A NATURE PRAYED.
L'li, birds that sings such thankful psalms,
Rebuking human fretting.
I each us your secret of content,
Your science of forgetting.
For every life must hnvo its ills—
You, too, have times of sorrow—
Teach us, like you, to lay them by
And sing again to-morrow;
For gems of blackest jot may res?
Within a golden setting,
And ho is wiso who understands
Tho scienca of forgotting.
Oh, palms, that bow lieforo the palo
Until its peaceful ending.
Teach us your yielding, linked with strength,
Your graceful art of bending;
For evnry tree must meet the storm.
Knell heart must encounter sorrow;
Tench us, like you, to bow, that we
May stand erect to-morrow;
For there is strength in humble grace—
Its wise disciples shielding—
And he is strong who understands
The happy art of yielding.
Uh, brook, which laughs all night, all day,
With voice of sweet seduct ion,
Teach us your urt. of laughing more
At every new obstruction;
For every life has eddies deep
And rapids fiercely dashing,
Soniotimes through gloomy caverns forced,
Sometimes in sunlight flashing;
Yet there is wisdom in your way,
Your laughing waves and wimples*
Teach us your gospel built of smiles,
The secret of your dimples.
Oh, oaks, thut stand in forest ranks,
Tall, strong, erect, and sightly.
Your branches arched in noblest grace,
Your leaflets laughing lightly;
Teach us your Arm and quiet strength,
Y our secrets of extraction
From slimy darkness in tho soil
The grneo of lifo nnd action;
For they arc rich who understand
Tho secret of combining
The good deep hidden in the earth
With that whero suns are shining.
Oh, myriad forms of earth and air,
Of lake, nnd sea, and river,
Which makes our landscape; glad and fair
To glorify the giver;
Teach us to lourn tho lessons hid
In oach familiar feature,
The mystery which so perfects
Each low or lofty creature;
For God is good, and life is sweet,
While suns are brightly shining
To glad tho glooms und thus rebuke
Our follies of repining.
Each night is followed by its day,
Each storm by fairer weather,
Wliilo all tho works of nature sing
Their psalms of joy together.
Then learn, oh, heart, thc-lr songs of hopo!
Cease, soul, thy than Idas; sorrow;
For though tho clouds bo dark to-day.
Tho sun shall sliino to-morrow;
Learn well from bird andtroo and rill
Tho sins of dark resentment;
And know the greatest gift of God
Is fuith and sweot contentment.

and his wife left tho office, not,however,
until she jiuid tlio magistrate his fee.
The couple walked in silence, Tudor
hardly knowing what, lie was doing or
what he. lind done. Turning the corner,
lie saw a splendid house, toward which
the wifo directed her steps und into
which they entered, passing into a room
that was furnished in a magnificent
style. She told him to sit down und

into ntiolhcr room. The first, ono who
addressed her was her uncle, who asked
how she escaped from her room and
where she had been. Her only answer
was: “Thou fiend in human sliapo; 1 si-
low you just, one hour to remove your
effects from this house. You havo long
deprived me of my property, and meant

he made a will by which his brother
was to have possession of all liis property
until his daughter was married, when it
was to he given up to her husband, but
if she died without marrying, tho prop

A STRANGK HUT TTMIF, STOIIY
Many decades ago a vessel from Bos
ton arrived ut a dock in London. Among
tho hands on hoard was one named
Tudor, a steady, well-looking young
man, who acted as a sailor. Very [early
one morning a young, beautiful and de
cently dressed woman came tripping
down to the vessel and inquired of Tudor
for the captain. She was told he was
not risen, but she insisted on seeing him
without delay. Tudor called him up,
and she addressed him with:
“Good-morning, captain! I have
called to see if you will marry me.”
“Marry you?”—believing her to he a
suspicious character—“leave my vessel
instantly, if you know what is for your
good!” She next went to the mate and
r eceivcd a similar answer; she then went
to where Tudor was, being engaged in
handling ship-tacks, and put the same
question to him. “With all my heart,”
your escape.
“What?" exclaimed Eliza, “Is it pos
sible that I am to he delivered from this
vile place?"

The gigantic animals which existed in
the western part of tho United States
during the tertiary ago, and which con
stitute an order known to science as tho
Dinocerata, form tho subject of an clabo
rate treatiso by I'rofessorO O. Marsh, of
Yale college. A basin in Wyoming Ter
ritory, drained by Green river, is Ilia
only locality in the world whero remains
of those creatures have been found. This
basin, now fiom 0,000 to 8,000 foot
above sea level, is the site of an ancient
lake, on whose borders the great beasts,
nearly equaling elephants in size, roamed
in great numbers, an* in which many of
them were entombed. In the same re
gion ancestral forms of the tapir, the
horse and the pig flourished at the samo
geological period; and the lako swarmed
with crocodiles, tortoises, snakes and
fishes, while its shores were fringed
with palms and other plants which ure
now characteristic of the tropics. Pro
fessor Marsh believes tho age of great
mammals to bo past, und that the ele
phants must soon disappear from the
) earth.
Preacher Davies and King George.
When president of Princeton college,
Samuel Davies visited England for tlio
purpose of obtaining donations for tho
institution. The king (George II.) hai
a curiosity to bear a preacher from “tho
i wilds of America.” lie accordingly at
tended, and was so much struck with his
commanding eloquence, that ho express-
| ed his astonishment loud enough to h*
heard half way over the house, in such j
terms as these: “He is a wonderful |
man!” “Why, he heats my bishop!" j
etc. Davies observing that the k ; ng was j
attracting more attention than himself,
paused, and, looking his majesty full in
the fare, gave him, in an emphatic tone,
the following beautiful rebuke: “ When j
the lion roareth, let the beasts of the j
forest tremble; and when the Lord
speaketb, let the kings of the earth keep
silent.” The king instantly shrank back
in his seat, like a schoolboy who had
been rapped on the head b.y his master,
and remained quiet during the remainder
of the sermon. The next day the mon
arch sent for him, and gave him <11 ty
guineas for the institution over which he
presided, observing at the same time to
his courtiers: “Heisau honest man—an
honest man.”

Home life.
When I was u hoy Bays Dr. Charlos
Robinson in the New York Tribune,
I used to declaim those stirring lines
"Strike for your altars and the fires;
strike for tho green graves of your
sires.” But now the altars and fires
are register holes in tho wall, anil the
green graves of tlio sires are vnulta
of stone made to look as much like
small palaces as wealth can mako
them, and nobody would cure to fight
for either. I saw tho other day a mot
to, “God bless our flat;" that was all
that there was left of tho home. I do
not oppose tho fiat system; but I say
anything that breaks up tho home feel
ing aims a blow at the church and
state. When the romance and the
sacredness of home are gone, then it
ueerns as if evon decency very soon
departs. Bickerings arise, recrimina
tions follow, iind one of the pair goos
across tho State line to get permission
to break the sacred union. IIow can
there ho any homo life among our rich
people, with one house ia the country,
another in town and a couple of months
in Florida between? And as if this
were not bad enough, they take their
children abroad for some years. I have
lived in Paris and watched the effect
of these European sojourns, and I
know whereof I sjieak 'Aher. I say they
are bad for our sons and still worse for
our daughters. They come back dena
tionalized, having lost all idea or Jove
of home life, and happy only when
counting tho days before their return
to their beloved Europe.
