DRIFHNB AWAT.
"NYo aro driftuig out on an ocean wide,
From our childhood's home, whero time and
tido
Brought fairest flowcw, and sunny skies,
To cheer our hearts, and glad our eyes;
And wo never dreamed in our childish pLiv,
That our tiny barks wero drifting awa.
Wo arc driftiue on o'er waters blue,
Prom tho friends of youth, whom all wcro true,
And thu barks glide by; from day to day,
Neath blooming boughs ami ailvur spray;
And wo sometimes thought iu a thoughtless
way
Tliat even then wo were drifting away.
Wo aru drifting down on waters wide,
To a sunset shore, unknown, untried,
And wo raiso ono hand to shade our eyea
Tliat arc growing tired 'ncath tho sunot skies
And tho barks press on at the closo of day,
But knowing alas, they aro driftiug away.
Hevlr Grow Old.
I looked in tho toll-talo mirror,
And saw the marks of care,
Tho crow's feot and tho wi inkles,
And tho gray in tho dark brown hair,
My wife looked o'er my shoulder
Most beantiful was sho,
"Thou wilt uovor grow old my love," ah'
Raid,
"Nover grow old to me.
"For ago is tho chilling of heart,
And thmo, in mine can tell,
Ii as young and warm as when first wo heard
Tho sound of our bridal bell I "
I turned and kisied her ripo red lips:
"Lilt tlmn tin ill uvtwf mi inn
Let time do iti worst on mo,
in ciy faoul, my Lovo, my Faith,
I nover seoui old to thocl"

Hlonul man in a town. A home, lot it
bo evur ho humble, can bo mado to
look cheerful and inviting, if a little
caro Is taken to hitvo tho Hurrouiitliiigri
neat and clean. Tho luck of caro in
this respect is ono greitt reason why
tho young people don't liko to htay on ,
tho farm, but long for town life, iid '
wo do not wondor. Tho young mind
naturally turn to tho beautiful In 'la
turoorurt, and would cli ig to better
thinge, m thoy grow older, if their
youthful fancier aro not trodden out.
It ia often that tho flrot step taken in
preparing u homo Ii to cut down overy
treo or Hhrub in (tight, and then erect
four baro walls to catch tho burning
nun of hu minor and tho Hlornw of win
ter. We do not think too much slmdo
desirable, but u few trees add to tho
beauty ' and honithfulneus of a homo,
and otton adds much to its Intrinsic
value in tho eyes of a purchaser a few
dollars spent In trees will soon add to
its value. Then, when tho hot days of
hnrveBt-timo come, tho shado of tho
green branches is grateful. Wo would
have tho barn and outhouses conven
iently near, but yot fenced off no that
Uie eattlo and pigs should not make a
trystlng-placo of tho frout-door yard.
Fleas aro Huro to be whero pigs are,
and they aro a great drawback to tho
comfort of llfo-ut least to most people,
and a little forethougnt and caro on tho
arrangement of fencing will keen them
off to a comfortable degree. Iu no
country aro there to bo found so inuiy
charming bulldlnfr-sltos as hero, among
our beautiful picturesque oaks and
evergreen flrs. Wo catch ourclves
continually picking out nice placeri for
a houso to Iks put, aa wo rldo along,
winding among tho hills and river
bottoms. 'Nowhero in our travels have
wo seen tho equal of our moss-hung,
fantastic oaks and spreading maples.
The building of a homo devolves upon
tho men, and wo women aro only ablo
to make tho within what it should lx
If it wero possible for women to havo
the say-so, there would bo more nice,
beautiful homes. Men do not often
realize how much the happiness of
.their wives depends upon tho well
finished and furnished house, livery
ort of agricultural implement to make
men's work easier is gotten us a matter
of course, while littlo or nothing is
thought of to lighten tho heart of tho
mother. She should at least havo the
boon of a comfortably-furnished house
and n wood-shed. Wo havo noticed
n lack of that very neceesary append
age, nud now, as tho rainy season is at

Women's Influenco on Social Lifo. ,
Men as n rulo.aro easily attracted to a
tieautlful face, but still it is an internal
beauty of character by which a woman
can exert thu greatest amount of influ
ence. A truo minded man, though at
tirst enamoured by thu glare of por
sonal beauty, will soon feel the hollow
ness of Its charms when lie discovers
the lack of 'beauty in tho mind. In
estimably great is thu intlueiiee a
sweet-minded woman may wit Id over
thoso around her. It is to her that hor
friends would como in KcaMins of sor
row and sickness for help and support
one soothing touch of her kindly
hand would work wonders on the fav
erish child, a few words lot fall from
her lips in tho ear of a sorrowing sister
would do much to ralo tho load of
grief which was bowing its victim
down to tho dust In anguish. The
husband comes home, worn out with
the world iu general; but when ho
ontors tho cosy sitting room and sees
the hluzo of tho bright II re, his slippers
placed by lov'ug hands in rcadmes-,
and meets hLs wife's smiling face, ho
su'-cumbs in a moment to the soothing
influences which act as tho balm of
Gllcad on his wounded spirits, that are
wearied with combating with tho stern
realities of life. Tho rough schoolboy
flies in a rago from tho taunts of his
comimn'ous to And solace In his moth
er's smile; tho llt'lo one, full nt grief
wiwi us own large trouble, tlnds a
haven of rest on Jits mother's breast;
and ho ono might go on with instance

