WHAT 1 WOULD BE
If I. myself, my life could choose, ...
And t .lie the Fates an tliey ruie me
I would not oct by art nor ruie,
Bat this is what my life would bo i
Like a cooliHg shade on a sumnierday
Jmvltin all to a rest,
Like a slngiuif bro ik by a dusty way
For many a traveler to bless.
' A stepping stono on the height of hope,
Planed for some tired feet,
A dirolglns 'Utht, ai the weary Rrope,
Like smiles both true and sweet.
A leathered warbler in a dull, sad room,
To gladen a sick child's eyes ;
A flower of love In a life of floam,
A star In the clouded skies. '
A. gnreling rill iu tke basis fair.
That lie in the laroInK sun 1 ; -
Like a kind word spoken to ease ad care,
And the aid of a helping hand.
Oh. sweet, pure lives ! Too fill yocr place.
And all your loving duty,
A glorions lesson in each tarrow ipact,
Full of a Divine beauty.
Who would not learn the lesson and try
t ; To rise to the standard of truth ?
; For In each tarty life au Influence doth He,
Beginning in simplest youth.
- Make your influence noble and true.
Lifting and exalting all ;
As the genial suu it's duties do,
Raise the flowers after the rainfall.

"Lotchen, promise me one thing and
we will epeak . no more of the cloud
which the Lord has seen fit to cast over
your youug life.' Promise me that you
will take what care you can of your
little brother Karl, and teach him to be
good, that some day I. may hold you
both again, mine for fevet audevcr."
Liotcnen was-.uima, ana ine poor, gen
tle hard-working mother, as she felt her
self growing weaker day by day, often
wondered what would become of her
children when she was really gone, for
they Jiad no . relations, and very few
friends.,.':....;' 'i-:V '. ' : " "
Three weeks longer(she went abou
her daily work, and then sank so gradu
ally that it was like night coming oh
it is dark almost before the sun has set.
All at once she gave up work, and
Lotchen and Karl were left alone in
their dreary little dwelling,' and very,
very desolate it was, too.
She would do her; best for Karl's sake,
and some day she Would give him back
again to her mother, where there was
no more cold nor poverty- nor sickness.
But what was there in all the world that
Bho could do ? For they were yery, very
poor, and Karl could, as yet, dp very
little to help.
In her loneliness and dosolation, she
often sought the church, which was not
far from their humble dwelling, for .the
graiid old notes of the organ comforted
and cheered her so. She was very fond
of music and could sing iu her own un
tutored way many a sweet tuue.
One day, on being more deeply stir
red thap usual at the glorious music as
it crept around her, there came into
Lotcheu's heart, for the first time an un
accountable delight as she listened to
the sweet voice of the choristers, and
wondered while the thought which had
so suddenly dawned upon her almost
took her breath away ah 1 if she could
learn to sing I even her poor, sightieas, j
aioa OAfkltlAn
' new hope, as she whispered
'self:
see you. Do you think I could learn to
sing in your choir?"
"Can you sing, my-chili? and what is
yonr name?"
"Lotchen Bremer, and we are very
poor. My mother is dead, and she left
my little brother in my care, and I
thought 1 could help a little."
"Brave child ! I will see what I can
do for you. To-morrow I will try your
voice. Came at this hour."
And they parted.
. Tbe next day Lotchen was in her ac
customed place, . where the organist
found her, and led her to the loft. At
first he tried her on a few low note?, un
til she should gain courage, and then
little by little he brought out tones mors
rich, and when, she ceased, the master
turned, and placing his hand, upon her
head said :
,"You will have your wish, my child,
you will yet sing in this choir." .
; Lotchen was almost wild with joy. It
was late when she returned borne and
found Karl anxiously waiting her com
ing. " '-' j, ,
She would not tell him now.. She
would keep her secret well. With his
assistance she prepared the evening
meal, he never di earning what made her
steps so much lighter, or tho voice so
cheerful. By and by he would know.
Six years went by, bringing seed-time
and harvest, summer and winter, ac
cording to the promise of God, and into
Lotchen's sightless life had come a har
vest of gladness out of her new found
talent that only He could know.
There was to be a solemn service "in
the little church.
As the time drew near, the ; people
flocked from all quarters. Every corner
of the building was brilliantly lighted.
It had become a sacred place, that lit
tle Gothic church, with itacarved old
pulpit, black with age, and the choir
loft, and the very high-back pews. :
? "The "Hallelujah chorus" pealed from
the organ grandly, and the choir stood
up to sing. -
; The' words seemed to dance -for very
joy as she sung those victorious notes.
Then came the words of "peace and rest,'V
aud they always seemed to carry her
away from all cold, ' and poverty, and
loneliness; to that land Where her dear
mother must be waiting and watching
for Karl and her.
What aglov of color was on her
cheeks as 'she' closed I And to more
than one in that little company how sin
gularly beautiful she was I - ; '
Behind one of the quaint old pillars
sat a stranger, who in breathless silence
had listened to every note, and who now
sent a. request upon a slip of paper that
she should sing in the ,4Stabat Mater,"
a piece of which she was passionately
fond. Although this waa unknown to
bim, she acquiesced and poured her very
soul into it, and when she stopped, he
drew a long breath, and retired from the
building. . . ; ;
When the service was over and the
company dispersed, the chapel-master
went to Lotchen as she was about to
leave, and taking her thin, white hand
Sn his, told her that the stranger of the
night had come all the way from Leip
sic to find a voice like hers to sing in the
cathedral there, and that he, was ready
to pay ber any sum if she would only.
i'Lotcheii'a face grew ashen white, and
he aeemed like one suddenly lowered
down as sh answered':
?Dear master, bow can I go t All my
