BEAUTIFUL THINGS.
Beantifnl faces arc those that wear,
It matters little if dark or fair.
Whole-souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show.
Like crystal panes where heart-fires glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs of birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest, brave aud true,
Uoment by moment the loug day through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
On heavenly ministries to and fro,
Down lovel.est ways if God wills it so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens of homely care
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless,
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose fountain only a tew may guess.
Beantiful twilight at set oi son.
Beautiful goal ot race well run,
Beautiful rest with work well done.
Beautiful graves where grasses creep.
Wliere brown leaves fall, where drifts lie
deep,
Over worn hands—O.beautiful sleep !

ON THE EVE OFMATTIMONY
looked around and discovered a young
lady standing in the door way. She
nodded slightly to the horse reporter,
Rod that individual returned the ealnta
tion with a pleasant tuile-aud-a-hnlf
over-eight-hurdles smile, whose gran
dear ot expanse would alone have made
it noticeable.
"You are right this time, madame,'
he said. "This is the exact spot where
the seething bfnin of the trained jonrna
list proceeds to bubble, and the lances
ofThought that pierce with unerring
Rim the brazen helmets t of Wrong are
ever held in coucliant poise by strong
arms ready to launch them forth at the
signal of danger."
"Papa doesn't know I am np here,"
said the vision of loveliness, "bat mam
madoes. The very minute I told her
that I was going to see an editor, she
said waejit the best thing to do, hut when
I got right to the door, I just thought I
should die."
"Yon dou't appear to he in danger of
immediate dissolution," replied the
horse reporter.
"Oh, of coarse, I don't mean exactly
that,'' 6aid the young lady, "but I waa
awfully nervous, yon know—I was aj
ways that way—and when I was a lit
tie girl, papa used to say that the only
way to govern me was by kindness."
"Well,, we'lljbe gentle with yon," re*
plied the personal friend of Rarns.
''Would yon like to read the Hawkins
ville Clarion, or the Cohoes Freeman I'>
pointing to a pile ot exchanges.
fc No, I don't care about it, thark
you," was the reply. "You editors must
have a hard time managing all the peo
ple who come np here."
"There is a managing editor for that
purpose," said the horse reporter.
"How nice! And do all these gentle
men edit 1"
-Yes."
"I'm going to be married next week,'*
said the young lady. ["Ain't; it fanny?''
"Qaite ludicrous, no doubt," was the
reply. I
''And I came op here sho continued.
«'to see if yon would put a nice notice
of the affair in the paper. Will you do
itf"
"Certainly," said the liirse reporter.
"Would yon like to have itreferred to as
'another one pf those delightful events
in which the happiness of trusting love
finds glad fruition in wedded bliss," or.
'the marriage bells rang oat merrily
last evening, telling to star-lit skies a
joyful tale of lowe's final triumph ?"'
Both these sentences are kept in type,
And yon can have your choice."
*'I rather like the last one," said the
young lady. "It is more tenderly beau
tifnl. Don't you think so ?"
"Yes," replied the horse reporter,
"there is a sort of curfew-will-not-ring
to-night tinge Jjabout it that lays over
"HOME, SWEET HOME?
our feet, there are charms that woo us
to foigetfuluesa. There is much music
iu the ruuuing •tn-am and beauty in
the flowers that grow upon its banks.
Some German writer, I bare forgotten
who, calls flowers the stars of earth,
and stars the flowers of heaven. Fair
and radiant flowers they are, and shed
their brightness on the smoke wreathed
city, but iu their matchless, softened
and mellowed light seetu to linger more
pleasantly ou green fields and waving
corn.
Alone in London ! Dreary and deso
late reality, that swelled almost tobnrs
ting a weary and aching heart. The
stranger gathered his thin cloak aronud
his ehivetiug form, and drew his hat
over his face with a sensitive sfaiinking
from the crowd that rudely jostled pant
him. He was alone in Loudon, and
very poor, not even having a shilling
to procure a scanty supper.
Somewhere in a dark part of the city,
where the gas lights were few. up many
pair of stairs, was the garret in which
he slept, but iu it there was nothing
save the darkness, one broken chair
and a wretched bed with its scanty cov
ering.
When he entered this desolate cham
her in nights like this, an unseen com
pany surrounded him. the spirits of the
viewless air ■, and in the wailings of the
wind, they told him strange mysterious
tales of wretchedness and dread, until,
half wild with dark imaginings, he
rushed forth in the night and in the
pelting storm. Thas through the chit]
ing sleet and rain lie walked the streets
looking into the hard faces of the pass
ers by and wondering if in all Loudon
there was another man who had no one
to care tor him, no one to love him and
I theu lie thought bow deliciously strange
it would seem to liiui/—a stranger and
wanderer for many years,—to he loved.
He hoped the blessed light would
dawn npon him, hat in the darkness of
i this uight it seemed a great way off
! the cloud of poverty and gloom that
wrapped his heart was too cold and
deep, he feared, for hnman sympathy
and love to penetrate. He seemed to
see before him, Fute, with weird fin
gers weaving the mystic web of his
lonely destiny, and as he watched the
phantom's hands with feverish intensity
he wondered if, at some future day,
that a mantle of brightness might fall
upon him instead of a pall. A strain

He, the homeless wanderer, hod writ
ten ''Home. Sweet Homs."
He stood oat in the darkness and
night, listening to his song, the child
of his own heart and brain, and looking
in at the window of ''Home, Sweet
Home," knew that in all the world
there was no'hotne for him.
The song ended. He sat down on
the stoue steps of the stately mansion,
with the rain beatiugheavily upon him,
aud burying his face in his hands, wept
>n the bitterness of his heart.
Years passed away, and still he was
a homeless wanderer. Often in the
streets of London, Berlin, and Paris,
he heardwHome, Sweet home." which
in all lands and all hearts had become a
household word.
Later in life be became Consul to Tn
nis, and died a stranger in a strange
land. Never. .ave in his dreams, had
John Howard Paine kuown the bliss of
"Home, Sweet Home."
