Maiden, I thank thee for thy face, Thy sweet, shy glance of conscious eyes; For, from thy beauty and thy grace, My life has won a glad surprise. I met thee on the crowded street A load of care on heart and brain And, for a moment, bright and fleet, The vision made me young again. And thPn I thought, as on I went, And struggled through the thronging ways! How every age?s complement The age that follows overlays. The youth upon the child shuts down; Young manhood closes over youth; And ripe old age is but the crown That keeps them both in changeless truth So, every little child I see, With brow and spirit undefiled, And simple faith and frolic glee, Finds still in me another child. Toward every brave and careless boy Whose lusty shout or call I hear, The boy wit41in me springs with joy 4nd rings an echo to his cheeri What was It, when thy face I saw. That moved my spirit like a breeze, Responsive to the primal law Of youth's entraacing harmonies? Ab! little maid-so sweet and shy Building each day thy fair romance Thou didst not dream a yqqth passed by, When I returned the glance (pr glance! For all my youth is still my o%n, Bound in the vol-pme of upy age, Ad breath from thee bath only bl(wn The leavas back to the golden page! gee $tore. Lila's To - Morrow, Mrs. Rubens sat by the open window of ber little gitting roo;n. E with an un4pished piece of work in her hands; but her hands had dropped idly in her 14p, the white, weary fingers refused to take up the shining little needle. Tell-tale tears stood in her soft blue eyes; i but she wiped them quickly away, s she heard Lilia open the door and come up the stairs with light, uick stpg Lilia-avith the summer sunl shine in. her hair like waves of gold-with her' soft eyes shining like the tender blossoms half hid den under the green leaves of the violets-with the pink blushes kissing her' cheeks into loveliness, and laughter waiting on her red ip. Whbat wonder that the. mo the's tired eyes gre w bright again as she watched her darling's bright young face ! "What has hiappened to you, my love ! Your face is as glad as a rose !" "It ought to, he glad,--since such good fortune has come !" she t'aid, smiling. "Poor mamma, you've grown tired waiting for it, I know." "Tell me all about it, or I shall fear you have dreamed it," Mrs. Rubens replied, softly. Liha quickly divested herself of bon net and shawl, gnd, drawing a low stool to her mother's side, sat down and leaned her head against her knee. "I shouldn't wonder if you had forgotten that it is the first day of May to-day," she began, look ing up in her mother's faco; "but I never forget it when it comes, for I think it is the swets day in the year ! So, when lessons were over, I took my box of col ors and those bits of pine board that I painted white last week, and went up the hill to Fairy's Hollow." And Lilia stopped to take one long breath of delight, while her mother stooped to kiss her glow ing cheek. "Everything was beginning to brighten, mamma. The softest of South winds crept through the grass with murmuring caresses; the flowers were coming up in beautiful clusters all over the hollow ; and overhead-in the elm trees-I do believe a hundred hap py birds were singing. I sha~ll paint it 80ome day, mamma ?" "And I shall look at it and enjoy it," said Mrs. Rubens ; "only you must put yourself into the pic ture, Lilia." "Yes, I suppose so," said Lilia, doubtfully ; "but I think it would be nicer without me. But I am comin to the best part of all-so listen, mamma. I had finished a hazy, blue sky, had sketched a dis tant hill lying softly against it, and a little lake in the foreground, half bordered with willowf, when a shadow fell upon my picture, and looking up, I saw a funny lit tLIe old man leaning on a stick and looking at my work. He laughed, and then sighed, gnd said, just as if be'd.4een talking to himself: "'I used to do it, too, when I was young and foolish like you.' 'Now y.ou know, mama, dear, nobody likes to be ewlipd foolish, and I suppose .I did look a little cross, for he sighed again, and 3aid, so mournfully 'I wouldn't hurt your tend'er heart for the world; child'! But lon't you see you have lbft out lie shadows ?' "'I don't see any shadows to put 1n,' I said. 'It's May-'dAy, ind shadows don't fiall in my wor!