[CONTRIBU'rED.j List to the munnurinp; tree -tops, As the wind gently kisses theirleaves ; Sweetest of secrets they're telling Borne to theidby the warm, perfumed breeze. Stories of gardens of roses, of flowers of delicate hue, Their blossoms like glimpses of heaven, Their tendrils all gleaming with dew. I, eager, reach upward and listen, Have they not a sweet song- for me 7 Are my sensetoo gross and imperfect - To receive the divine melody? Nay, the whisper- grows louder arid. stronger,.. Full of musin it quivers and swells, To toy soul with sweet eestacv Chimea clearer than silver-aoued bells, !a We have rioted far in the South land 'Mortgat fields hill of glorious flowers, With richest perfumes we are laden, Which we gathered from rose -scented bowers. Then that, landl of loveliness leaving- ; Northward we wended our way; blany weary-svorn, foreheads caressing, Making glad with our frolicsome play. From the braws of the loveliest maidens. We tossed golden tresses in nport ; And we came as a blessing from Heaven late wards where pale Death held his court. The iroti bands of pain we unloosened, Breathed on hot, fevered brows a caress, Raised the sufferer's heart to the Giver By the power He has given to bless. , Then:forth from the sickqnom we wandered, Far we roamedo'er plain and o'er hill, Through: the golden cornfields we murmured,.

A little group of pioneers was sitting in the Palace Rotel, San Francisco, the other evening, discussing the labor problem. Times in California," said Senator Langford, " are growing worse and worse every year for the wage -worker. The Chinese evil is ruinous to white labor. When I came here in 49, high rates were paid for all kinds of labor." " What is the highest price, Senator, you have ever known paid ail unskilled laborer inCalifornia ?" inquired one of the group. "Five dollars an hour." "Tell us about it". The Senator leaned back in his chair and told the following: The usual excitement prevailed, as the Panama steamer came to her moor- ing at Long wharf, San Francisco, one September day in 1849. Shortly after the steamer's arrival two young men walked up the wharf, valise in hand, and entered the Oregon House, at the head of the wharf. The house F- was built on piles, to which boards were nail- ed to within about six inches of the house proper. The young men sat down on 011Q of the two boxes which adorned th et barroom. While they were enjoying a smoke, one of those jovial fellows who are the life of all small gatherings entered and called for the regular sapply. He asked Jim, the. proprietor, if heahad' his hired men. Jim replied in the negative, stating that it was impossible to get meta although he had offered them $5 an hour.' The young men overhearing the conversation, informed him that they would 'work for that figure, and asked what the job might be. "'Bailing out my cellar. Take off your coats and pitch in.' "The trapdoor leading to the cellar was raised and the young men then commenced their labors. After they had raised a little perspiration the jovial fellow appeared, and seeing them hard at it, informed the boys, who soon to give him a'soldo to go and buy you cigar with.' I gave the dog a coin, and. he presently returned bringing a cigar, which he held crossways in his nouth until I took it from him. Sent again and again, he brought me three or four more cigars from the tobacco -shop. At length the dog's demeanor changed, and he gave vent to his impatience bytwo or three low whines. What does He want - now?' 4.1. asked. !Ile wants you to give him two Soldi to go to the baker's and -buy bread for himself.' I gavehim a two-soldo piece, and in a few minutes the dog returned with a small loaf ,of bread which he lai4 at my feet, at the same time: gazing wistfully in my face. - 'He won't take it until you give him leave,' said another bystander. I gave the requisite. permission, and the dear animal seized the loaf and disappeared with it in his mouth, and did. not again make his appeariseme before I left the city. He always does like this,' said the sta.nders-by, 'whenever he, sees a stranger in Ferentino.'" Country Life in France. keeps it under lock and key. And if crowded the house. she doesn't want to bring down her gray " ' The young men worked hard and hairs in sorrow to the grave, she must I fast.

