SOMETIME.
Sometime, ytlien all life's lessons have been
learned.
And suns and stars forevermore have pet.
The things which onr weak judgments here
have ppurned.
And thing? over which we grieved with
lashes wet.
Will flash hefnre ns, out of life’s ds’k night.
As stars shine most in deeper lints of blue,
And we shall see how all (rod's plans were
right.
And how what seemed reproof was love
most true.
And we shall see how, while we frown and
H sigh,
God’s plan goes on as best fer yon and
ine ;
Flow, when we called, He heided not onr cry.
Because Hie wisdom to the end could see.
And e'en a« prudent paients disallow
Too mnch of sweet to ernvirg babyhood,
So God. perhaps, i« keeping from ns now
Life’s sweetest things, because it seeuieth
good.
And if, sometimes, commingled with life’s
wine,
We find tl e wormwood, arid rebel and
shrink.
Be sure a wiser hand than yours or mine
I'ours out this portion for your lips to
drink.
A'rd if some friend we love is lying low
Where human kisses cannot reach bis face,
Oh. do not blame the heavenly Father so.
But wtar your fortow with obedient
grace I
Aid yon shall shortly know that lengthened
breath
Is not the sweetest gift Uod sends his
friend,
"AmTlhat, sometimes, the sable pall ol death
Conceals the fMiiest boon liis love can send
If we would push Hjar the gales of life,
And stand within, and ull Hod's workings
see,
‘"We could interprrt all this donbt and strife,
And tor each mystery could And a key.
But not today. Then he content, poor
heart !
God’s plans, like lilies, purd and while un
fold.
W e must i ot tear the close-shut leavts apart;
Time will n veul the calyxes ol gold.
And If, through patient toil, we reach the
land
Where tired feet with sandals loose, may
rest,
When we shall clearly know and understand,
i think that we would say, ‘ God knew the
best !" Mai y Reilly Smith.
Old Friendships.
An old Headship, though so mnch more
valuable, is jierhnpa, loss delightful than n
new friendship. Few persons, imbed, would
be aware of any sense of loss, if they passed
nt once from the keen interests of one to the
■toady repose of the other ; hut we lose the
first lone before we gain the hist, nnd the
ititervei.ii'g stage in the world of friendship,
and indeed in the whole world of intercourse
between mind and mind, is apt to be disap
pointing. It is one of the commonest of
mors 'o mistake novelty for deteiiorotion.
All that is nieunt by saying that juch a
writer is ‘gone ofl,” for instance, is in many
enses merely that a condition of irptiltbrinm
is established between his mind and that ol
the public; that he has taker, his plnee
among those influences from which men ex
pect much, and that the kind of interest
which is akin to surprise is roused by him
no longer. And all that is implied in the
disapimintnn nt which often succeeds to the
first enthusiasm of a friendship, is that it no
longer inspins thut thrill with which the
mind ixpumlsto receive a new influence.
Ferhupeeven the stability of übso ute con
fidence, tbe repose of a perfect und rstand
ing, ure not so delightful as the stimulus to
thought and feeling afforded by the new
sounding-board which we gain in the firs'
contact with u responsive mind. .Much less
is the mixtuie oi feclir.g which intervems
between the excitement of anew a Beet on,
and tbe repose of an old affection. The
perils of this trying interval, most evident in
the cast of husband and wife, threaten, in a
less degrie, every intimate relation. We
forgive many sins more easily than the
natural, unreasonable claim that a transient
stage shall be permanent. Nothing equally
innocent is so disaatreus to conjugal happi
ness as that disappointment iu the relation
which is so apt to follow the agitation ami
tbe mystery of its dawn. We shoe Id find
tbe same relief itv realizing that the desire
for wbat is new is a part, not of frivolous
humuq patore, but of all human nut ure. us
in learning that the damage we had ascribed
to a malicious eqgmy was due to seme wild
animal. ‘The damage, no doubt, remains the
same. Hut the inference from it, tbut was
more bitter than itself, is gone.
Tbe gain of recognizing any disadvantage
ns inevitable is often exaggerated, no doubt.
One wonders, for instance, at the nutriment
which the mourners oT tbe ancient world
must have derived fiom the everlasting
assurance that all men were mortal; and the
so-called “Convolutions” presented to them
