FORGET ME NOT, DEAR HARRY.

Forget me not, dear Harry, When lam far away ; Believe in a heart sincerely, That cannot ever stray.

Then think how sad and lonely, This aching heart will be, Which whilst it throbs, throbs only. Beloved one, for thee.

Yet do not deem I doubt thee; I know thy truth remains ; I could not live wit hout thee For all the world contains.

Thou art the light that guides me Across life’s troubled sea, And whatever fate betides me, My heart will steer to thee.

LOVE OF THE BEAUTIFUL. Placb a young girl under the care of a kindhearted, graceful woman, and she, unconsciously to herself, grows into a graceful lady. Place a boy in the establishment of a thoroughgoing, straight-forward, business man, and he becomes a reliant, practical, business man. Children are susceptible creatures, and circumstances and scenes and actions always impress them. As you influence them, not by arbitrary rules, nor by stem example alone, but in'a thousand other ways that speak through beautiful forme, pretty pictures, etc., so they will grow. Teach your children then, to love the beautiful. If you are able, give them a corner in the garden for flowers ; allow them to have their favorite trees ; teach them to wander in the prettiest woodlets ; show them where they can best view the sunset; rouse them in the morning, not with the stem “ Time for work," but with the enthusiastic, “ See the beautiful sunshine 1” Buy for them pretty pictures, and encourage them to deck their rooms in his or her childish way. Give them an inch, and they will go a mile. Allow them the privilege, and they will make your home pleasant and beautiful.
