THE BEGGING CHILD.

A radu frail form

Nenth ragged cloak, With soft sad eyes That mutely apoke; And rippling down Her blue-vained neck, Bright waves of brown With golden spack On each stray ourl; While shyly spoke

The beggar girl

To passing folk.

Ah, homeless wait so early thrown

On this'co'd world, anesred, alone;

Pleading for bread with faltʼring tone

To heartless man;

Who deaf with greed, proud Mammon'salave, Boer thes alowly but surely starve, Yet giver not o'en a crust to save

Life's waning span.

The cold wind swept Adown the street, And rude caressed Her blue, bare feet ** The heartless tide With jest as rude,

Unfeeling eyed

Her as she stood,

With tear stained chosk,

And same swoot prayer, Hungry and weak,

Bo mild and fair. Better, O God! if thou hadst Inid Her with the loved ones, peaceful dead, Than she thịs stormy way should tread

Could stain and soil.

TALEXT is something, but tast is every. thing. Talent is serious, sober, grave and respectable; tact is all that, and more, too. It is not a seventh souse, but is the life of all the five. It is the open eyes, the quick ear, the judging taste, the Len amell, and the lively touch; it is the inter- preter of all riddles, the surmounter of all difficulties, and remover of all obstacles, W.

Robespierrs and the other chiefs were in a small room preparing manifestoes and signing doeroas. They were curiously unaware of the movements of the Conven- tion.

PATRIOTISM is another element of personal influence. We use the word in its broad sense, a love of country and countrymen of Chure and Churchmen, of citizenship and citizens, a love of social ties and of society, and a love of anything that tends to the unity and benefit of humanity. This virtue brings man as man into contact and sympathy with his follows. Let it be known that a person is a lover of his fallows in the associated relations which tend to public improvement, and he is accounted a banofactor. He is a power.

́ELEMENTS of character are seldom brought out until men are placed in positions of traat, whether in business or in office, where they develope them. Business relations and official responsibilities will in time bring out whatever of goodness or of bad ness, of nobleness or of meanness is in s man. Office and trust of any kind clothes a person with increased opportunities for good or for evil that do not belong to non- officials or untrusted ones. It bringe his name before the people, and it brings him luto contact with the people, not as a man moraly; but as a man lifted into a position of trust or of power. It is on this principle that titled men, who honor their titles, are more influential-with the masses than are the untitled. But no matter how many nor how significant the titles that may adorn the name, personal character and power really graduate the man.

ROBESPIERRE,

THE FALL OF THE LEADER OF THE REIGN OF TEREOB.

Robespierre was crushed by the relent. less ferocity and endurance of his antago nists. A deares for his arrest was resolved upon by acclamation. He cast a glance at the galleries, as marveling that they should remain passive in face of an outrage upon his person. They were mute. The ushers advanced with hesitation to do their duty, and, not without trembling, carried him away, along with Coathon and Siz. Just, The brother, for whom he had made honor able sacrifices in days that seemed to be divided from the present by an abyss of contaties, insisted with fine heroism on sharing his fate, and Augustin Robespierre and Le Bas wore led off to the prisons along with their leader and Idol.

An aggressive attack by the party of authority upon the party of insurrection was unknown in the tradition of revolt. | They had an easy assurance that at day break their forces would be prepared once more to tramp along the familiar road westward.

THE LIFE OF THE HOUSE-FLY.

The commonest insect on our continent is the house-fly (Musca domestica): and yet how many know its life-history? Every

Packard Jr., gives an account of his investigations into the subject, which wore pursued two summers ago. This observer placed a house-fly in a glass bottle, where she was secure and yet visible; and in fourteen hours noted that she had deposited 120 eggs. These were long, slender and cylindrical and a little smaller at one end than the other. They were laid in irregular heaps on the bottom of the bottle, and, just forty-eight hours after, a number of them bad hatched, and the young maggots were crawling around in guest of something to eat. Again, the observer placed some fresh horse-manure at an open window in the sun, and added new masses from time to time during several weeks. This, being suited to their needs, attracted numbers of flies, which deposited eggs in the oracks and crevices or on the surface; and thus their young were under the eye of the naturalist in all stages of their development.
