d
To celebrate a nation’s victory ;
‘Ere nature’s silv’ry lamps hath gone its
_ round, ,
- 'T’ habiliments of woe have been displac’d,
~By floating banners, to the summit rais'd,
Emblems of joyous hearts, and memories.
The wails of homeless ones, escap’d with
life
Alone, from the devouring flame, are hush’d
By the triumphant shouts of patriots.
Events, propitious and calamitous,
So often jostle in the march of life,
‘ That mind is sway’d, and finds it difiicult
.To keep its proper equipoise; and longs,
(If it doth long nright) for promis’d scenes
Of permanence; where the vicissitudes,
Which mark this restless state shall have an
end ;

Where an unwav’ring stream of sacred joy,
Shall waft it onward thro' eternity.

TERESINA’S PRIZE.

Pausilipo is a suburb of Naples, stretching
along the Western side of the beautiful bay
about which so much has been said and writ-
ten. Along the steep banks that descend ab-
ruptly to the see are many charming villas
facing directly on the water, and reached
from the main road by zigzag paths through
gardens rich in all the luxuriant growth of
southern Italy. With the deep blue water

washing the rocks upon which these houses
stand, and beyond the sea, the mountains be-
hind Sorento, Castellamare and Vico stand-
ing out in bold outline,with Vesuvius rearing
his head solemn and threatening to the left—-
there is here to be'fouud about as fine a view
as the heart of man could desire. And when
the eye, as it is apt to do, tires of these
grander beauties, it is only necessary to turn
around to regale one’s senses with the soft
greens of the fig tree, olive, chestnut and
lemon, the odors of the orange blossomsand
roses, and the varied hues of the many fiow-
era with which nature supplies this land with
so liberal a hand,

In one of the prettiest of these villas lived
an English family; and at the time of the
present story some tender passages were tak-
ing place between the eldest daughter of the
house and Lord Ardley, whose yacht was in
the harbor at Santa Lucia, whence it was his
frequent custom to sail across in the dingey,
when the wind was favorable, both as a short
cut, and to avoid the dust, jolting and evil
odors along the Chiaja. The usual companion
of these journeys was a lad of eighteen, an
Englishman who, some few years previously.
had been cast adrift at Naples by one of those
strange chances which are liable to befall a
young sailor who finds himself with a brutal
captain and a drunken crew. After many
shifts and much misery,by dint of sheer hon-
esty and industry—virtues at a considerable
premium in this city—and aided by a quick
intelligence, he had acquired a fair knowl-
edge of the language, and a decent position
as guide, courier or commissionaire. as occa-
sion offered. His name was Frank Lloyd.
Lord Ardley had taken a fancy to him, and
attached him to his special service during his
stay in the neighborhood, finding him both
useful and discreet.

Now it happened that adjoining the villa
Santangcio was an untenanted house. placed
under the care of a gardener, named Baldelli,
who occupied a small house close to the
water’s edge, which served for bathing apart.
ments when the main building was tenanted.
With old Baldelli lived his niece Teresina,an
exceptionally beautiful girl of fifteen,who had
rather a hard time of it to make things com-
fortable for her surly and avaricious uncle,
to whom the expenditure of every soldo for
household necessities was an agony. Teresi-
na was a great, favorite at the villa, where
she was often required to assist the ladies
with her needle; and there some of her hap-
piest days were spent, much indeed to her
own advantage ; for, taking an interest in
her, they had taught her habits and modes
of life which raised her considerably above
her countrywomen of the same class. De-
prived early of her parents, she mixed little
in the society of her own class, for Baldelli
was strongly averse to anything in the nature
of outings or junketings, as involving ex-
pense, and his miserly habits made him un-
popular amongst his neighbors.

