Wilt Thou Love me thus Forever 1
Than gnzest, deep and eanicst—
Deep and earnest are thine eyes;
I know that in onr being
There are answering sympathies ;
1 know there dwells opon me
' An affection rich and pure.
And ask.' with anxious yearning,
••TVill it ever, thus, endnre 7”
Quick changes come upon ns—
Changes not in cur control;
Thebe are shadows ond eclipses,
' ' And dark tides upon theibul.' <i: ’
With tremuluns emotion,
I accept thy bounteous store.
Bat ask, with anxious yearning,
“ Wilt thou love me over more 7"
Thnu knowest all my weakness,
Thon knowest all my power;
Tbou’st read my life, and hnowest
Every weed and every flower;
And ii within my nature
Any gracious gift there be,
I would its brightest radiance
' Should transfuse itself to theo.
God knows, no selfish impulse
Draws my heart thus close to thfne;
I would that all thy toiling
Shonld partake of the divine;
I would be wise and perfect, ' ^
hiving truly, heartily,
That life’s most glorious hnlos
Should snrronnd and hallow thee!
And if upon thy pathway
I have cast ouo tiny ray,— .s
Made one moment brighter, happier,
By my life or by my lay,—
Then thon ennst not love a nature
That is meaner than my own ; .
Thou canst never have enjoyment
In a soul of lower tone.
So I rest my heart contented,
For, in this clearer view,
I see thon’lt not withhold me
Such love as is my due;
And, if some richer nature
Win the gift that once was mine,
I most bow'my head submissive
To a law of the Divine!
But with earnest, strong endeavor,
I would labor by thy side.
Earn the right to be companion,
Fellow-worker uml thy guide;
Thro - nil earth’s weary turmoil
Keep a loving soul, nnd pure,
And thy bounties of affection
Will forever, thus, endure.

Better than Diamonds.
I was standing in the broad, crowded
street of a latge. city. It was a cold
WinJet’s day. There had been rain ;
arid although the sun was then shining
brightly, yet the long icicles hung from
the caves of the houses, nnd the wheels
Tumbled loudly as they passed over the
frozen J groynd. ..There was a clear bright
and a cold bracing feeling in lbe
Rlty rind a keen riqrffj-wcst wind, which
quickened every step. Just then a lit-
tie child came running along—a poor,
ill-clad child; her clothes were scant
and threadbare; she had no cloak, and
no shawl* and her little bare feet look
ed red and suffering. She could not
have been.more than eight years old.
She carried a bundle in her hand.
Poor little Shivering child ! 1, even I,
who could do nothing else, pitied her.
As she passed me, her foot slipped upon
the ice, and she felt, with a cry of pain ;
but she held the bundle tightly in her
hand, and jumping up, although she
limped sadly, endeavored to run on as
before.
‘■Stop, little girl, stop,” said a soft
sweet voice ; and a beautiful lady wrap
ped in a large shawl; and with furs all
round her, came out of a jeweler’s'store
close by. " Poor little child,” she said,
“are you hurt! Sit down on this step
and toll me.” How I loved her, and
how beautiful she looked } “O, I can
not,” said the child, “ I cannot wait—I
am in such a hurry. 1 have been to the
shoemaker’s, .and mother must finish
this work to-night, or she will never get
any more shoes to bind.” “ To-night T”
said the beautiful woman—“to-night 1”
“Yes,” said the'child—for the stranger’s
kind manner had made her bold-—“ Yes;
for the great baH to-night; and these
satin slippers must be spangled, and—”
The beautiful woman took the bundle
from the child’s hand, and unrolled it.—
You don’t know, why her face flushed,
and then turned pale; but 7, yes, I look
ed into the bundle, aud on the inside of
the slipper I saw a name—a lady’s name
—written; but—I shall not tell it.—
“And where does your mother live, lit
tle-girl ?” .So the child told her where,
and then she told her that her father

Oceana do not so effectually separate
us as indifference and estrangement.
The jilent upbraiding of the eye is
the very poetry of reproach.
She was a line of poetry in a world
prose.
Fashion—Is the race of the rich to
get away From the poor, who follow on
ns fast as they can.
Say little of .a person whom you enn
neither commend without envy, nor dis
praise without danger.
The tears of the. compassionate are
sweeter than dew-dropS falling upon
roses on the bosom of spring.”
Wo unto the heart where passion
louts its tide 1 Soon sinks the flood to
eavethe desert there.-
As the prickliest leaves arethe driest
so the pertest fellows are generally the
most bar ten.
True grandeur rises from surmount
ed ills. The truly wretched only can be
truly great.
True happiness is to be found in con
tentment. Contentment is to be found
—Heaven knows where. .
The autumnal.teaf, as it withers and
falls, tells ust .of decay and death ; but
the bursting into life of the spring flow
ere whisper the joyous hope of a resut
rection from the dead.

there was music and dancing, and lights,
and sweet flowers; and 1 saw young,
happy faces, aqd beautiful Women, richly
dressed, and sparkling with jewels; but
.none that l-knew until one passed me,
whose dress was simple white, with on
ly a rose-bud on her besom, and whose
voice was like the sweet sound'of the

that some times they were very hungry,

and that her mother sometimes cried, be

that the lady’s eyes were full of tears ;
and she rolled up tlieburtdle quickly,and

gave her nothing else; no, not even a
Sixpence ; and turning away went hack
into the Store from which she had just
come out. As she went away, 1 saw the
glitter of-a diamond pin. Presently she
came hack, and stepping into a hand
some enrriage rolled uff. The little girl
looked after her for a moment, and then
with her little hare feet colder than they
were before, rah qtiickly away. I went
%vith the little girl and saw her go to a
narrow, damp street, and' into a small,
dark room; and 1 saw her mother—-her.

sweet, so patient, hushing and soothing
a sick baby. And tho babe slept; and
the mother laid it on her own lap, and the
bundle was unrolled; and a dim candle
helped her with her work, for though it
was nbtnight, yet her room was very dark.

he would discover in many of his habits
that he is a culprit under lawS more fix

to be weak, delicate and sickly—ever
the prey to nervousness, dyspepsia and
that long train of chronic diseases that
afflict the human race. We pity their
condition, because, for the most part,
the evils they suffer are bro’t on by ig
norance of the law of their being. To
place out selves ongood terms with such,
we-will not hlairte them for what, per
haps, might be called culpable ignor
ance, but good naturedly address our
selves to the task of removing from their
minds the veil of ignorance that has
caused all the ills that scourge them.
