if I were a bird and you were a bird.
We'd soar ihro' the heavens above ;
We'd speed our course to golden shores.
And dwell in a honia of love.
We'd spend our time
In that peaceful clime;
In dava of the sweet by and. b?.
Away from our sistera and our cousins
And our aunts of the 11. M. S. navy.
The Tarting: Hour.
There's something In the "parting hour"
Will chill the warmest heart
Yet kindreii, comrades, lovers, friends,
Are Lited all to part ;
But this I've seen and many a pang
Has pressed it on my mind
The one who goes is happier far
Than those he leaves behind.
$td matter what the Journey bo,
Adventurous, dangerous, far.
To the wild deep or bleak frontier.
To solitude or war
Still something cheers the heart that dares
In all of human kind.
And I hey who go are happier
Than those they leave behind:
The bridb goes 10 the bridegroom's home
With doabting and tear,
Bnt does not Hope her rainbow spread
Across her clouded feais?
A las I her mother who remains.
What comfort can she find
But this the g-one is happier
Than the one she leaves behind.
Have you a friend a coinrado dear?
An old and valued friend?
Be sure your term of sweet concourse
At length will have an end I
And when you part as part you will
Oh, take It not unkind.
If he who goes is happier
Thau you he leaves behind.
God wills it so and so It Is :
The pilgrims on their way,
Though worn and weak mors cheerful are
Than all the rest who stay.
And when, at last, poor man subdued,
Lies down to death resigned,
May he not still bo happier
Than those he leaves behind?

"That is a most nonsensical tiling; to
say," Jim reuiaikcl, as JJelle held the
motto she was working olF at arm's
length, and gazed reflectively at it.
'U hen there's a will there's a way !' If
it was true, how many good things I
would have !"'
"Perhaps you would," replied his
younger brother Bob, "if the proverb
meant that the way was ready made, and
all you had to do was to saunter down it
up it, I mean."
"If it does not mean that, said Jim,
"it ought to read, 'When there's a will, go
look ior the way, aud it is ten chances to
oue if yo'i tinl it-.'"
1 hat is fitiill : exclaimed Bob; "you
don't fancy the will and the way are like
the Siamese twins, fastened together, so it
you see one you see the other f '
"It means' said Belle, who had now
decided upon the color of the silk she
needed, and who spoke with tliC air of
gravity becoming an elder sister of seven
teen, "that if you have the guu you must
go look for the gauie."
"Suppose there is none'f" asked Jim.
"Is none !" Bob reicaled : "there is al
ways game! There may not he a buf
falo uiKu your front tloor bteps waitim;
for you to come out, but just take your
imu and go to tho West' You'll lind
ii i tit lucre!"
"That is all very nice to sav," and Jim,
who was lyiug ou the lounge, clasped his
hands under Lis head; "but my experi
ence f this family it may be din'eicnt
in others is, ihat we arc always wishing,
but 1 -don't tee that it does auy good; we
don't get much."
"it isu t ictthmg, Belie saut, "it is trtit-
nil I iV . I
mg. mai is a very umereui iiimg.'
Is it I Jim asked. "Perhaps it is &
step further; 'I wifh' comes first ; 'I
wiil goos on to the war, ami gels the
booty. '
"Jixactlv so, J im, I have hopes of you,
said Bob.
"But what I would like," answered
iim, "is to see the thing. Who is it
who will liifet -will' and then lind the
way f "
"A- if evcrvlxxly did not!" and Bob
.ookt d the pic. lire of determination, "you
lo it yuitr.seil, oiten.
"Oli. I do not mean in little things.
Something of imiiortance, some great

"Then you must get great people fm
them," replied Belle. "You don't sup-
pc great tilings are Gone in Cedar.

