They were those : "Would you be known? Then ; he worth knowing. " ! In a Hash she saw how cheap an ambition her had been and how 'selfish. Who was she to long for the friendship of high souls? What had she to give them in re- i turn for the treasure of their lives? ! Would she, as she was, eve1!! un- I dct'stand their language. j i lit humility and sorrow, she i i prayed again no longer that she might be known, but that, in God's good time, her own life might j grow strong and beautiful, that she might prove worthy of all bles sings that were given her. Then, since (iod in his wisdom teaches us to answer many of our own prayers, she began to study, to read, and to think, and to try to love greatly. So years passed. Hid she become known ? Never as in, her girlish dreams. But she found something far, far better, l'or she learned that to be known ; is nothing, and to try to be worth knowing that one may be known, is less than nothing, but to lift one's soul to highest living, because one will not be satisfied with lesser things, is a task whose joy deepens with every passing year and " reaches on into God's eternity.

I have picked thee, ittle daisy, from thy home upon the lea, And 1 pull the petals slowly from thy golden-yellow heart To find if 1 love some one, and if some one loves me. Ah, tell me truly, daisy, for a prophetess thou art. "He loves mc," says the daisy- for myself what need to ask The answer thou would st give I full well know, But with half trembling fingers 1 seek to lift the mask ' That hides within his heart the words his eyes spoke long ago. "He loves me not," ihou sighest, oh, cruel little flower, leflecting in thy bossom the glance of the sun; Now answer truly, daisy, for within another hour Thou shall follow where thy petals are falling, one by one. Again "he loves," and recklessly thy snowy leaves I scatter To find if il be little, or much, or not at all My foolish heart beats faster, for thyself il does not matter, The words that are my glory sign the warrant for thy fall. His lips repeat the story why doubt it any longer, Why 1 see the love-light shining in his eyes, so wondrous blue? Ah, little sybil flower, my faith in thee grows stronger As he tells me in a whisper what the daisy said was true. BELIEVE ME, IF AIL THOSE ENDEARING YOUNG CHARMS.

Were to change by to-morrow and flee from my arms, Like fairy gifts fading away, Thou would'st still be adored, as this moment thou art, Let thy loveliness fade as it will, And around the dear ruin each wish f my heart Would entwine itself verdantly still. It is not while beauty and youth are thine own, And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear, That the fervor and faith of a soul can be known, To which time will but make the more dear; No.. the heart that has truly loved never forgets, But as truly loves on to the close, As the sunflower turns on her god, when he sets, The same look which she turn'd when he rose.

Matihew 1 1 :29. The rest of a soul is a very peculiar thing; it is what we should call movement. The rest of a body is sleep, because its work becomes weariness. The rest of a rolling ball is stillness, because its work be comes a weariness. The rest of a roul is motion, because repose is foreign to it. One of our poets has said: "The soul is dead that slumbers;" and it is true. The weariest moment of a soul is its torpor. Whether it has nothing to think of, nothing to dream of, nothing to speak of when all its wells are dry, and all its flowers are withered, and all its ambitions are silent when it feels that life is beneath striving forwhen it says, The game is not worth the candle" that is an aw ful lime ! It is the spectacle of a restless soul, because it is the sight of a soul reposing. Il is the broken wing of a bird, me lame feet ol a stag, the snapped string of a violin, the lost voice of a singer. The soul' imprisoned within itself finds the yoke not easy. My soul, how shalt thou find rest? On the wings of love. It is not less but more movement that thou cravest. Not a couch more downy, hin a nininn more drastic, is wanted to eive thee rest. If ihou wouldst not be weary, thou must mount up with wings as eagles. Only when Ihou art flying art ihou unfettered. Put on thy new wings, O my soul; put on the wings of love, and soar. Soar ito the joy of ihy heart j the man Christ Jesus. George Matheson. There is something in the life of Joel Chandler Harris which fascinates us. Of lowly if not I obscure, parentage; facing pov erty in his boyhood days and denied the advantages of a col leoe or a high school; educa ting himself in the scholastic atmosphere of a country home in which he made his living at a compositor's desk; drink ing in the sweet inspiration of nature as he developed his mind and supported his widow ed mother; leaping at an early age into the exciting arena of journalism; acquiring in a few years a reputation for literary genius and original insight in to the mysteries and glories of (lod's out-of-Poors; wearing through all the days of his pros perity as a garment an innate modesty; preferring the song of the mocking bird in the ce dars to the applause of the world; going down the lane of years with the smilo of the morning on his face and the swMutiiess of a simple reveren tial spirit in bis heart; at last gathering the draperies of his couch about him and going to his last home, leaving behind as a soothing benediction the words of peace and hope truly, his life is full of inspiration. Dr. J.W. Lee,of Atlanta, never wielded his pen with greater power and more striking grace ttian in his treatment in the April Century of the life and character of Joel Chandler Har ris.