Ingratitude to Parents.
There was onoe a father who gave up every
thing to his childrenhis houso, his fields and
goods and expected that for this his children
would support him. But after he had been
soma timo with his son, tho latter grow timl of
him, and Raid to hin: "Father. I liavo had a
son born to mo this night, and there, whero
your arm-chair stands, the crtullo must come.
Will you not, perhnpj, go to iny brother, who
Iim a larger room!"
After ho had boon omo timo with tho second
pom, ho rdw grow tired of him, and said:
"Father, you liko a ann room, and that hurts
my head. Won't you go to my brother, the
bakori" Tho fathtr went, and after hu.h.vl
been soino timb . with tho. third sou, ho alxo
found him troublos'oaK', mid fuid to him:
"Father, tho jvoplp run in and out hero nil d.ir,
as if It wero :i phjeou-housc, and you c.uiuot
havo your noomuv sleen. Would you not lo
better oil" at my sister KatoV, near tho town
wall!" Tho old niah remarked how tho wind blew,
and said to hiinwlf, "Yes, I will do so; I will
go and try it with my (LuighU-r. Women havo
softer hearts." But after ho had spent potno
timo with his daughter, sho grow weary of him,
and said sho was always so fearful when her
father went to church, or anywhere else, and
was obliged to descend to steep stain, aud at
her sister Klizabetli's thcro wero no stairs to
descend, as sho lived on tho ground floor.
For tho eako of jvcaco tho old man assented,
and went to his other daughter. But after
soino time she, too, was tirod of him, and told
him, by a third peroon, that her houso near tho
water was too damp for a man whosutleted
with gout, aud her Bistoi, tho grave-digger's
w ifo, at St John's, liad much drier lodgings.
Tho old man himelf thought ihowas right, and
went outsido tho gato to his youugt-st (laughter,
Helen. But after ho had been thivo days with
her, her littlo son said to his grandfather:
"Mother said yesterday to cousin Elizabeth,
that thcro was no better chamber for ou than
such a ono as father digs." These words broke
tho old man's heart, ho he sank back in his
chair and died. Martin Luther.

A bumblo-bco, yellow as gold,
Sat perched on a rod-clover top,
When a grasshopper, wiry and old,
Came along w ith a skip and a hop,
"Good-morrow I" cried he, "Mr. ltumblo-Beo I
You seem to havo como to a stop."
"Wo people that work,"
Said tho beo witli a joik,
"Find a boueiit sometimes in stopping;
Only insects liko you,
Who havo nothing to do,
Can keep up a porjietual hopping."
Tho grasshopper twined on his wav,
And thoughtfully hunched up hfs knwu;
"Why trouble this sunshiny day. "
Quoth he, "with reflections like tlit'viT
I follow tho trade for which I was made;
Wo all can't bo w iso bumble-bees.
"There's a timo to bo sad,
And a timo to bo gl.id;
A time both for working and stopping;
For men to make money,
For you to m.vko honoy,
And for mo to do nothing but hopping."

Thoro was onco a bountiful roobush
that wMiod to bo beautiful. All day
long It stood in a sunny, south window,
anil streuhed its fair green leaves to
tho light.
"O dour!" sho sighed; "Ifl only had
some sweet pink blossoms thou every
Isidy would like me aud praise mo. ()
uoari"
Hut sho was a er.y littlo rosebush,
not at all in earnest about being beau
tiful. If she hud been sho would have
searched carefully among tho dark
mould at her feet until hIm round huiiiii-
thinir to beirln a resubud with over wi
little dot of a bud to begin with. Then
she would have loved ilio ttnv thlmr
and nursed It and coaxed It 1 11 It gro
a fair ami shapely bud; aud when tho
old sun found out about it hu would
have sent an exquisite artist millions
of miles to paint Its folded petals, aud
at lust theio would softlv unfold a
beautiful llower that would bo tho Joy
,oi an wnosawit.
Hut the littlo treo had no idea of mi
ning to work. It Just stood still and
sighed, "O dearl 1 wish I had some
hlossnmi,"
I Ono day Its mistress heard its slirhs,
and she lusteiifil upon It some artlllcinl
buds and llowers. Then the little vain
bush held up its head quite proud and
sitiiMieii.
The people who nnssed bv tho win-
dow, when they caught tho llrnt
fjlliuji-e (if the rosebush, ti-ed to ex
claim, "01 how lieautllull" but when
they came near, and miw that tho blos
soms wero only make believe, pinned
'ii blovoins, tliey cried. "O llel" and
'turned nvny with contempt.
Thete was once a littlo Irl wished
to bo beautllul. She wished to have
every one lose iiudiulmiruher, tint bins
did not ir.y to obtain tho wisdom that
, would win their admiration, or tho
graces of heart and lifuthat would w.n
their love. That was ti inch troub
lu and too much self denial.
There must he a great ileal of lowly,
patient, painstaking work, deep down
iu tho heart, I'oforo the blossoms of a
beautiful character can untold them
selves in llfo and action. Tho little
gill did not liko this kind of work; so
sho gave up trying to 6i beautiful, and
was content only lo Mem beautiful. Ho
her beauty was only on tho outside.
She had lino dresses, with Jhuncosnnd
ribbons and bows, and sho was careful
to ho very polite, and practiced elegant
manners, tsho could dance, and play,
aim sing, aim many oiuur pleasant ac-
coiiipitsiimeuts.

Stick to Your Business.
There is nothing which should be
more frequently Impressed ujhjii tho
minds of young men than the impor

one employment to another is onu of
the most common errors committed,
and to it may bo traced more than hair
the failures or men in business, and
much of thu discontent and dlMippoint
moot which render life uncomfortable.
It is a common thing for a man to bo
disappointed with his husi .ess, and to
desiru to change it for somo other
which, it h-iiuii to him, will prove a
more lucrative employment; but Iu
