(Live to do Cooch
Live to do good the iroH should be,
But one united family,
Hnn Vmlv brotherhood;
Where each should for his neighbor feel,
Helping along the general weal,
And universal good.
But selfish aims too oft intrude,
And thoughtless words, or action rddc,
Engender enmityj
And hence the scenes of foolish strife,
Marring the happiness of life,
Which every day we sce.
'Tis sad to find the evil seed
So thickly sown, the noxious weed
Its baleful presence speed;
And witness passion's harsh control
Crush the affection of the soul
Beneath its iron tread.
tiivo to do good an idle wail
Is useless action must prevail,
A living pattern teach;
Invoke example's patient aid,
And that to which you would persuade
Practice as well as preach.
live to do good if festering sores
Humanity with tears deplores,
Strive all you can to heal;
Direct the young, and comfort age;
Boldly for right and truth engage,
And all the suffering fei
Live to do good, and kindness show
To neighbor, stranger, friend or foe,
Kor think the task is hard;
Ileav'n will bestow its righteous meed,
And every earth forgotten deed
Shitil bring a rich reward.

doubted.
' O 1
At thc age of eighteen she had many
suitor?, hut as she never cave a serious
thought to more than two, we will fol
low her example and discarding all ex
cept those favored ones, consider their
relative claims.
If this were any other than a true
story, I should certainty rise an artist's
privilege, and aim to produce at effect
by making a strong contrast between
those two favored individuals. If I
could have my way one should be a
poor genius, and somewhat of a hero,
the other a wealthy fool, and somewhat
cf a knave.
But thc truth is
Our poor genius was not mticli of a
genius nor very poor. He was by pro
fession a music teacher, and he otild
live very comfortably in exercise there
of without any hope, however, of ever
attaining to wealth.
Katie could not help loving Frank
Minot, and he knew it. He was ccr
tain she prefcred his society to that of
Mr. Wellington wkowi alone he saw fit
to honor with the appellation of rival.
This Mr. "Wellington (his compan
ions caned him the "duke,") was no idi
ot or humpback, as I could have wish-
Cd him to be, in order to make a story
On the contrary, VM a man 0f scnse
fvliicatirm rul !-..,.. t n
.iiues mis, nis income was Riiffinipl
to enable him to live superbly. Also
he was considered two or three deo-rees
handsomer than Mr, F. Minot
Therefore the only thing on which
Frank had to depend, was the power ho
possessed over Katie's fivninathiea and
affections. The "duke" although just
the man for her in every other sense
heing blessed with a fortune, good looks
and common sense-had never been
able to draw these out; and thc amiable
conceited Mr. Frank was not willing to

when he pressed her to deeide his fate,

Oh, Frank! i am sorry mhw we avu

"Sorry?"
Yes -for we niust part how
"Part!" repeated Frank, turning
pale.
It was
evident he had not " expected
this.

her eves with another piteous sigh,

voice and talked to her until she the

"Katie," said he, then, a burst of pas

"You

Frank.

He toc-lt. her hand gased a. moment
tenderly and sorrowfully upon her beau
tiful, tearful face; then clasped her to
his bosom.
She permitted the embrace. Sh
even gave way to the impulse of the in
stant, and twined her arms about his
iaeck. But in a moment her resolution
came to her aid, and she pushed him
away with a sigh.
"Shall I go?" he articulated. :
A feeble yes fell from her revering
lips.
And an instant later, she was lying
upon the sofa, sobbing and weeping pas
sionately -alone.
To tear the tenacious root ot love out
of her heart, had cost her more than
she could have anticipated, and
the certainty of a golden life of luxury
proved but a poor consolation, it seemed
for the sacrifices she had made.
She lay long upon the sofa, sobbing
and weeping passionately. Gradually
iier grief appeared to exhaust itself.
Her tears ceased to flow and at length
her head was pillowed on her arm, and
i her face was half hidden in a flood of
beautiful curls.
The struggle was over. The agony
was passed. She saw Mr. Wellington cn
ter, and arose cheerfully to receive
him. His manners pleased her; his sta-
tion anJ frt" fascinated her more.

