Better than Beauty.
My love is not a beauty
To other eyes than nn; ;
Her curls are not the fairest,
Her eyes are not divine :
Nor yet like rosebuds parted,
Her lips of lnvc may be ;
But though she's not a beauty,
iShc's dear as one to me.
Her nr k is far from swan like,
Her bosom unlike snow ;
Nor walks she like a daNy
This breathing world below ;
Yet there '8 a liht of happiness
Within, which all may see:
And though she's not n beauty,
She's dear as one to mo.
I would not give the kindness,
The grace that dwells in Iter,
For all that Cup'd's blindness
In ot'.iers might prefer !
I would not change her sweetness
For pearls of any sea ;
For better far than beauty
Is one kin I heart to me.
Ami Right? Or Am I Wrong ?
We've been friends since chilhood's
time,
We have known each other long ; .
I have lived to love thet now
Am I right ? or am I wrong 1
Mine is not the flitting thrall
Of a passing glance or song;
'Tis affection, firm and true
Am I right ? or am I wrong ?
I have floated on the talc
Of the world's relentless sea,
With no beacon-light ahead,
Till I saw it shine from thee.
Give me hope, that I may guide
My frail bark of life along ;
Say that, loving thee, I'm right,
And net wholly lost or wrong.
Oft T think thy heart is mine,
With its depth of passion strong ;
When thus dreaming, can it bo
Am I right ? or am I wrong ?

'But a man in Mr. Parsons' condition
wants something more than sympathy,
lie wants help."
Perhaps vou can help him," sail
Mis. Fuller. '
Me!' The surprise of Mr. Fuller
was unfeigned.
Help comes by many ways. You
may be able to suggest the very thing
he needs.'
'To a man who has been living for
the last ten years at an expense of four
times greater than his income! Oh,
no, I can't help him. If I bad ten
thousand dollars to spare there would
be some sense in my calling.'
But Mrs. Fuller could not see it in
that light.
'Self help is the sorest help,' she re
turned. 'A quick, suggestive mind

of dollars.
'Not from any hint of mine. It's
of no use for you to argue with me in
that directiou. Parsons can teach me
twenty things where I can teach him
one.'
A ud your one may be of more use to
him than his twenty to you.'

'It would be of use for him to Lno

In the end Mrs. Fuller prevailed.
Her husband, alter concluding to make
he visit, thought he would defer it tin

hat the present hour for a. kind act was

It was after eight o'clock when Ful.

stimulated his wavering purpose and the
boll was rung. A servant showed hiin
into the library where he found Mr.
Parsons, who received him with a cor.
dial hand-clasp.
'I fear this may bo an interruption,'
said Fuller.
'No ; your coming is welcome and
timely. I was just wishing tor a cool,
clear-seeing, conscientious friend with
whom to take counsel. The iailure
of Lawrence .t James involves every
thing I have. I am on their paper fer
more than I am worth. They will have
assets, but in the meantime my credit is
gone. My name is dishonored-I am a
broken merchant.'
'Commercial dishonor is one thing
personal dishonor is another,' faid
Fuller. 'Men who go down into the
valley of misfoi tune tread on slippery
ground. They must look well to their
Icet. Ou safer ground we may recover
a false step; here it is very difficult
impossible. We are no longer Masters
ot the situation. It will not do to risk
anything; all doubtful expedients should
be avoided they are never sale under
the most favoratde circumstances; but
when misfortune limits and cripples a
own they almost always fall and leave
him more unhappily situated than be.

'I'nquestionably you are right,' said
Parsons. 'Wheu a man gets into trouble
it is of the first hniioi-fanee, to him to
show a clear record. As the case now
standsl think mine is clear. I will be
misjudged no doubt all men urn who

After sitting with -Mr. J 'arsons for
au hour, Mr. Fuller went home. The
conversation had been of tho yener i
chaiacter we have seen touching main
ly on those principles that lie at the
oasis ol ail right actions.
'It was kin I in you to call,' said Par

It was perhaps a month later that

Mr. Parsons still had a c ire-worn look
but his manner was more cheerful and
confident.
'1 have had it on my thoughts many
times; but did not wish to intrude my

'And yet I catna with great reluct

'If we mean kindly we "ball never