"Where: said Bob, crnnmg ins head
so as to look out of the window.
"J)ou't be silly!" aud Belle continued.
''don't you 8iipjosc he 'would'.be Emper
or of France I"
"He was a great man," replied Jim.
I mean ordinary people Cedar Creek
heroes."
"It is just as true for them," Bob said,
"only they must wish for ordinary things.
.Neither ot us, my boy, w ill ever be an
emperor of France."
"Well, and Jim sat up; "now let us
settle this matter. You nav wliero there's
a will there's a way you and Belle.
I say there n-n t, not oitcn. Now, you
make up your mind to do something
particular, and hud the way to do it. It
you succeed, I'll give up; and if you do
not, Belle can give me that motto lor my
room; for, although it isn't true, it' very
pretty .
"Aud Iol, 1 suppose, ' said Belle, "can
pay his forfeit by framing it."
"lou 8i)cak words ot wisdom, an
swered Jim with gravity.
"Ihat is a very nice arrangement. Bob
exclaimed; "I do all the work, and if I
fail you get all the reward. Suppose, I
succeed, what w ill I getl"
"Ihe reward ol a good conscience- am
swered Jim with gravity.
"lou must make up your mind to
work for something that itself will bo a
reward, if you get it," Belle said. "That
is the way these great people do; it isn't
getting things for other people."
"lea, it is, 'JJob replied, "iiow, there
was Dorothea Dix. Papa was telling us
only last night about her. She could
have had a very good time, I suppose, if
she had been contented to stay at home,
out she found how tbetdi-uly the insane
people were treated in the hospitals and
almshouses, and just think how Bhe trav
eled about it I bhe went to the places
and saw for herself how they were put
into honid cells, that they were chained,
starved and beaten, and she didn't go
home, and say what a shame it was. and
somebody ought to see that, things were
made better- Not Bhe! She went riglit
to the people who had the power to make
it better, ami die told them how tilings
w-re, jtki ti n. o. Pelij, either. bt
under their very noses, and she told them
that they were the people to make it bet
ter.''
"Yes," and Belle's eyes lighted up; "tind
when they said it wasn't their fault,' but
the law's, she went to the .Legislature and
told the men there. 1 think it must have
ben very hard, for first she had to interest
them and prove it all, and then get them
to work to alter the laws. '
"And such men," said Bob scornfully,
'"mere politicians.
"There, now!" said Jim, "there is one
of the things that could bo done! I re
member once that papa was complaining
about some man wi.o was going lo l ou
grcss, and grandpa said: 'Now, Ilobeit,
thee make it thy business to s?e that a
good man goes the next time. Thee
didn't take any pains to keep this one
lrom going, and thee has no right to com
plain.' 1 never forgot that.
"Well!" said Belle with an air of much
experience, "I don't see why politicians
should be such horrid people. I am sure
Air. Graham is a very nice man.
"Of course he is," said Bob; "but you
dou't think all the men Miss Dix had to
speak to were like him!"
"She didu't care for the men, Bob," re
plied Belle; "all she thought about was
the crazy people, and even if the men she
had to convince were not all like -AIr;Jra-
liam, they had hearts."
"What I would like to do," Jim said,
reflectively, "would bo my own work. I
wouldn't want to make speeches, and per
suade, and all that. I would like to sit
at home and write great books, or paint
wonderful pictures; and I'd send them
one. 1 would 6tay at home and not be
bothered with people."
"You are lazy, Jim; that is what's the
matter with you," and Bob walked to the
other window. "You think that would
be easy, but you would have to work just
as hard, and you would care just at
much what the world would say."
"May lc I would," answered Jim, "but
I wouldn't have to push myself; my pic
ture or my book wouldn't care."
"1 tell you who I thmk was a hero,"
said Belle, Beethoven for he could not
know what his work was like. It you
painted a picture you could see it, and if
you wrote a book you could read it; but
he went on comiosing music, busy all
day; thinking of flutes and violins, aud
singing voices, and he could never hear
one tune. And, then he knew it was
good. There was no use in neglecting
him, he never gave up; he leit it was ins
business to w rite music and lie did it."
"I would have given up," said Jim. "I
don't see why he didn't. There would
have been enoug-h excuse for him.
"Excuse!" cried Belle iu scorn, "as if
he wanted to be excused! He meant to
write, and he wouldn't let anything hin
der him. He made a way."
"What surprises mc," said Jim, "is that
Bob hasn't said a word aliout Benjamin
Franklin yet. I never before heard him
speak of heroes for five minutes without
saying something of him."
"1 thought of him," said Bob, "and I
remembered one of the best things that
lie ever did. You know he talked and
talked about paving the Philadelphia
ftreets, nnd nobody saw any use in it,
even when the mud was so thick that the
wagons stuck fast, and people couldn't
get over without getting kuee-decp. Then
don't 3ou know how he stopped talking,
anil paved in front ol his own house, and
then the people began to cross there, and