Teresina had been for some time attached
to Frank Lloyd, much to the displeasure of
old Baldelli, who hated him very cordially

. for the way in which Lloyd steadily set his
face against the monstrous impositions at-
tempted by the old man,though be frequently
put little commissions in his way for‘fiowers.
fruits, poultry and the rest. Baldelli's son,
Luigi, was a thorn in the sides of the lovers.
He was a typical specimen of “ those Neapoli—
tans." a term of contempt used specifically
for a loafing set in Naples by the surround-
ing towns. Just a shade above the lazzaroni,
who are fast disappearing, they are as idle
and worthless a set of cubs as are to be found
in Europe. Work is hateful to them; they
would sooner filch a shilling than earn ten
any day; their time is spent round the doors
of cafes, in the piazzas, on board the bay
steamers, in the gardens of Chiaja; always
in gangs, gambling, idling, smoking, never
working. Where they find means to dress
their unclean bodies in the tawdry psuedo-
respectable clothes they wear, and for the
lavish display of collars and cuffs—the less
said about their under attire the better—is a
mystery. Luigi had graduated highly in this
set; but having a notion to settle down into
a less precarious mode of life, had thought

' that Teresina might prove a useful append-
age, and perhaps by her cleverness and indus-
try supply him with means for his own par-
ticular pleasures.

Affairs thus stood when a stroke of for-
tune, which befel Teresina, gave rise to the
trouble of which this story tells. Like many
wiser and better people than herself she oc-
casionally dreamed dreams, and often threw
away her small savings in the public lotteries
upon some “lucky number " which was to
make her fortune. One day, however, she
found herself to be one in a thousand on
which fortune smiles. She was the winner of
£500. It is needless to say with what alacri-
ty she presented herself at the banoo dl lotto,
and her disappointment at finding it was im-
possible to pay the money over to her. She
was too young. She must bring her parents
or guardians. With a heavy heart she re-
turned to Pausilipo,no longer thinking of the
joyful surprise she had in store for her darl-
ing Frank, whenishe should place the money
in his hands, and tell him to take her with it;
but with a presentiment of some misfortune
that must arise from her uncle's greed or her
cousin’s envy. But-she had been taughta
courage and independence from her use.
elation with the English, which determined
her to make a stand for her rights.

“ Chat! What do you do so late 7” growi-
ed her uncle as she entered the house.

“ I have been to the bronco di' lotto, my
father.” .

6‘ Lotto! what have you todo with lotto?-
9 little devil; it is not enough that you
should beggar me by giving macaroni to any
blind beggar who passes; but you must play
lotto, eh ? while Luigi sleeps all day and
drinks anisette like a prince! Curse you
both i ” - ‘

“But I have gained, my father. I" nd it
was not with your money. but somegti‘figg
earnedjrom the English ladiesd’

 

 

“ Gained! Humphl Nine or ten lira for
your trenta centesim, I suppose ? "

“ I have won twelve thousand five hundred
francs."

Old Baldelli dropped his- hands to his side,
fell back in his chair, and, with open mouth
and staring eyes, seemed to have lost all
power of utterance.

“ It is true, uncle Baldelli, and you are
glad of my fortune, are you not it ”

“ Twelve thousand! Why, we shall be
rich, my little Teresina. But where is the
money flLet me look at it, let me feel it,”
and his lean fingers trembled with excite-

ment. _
“I have not received it yet. They said

you must apply for it. But here is the
ticket." —

Old Baldelli seemed lost in thought.

“Yes, yes; I will apply for it,” he said,
“and then what gay doings we shall have.
And you shall have the brightest silk scarf in
Naples, and a silver necklet worth forty
francs, if I can‘t get it cheaper. And when
you marry Luigi—"

" But I am not going to marry Luigi."

“ Ah, but that will come in time. And we
will buy the orchard on the hill above, and
your old uncle—your loving,kind,old uncle—
ahall do all the work and Luigi shall play at
more and go to the theater, and the little
Teresina shall look after the house and be as
extravagant as she pleases. ” And the old
man chuckled over this pleasant arrangement.
But Teresina’s spirits rose at this.

“I will never marry cousin Luigi, Uncle
Baldelli, for I have plighted myself to Frank
Lloyd.”

Her uncle looked black at this; but any
care about his niece’s marriage was at pres-
ent absorbed in thoughts about the money.
He saw no connection between the two at the
time. He took it for granted that what was
hers was his, and if she would not have Luigi
——well, it was very desirable, certainly, but
Luigi must look to himself.

“ And you will take 5,000 francs for your-
self, uncle; for, although my father, I be-

‘lieve, left you sufficient for my support,

I would not appear ungrateful. For the
rest, I wish it to be given to my future
husband",

Baldelli stopped in the middle of some cal-
culations he was making, looked fixedly for
a few moments at his niece, and over his face
came a look that frightened her.

“Bah, little fool you know not what you
say. Will you sacrifice your family to this
accursed fair-faced foreigner ? " .

