CONTENTMENT IN NATURE.
I wou'il not chnnge my joys for those
Of Emperors and Kings.
What lias my gentle Mend, the rose
Told them, if aught, do you suppose —
The rose tint lelis me things.
What secrets have they had with trees?
What romps with grassy spears?
What know they of the mysteries
Of butterihesaml honey bees.
Who whispers in my oars?
What says the sunbeam unto tliom?
What talcs have brooklets fold?
Is there within their diadom
A single rival to the gem
Tho dewy daisies hold?
What sympathy have they with birds,
Whoso songs are songs of mine?
Do they e’er hear, as though in words
’Tivas lisped the message of the herds
Of grazing, lowing kino?
Ah no! Give me no lofty throne,
But just what nature yields.
Let me but wander op, alone
If needs be, so that nil my own
Are woods and dales and fields.
John Bang, in Harper’s Weekly.
Oh this ringing in tho ears!
Oh, this humming in the head!
Hawking, blowing, snnffmg, gasping,
Watering eyes and throat a rasping,
Health impaired and comfort fled,
Till I would that I were dead!
What folly to suitor so with catarrh
troubles, when the worst cases of chron¬
ic catarrh in the head are relieved and
cured hy the mild, clen-ing and healing
properties of Pr. Sage’s Catarrh Reme¬

What Is a Wife
The pretty school teacher foi a
little advertisment, had asked her
class for the best, original definition
of “wife’’ and the boy in the corner
promptly responed, “A rib ’.
She looked at him reproachfully
aud noded to the boy with dreamy'
eyes, who seemed anxious to say
something.
“Sian's guiding star arid guar
dian angel,” ho said in respouce to
the nod.
‘•A helpmeet,” put in a flaxen
haired girl.
“One who sooihes man in adver¬
sities,’’ suggested a demure little
girl.
“And spends his money when he's
flush,” added tho incorrigible boy
in tho corner.
There was a lull, and the pretty
dark-eyed girl said slowly,
“A wife is the envy of spintors.”
“ One who makes a bustle,” was
the next suggestion.
“And keeps him from making a
fool of himself,” put in another
girl.
“Some one for a man to find fault
with when things go wrong,” said a
sorrowful little maiden.
“Stop right there,” said tho pret¬
ty school teacher. That's the best
definition.
Litter ilio sorrowful little maiden
si lled up to her aud asked:
“Aren’t you going to marry that
handsome man who calls for you
nearly every day?”
"Yes dear,” she repdvj, "but