so after awhile somebody else paved an
other piece, and they began to see that it
would be a good thing to pave the whole
street. Ihat is what I call findni" a
wav."
"The trouble is," said Belle-, 'We don't
make up our minds to what we want.
We just go along and take w hatever we
get, and we don't decide that we want
something else, and mean to get it. we
just wish for it."
"Now, see here," said Jim, "do you
think the Leewellyns are any smarter
than we are? that Jlr. Lcewellyn is a
wiser man than papal"
Ol couibe not, replied Bob, with in
dignation.
"Well, this is certain in the Leewcl-
lyn f'imily there arc ever bo many distin
guished people."
"Aot any more bo than papa. 1 am
sure everybody knows him."
"lcs, but tliey don t know uncle Ucorge,
nor uncle Irwin. But all the Leewcllyus
are judges or generals or something."
"Because it is the fashion in the lami-
ly," said Belle; "they have to do some
thing. It is expected ot them.
"Aud they help each other," Jim said.
"It is very well to have a distinguished
father, but 8upiose all your uncles aud
coubins are at the top of the ladder, too;
don't you suppose they would help you
upJ"
"I don t want eucli Help, said lion, "i
would rather depend on myself. But I
tell you this, Jim; if we three were to
make up our minds that we would not be
nobodies all our lives, uon t you think we
would find the way to be somebodies?"
"Good or bad i asked Jim.
"Good! I dou't mean that we would
be rascals; but that we would be honora
ble and useful, aud when we died, people
would miss us, and be sorry to loao us.
Don t you believe we could do ltl '
"Would it be much trouble?" inquired
Jim.
"Yes, it would. Plenty of trouble and
hard work," replied Bob, stoutly; "that
would bo 'the way.' But we are Ixiuud to
have trouble, I suppose every body says so,
and so we might as well make up our
minds to it; but we also might as well
get some good out of it."
"Now isn t he wise: said Jim, "wise
beyond his years!" .
"I don't care," said Belle, "about being
anything wonderful, or having a famous
name; but I do think it would be worth
while to have some kind of an object."
"Haven't we!"' asked Jim. "I know I
have pletity of objects."
"Yes, but what do they amount to?"
Belle replied. "I don't think it necessary
to do great things; but suppose suppose
I was to make up my mind that the Carey
girls were to have all the sewing they need
this winter, I could do it."
"I think it would be a very unnecessary
thing to.do," said Jim. "I am sure they
ought to do that for theufselves. They
are ever so much older than you are."
"That makes no difference," said Bc'.Ie;
'they need the work, and they can sew
better than most women I know mamina
thinks so. But they can not go and aik
for it, as I could. Last week JIadgc Carey
told mc that Mre. Harold had scut to New
York for a dressmaker, and of course 6he
could say nothings but I cottld have beg
ged Mrs. Harald to try Madge. I know
she would like her."
"Madge ought to ask for herself," per
sisted Jim.
"But if she don't I can. There is no
l harm in it, and mamma says that when
they ae ooee knows there will- b? a
trouble in their getting work. You must
remember they never expected all tliii
poverty and trouble, and if they do not
know how to manage thev can not bo
blamed. I think I will try."
"Is there anything you would like mo
to do?"
"Yes, there is," said Bob. "You ought
to help papa to catalogue his 1-ooks. He
said he would have to hire some one, and
I know you. could help him."
"It is a great deed I want, Kobort,"
said Jim; "I burn for glory! I want to
start at once upon a brilliant career."
Bob looked at his brother. "I think,"
said lie, slowly, "that I w ill make a good
French scholar of myself."
''What special good will that do you?"
asked Jim.
"I don't know," said Bob, "but I have
a good chance just iid, I ini sure that
this is what old Ben Franklin would have
done made the inost of the chances of
to-day.V
"Bobcrf.!" said Jiin, solemnly, "You
are a credit to your family. I am afraid
you will be of home account in the world!'
and with that Jim got up and left tho
room, while Bob seized his hat and was
off to the orchai-!, where he saw his
mother gathering harvest apples. Chris

eminent occasion that has develope l this gath

oa tbe threshold of tiie future peering into t!,e

Init far health and prosperity, let us not b for

their names to the declaration that favu birt h

So lonz as our nation properly celebrates this

planted deep in the hearts of American people
and its great Strength Is in their love, their gra

Forget this anniversary, ungratefuily forget
the brave liberty loving men ol the revolution,
the heroes of 1812 and our noble boys in blue,
and the priceless legacy of freedom. Tiiich they
left us and the danger to our iustitutious will
Inrtoad be imminent.
When we let the fires go out in Freodoin's

for subjugation and to be slaves.
And what a beautiful custom to celebrate each

to keep alive the waichfires kindled by our

And as their effulgent flames mount heaven

Passing along the road and beholding,
the beautiful crops, I could not help
but think how ; the. farmers . hearts

but it is an old saying, "we are.
certain of nothing but death," during,
