"And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever come perfect days;
Then heaven tries the earth if it be in tune,
Aud over it softly her warm ear lays:
Whether we look, or whether we listen.
We hear life murmur or see it glisten."
It is enough for the child to take in
with all his senses the beauties of our
lovely world without any further
thought, than that he is here to enjoy
j with every breath he draws all that
nature spreads out before him.
The animal life within him responds
to note of bird, hum of bee,  and chirp
of insect;  his muscles find  expression
with the fieetness   of his horse, the
gambols of his dog, and of what he is
thinking if he is blest with a home in
village or country, we need not stop
further to inquire.
"They've least the taint of earthly clod.
They're freshest from the hand of God."

SALINE,
We see groups of merry boys and
girls hurrying along to school or bending o'er their tasks; intent on gaining
an education and we know their
thoughts. Go farther on beyond this
present time when they shall reach
their reward, prepared to enter upon
fields of toil.
Each one has his appointed place to
fill; we know not yet .vhat it may be
or where an overruling- fate may call
us but we stand ready on the treshold,
and no matter how smilingly, fortune
may greet us we know we shall have
something to do. First of all then we
are thiuking of work, of mind and body,
of head or of hand, and to what will
that lead? What will that bring usV
Is it a mere love of work that leads us
on? Ko, few love it for its own sake,
especially the inexperienced tho' we
can think of nothing better than to do
what one likes to do even if it be hard
labor. No we must work to gain what
is dear to us. As education is power,
we first obtain the former to gain the
latter.
If we wish health, we must first obtain the wherewithal to buy it. If we
wish ease there again comes in the
need of money to procure it.
"The fairest picture of heaven itself
to some souls, is that which represents
it as the home of ease.11
So then the very first condition whioh
accompanies us in, our ^uAv-iWeo upon
the aren.ii is work...
Is tlmye qne heror-e whom wealth does
The BjOneer- -Baintier.    Lot shake its glitteriug- prize as the
'-     " '■'"--'—™ -'    - final end of all this toil?   There are
few if an j' who do not look forward to
money aud what it will bring them as a
thin": to be coveted.
If we walk along the crowded streets
and watch the hurrying throngs and
wonder what they are thinking. The
boys and men, the women and girls, as
they pass to and from the factories,
stares, or work shops we need only to
look iuto their eager anxious faces to
see their thoughts intent upon their
work to bring them the one thing needful.
Little time indeed do they have for
much more than the passing day thankful if they can be secure of this.
Of what is this portly well-fed looking manthiukiug as hegoes to his office?
Of his business, of his speculations, of
his stocks, and bonds or of some new
scheme for making money.
The thoughtful scholar, artist or
poet, although his mind may be filled
with thoughts of beauty, and pictures
of loveliness, yet indirectly* he is coining them into mc-ney, His ideals must
produce the y-eal dollars and cents so
necei§s,ar.y to life*.
The politician, the statesman, the
ju,dgo. and the jury are all thinking of
their different works which in the end
lire to briug them their treasures.
The inventor follows not the bent of
his genius in new applications of science
giving the world & benefit but of enriching himself.
Lack of money is more often the spur
j that has given us some of t,he greatest
[things the world ever saw, than any
! thing else.
Foreign  and   American.    Woman is not behind in this thinking
' age and world. Added to all her other
cares she is trying to climb higher aud
is considering the question, "To vote
or not to vote." Not-undaunted by her
failure so many years to obtain the
ballot she is still pressing forward making her voice heard and her wishes
known before senate and legislature
and the time must come when she will
have her say iu the making of the laws
and shall not be held lower thau the
0
ignorant immigrant who is allowed  to
vote for he knows not what and for
men whose principles he does not understand.
The time must come when some
qualification ot intelligence and education shall take the place of ignorance
and stupidity.
The world is  thinking' to-day the
same as it was years ago.
MICH j    The nancs of history tell us o'f wars

"Thinkesfc thou the line a poet's fiction ?
Then go look abroad upon the ways of men!
Go, ask the banker with his golden seals;
Oo, ask the borrower cringing at his heels.
Go. ask the maid who sedulous of woe;

What then is the conclusion we must
form from these observations? Is sordid wealth the ruling passion df the
hour?
There are some exceptions. Fame,
glory, love for fellowmen may be the
final aims but first of all to obtain these
in the end is the one indespensible
the almighty dollar.

The Colonel's Umbrella.
Clothing^Store and Dry Goods Store
Jonas Hanaway was said to be the "\
first man who carried an umbrella in
the streets of London. Umbrellas were
long before that carried by women,
but they were considered a feminine
luxury, and a man would no more be
seen with one than nowadays he would
walk the streets with a parasol in su m-
mer, or carry a muff in winter.
But Jonas Hanaway, thinking, like
a sensible man, that all the good things
should not be appropriated by women,
boldly walked the streets one day wiiit
an umbrella (probably it belonged i.>
his wife) over his head.   He ,not only
