.t THE WIND ON THE HILL. ISABELLA TYVIK MAYO. Oh! sweet is the summer air . . I Which steals down the chestnut walk. When the children are playing- there. While lovers wander and talk, t But the wind on the hill for me. And the mist across the down. And the bright light .over the ea . And ships coming home to the town! Oh! merry the sunny strand, -. Where waves wash in at one s rest. And the wives and children stand ! And wait for the flshiwr fleet. But the wind on the hill for me. And the mist across the down, And the strong light over the sea, j And ships coming home to the town! Oh! stately the castle tower, Mid its cedars, dark and still, ' Where ghosts come back at midnight hour And the mid-day sun fails chilL But the wind on the hill for me. And the mist across the down. And the wild light over the sea, . And ships coming home to the town. And solemn the gray church spire (I see it, looking down r -With its weather-vane tipped with fire. As the sun sets over the town, ! But the wind on the hill for me, And the mist across the down. And the golden light over the sea. And ships going out from the town! There's a grave by the old church door (That changed all the world one day). Can it be the mist from the moor Creeps up as I look that way? But the wind on the hill for me. And the mist across the down. Though the light is sad on the sea, And ships go out from the town. I should like to die on the hill Some day as the sun goes down, ; And the wind, blowing strong and chill, Drives out the ship from the town! Yes! the wind on the hill for me. And the mists may lie below; There's a glad light over the sea. And a secret for me to know! A BOY'S DECISION. Many years ago Mr. Hall,ant English gentleman, visited Ireland for the purpose of taking sketches on its most hftjuitifnl scenerv. to be used in an illustrated work on Ireland, which has since been published. On one occa sion, when about to spend a day in the neighbor-hood of Lake Lillarney, he met a bright Irish lad, who offered his services as guide through the district. A bargain was made with him, and the nartv went off. The lad proved himsplf well a,cauainted with all the nlaces of interest in the neighborhood, and had plenty of stories to tell about them. He did his work well, and to the entire satisfaction ot toe visi tors. On their return to the starting point, Mr. Hall took a flask of whis key from his pocket and drank some Then he handed it to the boy and ask ed him to help himself. To his great surprise the offer was firmly but po litely declined. Mr. Hall thought this very strange. To find an Irish boy who would not touch or taste whiskey was stranger to him than-anything he had seen that day. He could not un derstand it, and he resolved to try the strength of the boy's temperance prin ciples. He offered first a shilling, then half a crown, and then five shillings, if he would taste that whiskey, isut the boy was firm . A real manly heart was beating under his ragged jacket. Mr. Hall determined to try him further, so he offered the boy a golden half sov erign if he would take a drink of whis key. This was a coin seldom seen by lads of this class in those parts. Straightening himself up, with a look of indignation in his face, the boy 'pulled out a temperance medal from his 'inner pocket of his jacket, and holding it bravely up he said: "This was my father's medal. For years he was intemperate. All his wages were spent in drink. It almost broke my mothers heart; and what a hard time she had to keep the poor children from starving' At last my father took a stand. He signed the pledge, and wore this medal as longs he lived. On his death bed he gave it to me. I prom ised him that I would never drink in toxicating liquor; and now, sir, for all the money your honor may be worth a hundred times over, I would not break that promise." That boy's decision about drink was noble. Yes, and it did good, too?. As Mr. Hall stood there astonished, he" screwed the top on his flask and flung it into the water of the lake near which they stood. Then he turned to the lad, and shook him warmly by the hand, saying as he did so: "My boy,'thaf s the finest temper ance iecture I ever heard. I thank you for it. And now by the help of trod, 1 will never drink another drink of intoxicating liquor while I live. Rev. Dr. R. Newton. WHAT SHALL WE TEACH OUR DAUHTERS. At a social gathering someone pro posed this question: "What shall teach my daughter?" The following replies were handed in: Teach her that 100 cents make a dol lar.

An old physician remarked lately: "There is no study in human nature so difficult to me as a certain class of young girls. 1 spent a part of this summer with two specimens of this class. They had the usual amount of capacity for observing, and under standing, and feeling. They had been well educated at much cost to their parents; both were constant attendants at church. "I saw nothing in their faces, man ners, or bearing to argue that they were imbecile. Their mother was an invalid nearing the grave. Nothing could be more touching than the pa tient, appealing gaze with which her eyes followed them,watching for some signal of affection . But they had eyes and thoughts for nothing but a gown they were making. They were used to her love, her illness, even to the thought of her death. "I walked out with them through a freat forest, under the solemn stars, hey saw no beauty, no sublimity in them. They chattered incessantly of the new trimming of their bonnets. They were used to the meaning of the trees and stars. The only thing ap parently to which they were not used were the changes in ribbons, puffs, and flounces. "I went to church with them, and listened to the great 'Te Deum' which had come down to us through many ages, and filled the hearts of countless worshipers of God. They nudged each other while they sang it to look at a beaded cloak in the next pew. "We physicians now test the tem perature of a patient's body, and if we find it below a certain degree, know that death is already in the heart. When I find so low a degree of tem- neratnre in the words, actions, and thouarhts of a human body, I begin t fear that the soul within is cold and dead beyond recall." Old John Bunyan taught us the same lesson in his picture of man with the muck rake, who incessantly scraped together the foul, perishable stuff, and kept his eye bent on it, while the great world opened around him, and the wind blew, and the sun shone, and God waited fox him behind them all. Do we, too, use this rake, and what is it that we gather? FEMININE WIT CAM E TO HEKA1D. It was long ago that a friend of ours was traveling with a party of excur sionists in the mining regions of Penn sylvania. She was a single lady and did not know any of her male com panions even by name. She went down into a mine with the other tourists, and with a -woman's curiosity thought she would investigate a little for herself. The consequence was that she got lost, and found herself in a labyrinthine passage, whose windings she could not follow to the sunlight. Vague visions of death by starvation floated before her mind, and she was puzzled for a few minutes to know what to do. Fem inine wit finally came to her aid, and she -shouted at the top of her voice, "John!" Presently the answer came back, "What do you want?" "I wish you would help me out of this hole," was the reply, and almost immediate ly aform was at her side which dexter ously piloted her to the open day. bhe was not acquainted with her kind res curer, but she said she was sure there was a John in every crowd, and could make no mistake if she called for him. You'll find her smiling night and day. Although at times she is not gay. And should you wonder why you meet This constant smile, regard her teeth. She only laughs those gems to show, Which SOZODONT makes white as snow. laughter Lends A New Charm To beauty when it discloses a pretty set of teeth. Whiteness, when nature has supplied this element of loveliness, may be retained through life by using the fragrant SOZODONT. "Spalding's Glue," mends Furniture, Toys t Crockery, all ornamental work.

No one could come more highly commended as a refined Christian gentleman, an American citizen, and well known in New York and Brooklyn, and in Massachusetts. The Music Department here will not be sur passed anywhere either in thoroughness or popularity. The Art Department of this Institute still sustains its supremacy among South ern Institutions. During the severe weather of last win ter it was proven that the method by which the rooms in this Institute are warmed is superior to any other in health comfort and safety, and that there is no possibility of accident or failure in this important matter.
