The grass is heavy with the dew, \ The sky is bright above her, The sunshine lingers on her path, The song -birds seem to love her; They flit about her through the air, And sing their sweetest praises, The grasses spring to kiss her feet, The clover and. the daisies.

A14ye who claim life's pleasures vain, Have never known what bliss is, Unless your youthful lips have felt The country school ma'am's kisses. Ah, well do I remember when, In other summer weather, Fair little Maud and I trudged down The country road. together; < Herdinner-pail swung on her arm, The meadow -larks were singing, While from its leafy perch the thrush Had set the hedge -rows ringing.

BY REV. JOHN HALL, D. ia,„ Ns Y. During the last three years we have seen Some notable fortunes . wrecked. They were hastily acquired, perhaps; they were held in unskilful or rash hands; they canae into uncertain and stormy seas and they went to pieces. It is almost as difficult to retain as to requiremeans in a community that is pervaded by the spirit of adventure and speculatieri ; and many a man who made Money by slow profits at five or six per cent. throws it away in abortive pursuit of nine or ten per cent. dividends. A shipwreck appeals powerfully to the imagination -the -gallant vessel- surely, one of the noblest of man's creations- ' fighting the the tenapesthke a living thing and, in vaba, groaning out its agony, yielding to superior force that breaks its bones, and the helpless human beings - their voices of despair drowned in the louder bowling of the storm -sinking into "the yeast of waves." "Unknelled, uneoffined, and unknown." But there are other wrecks -not chron- icled. in the Exchange, not noted at Lloyd's, as tragical and as terrible, yetas one may say reverently, preventible -of which we crave leave to say a word, founcledsupon reading, observation, and the study of that. Book which, like its Divine Author; searches the heart and tries the reins." A well-to-do, sanguine, pushing man selects a lady whom he thinks likely to suit him. He pictures her as she will look at the head of his table, or on his arra or at -an assembly. He takes a look at her family, surroundings, and capabil- ities, perhaps a glance also at her pecuni- ary prospects. ''Old Blank is said. to be well off -he made a good thing out of that 'Mica and Oil Cempany,' of which he was Vice -President.' Yes, on the whole, she will do. So he sets to work with attentions, flowers and pretty speeches, in the course of which he really begins to feel a real earnestness, which he considers love; and at length he secures his prize and is married. Now, to begin with, thereis a risk of a wreck here from error. as to the basis of the home. The very foundations are weak. The ship's keel is defective. This khad of affection has its roots in self. It is not what the young lady is in herself, but what she can be to him; it is not her inherent worth, but her worth as his -the minister to his consequence, dignity, en- joyment and comfort that he estimates. It is from his side a kind of partnership. He estimates her as he does big hotel, his horse, his house, his hose, which when ceasing to be service- able; he can dispose of. He is in danger from the very nature. of his ideas and plans, of making shipwreck of his home. But hoping the best, and judging him most charitable at this stage, let as follow him into wedded life. Marriage, to any true wonaan, is no mere business Oa -trier - ship. It is everything. Her nature craves for sympathy, affection. confidence. She gives all and believes she is receiving all. And she cannot strike out, and select,and originate, and divert herself in a hundred sources of active interest open to men. After a honeymoon, more or less protract- ed and joyous, the husband settles into his normal life. His main concerns are again out of doors in business or pleasure, more or less legitimate. The nice atten- tions and. the gentle considerations need'. ed to akin his wife he sees no need for, now that ate is his. What more is needed? She cannot be his any more than she is; and what would she want? Is she not Mrs. Dives? That ought to satisfy d so blesses her, and vaguely won. if all other women are in their deep - lives so lonely as she is. This is one d. of shipwreck The vessel, indeed, an wit ng da at, he or he doses at home. His wife is not al- ways strong; not always scattering sun- shine; not able, with babies and theirat- dant burdens, to be bright "to order" so he lets her alone. ' Bat in thein- als, old gentleraert friends, who knew , perhaps in her summer life, cMne und her. They are net at liberty to egard the forrias of gentle civility.

Here is a translation of a matrimonial advertisement that • re ently appeared in the Israelite of Mayen e; "I would like to ma ry my daughter, who is educated, omesticated and comely, to an energeti business man of good family. I would transfer I to him my business, which has been established for many years. Fortune desirable, but not absolutely necesElary. Ap licants may send, in confidence, their ad- dresses and photogr phs to No. 824, care of this- journal, loth of which will be returned to non-suc essful applicants. Anonymous letters wi 1 receive no atten- tion." 1 This is decidedly fresh. In America we are accustomed to Young men adver- tising for wives, or stoune women for husbands; but we ha e yet to learn of parents advertising t eir daughters for sale just like any or mary commodity. Mayence has, therefor, taughtus a new idea which may coma nd itself to fath- ers who despair . of wi ning soris-in-laws by the old-fashioned nleans.

The other day he waxed 4t once vindictive and ingenious, and i solved to protect the sanctity of his hearth and home by an acute stratagem. n purpose of this idea he mingled arsenic in , a bottle of wine, and placel it where any ' burglar would see it, and, unless practical be- lievers in total abstinence, would drink therefrom, and • surely die. Now, the wife of this intelligent Sanduf3kian is an orderly woman, and when she found that bottle of wine placed in a conspicu- ous position, she said that " was just like John; he neveriaid have any neat- ness, and she knew' it.when she married him." Then she took, the bottle and put it m the cellar with eight dozen other bottles, and arranged theth neatly in rows, and conteinplated her work with innocent pride. Then she told her hus- band about it. Since he eliausted his vocabulary of profanity, he has been spending all his leisuie time in looking 'at these bottles, and trying to recognize the one which ,he prepared for the poor burglar; and u less he can solve the problem soon h expects a brain fe ver.
