BUIGIIT FUTURE.
Weary longings for a future
Bright with jo v in 1 p’aeo,
M nglc with om lo » dy vigils,
Bid them no to case;
Life without th nt would be cheerless,
Void of pleasant light.
Still we ll have those weary longings,
For a future br'ght.
Tr'als oft in life will meet us,
Come from cv t y side,
Fortun * often frowns upon us,
Grief with us abide;
But we’ll cease not our endeavors,
Working for the right.,
Struggling in the path of duty
For a future bright.
Though our paths be uninviting.
Rugged to the feet;
Though the skies be dark an l cloudy,
Cheerfully w *dl me t
All the trials in life’s pathway,
Work.ng day and night, %

Green *
Ou these occ.isi ns, Mary would blush
.nd hi te her lip. and be inwardiy an
n yed. but she was a woman ot too hiuen
[ii ide and good sense to make a d.splay
of her ch igrin ; and was really too go«.»u
n !tured and Christian a person to let it
change her feelings tow..id Joe, whom
she knew t . be. after all. very fond ol
her. and a very just man at heart. Al
ter a while, too. seeing that the fault
was pr< b bly curabie. >he bethought her
self how she sh uid proceed m order to
break him of his disagreeable h..bit.
Fortune lav red her. One day a lady,
( lie of her tin st valued friends called t
invite Joe and Mary to a tea-party at
her house.
"it will be a small affair,” she said,
but very pleasant, 1 think, \ouoniy
are wanting to make the c.rcle ol har
mony complete.”
“Well,” said Mary. “I will come Mrs
Vane; on < lie c tidal n.”
“Condition! is it come to this, that
you must make coud.tious '( Well, uty
dear, makey-Air demand.”
■•'ihe c luLtioii is that you will allow
me to furnish all the reireshoicuts.”
“Well, that is au <dd idea ! Mary,
uiy dear, i h pe you and n't mean to m
sinu-.te that l am getting pour.”
-No. Hattie, Dame Fortune has show
ered her favors uu you quite liberally.
But l have a n tion for this, which, u
y-»u please, i will u t divulge; only let
me have my way th.s once, just tor the
ddity of the th ng.”
“if anyb dy but you. Mary, had
made such a request of me, i certainly
sh -uld have taken offense. But i never
Could be angry with you. >So if it will
be any satislucti n to you —th ugh tor
the lire of me l can t imagine what
I y ur drift is—i will comply withy ur
c nditi ns. When may i expect my
i supplies ?”
“i et me se —t » m rr -w is my baking

y; u s i ii! be snppli and with bread, b.s

“Very wel. its all settled, then, and
will leave y u On the whole, this
arrangement >u ts me; it reliev sme of
a great respo isibility. f r y ur cookery
is well kn nvn to b particuf rly nice. So
good-bye till Ihursd iy.”
1 “Mmd you say nothing about this,
Hattie, to any one; it is a secret of
mine.*
• Wry well, as you say. I’ll keep uiuui.
Good-bye again, for y >u will h ive your
bends lull, and I must net iuterrupt
y «”
So off Mrs. A ane went, inward’y
w. uderiug what demure little Mary had
g t into her steady iittie head.
Everything came off tin that baking
day precisely as Mary c >uld have wished
it. Her bread was light and sweet, and
white as a >w-flake with justa gold an
brown line of crust surr muling it; her
cakes were perfection ; her biscuit crisp
and delicious. Then she knew that her
preserved fruits were n.ce; and if ever
there was asp mge-ctike more like solid
iff and froth, she would like to see it.
Everything w s sent in to Mrs Y r aneon
YVedn *sd <y afternoon. and she had all
Thursday to devote to her dress
Mary looked very pretty that night
at the tea party, her eves sh i>e with a
purpose, and she had just excitement
enough ab tut it to redden her checks in
a very becoming manner. Add to this
th it she was dressed with neatness and
taste, and you will be unwilling to be
lieve me when I say she was the belle ot
the occisi ui. Joe videntlr thought so
himself, for. strange to say, he made no
remarks up n her appearance that night
calculated to 1 wer her selfesteem; but
contrariwise, gazed at her from time to
time with the most profound satislac
ti :n.
But ‘-murder will out.” It came on
this occasion, when tiwy sat and iwn to
supper. Everybody was d.iiglited
there had n t been such an unexcep
tional “tea” in that neig'iborhoo 1 for i
1- rig time. Country people are very
t nd of their "teas , ttiay con pare . ne
with neither with admirable c »nn is
seurship. This one was a triumph.
“Mrs. Vane, you are the perfection of
bread ui ikers. lour b.scu.ts are quite
beautiful. Were ever such made be
fore ? How do you manage it. Mrs
V ane ? What lovely sponge-c ike.”
Mrs. Vane and Mary occasionally
changed glances and smiled, but nobody
ii tic. and it.
Joe h id bien bihaving so beautifully
ill the evening that Mary began to be
i fra id her plans h.drued. lie earn
ut ii w. h ovever, greatly to Mary's sat
si I ct i ■ n.
. "This is a feast, indeed.” he said.
"A fell iw is fortunate who has a wif
that can make such bread as this, to si\
11 thing of the sp nge cake , i can t see
why it is. Mary . y u improve, it istru
will give y u ered.t tor that, but
1 n't see wby it is that all women can
a t have the knack that Mrs Vane ha:
t cooking t<» perfect! n. If yu c »ul
ike such bread as this, Mary, y u*
nob nd would be a ha;py man.”
Mrs V ine 1 inked at .na y and Mary
ooked at Mrs Vane! Light had broken
upon the mind of the latter. it book
like a fl :sh of lightning, and then then
was an explosi n —n tif thunder, but
of 1 mgliter.
Joe io k dup amazed i e was a man
vh i p tted his dignity ci ormously
V\ hat did tlmse women mean to augh
, at a sobir, s risible remark o his?
i articularly. what d.d Mary mean, to so
rifle with the respect she owed her him
b nd ?
lie began to grow red. ind and Mrs
V ane saw it presently, and c .me to h.s
nd Mary's relief; for p >or Mary had
begun to he a little frightened at ii
•access of her own scheme. Pile did
ii t like Joe to be angry, at any r. te.
"Mr Starr,” saib Mrs. Vane, "Ia
truly glad that you like this excelleu
cookery, for it is all your wife s. I>\
your own showing, you ought to be ;
very happy man.”
Here the while con pany caught th
in feet i: n. and joined in the laugh against
Joe. It was of no use to get angrj
w.th so many pe< pie ;*so before long
Joe j inod the chorus himselt.
And so the tea party broke up with
die greatest good nature all round, aid
-joe went home with a less n he never
forgot—for it was the last time that hi:
fj: 9
wite ever heard any complaints from
him. He is now the most easily pleased
if any husband in ten miles around.
How is That lor High?
A few days since a waggish gentle
man was walking down ljruadway, N*w