often consisted of little else. Still, there is
such a thing as making a place in the mind
lor intvitable misfortune. Life’s ills are
marvelously diminished when we have sub
tracted (n m them the sense of unreasonable
ness. ‘My old friend is tired of me.” You
lave merely said twice over thut he is an
old frirnd—or rather, that he is not a new
friend. Old Irieuds. properly so-called, do
not grow tired of each otter, but they must
pass through many stages of mutual weari
ness before they come to that infinite variety
in tbe depth of every human nature which
no one can reach as he quits the stage of
novelty. We should no more fed disap
poinitd at our Iriend being sometimes tired
of us, than at his wishing to quit our house
for the seaside ; he will not wish to take up
his abode there.
Oor readier acquiescence in renouncing
all that is at once dchgbtful and fugitive hi
l ew frierdsLips, is not the only advantage we
should gain in rightly apprehending tbe
different seasons of a relation betwi en human
spirits witn their different needs. The pro
giess of time demands many changes in tbe
intercourse of friends, and we do not think
these changes are always obvious.
generally rpeognized that reserve nad inti
macy shnnld advance together. The great
need of a new friendship is openness As
we are invited to explore a new region, we
should not he taken past locked gates, and
arrested at the opening of tempting vista-'.
Without large confidence at this stage, a
friendship cannot begin to he. and vt do not
think the confidence is often mistaken, unless
the friendship is itself mistaken. It Is not
merely in self-revelation that a eonsidptable
freedom of in ercourse is at Ibis time d'sua
ble ; it is rpiite possih'e to use great frank
ness in putting the impression pioduced by
the rttbf-r party into wools without giving
offense. People who are beginning to know
each other may express without offense and
with great mutual adrantage many opinions
about each otliPt which, between old friends,
would lie extremely disastrous. It is inter
esting and helpful to know low we affect a
new friend ; ! it gives u« just that sense of our
own peisoralitv which is lo each one of us
the one constant and therefore hidden ele
ment in all experience ; we can bear even a
good deal of mortification if it be united to
this illuminative knowledge, and the mere
fact that onr friend continues our friend
while yer the ne(|uaintance is young enough
to die easily, preyrnls this mortification from
biing excessive.
We would make the most of that short
interval in which criticism imparts informa
tion and muses no reminiscence. It is
quite possible that one may l»e even star
tled at horning some fact about one’s self
obvious to t very hotly else, nnn though be
tween mature human beings such informa
tion cani o' often be made the basis of much
chunge, still it is a gain to be cnligh cued as
to the cutises of an impression that must
itself be more nr Itss obvious to the person
who routes it. kjvcn the oppnrent excep
(ions to this rule seem to us to enforce if.
Horace VVul|Kile was anything but grateful
to Gray, prohabty, for the flunk opinion on
his faults, which, according to his own ac
count, the poet seems to have given him
before they parted at Yenipe; ycl the ad
vantage to the tnau of fashion of learning
the impression he made on the man of geni
ns is evident in the humility which, amid his
mortification, he alludes to the fact in after
yt ors, when he had learned his own insignifi
cance and the true place of his alienuted friend.
We would not suggest to any one to make
u quarrel on u journey the opportunity of
this kind of candor, or indeed arty qoariel
at all. Still, we see that at its very worst,
ro long as it is not altogether out of season,
it has its modicum ol guiu .— Home Jour

mention that there has been a notnble addi

side ol him, (ol ronrse 1 urn '■peeking of sep

ticularly happy in such company. The dis
play is -eally comic. You may see men in
the crowd wpo are always stating in nt the
windows of these shops, laugh with a hearty
guffaw, and women, who will jnst take one
glance and then turn giggling nway. I have
said that the tablecloth was made for a small

prayer-meeting not far from Boston, a man
whose credit was not the best, and who was
somewhat no'ed for his failure to meet bis

the evening was, “What shall 1 do to be

quoted the passage, “\N hat shall I do to be