(J :g a4ay-y' 'hat's just it,' he said, sigh ing again, as if hw saw nt"-g but sbadows. hat's just it, my ild. You are young and gay Lwarted, and all the world looks bright to you ; but the brightness !od for me before you were orn.' "When 1. came to look at him, be didn't look so very old, either, iot more than forty years old ; but he did look as if he had had ome great'sorrow to bear." "But wh6 is he, Lilia? I hope you don't often have seh adven ures, or I shll be afraid to let ou T.mble about alone. Ie may iave been crazy." Lilia laughed joyously. (4o, no, mamma! He is as ane as I am. He is the gentle pan who haa bought the beautiful iouse on the hills and he is an trtist; and when I am not giving essons to.. those tiresome little Dollys, and Miriams, and-Chris ,abels, he is to give me lessons; tnd he says he can sell my pic. ,res for me-all that I will >aint. "But, Lilia, lessons from a great rtist witi ooat something ; and 1ow can you pay him ?" "Oh, that is the best of it. Hc lot want any pay until he has old my pictures, and he says I shall soon be rich." .Mrs. Rubens hesitated a little while, but could not long resist he pretty, pleading face lifted to er own; and so the next week ound. Lilia takingilessons of the tranger-artist, and making rapid' rogressz Even her mother, who est knew her enthusiastic temn eramnt, was surprised to see what she accomplished. The weeks went by more rapidly han weeks had ever gone by be Eore ; and Lilia had finishbed four pictures-charming little land capes in summer and autumn olors. . he had been at -home a week assisting her nmother, who had not been as well a nsual, and had not touched her pencils, though she did look IoJgingly up the- bright hill-path a:nost every day-when one day a servant from the house on the bill came to the cottage wiith a letter for Miss Lilia IRubens. Letters were not with Lilia ev ery-day occurrences ; and she pull ed open the envelope with spark ling eye and glowing cheek. The color did not fade in her heautiful cheeks when four rustling bank notes dropped out from the folds of thick, satiny paper. Her mother picked them up in silent astonishment, while Lilia read the letter. When she had finished the last lie, she t,ossed it in to her mother's lap with a little cry of delight. "One hundred dollars, mamma, for my pictures! What happy to morrows we will have some day! We will have a home of our own, w here you shall preside in all your own sweet dignity, and never be tired or careworn any more. And we will make ljt',Je summer excur sions out into the world and see the beautiful places that I have dreamed of. To-morrow won't be a dream then, mother, but a happy reality." She did not tire yet ot talking of her to-morrow, which already glimmered in the horizon with a .o light, until her mother kissed ber, and told her she must not sit up to see it. "It will come all the same, dar ling, whether you wake or sleep; and yc w.must be up early so as to go up and thank your artist friend. Se, be doc not sign his name," she continued, smoothing out the cream-hued paper; "and it is strange, tbat Q. one seems tQ know it." "I'll ask to-iorow," said Lilia, laucghing, "and youl curiosity shalt bp satis4fed.' .jut when Lilia, after thanking him, in her own sweet, impulsive fashion, for taking so much trou ble to find a purchaser for her pictures, did ask him, he was mute, and a vexed frown oo e his featue. Her own face was covered with crimson blushes in a moment, ard at that 6ight he smiled again. T - hvp been your friend, more for Your mo*Lhoi s .k alt- your o.wr) Ohuld and you may tell her that I will call to-morrow and see if she remembers Hugh Mur ray." Lilia could scarcely wait until she reached home to find out th'e mystery, but she did riot discover it then. Perhaps Mrs. Rubens, dreams had been haunted by a pair of brown eyes that used to look lov ingly into her own ; perhaps she remembered a musical voice that used to ring in her ears in the care less days of her own girlhood. Be that as it may, when his name dropped from Lilia's lips, she turned away without a word, and' shut herself into her own room, where Lilia dared not follow. She was away, giving a les son in drawing to Christabel Gold ing, when Hugh Murray called'at their little cottage, and so did not see the pink blush on her mo t4er's face. as. the. old lover took her hand; she missed seeing the tear that stole down the pink cheek as- he -told overagain the story he thought he had told so many years befor~e. "And you really wrote me that, Hugh ? And you. thought :me heartless-when I never got youn' letter ?" ^Lilia heard that much as she passed under the sitting room window ; and she rushed in jnst in i ne to see flugh Murray stoop to kiss her mother's cheek. -And the mystery was explain ed ! It seenred queer at first, of gourse ; but Lilia was a sensible airl and made the best of it ; and. fo-day she is a quee:n at Murray Nil1,.spoiled, as her mother con stantly assertsp- by her artist friend. Lilia laughs and tosses her head, and then runs out in the gar den to wander up and down the rose borders, and wonder when her romance will begin?y But her "to-morrow" -will surely come. *PLAIN TALK TO Grats.