BY MBS. M. L. BAILEY.
Every day bath teil and trouble,
Every heart hath care ;
Meekly bear thine own full measure,
And thy brother's share.
Fear not, shrink not, though the burden,
Heavy to thee prove ;
God shall fill thy mouth with gladness,
" And thy beart with love.
I’az;zi:’:}' enduring, ever
Let thy spirit be
Bound by links, that cannot sever,
To humanity.
Labor! wait! thy Master perished
Ere his task was done ;
Count not lost thy fleeting moments,
Life hath but begun. :
Laé'zor ! and t!t)h:h seed thou sowest,
~ Water with thy tears; .
God ifir&m, he will give thee .
Answer to thy prayers.
Wait in hope! Though yet no verdure
Glad thy longing eyes,
Thou shalt see the ripening harvest
Garnered in the skies.
Laber ! wait ! thonugh midnight shadows
Gsatier round thee here,
Ani the storm above thee lowering,
Fill thy heart with fear—
‘ Wait in hope! the morning dawneth,
When the night is gone, .
And a peaceful rest awaits thee,
When thy work is done.

Mrs. Partington says she can’t under
stand these market reports. She can un
derstand how cheese can be lively, and
pork can be active, and feathers drooping
—that is if it's raining ; but how whis:%v
. can be steady, oniet, or spirits dull,
she can’t see ; neither how lard can be firm
in warm weather, nor iron unsettled, nor
potatoes Jepressed, nor flotr rising—unless
there had been yeast in it—and sometimes
it would not rise then.

“You will please to observe,” said old |
Mr. Lambwell, 25 be led us through bis |
school the other day, ‘‘that the boys are |
required to display the utmost attention to |
questions and discipline, and in a short
time become divested of that most annoying |
)R- : : |
disposition to ‘teach each other; in short, |
they soon settle down in all the gravity of f
mature years, under the whole system I |
have introduced.” t
We at this moment arrived in front of t
several boys, who were standing around a |
bucket of water, and one had just charged |
his mouth with the contents of a tin cup, ; ‘
while the cld gentleman was stooping to |
recover his pen from the floor, when an- |
other boy, passing behind, snapped Lis fin- |
ger (tuietly behind the boy's ear, causing ’
him, by a sudden start, to eject the con- |
tents over the pedagogue’s hbald pate.— i
Starting upright, with his face and hair |
dripping, the master shouted— |
“Who done that ¥’ '
The party unanimously cried out— |
“Jim Gum, sir.” | '
“Jinf Gun, you rascal, what did you do |
that for " : § |
Jim, appalled at the mischief he had |
done, muttered out that it was not his fault, -
but Tom Owen had snapped him. (
This changed the direction of old Lamb- |
well’'s wrath, and, shaking his hand por-g
tentously over Owen’s head, he asked—
Did you snap Gun ?”
““The culprit, trembling with fear, mur
mured—
““Yes, sir, I snapped Gun, but didu’;
know that he was loaded I i
