Such wonU a heart of ice would touch, And melt away in bliss; In fact, 1 think I said aa much, Aud hinted at a kiss. The winsome maid began to pout, To seem a trille sad, "That's very naughty, sir," she said, "And now I thiuk you're bad." I told her, while I clasiied her waist, Where long, dark tresses curled, I would not hava her love displaced, No. not for all the world ; And kiss without her tweet consent, I never, never would I'll tell you, when you may," she said, "And now 1 think you're good."

The pastor of the Methodist church, the Key, Mr. Demining, was iu the habit of holding a daily children's meet ing, at which lhe boys and girls stopped for a few moments on their way from school. In order to inter est and instruct the children, the unstor uroseutid a variety of topics. One day he nsked the meaning of "Ainiiu." No one answered. "You have often," said the clergy man, "heard the brethren say 'amen!' 'amen!' "bile some ono was praying, what did they moan ? If any one knows, let him hald up his hand." Up jumped a lilt! fellow, too eager to rait for recognition. I know," he called out. It means "r urcy up fnd y et through." There was an audible smile, nnd many of the elders, we have no doubt, fell lhat the definition would be very otvful i.f it could be general- ly accepted, and shorten prayers.