“ The foreigner loves me. My family’s
kindness is but small.”

At this moment a servant from the Villa
Santangelo appeared to request Teresina’s
presence at the house.

“Say no word of this to the English peo-
ple,” was her uncle’s injunction as she left.

“I will say no word, but I will do as I
have said,” and there was a determination in
her voice and look that there was no mistak-

in .

PIIialdelli sat for a long time, never moving,
but to make a jesture of anger or to utter an
oath. Presently he went to a cupboard,took
from it a bottle of wine that had lain there
many a month, and drank it at a draught.
Andthen,as the unaccustomed fumes mounted
to his brain—for he rarely took stimulants-’4
he paced the chamber to and fro, excited and
restless.

It was late when Teresina returned, and it
was with surprise she found herself accosted
by her uncle in amiable tones.

“ You have said nothing at the villa of your
fortune, child ? ”

“ Nothing, my father.’,

“ And you will not marry that poor Lugi,
and you will give all this money to the Eng-
lishman f”

“ It is only just, uncle Baldelli."

“ And your poor uncle will remain in Pan.
silipo, and work, work for his little plate of
macaroni, and his dear little Teresina will be
quite proud. and ashamed of him i " and
there was a sneer in the old man’s tones, and
a dark look in his eyes, that belied the soft-
ness of his speech.

“ No, no," replied his niece, “ never that. I
hope. But you will go about this for me to-
morrow, will you not i"

“ Yes, I will see to it. And now we will
take a cup of wine in honor of my Teresina’s
good fortune. See here, it is ready," and he
took from a side table two tumblers already
poured out. ”

“ Ah, this is very kind of you. my father.
But how bitter it isl "

“Finish it, finish it," he said fiercely; ”a

bumper to the lucky numberl " and she, not
caring to irritate ,him, complied.

She shortly after retired to rest. drowsy
and tired.

Half an hour afterward the old man crept

toward her room, muttering:

“ La Sonnambula, La Sonnambula! Luigi
said that the opera at San Carlo was like real
life. Sonnambulists do strange things.

And he passed into her room.

Frank Lloyd was sitting in a boat waiting
for his employer at the steps'of the Villa
Santangelo. He was surprised to see a light
burning in the gardener‘s house at so late an
hour; but he knew that Teresina often sat up
late after her uncle had retired; indeed he
had had many a sweet stolen interview with
her at the window when waiting ashe waited
now. At this moment he heard the voice of
Lord Ardley joining in a duet with his fian-
cee at the villa. “ He won’t come away just
yet,” said the sailor to himself; so, taking a
clean jump over a strip of water that sepa-
rated the two basements, he clambered up to
the gardener’s window. He had placed his
hands on the window-sill, and was drawing
himself up and about to give the usual sig-
nal, when, to his intense astonishment, he
saw old Baldelli staggering from the oppo-
site room, half-dragging. half-carrying his
niece. What could it mean it Was she ill it
Was it fresh air she required 2’ He had not
much time for thought, for the window,
opened suddenly outward by Baldelli, struck
his hands from their hold, and he had only
time to drop lightly into the water beneath.
As he came to the surface—great heaven, he
could neither shout nor prevent it—the slight
form of his sweetheart was hurled from the
window into the black water below; and the
old man. not daring to look upon his handi-
work, closed the window abruptly and dis-
appeared. It was the work of amoment for
the young sailor to reach the body of his
sweetheart, and to place her in his boat un-
der cover of a sail. But what was he now
to do with his precious burden, which lay,
safe but still unconscious, near him ? He
might, indeed, place her‘ under the care of
the ladies at the villa; but then he feared the
chatter of servants, nor did heknow what
power her uncle might have to claim her
from them, for Italian,eourts are slow to re-
cognize the interference of foreigners in do-
mestic difiiculties. While he was still in
doubt he was joined by Lord Ardley, to
whom be related his adventure. The noble-
man listened to the agitated voice of the poor
lad, and, making a shrewd guess at their re-

lations, he said:
“Your sweetheart, eh, Lloyd ? "

“ And you’re going to marry her ? ”

”Now more than ever sir. All. my lord,
you don’t know what difficulties we’ve had
to fight against, nor yet how dear she is to
me," and then he told the whole-story of his
attachment as they rowed vigorously,cach at
an ear, toward Santa Lucia. where Teresina
was placed on board the yacht.

