... looettv. L I NE S. BY WILLIAM CULLIN DBRYANT. The M;ay sun sheds an amber li.1;ht On new-leaved woods and lawns between; But she who, with a smile more bright, Welcomed and watched the springing green, Is in her grave. The fair white blossoms of the wood In groups beside the pathway stand; But one, the gentle and the good, Who cropped them with a fairer hand, Is in her grave. Upon the ...

... looctru. STRIKE THE IRON WHILE IT'S HOT! Ir a project you've in view, And would mould it firm and true, Be decided-dally not! Push it forward with a will, Let not aught your ardour chill- Strike the iron while it's hot!

... -- 10 actru. THE PEASANT'S PRIDE. SHE left her father's busy home- A lass of eighteen years- She heard no more her sisters' laugh, Or her brothers' blithsome cheers.

Her cot is on a dreary moor, Where sound of human -life For hours at time will never ...

... VactriE. I HAVE NOT LIVED IN VAIN. I i&HVE not lived in vain; Were it alone for this That I have softened others' pain, And shared in others' bliss; That, in return for kindly words, I've caught some looks of pleasure Shining on me from truthful hearts- Hearts that a queen might treasure.
