fwf $ (tarn. “FI.VIS.” BY H. S. COREY. ■ '■ •■■■ Ilush, darling, do not speak! It will not soothe the aching There is no balm in idle words When hearts like mine are breaking. Poor little foolish heart! It was not worth the winning, You should have put it from you, dear, Even at love's beginning. It only had itself to give— A poor and paltry blessing, What should you care for a woman's love, Or a woman's warm caressing? Yes, take me in your arms! My forehead throbs with fever, Poor head! its heaviness no more Is pillowed thus forever. So tired, but let it rest! Your slow hand cools its burning, Ah, could its touch but charm away The pain beyond returning! Not wise, like yours, and yet Its fond and foolish dreaming, May hold a higher wisdom than Your manhood's colder scheming. My hand, too. lies in yours With sad and quiet clasping: To-morrow, and its warmth shall bo How far beyond your grasping! A little, worthless hand, No aid nor comfort bringing; I do not blame you darling, for The frail thing from youdiinging. To-morrow, and for aye It slips from out your holding, And through a wide and selfish world Goes empty to its folding. Hush, darling, do not weep, Nor wake our sleeping sorrow! There will be time for storm and tears ' And bitterness to-morrow. Only bend down your lips And kiss me without speaking! I wonder, dear, if under all Your strong heart, too, is aching? I wonder if twill grieve To know, when all is over, Tour “little girl'’ is yours no more Forever and forever? I know that you would sav; But hush, and only kiss me! lust for a little lonesome while Your empty arms shall miss me. A little while ycur heirt Shall waste itself with fretting; But time shall soothe, and bring to you Il'S kindest gift, forgetting. And I—what matters it, Since our sweet bond must sever, Where or how far I drift away, * So I drift outward ever?

Ay, darling, bend your neck Down to my tender clinging, This one last night of army nights, Such bitter morrow bringing! Securely cradled here, Lulled by your mUte caressing, My heart lies hushed beneath the doom Its lust warm drops outpressing. . Poor little bankrupt heart, Whose only wealth lies wasted! Wlnsconc full cup drops to the dust With all its wine untasted! ■ ♦ " , ■ ___________ I ntw. -What sobriety conceals, drunk cnties? reveals. -A man of sense may be in haste but never in a hurry. -An author's work is not always the mirror of his mind. -It is easier to stand on an eminence than to climb up to it. -Beware of bad women, and be careful how you trust a good one. -Bo open for correction : if you are in the wrong, frankly acknowl edge it. -Ono great cause of failure in life is giving other people credit for more than they know. -Like the tree, we should constantly be growing outward toward men and upward toward God.

-Look not upon sin, lest it tempt thee; tasto it not, lest it wounl tbee; toueh it not, lest it , kill thc«. —ls you would be wise, learn justly to estimate heaven and earth, the soul and body, time and eternity. -The merit of actions consist not in doing extraordinary actions bht in doing ordinary actions et- ■ traordinarily well. -The public character of a tnan is the tinsel worn at court; .his private character is the service of; £old kept at his bankers. -Pleasure is seldom found where it is sought Our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks. -Keep doing always doing.— Wishing, intending, murmuring, talking, sighing, nnd repining, arc idle and profitless employments. -It is a miserable thing to live in snspense; it is the life of a spider. Face your fate boldly whatever that miw bo,- and know at once the best or the worst. v —ln the natural history of insects, the grub turns into a butterfly -. but it often ocean in the. natural his- • of man..that the uhtterSy tutus Into • grub.
