SUMMER TIME 
Oh, sweet fierfnme of bad nod bleoni, 
On west winds fluidly winging! 
I nlnxwt hear the voices clear 
Of bine-bells softly ringiug; 
Of elfin hands that break the bands 
Around eiirl] Howard closing, 
Tlnd spring to life, with visions rife, 
Their glory all disclosing; 
Of voices fleet, as swift and sweet 
As fairy echoes ringing, 
T!mt softly breathe where blossoms wreathe, 
Tlieir balmy odors flinging. 
The wild bees cling where garlands swing, 
In dreamy fragrance sighing, 
AVithiu each call, where echoes dwell 
To list their low rejdying. 
The temlrilN dwell in shade and shine, 
Aronod each pillar gleaming, 
And redly turn where bloaaoms buru, 
Lika criuiauu banners streaming, 
A brighter gleam on hill and Btream, 
And on the shining river. 
Whose pulses thrill the petals still 
That idly dance and qniver. 
lly fmgTnuce stirred, each fleet winged bird 
Sends from its free heart welling 
A wild, sweet song, that lingers long, 
Above the blossoms swelling. 
The rejihyrs stray o'er bloom and spray, 
Id t, nd r silence grieving, 
And huger yet, as in regret, 
With wayward footsteps leaving. 
And overall the spenders full 
Of sunset aiories dying; 
And ws creep whore flowerets sleep, 
lientiilh the south winds sighing.

THE TWO GARDENS. 
Two gentlemen built themselves beauti¬ 
ful houses, and attached to each was a 
spacious flower garden. There was in cad, 
a little fountain, with its pretty borderin 
of rockwork around t.lui basin, its coo 
green lichens and emerald mosses, Each

of beauty. But mound one

peaches and apricots, and 
love the sunshine; l.utnrj one even enjoyed 
the sight of lliese beauties, except a select 
few who walked through (lie garden paths 
with the owner and bis family. 
The other enclosure was only a lattice 
work of slender but substantial iron. The 
sight of all the gems of beauty collected 
there was open to all. The proprietor 
rejoiced in the thought that so ninny hearts 
were daily cheered and gladdened by the 
view. It uhvavs gave a double zest to bis 
own enjoyment to see a row of little faces 
pressed against the lattice, eagerly drink¬ 
ing in the. beauty of the scene. It was 
; rare, indeed, t hat they went away without 
a baudful of gay flowers, a peach or a 
cluster of grapes in their hands. 
While his neighbor's heart was growing 
| colder all tin-time in Ins stately, ahut-up 
! garden, he was growing larger-hearted, 
loving and beloved. He was scattering 
blessings all about, him, while the other's 
life \vua like that of a glittering, polished 
icicle. 
On the very same principle many live all 
through their days. 'They shut up the 
fountain of kindness in their hearts, so 
that no rill of pleasant, cheering words 
(low forth from it to gladden other lives. 
How bles'cd the opposite life of one who 
scatters -imbonjn* in the homes of the 
poor, in the groups of merry children that 
he meets in the crowded market-place or 
busy shop—and, above all, who carries his 
brightest, gladdest cheer into die bosom 
of Ijih own home circle! Do not shut up 
voiii happiness, but let nil who will, rejoice