0n the following day Baldelli, haggard and
anxious, at an early hour presented himself

at the banco di lotto.
“ I have come, as the guardian of my niece

Teresina, to claim the money she has gained
I! I“ lottery," '

~_a\.

"Very good, signore. And first the ticket,
if you please." '

He eagerlypresented it.

“All right and in order,” said the clerk.
“ She presented herself here yesterday."

“ She did,”

The clerk took out a large roll of notes,
which he began deliberately and without
haste to count.

" What a stroke of fortune for one so
youngi”

Baldelli nodded his head impatiently.

The clerk tied up the bundle of notes,
and began to whistle “Addict mia bella
Napoli.” -

“Well, well," said the gardener sharply.
“ Am I to wait much longer ? "

“But, slguore, you seem to be in a greater
hurry than the signorina."

“ What do you mean f "

‘bey, We wait the arrival of Teresina
Baldelli, of course." (“ Stupid old imbecile,”
muttered the clerk to himself).

Baldelli looked aghast, and then blustered
out:

“Don't I tell you she has told me to get
the money? Have you not got the ticket?
What more do you want? Am I not her
guardian ? Do you doubt that? ”

“Not for a moment; but this money will be
paid in her presence alone,”

“But how can she come here? She is ill.
The excitement was too much for her.”

“ Ah, then we must wait until she has re-
covered.”

“ But this is too much. Am I not a re-

- spectable citizen ? Am I not—”

“ Basla! That will do. signore; " and the
clerk replaced the notes in his desk.

Old Baldelli fumed and swore, whined and
entreated, with no effect. .

“ Give me back my ticket, then. I will
report you to your superiors! ”

“ The ticket 1 " Certainly. Here it is."

And then the gardener left the office.

' The clerk had seen a good number of
strange things in his time, and,was given to
the observations of the countenances and
emotions of his fellow-men; so he wrote a
note to the chief office. where in due time
Baldelli presented himself. And the official
at this place was altogether polite and amia-
ble, and much regretted that it was against
the rules to comply with Baldelli's request;
but if the signorina was unable to attend,
but still anxious for the settlement of her
claim, why, he would accompany the garden-
er himself to the house for the purpose. To
which the gardener objected strongly,and re-
tired with a face so worn and anxious and
frightened that this amiable ofilcial thohght
it as well to send a detective officer to look
after the old man, and, if possible, to get at
the bottom of the mysterye-for queer things
often happen with these lotteries.

The result was that nobody had seen or
heard anything of Teresina, and old Baldelli
was unable to account for her disappearance,
and maintained a dogged silence upon the
subject, for the disappointment to his hopes
and the consciousness of guilt had complete-
ly unnerved him. All the circumstances
were so suspicions that the police felt justi-
fied in connecting him with her disappear-
ance, and accordingly he was brought before
the head of the police to answer for himself.

In the meantime Teresina, having recover-
ed consciousness, was gradually brought to
by the assistance of the stewardess. On be-
ing questioned by Lord Ardley she gave a
truthful account of the events of the previous
night, but said that,from the time she retired
to her room, her mind was a complete blank.
She related with some blushing and hesita-
tion, her conversation with her uncle about
the lottery ticket, not forgetting his unaccus.
tomed liberality in giving her wine to drink
to her good luck.

“ Pretty clear, my lord,I think—drugged,"
said Lloyd.

“ Very likely. Horrid old villain l But
what’s to be done now ? "

“ With your permission, sir, I will go into
Naples and see what is going on.”

“ By all means, Lloyd. And look here, I
am going to be married, in a few days, and
if Teresina does not wish to return to this
pleasant home of her's, I have no doubt she
will make an excellent attendant on Lady
Ardley in our coming cruise about the Greek
Islands.”

" Many, many thanks, my lord."

On going ashore, Lloyd learned that old
Baldelli had been interrogated, with the re-
sult that he now suggested the possibility of
her having drowned herself, that she occa-
sionally walked in her sleep; that he had
found her door and window- open on the
morrow of her disappearance. This was
contrary to his statement at the ofiice, nor
could the body be found in the tideless
water. He refused to say anything further,
and was sent to jail to await his trial on sus~
picion.

Lloyd readily obtained permission to see
him.

The old man, filled with rage and remorse,
cried to him to “ begone " but dare not look
into his face.

“ Assassin, I know all! "

Baldelli cowered in the corner, and said
nothing.

