PET'S PUNISHMENT. Oh, if my love offended me,

And we had words together, To show her I would master bo, I'd whip her with a feather! If then she, like a naughty girl,

Would tyranny declare it, I'd give my pet a cross of pearl, And make her always bear it. If still she tried to sulk and sigh And threw away my posies, I'd satch my darling on the diy, And smother her with roses. 'Bat should she clench her dimpled

fists,

Or contradict her betters," I'd manacle her tiny wriste

With dainty golden feltors. And if she dared her lips to pout- Like many port young misses- I'd wind my arm ber waist about, And punish her with kisses.

THE JOY OF INCOMPLETENESS.. If all our lives were one broad glare

Of sunlight, clear, unclouded; If all our path were embath and fair,

By no soft gloom, enshrouded; If all lifo's flowers were fully blown

Without the sweet unfolding, And happiness were rudely thrown On hands too weak for bolding-

Should we not miss the twilight hours, The gentle hasa and sadness; Cors, Should we not long for storms and show To break the constant gladness!

If none were sick and none were sad,

What service could we render;

I think if we were always glad,

We scarcely could be tender,

Did our beloved never tasd

Our patient ministration,

Earth would grow cold and miss indeed

Its sweetest consolation:

I sorrow never claimed our heart, And every wish were granted, Patience would die, and hope depart

Life would be dieenchanted, And yet in heaven is no more night,

In heaven is no more sorrow | Such unimagined new delight.

Fresh grace from pain will borrow➡- As the poor seed that underground

Seeks its true life above it, Not knowing what will there be found When sunbeams kiss and love it,

So we in darkness upward grow

And look and long for heaven, But cannot picture it below

Till more of light be given,
