It wears tins wild-rose tint in its soft cheek, It keeps its rings of gold Above the pure vei-ied forehead, white as snow; It ne’er to us grew old. No "Winter tiine in love!

No Wiuter.time in love! One hhited gently of the -white hoar frost, Tliat gleamed upon our hair; yVe smiled as one who keeps his secret well. O heart, how young you are! How full of tender pulses, leai-)iu quick At tr'u of any lord. And answering- to the patter of small feet. At sight of beauty stirred! No "Winter time in love! "We call it Winter when some cheek is cold. Some cheek we loved to press; Only a moment, then wo lift our eyes And tenderly we bless Th’ one who, walking in th’ garden of th’ heart, Made an etei-nal Spring There' is no'winter and there cannot be ilfter Loves entering.

Hillel perceived this, and said to the youth: “"What aileth thee? Why is thy countenance troubled?” Theon answered: “In some places the Scriptures speak of the wrath of God, and in others He is called love. This appears to me strange and incon sistent.” The teacher calmly replied; “Should they not speak to man in human language.^ Is it not equally strange that they should attribute a human form to the Most High?” “By no means,” answered the youth; “that is figurative—but wrath— ” Hillel interrupted him: “Listen to my story. There lived in Alexandria two fathers, wealthy merchants, who had two sons of the same age, and they sent them to Ephesus, ou busi ness connected with their traffic. Both these young men had been thoroughly instructed in the re ligion of their fathers. “When they had sojourned for some time at Ephesus, they were dazzled by the splendor and the treasures of the city, and yielded to the allurements which beset them, they forsook the path of their fatliers, and turned aside to idolatry, and worshiped in the temple of JJiana. “A friend at Ephesus wrote of this to Cleon, one of the two fath ers at Alexandi’ia. Wlien Cleon had read tlie letter, he was trou bled in his lieart, and he was wroth witli the youtlis. Thereup on he wont to the other iatlier, and told him of the apostasy ofi their sons, and of his grief there at. “But tlie other father laughed, and said: Tf business do but pros per with my son, I sliall give myself little concern about his religion.” “Then Cleon turned from him, and was still moie wrotli.” “Now, wliich of these two fatli- ers,” said Hillel to the youth, “dost thou consider as the wiser and the better?” “He who was wroth,” answered Tlieoii. “And which,” asked the pre ceptor, “was the kinder father?” “He who was wroth,” again answered the youth. “Was Cleon wroth with his son r asked Hillel. And Theon replied: “Not with his son, but with his backsliding and apostasy.” “And what,” asked the teacli- er, “thinkest thou is the cause of such displeasure against evil?” “The sacred love of trutli,” an swered In's disciple. “Behold then, my son,” said the old man, “if thou canst now think divinely of tliat which is divine, the human expression will no longer offend, thee.”—Leslie’s Sunday Magazine. SEJSSIS5EE ALMOST TO THE EAST. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Mulcahy lived on a farm. They were shrewd and thrifty, and had the reputation of being “close.” Fi nally Ml’S. Mulcaliy sickened and was about to die. Finding lierself nearing the end, she expressed a desire to put things in order be fore that event occured, and old Tom prepared to listen. “Tom,” saya Mrs. Mulcahy, 'there’s Mrs. Smith, up at the cross ing, she owes me $1.80 for but ter; see get it.” “Sinsible to the last, my dear; sinsible to the last,” said Tom, “I’ll get it.” “Then there’s Mrs. Jones, up at the Creek, she owes me $1.50 for chickens.” “Ah! look at that, now, for a moiud; she forgets nothing.” “And Sfi's. Brown, in the vil lage, she owes me $2.30 for milk.” “D’ye hear that? Slusible to the last; sinsible to the last I Go on, my dear.” “And—and—■” “Yis?” “And Mrs. Roberts, at the toll- gate, I owe her—” “Ah! poor dear! poor dear!” broke in old Tom hastily; “ how her moind does be wandering! Sure we’ve allowed lier to talk too much entirely, so we have!” said, very respectfully, ho would go. “ l)r. Stillman ouglit to have rest, dear man, but I feel bad for the people; they will be disap pointed, but. folks is queer. They doseri’t want to hear anybody else. I heard Mrs. Smith say this morning what a beautiful sermon the doctor preached. But I’ll tell the deacons Massa Still man is wearin’ hisself out.” “ You needn’t go,” said tlie doctor, brightening up. “ I feel better. Brush my boots, Jeph- thah, and I’ll try to preach my self.” He went into the pulpit and never preached more power ful and eloquently than he did that afternoon.

Dr. Neale, of Boston, tells this anecdote of Dr. Stillman, his dis tinguished predecessor, of revolu tionary times: One Sunday morn ing lie preached, as he thought, a poor sermon. It is very likely that it was so, for ministers some times do such things, but they iiave different ways of meeting the humiliation. Some put on a bold face and pretend to care nothing about it; some look dig nified, as if they had said some thing solemn and deep ; others comfort themselves with the thought that they will do better next time ; but Dr. Stillman was so mortified that he could not eat his dinner, and was sick in bed. “Jephthah,” he faintly said, “I shall not he able to preach this afternoon. You must see the deacons and ask them to get some other minister to suppl}^ my pul pit—Mr. Chaiuicey, Mr. Kirkland,, or Mr. Eckley.” Jephthah, who understool the case perfectly, j We are told that a duke of Tuscany was the first possessor of this pretty sliruh in Europe; and he was so jealously fearful lest others should enjov what he alone wished to possess, that strict injunctions were given to his gardener not to give a slip, not so much as a single flower, to any person. To this command the gardener would have been faithful, had not love wounded liim the sparkling eye of a fair but portionless peasant, whose want of a little dowry, and his poverty, alone kept them from the hymeneal altar. On the birth day of ills mistress he presented her with a nosegay, and to ren der the bouquet more acceptable, ornamented it with a branch of jasmine. 'Vha povera figlia, wish ing to preserve the bloom of this new flower, put it into fresh earth, and'the branch remained green all the year. In the following spring it grew, and was covered with flow'ers. It flourislied and multiplied so much under the fair nymph’s cultivation, that she was able to amass a little fortune from the sale of the precious gift which love had made her; when, with a sprig of jasmine in her breast, she bestowed her hand and her wealth on the happy gardener of her heart. And the Tuscan girls, to this day, preserve the remem brance of this adventure, by in variably wearing a nosegay of jasmine on their wedding-day'; and they have a proverb which say’s a young girl worthy of wearing this nosegay is rich enough to make the fortune of a good husband.