“ 1 know all, and I almost hesitate to re-
lieve your villainous mind from the terror
that agitates it. Under God's hand, but
through no fault of yours, she lives.”

“ Lives?” and his whole aspect changed.
“ Then why am I here? Curse their med-
dling! Who says I murdered her it And you,

for l "

“ Gently, gently, old man. There is such
a thing as attempt to murder, for which a
considerable term at the galleys is not infre-
quently given. Teresina lives. and, so far as
the crime murder is concerned, you are not
guilty, by an accident. Now I mean to make
terms with you. Listen: I witnessed your
dastardly attempt, and I saved her life. She
will not return to you; she will become my
wife; she will bid you farewell, and will not
be told of your wickedness; and she will
carry out her intentions for your benefit, and
give you the five thousand francs she prom-
ised you, though you more richly deserve
five years at the galleys. If you consent to
this, good. If you refuse, I will at once
proclaim you to be the attempted murderer
of your niece."

“ Maladettol May every evil—"

“ Enough. You are no fool, though a
great rascal."

The programme was carried out in its en-
tirety. .Baldeili was released on the appear-
ance of Teresina, who, alive to some rescali-
ty on the part of her uncle, was satisfied to
receive from him a scowling assent to her
marriage with Frank Lloyd. .

After some months in the Mediterranean
with Lady Ardley she went to England, her
future home, as Mrs.‘ Lloyd; and it was not
till after the old man’s death that she learned
the true story of the tragical event that might
have followed on her lucky hit at lotto.—

BABIES.

 

A chapter about babies, How a baby
created a great deal of unnecessary excite-
ment: “One day last week the passengers
in a car bound out from St.Louis on the Ohio
and Mississippi railroad began to be annoyed
by the cries of a baby. The men swore se-
cretly and the women wondered why the
baby’s mother did not stop its month. But
it soon became evident that the baby was
alone. The tiny creature, no bigger than a
band-box, wriggled ofi its seat and ifell in
the midst of an ear-splitting squall. to the
floor. Then the nearest woman rushed over
to pick the infant up, and in less time than
it takes to tell it all the passengers got to
know of the sensational matter. ‘No,indecd,
it isn't my young one i' indignantly exclaim-
ed the maiden who first ran to its assistance.
‘It isn’t mine,’ repeated several other ladies
to the inquirytof the conductor, but an old
maid in a corner seat bit the handle of her
umbrella half off in silence. From that mo-

. ment until the train stopped at Relay station

the excitement was in keeping with the nov-
elty of the occurrence. Some thought that
the infant's mother had deserted it. Others
were of the opinion that she had been left
behind through accident. As the train
pulled into Relay, depot master Whitney,
who was seen wildly flourishing a telegram,
shouted: ‘Ain’t there a lost baby on this
here train ?' A dozen heads were put out
at a dozen windows and a dozen voices cried
‘Yes.’ The baby was handed to Mr. Whit-
ney and the train passed on. Meanwhile at
the Union depot in St. Louis a disconsolato
mother was walking up and down the plat-
form. Her agony was almost unbearable.
When she was handed a dispatch from Relay
couched in the eloquent words, ‘Kid safc,’
she wept for joy, From her explanation it
appears that before the train started she had
“just ran across the street to get a bottle of
milk.’ "

How a baby took an aerial flight:

Near Abilene, Ksn., a few days ago, a
mother left her infant strapped in a chair in
the summer kitchen. A wind storm came
up suddenly. From a dead calm a gale arose
in twenty seconds. At the first warning the
mother_hurried to look after her child, ex-
pecting to find her cherub quietly drinking
the contents of its thumb. To her amaze-
ment and extreme horror she saw baby and
baskets, pots, pans and buckets flying pro-
miscuously along with the tornado. The
wind subsided almost as quickly as it had
risen, and the mother had the satisfaction of
seeing the basket drop right side up in a
bale of hay, about 130 feet beyond the yard
fence. She was much more gratified to see
that the baby had sustained no serious injury.
Its appetite was good immediately after the
rescue.