her, and she could not repress a sigh!
There was a magnificent wedding:
splendidly attired, dazzling the eye with
her beauty, with everything around her
swimming in the charmed atmosphere
of fairy-land, Kaitc gave her hand to
the rcan ker ambition not her love

short Katie in time became magnificently
miserable, splendidly unhappy.
Then a chanqe became apparent in
her husband, lie conld not Ion re
main blind to the fact that his love
was not returned. Ho sought the com
pany of those whose gayety might lead
him to fonret the sorrow and desnair of
his soul; and impelled by powerful long
ings for love, went astray to warm his
heart by a strange fire.
A.
Katie saw herself now iti the midst
of a gorgeous desolation. She reproach
ed her husband deserting her thus; and
he answered her with angry taunt:?.
"You do not care for mc," he cried
"then why do you complain that I
bestow elsewhere the affections you
have met with coldness?"
"But it is ong sinful," iatie re
monstrated, "Yes; I know it!" said her husband
fiercely "It is the evil frfcit of an
evil seed. And who sowed that seed-?
Who gave use a hand without a heart
who devoted me to thc fate of a loving,
unloved husband? Nay, do not weep,
and clasp your hands, and gigh for I
say nothiug you do not doserte to
hear."
"Very well," said Katie, calming her
self; "I will not say your reproaches
are undeserved. But granting that I
am tfceold, dcccittul thing you call me
you know this state of things cannot
continue"
"Yes, I know it."
"Weil?"
Mr. Wellington's brows cathercd
darkly; his eyes flashed with determin
ation; U13 lips curled with scorn.
1 have made up my mind' said he,
"that we sbould not live together any
longer. Iam tired of being called the
husband of the splendid Mrs. Welling

shall shine in yours. I will place nores

"But the worldF ' said Katie, trem-

her husband, bitterly, "This marriage

weeping passionately. Gradually her
grief appeared to exhaust itself; her
breathing became calm. Hot head lay
peacefully upon her arm, over Which
fiwnt. hor dishevelled tresses until
with a start she cried-
"Frank? oh, Frauk, comeback!"
"Here I ami" said a soft voice by her
side.
She raised her head, bhc opened
her astonished eyes. Frank was stand
ing before her!
"You have been asleep," he said,
smiling kindly.
"Asleep?"
"And dreaming, too, I should say
not pleasantly, either."
"Dreaming?" murmured Katie, "and
is it all a dream?"
"I hope so," replied Frank, taking
her hand. "I came back to plead my

where I left you asleep."
"Oh, what a horrid dream!" mur
mured Katie, rubbing her eyes. "It
was so like a terrible reality that 1

aked Frank. "I hope then you did

"Xo I thought I gave my hand

"Then if you gave me your hand; it
would not be without your heart."
"Xo, Frank," said Katie, her bright
eyes beaming happily through tears
"and here it is."
She placed her fair hand in his he
kissed it in transport.
And soon there was a real marriage;
not a splendid, but a happy one; not
followed by a life of luxury, but by a
life of love and contentment; and that
was the marriage of Frank Minot and
Katie Yale.

One day an honest Hibernian strolled

would stay too. Accordingly he re

to sec how thc waters would move.
Soon a venerable man approached him, j

the beconer, who rose as he approached,
and shading his mouth with his hand, as
he leaned half over into thc aisle, said

The horror stricken functionary tot

stranger was left to his own reflections
upon the deficiency of the entertain

'Good Advice.
The more quietly and peaceably we
go t on, the better for our neighbors. In
nine cases out of ten the wisest policy
is, if one cheat you, to quit dealing with
him; if he be abusive, to quit his com

that Robody will believe him; no mat

let him alone. There is nothing better
than this cool, calm quiet way of deal
