CREEPING UP THE STAIRS.
In the softly falling twilight
Of a weary, weary day,
With a quiet atop 1 entered
Where the ehildren were M play ;
vas breeding o'or some trouble
When a little voice name ringing,
"Me is ereepin' up i1io stain."
Ah I It touched the tenderest heart-
striuga
With a breath and force
And tenth melodies awakened

Alia I tuned to see our (Buffing,
All forgetful of my outs,
When 1 saw the little creature
Slowly creeping up the stairs.
Step by step she bravely clambered
On her little hands and knees,
Reaping up a constant chattering '
Like a magpie in the trees,
TiII at last she reached the topmost,
When o'er all hor world's titlarks
She delighted stood a victor,
After °reaping up the stairs.
Fainting heart behold an image
Of mane brief and struggling life,
Whose best prizes may be captured
With a noble, earnest strife;
Onward, upward, resetting ever,
Bending to the weight of cares,
Hoping, fearing, still expecting,
We go creeping up the stairs.
On their steps may be no carpet,
By their side may be no rail ;
Hands ani knees may often pain us,
And the heart may almost fail ;
Still above there is the glory
Which no sinfulness impairs,
With its rest and joy forever,
After creeping up life's stairs.
GOOD MANNERS.
At home and in society
We try and do our duty,
And make our lives as maids and wives
The better for their beauty.
We study art with all our heart,
We flaunt our silken banners;
And yet, of all the graces small,
There's nothing like good manners,
The pleasant smile, the gentle tone,
The eyes that glow and glisten
When others tell a story well,
And we in deference listen 1
To grant each day the "right Of way,"
That elders may precede us ;
Give soft replies, e'en sacrifice
Our wills, should others need us.
To spare the tender hearts at home ;
To make their pathway brighter ;
To cheer and bless in tenderness,
That burdens may be lighter.
EllOW thie one thiug ; good manners
spring
Op from the heart, tny neighbor ;
They thrive and blow, as lilies grow,
By dint of loving labor.
Oh, womankind, though you may dress
In satins and in laces.
Or only wear the garments fair
That would become the Graces,
When you would shine inscribe this line
Upon your silken banners ;

Maggie Symington tells in the Dublin
Warden the following pretty fancies
about the pansy ; I have found him, and
you can do so if you follow the direc-
tions.
Have you ever heard the pansy story ?
Listen. Every pansy that grows repre-
sent a whole family, father, jmother, two
daughters and stepdaughters. So they
say in France. and for this reason the
pansy is ealled the stepmother. When I
tell you how to find the different mens•
bars of this interesting fainily you will,
I know, all be seeking for pansies that
you may prove the truth of my words.
First of all you must know that the
petals are the colored leaves of the flower
and the sepals leaves of the calyx; the
calyx is the green outward covering or
leaf like envelope of a flower. The
pansy has two colored leaves, these are
the step children. By looking at the
back you will find that they have only
one sepal between them. These are the
step -daughters, who have only one chair,
Or sepal, to sib down upon. Tbe two
marked side petals have a sepal each ;
these are the two own daughters and
each has a chair to herself. The fifth
leaf, the largest and brightest of all, is
the step-mother,and she has two chairs
or sepals. She cannot sit on two chairs
at °nue, so one mush be for her old mau,
but where is he 2 Ab, where I Now do
just what I tell you and you will discover
him. Carefully pull away the step-
daughters, the real daughters and the
step -mother, and then you will see him–
a funny little old man, with a comforter
round hie nook, eating huddled up with
his feet in a hath.tub.