How a baby figured in an clopement:

A man drove up at a terrific pace to the
railroad station at Farwell, Mich., and in-
quired for his wife. She had eloped with a
neighbor, and was about to take a train for
the East. “Thank goodness, I’m in time 1”
the husband cried, in great excitement.
The wife shrank coweringly into a seat, and
the bystanders expected a tragedy. “Here's
your baby,” he continued, producing a wee
bit of a girl; “reckon you forget her in your
hurry. Now you can get off as fast as you
like." Leaving the baby with the run-away
pair he drove away with his placidity entire-
ly recovered.

How a baby “runs” a street car, according
to an observing newspaper reporter:

- If there is one person in a street car pre-
ferred above another, it is that person who
is all by herself covered with glory, the wo-
man with a baby. I never saw any one look at
her thoughtshe§were in the'way, and the men
all see her through their newspapers, and rise
to give her and the bady ‘a seat. The other
ladies shower little indulgent beams of smiles
and make a joke at the baby, which all the
other men are quick to appreciate, and one
rattles his paper in the baby’s face and two
more fall into conversation on account of it.
A little child exclaims. “See, mamma,there’s
a baby i” and by the right of this exclama-
tion that mother leans forward. while the
other passengers look breathlessly on, and
asks how old the baby is; if it has any teeth
and if it can walk or talk yet. Obi the
woman with the baby has all the privilege
of royalty in a street car, and she may walk
fearlessly in and takefpossession if',she choose.

And speaking :of babies, arn’t fathers of
our country becoming grandfathers and great
grandfathers at an astonishing rate? Gen.
Grant and Gen. Sherman each have six
grandchildren, Gen. Sherman’s latest being
the little daughter of Mrs. Fitch who now
has five children, while Mrs. Thackera, her
sister, has but one. Justice Bradley and
Senator Don Cameron are also grandparents,
a child having been born to Mr. and Mrs.
Bradley, respectively the son and daughter
of the Judge and Senator. By the same hap-
py event Simon Cameron becomes a great-
grandfather.

 

Sweet Home.

When two young people love each other
and marry, they restore the picture of the
apostolic church. They are of one heart
and one soul. Neither do they say that
anything they possess is their own, but they
have all things in common. Their mutual
trust in each other, their entire confidence
in each other, draws out all that is best in
both. Love is the angel who rolls away the
stone from the grave in which we bury our
better nature. and it comes forth. Love
makes all things new ; makes a new heaven
and a new earth; makes all cares light, all
pains easy. It is the one enchantment of
human life which realizes Fortunio's purse
and Alladin’s palace, and ,turns the “Ara-
bian Nights" into mere prose by compari-
son. Before real society can come, true
homes must come. As in a sheltered nook
in the midst of the great'sea of ice which
rolls down the summit of Mount Blane, is
found a little green spot full of tender flow-
ers, so in the shelter of home, in the warm
atmosphere of household love. spring up the
pure affections of parent and child; father,
mother, son, daughter; of brothers and sis-
ters. Whatever makes this insecure, and
divorce frequent. makes of marriage not a
union for life, but an experiment which may
be tried as 'often as we icboose, and abandon-
ed when we like. And this cuts up by the

' roots all the dear affections of home; leaves

children orphaned, destroys fatherly and
motherly love, and is a virtual dissolution of
society.-:Jam Freeman Olark.

 

The Best Husbands

The best husbands I ever met came out of
a family where the mother, a most heroic
and self-denying woman, laid down the ab-
solute law, “Girls first.“ Not in any author-
ity, but first to be thought of as to protection
and tenderness. Consequently the chivalrous
care which these lads were taught to'care for
their own sisters naturally extended itself to
all women. They grew up true gentlemen
—-generous, unexacting, courteous ofspeech
and kind of heart. In them was the protec-
ting strength of manhood, which seems to
use its strength except for protection ; the
proup honesty of manhood, which infinitely
prefers being lovingly and openly resisted to
being twisted round one’s finger as mean men
are twisted, and mean women will always
be fpuud ready to do it, but which I think,
all honest men and brave women would not
merely' dislike, but utterly despise.-—Mrs.

KNOWING AND TRUSTING.

I think if thou couldst know
0 soul that will complain,
What lies concealed below
Our burden and :our pain,
How just our anguishzbrings
Nearer those longed-for things
We seek for now in vain.—’
I think thou wouldst rejoice, and not com-
plain.
I think if thou couldst see,
With thy dim mortal sight,
How meanings, dark to thee,
Are shadows hiding light;
Truth’s efforts crossed and vexed,
Life’s purpose all perplexed,—
If thou couldst see him right,
I think that they would seem all clear, and
wise and bright.

