POETRY.
THE PRICE OP TRUTH.
Great truths are dearly bought. The common truth.
Such as men give and take from dav to day,
Comes in the common walks of easy "life.
Blown by the careless wind across our way.
Rnught in the murk -t at the current price.
Bred of the smi:.* tb |e-t. perchance the bowl;
It tells no tales of taring or of worth.
Nor pierces even the surface of the soul.
Great truths are greatly won. Not formed by chauc*,
Not wafted on the breath of summer dream;
But grasped in the great struggle of the soul.
Hard buffeting with adverse wind and stream.
Not in the general mart, 'mid corn and wine;
Not in the merchandise of gold and gems:
Not in the world's gay ball of midnight ipirtn,
| Nor 'mid the blaze of regal diadems.
Biit in the day of conflict, tear aDd grief.
When the strong hand of God. put forth in might.
Ploughs up the subsoil of the stagnant heart.
And tilings the imprisoned truth-seed to the light. i
i
I Wrung from the troubled spirit, 111 hard hour*
' Of weakness, solitude, perchance of pain:
i Truth springs, like harvest, from the well-ploughed j
field.
And the fresh soul feels if, lias not wept in vain.

OUR AMERICAN GIRLS.
Tlioy arc girls from the very first—

i into algebra and long drosses. Fretty,
; but pale; lair ami fragile, ami are just
! what you would imagine might be i
1 fashioned out of a diet of late hours, j
j iee-ereain, polkas, and poisonous eon
i lections. Ami then, just when they '
j should be in tin- perfect, peerless bloom

j -a no earthly reas.m " iiy our girls |
j should not be models <l strength and

I thing is to avoid the false start in lite
that is given by weak-minded mothers

their "complexions." Send them out .

This is just as it should be. There j
is nothing like heaven's sunshine and j
heaven's free winds lor bringing back I
the lost roses to a girl's cheek. The I
fashionable game of croquet, now be- j
ing inaugurated on every lawn where
there is room to place the "arches,"
will be a dangerous move for the doctors.
Tt lias been a popular amusement in
England for some time, and we are very
glad to see il obtaining ground among
the pale cheeked belles of New York j
and Philadelphia. An hour or two in |
the open air every afternoon will go ;
far towards neutralizing midnight i
soirees, endless piano practicing*, and '
intolerable tight lacing!
Perhaps this transient beauty of our !
American ladies is one of the causes j
of those early marriages that turn ;
I bright girls into prematurely old i
! young matrons, and elide the pleas- i
antest years of life from their lot. If a |
girl does nob marry at eighteen, her .
chance is gone; at twenty-four she
has lost the fresh bloom of youth, and
begins to rank among the "old maids." j
There is something wrong here. We j
know of no reason why a girlattwen- |
ty-eight t hould not be in the prime and
fullness of her womanhood, in Europe
thirty years is not considered too ad
vanced an age for a candidate l<w ma

Character of a True Friend.
Concerning the man you call your j J
friend ; tell mo, will he weep with you ;
in the house of distress ? Will he faith- 1

censuring behind your back ? Will he | C |

dmo to stand forth in yoiir defence,,
when detraction is secretly mining its
deadly weapon at. your reputation ?
Will he acknowledge >'ou with the
same trienlyd : ttention, in the compa
ny of your superiors in rank and for
tune, as when the claims of pride do
not interfere with those of friendship?
If misfortune and losses should oblige
you to retire into a walk of life in
which you cannot appear with the
same liberality as formerly, will he
still think himself happy in your soci
ety, and. instead of withdrawing him
self from an unprofitable connection,
| take pleasure in professing himself
i your friend, and cheerfully assist you
j to support the burden of your afflic
tions? When sickness shall call you'
to retire from the gay and busy scenes
; of the world, will he follow you into
j your gloomy retreat, listen with at
tention to 3*our ' tale of 83'tnptoms,"
i and administer the balm of consolation
|to 3*our fainting spirits ? And lastl3 r ,
when death shuli burst asunder every
earlhl}* tie, will he shed a tear upon
your grave, and lodge the dear remem
j brance of your mutual friendship in
1 his heart ?
A Lesson of Trust
j Some time ago a boy was discover o '*?
; in Clairborn street, evidently bright
i and intelligent, but sick. A vnan who
lias the feeling of kindness strongly
j developed went to him, shook him by
i the shoulder, and asked him what he
was doing there,
j "Waiting for God to come for me,"
i said he.
j "W hat do 3-011 mean." t aid the gen
-1 tlemnn, touched l>3' the pathetic tone
j of the answer and the condition of the
1 boy, in whose 03 c and flushed face he
saw the evidences of fever.
"God sent for mother and father and
I little brother," said he, "and took them
away to His home up in the sky, and
mother told me when she was sick
that God would take care of me. I
have no home, nohodt* to give me any
thing, and so I came out here, and
have been looking so long up in the
sk}- for God to come and take care of
me, as mother Biii<l lie would, lie will
| come, won't he ? Mother never told
i me a lie." •
j "Yes, 1113* lad," said the gjan overi
■ come with emotion, "He has sent mo
j to take care of 30U."
You should have seen his e3*es flash
1 and the smile of triumph break over
; his face as he said : "Mother never
; told me a lie, sir, but3'ou have been so
i long on the way."
What a lesson of trust, and how this
incident shows the effect of never de
ceiving children with tales.