What would yau have done if you had beee in my place s' I said I would have kicked him out of doors. The good old doctor -a man of peace in all respects -- looked at me with a queer expression far a maraca, and then remarked, thoegatfidly, 1 wish you'd been there The Wonderful Lamp. A little, ragged errand -boy iwas busy one day in the city of London, with a piece of chalk in his hand, trying to write on a wooden gate this verse from the Bible: " Thy word is a lamp to iny feet." lie was so busy with, his work that he did not notice a kind -looking old gentleman, who, after walking slowly past him twice, returned, and stood be hind watching him. "M -y," said the little fellow, repeat- ing the letters aloud, as he wrote them with the ehalk ; "f -double e --t, feet." "Well done, my little man, well done," eaid the old gentleman. " Where did you learn that ? " At the ragged school, sir," said the boy, who was half frightened, thinking perhaps that the old gentleman would hand him over to the police for writing on the gate. "Don't be afraid, my boy. I'm not going to hurt you. So you learned that text in the ragged school? Do you .know what it means ?" "No sir," said the boy. " What is a lamp ?" "A lamp? Why, a lamp! It's a thing that gives light." " And what is the word here spoken of ?" It's the Bible, sir." "That's right. Now how can the Bible be a lamp and give light ?" "1 dunhao," said thaboy, " 'cept you set it on fire." "There is a better way than that, my lad. Suppose you were going down some lonely lane on a dark night, with an un- lighted lamp in your hand, and a box of matches in your pocket, what would yon do ?" " Why, light the lamp, sir," said the boy, surprised that any one should ask such a simple creation. . (Christian Union.) Dhrina 'a recent trip through New Englahcf, the .Spectator was impressed anew with the fact that this section is pre-eminently the land of homes; and he waS led to comparaits home life .with that of France, as studied during sev- eral sojourns in that country.,; Paris and its outward .aspects are familiar to most American travelers but Paris is not France. Thimight almost be said that it is not French. It is cosmopoli- tan. The Parisians, as a rule, are ex- citable, grasping, and to some extent frivolpus ; they love change, they love tooverturnthings. The country people, on the contrary, are generally honest, hard-working, law-abiding; they love their families and homes, are generous , and kind-hearted, peaceable in dispo- sition and sebmissive to authority; they are not iconoclasts; they lave to build up, and to; build permanently. Throughout France you find few of what may be .called farmhouses." There are farms everywhere, fertile and highly cultivated, but the land -owner lives in the 'lordly chateau on yonder hill; while in the town at the foot of the hill live the laborers. Thehouses are not scattered. They are clustered into hamlets and villages, often remote front the .fields where the laborers are accustomed to work. • Take, for example, the, village of Chaumes, near the celebrated Arcy rnills farm, ,about thirty-five miles south-east of Paris. Around Chaumes, for many miles, stretch cultivated plains, which in August are Yellow with grain and pink with Incern. As you approach it by the broad, well -kept highway, lined on either side by poplars, scarcely a house- of any kind is to be seen for . miles. The farmers who have tilled these fertile fields all live in Chrgurnes. During the harvesting they leave( their homes in town at about 4 a. m., and walk` to the field where theirduty lies, often miles distant. They carry with them their tools and food, together with an umbrella. Every man, woman and child carries an umbrella, or that is their house by day, to shield them .•from sue as well as shower. From that hour until dusk. Chaumes is deserted. Even thj dogs have one to the fields. All th ho sc an MPORTANT NOTICES MA acquai to RO WANTED—Wanted a man to a arm.

Two little boys, the other day, were diteussing the patriotism of their re- apectis e sires, both of whom had seen service in the Civil War and have been pensioned by the government, one for leaving an arm on a Virginia battlefield and the other for a spinal injury re- ceived at the front. "My father," proud- ly exclaimed the son of the former, "fought and fought till his arm was shot off.'"Qb, my father knew better than that,- answered the other: "he just lay down on the ground out of the way " What wou d you light it for?" "To show me the road, sir." "Very well. Now suppose you were walking behind me one day, and saw me drop a shilling, what -would you do ?" " Pick it up and give it to you, sir." "But wouldn't you want to keep it yours.elf 7" . "1 should want to; but I wouldn't do it." " Why not ?" "Because that would be stealing, and the Bible says we mustn't steal. And is the Bible called a lamp because it shows ns the right way to walk in ?" - asked the boy. "That's just it, my lad. And now de you think it worth while to take thi good old lamp, and let it light you righ through life?" " Yes, sir.'' - " Why?" - "Because if l'm honest I shan't stand no chance of going to prison." "And what else?" The bay thought a moment, and the said: " If I mind the Bible I shall , go t heaven when I die." " Yes that's the best reason for usin this lamp. It will show you the right way to heaven. Good by, my lad. Here's a shilling for you. Mind you use this lamp.'' "Sir," said the little fellow, clasping the shilling, and taking off his ragged cap -"I'll mind." The second thing for which David used the Bible was for -light. • An Intelligent Dog. . "A few years since I was sitting ii - side the door of a shop to escape from the rain while waiting for a trap to take me to a railway station in the old Etruscan city of Ferentino.

One question which I am, sure has troubled many of tie is with regard to the. Sabbath. • Do we help our servants to keep the Sabbath? Do we even give them a Sabbath to keep? "Thou, and thy son, and thy datighter, and thy man 'servant, and ;thy lrnaid servant. Of ceurse, the new -fashioned Christians who do not believelin the fourth com- mandment are not troubled by this, but very nisny of es alai. Three ,great ene- mies of the " mai! servants' , ' Sabbath are -late breakfast, elaborate dinners, and Sunday company. These prevent their having any reasonable opportunity for attendance upon religious worship in the morning, and leave them too tired to go .later in the day. We believe in bringing the spirit 6f Christ to bear upon our household diffiCulties. Would it not suggest, in this caae, an hour .or two less of sleep in the nsoreing, and a plain meal instead of a feast at noon ? Do we really need some eXtra sleep.? We can take it later in the day. Do we wish to make the Sunday dInnertable attractive VS the father, vvlio, perhaps, its down to it on no other day of the week ? We cau accomplish that by the purchase of unusual delicacies, 'which will add noth- ing to the work ofpreparing the meal. This would seem to call for but little self-denial; but those of us who are established in these Sabbath habit e of very late rising arid noonday feasting know that it will cost a real effort to give them up. As for the visiting, the mere withholding of invitations to others and declining thoee which we May re- ceive, will dispose of that matter, and to the advantage of the whole home circle as well as of the servants. There .is room for a world of Christian ingenuity and self-denial in thamanagement of both servants and childeen on the Sabbath. -Kate Field recalls the sayinglof Horace Greely, wben asked as to the relative superiority of men and women: "It depends upon the man and woman you select."