And yet thou canst not know,
And yet thou canst not see;
Wisdom and sight are slow I
In poor humanity.
If thou coulds’t trust, poor soul ?
In Him who rules the whole,
Thou wouldst find peace and rest.
Wisdom and sight are well, but trust is best.

 

 

THE ROUND OF LIFE.

 

BY ALEXANDER LAMONT.

 

Two children down by the shining strand,
With eyes as blue as the summer sea.
While the sinking sun fills all the land
With the glow of a golden mystery :
Laughing aloud,at the sea-mew's cry,
Gazing with joy on its snowy breast,
Till the first star looks fromlthe evening sky,
And the amber bars stretch over the west.

A soft green dell by the breezy shore.

A sailor lad and a maiden fair;

Hand clasped in hand, while the tale of you
Is borne again on the listening air.

For love is young, though love be old,

And love alone the heart can fill;
And the dear old tale. that has been told
In the days gone by, is spoken still.

A trim-built;homc on a sheltered bay :

A wife looking out on the glistening sea;

A prayer for the loved one far away,

And prattling imps ’neath, the old roof-
tree; .

A liftedjlatch and a radiant face

By the open door in the falling night;

_ A welcome homeland a warmjembracs

From the love of his youth and his child-
ren bright.

An aged man in an old arm-chair ;
A golden light from the western sky :

9

His wife by his side, with her silvered hair

And the open Book of God close by. ,
Sweet on the bay the gloaming falls, ' '
And bright is the glow of the evening star ;

iBut dearer to them are the jasper walla

And the golden streets of the Land afar.

An old churchyard on a green hillside,

Two lying still in their deaceful rest; ‘

The fisherman’s boats going out with the tide

In the fiery glow of the amber west.

Children’s laughter and cld men’s sighs,

The night that follows the morning clear,

A rainbow bridging our darkened skies.

Are the round of our lives from year to

year! —0hambers‘a Journal

DREAM J DY.

Within each heart there lies apart

‘ From all its cares and sorrow,

A paradise which knows no sighs,

: A world of happy morrows;

A heaven of light unknown to blight

' Of Winter break and dreary,

Whose days are long, and sweet with song

. Whose hours are never weary.

What matter though earth’s pathway's glow
No more with Springtime gladneso? ‘
What if each June has flown too soon

And left a look of sadness ?

No real love so true will prove,

No tones one half so tender.

No lips so pure as those which lure

The soul to visioned splendor.

Cold to our own, too oftzhath growu
The clasp we greeted kindly,

And fickle been earth’s friendship, when
We trusted it most blindly;

The sod hath pressed the truest breast,

 

all Soldiers of my own and other
Regiments, &c.

And hid the form we cherifhed,
But oh! we still can feel the thrill
’ Of hope which bathinot perished.

Aht never bath the brightest path
The sunshine always near it ;

The passion guest of anguished must
O'srsweep the lightest spirit :

But we who strive one moment, live
The next is blissful seeming.

And half our years are given to ma,
And half to idle dreaming“ .

 

SOME TIME.

——

av snsszr 000111362.

 

The night will round into the morn,
The angry storm-wind cease to beat.
The spent bird preen his wet. tired wills.
Grief ceaseth when the babe is born.
There comes an end to the hardest thing
Some time— ’ .
Some time, some far time, late but sweet.

I could not keep on with the fight;
I could not face my want, my sin,
The bailed hope, the urgent fee,
The mighty wrong, the struggling right,—
Excepting that I surely know
Some time-— .
Some time, some dear time, I shall will.

i could not hold so sure, so fast,
The truth of which is to me so true,
The truth which men deride and shun,
Were I not so sure it shall at last
Be held as truth by every one
Some time-
Some time all men shall owu it, too!

Some time the morniugbclls shall chime
Some time be heard the victor song,
Some time the hard goal be attained,
The puzzles shall be clear in time.
The tears all shed, the gains all gained,
Some time—-
Ab, dear time, tarry not too long!

 

There's a bonnie young lassie in Mystic,
Whose feelings run antagonistic
To those of her beau,
For she finds him scan sleau,
She yells “Don’t you want to be Kyst Dic P"

A farmer once hitched to his plough
A jaded old ass and a cough;
This team strange to say.
Refused to obay,
And ran at the sight of a sough.