-Your every day toilet is a part of your character. A girl who looks like a '!furry" or sloven in the morn ing, is not to be trusted, however finely she ma~y .look in the even ing. No matter how humble your room .may be, there -are eight things~it should con tain, viz:* a mwirror, washstand; soap,.towel; comb, hair-, nail and tooth brushes Paj ents who fail to provide their ~children with such appliatices not only make a great mistake, but commit a sin of Omission. Look tidy in the morning, and after the dinner work~ is $nished improve your toilet. Your dress may, or nedd not be anything better than calico, but a ribbon, or.a flower, or some bit of ornament, you can hve an air of self respect and sat isfaction, that invariably comes with being well dressed. The road to honor which Christ indcates may be through some Gethsemane, and has a cross on it somewhere, but that cross is the last step up to the throne, and the dominion thus acquired endures. The old ought to treat the young with benevolence ; and men should be kind to children, remem ering that childhood is especially ar to God. FoR THE HERALD. BROADBRIM'S PARIS LET TER. 140. 22. The British colonial displays are among the first attractions at the Exhibition. It is safe to say that no two special displays can be designated as more conspicuously popular than the Indian Court and the Canadian Trophy-the former with the rare offerings of the great est chiefs and princes to the h the Britieb thLrojAe and empire, com prising all ma:ner of gifts illustra tive of the handicrafts of India, and the latter an intereating monu ment of e ooloay in America, w-o" planned and Well Z&ecuted, and the W Ly tasty exhibits found on every turn as one-climbs the windy stair ways or pauses a moment on a half-balcony, well arranged. The Australian colonies are gems in the diadem of that kingdom on whose possessions the sun never sets. Australia, to the European mind, is a remote land of which it has lit tle conception more than a vague vision of a kangaroo and a boome rang. To be sure there is gold cowing from that land far across the seas, but a more distinct idea is not usually possessed of that im mense country, with its thriving cities, its multiform manufactures, and, more than all, its unsurpassed agricultural resources. South Australia, one of the most thriving of the colonies, has a court which, though not large, is one of the most instructive and interesting in the Exhibition. It contains grain, wool, ore, some manufactured stuffs, and a score of curiosities illustrative either of features in its past history or present life. Since this colony is termed the granary of. Australia, we do not look in vain among the exhibits for grain. The Adelaide wheat dis played in the section is reported to have received~ the highest award given for this product. I speak of the wheat first, as it seems to me to stand at the head in the list of South Australian .exhibits. It is manifestly appropriate that the highest award given a country in which over two-fifths of the male population of the community are1 engaged in farming pursuits, should be for some product marking its progress~ in that direction. As I am .getting a little statistiea- I will add here .ethat, since -1851, -when South Australia took the gold med al for wheat at, the London Exhi bition, she has increased her grain crop from 50,000 acres to over one million. Two-thirds of~the -~total area of land cultivated is cropped with this cereal. Wool and wool products form the second most important- display. One .case with eight sanples, each a separate shearing, is magnificent. About one hundred fleeces of sui perior merio are in the Exposition. There are whisperings that a gold medal is soon to shed its splendor on this Australian wool. Some rugs form an important part of the group of wool products. The offi cial catalogue of the court shows that there are thirteen exhibitors in this class. 126,000 bales is the annual export of wool The class of Fermented Drinks is an extensive one in the South Aus tralian classification. Th1e white and red wines are numerously ex hibited in the Court and experienced tasters pronounce them of the first quality especially the former, which are rich and full-bodied. Vine culture is an important and pro gressive industry of the colony and an exhibition without some evi dence of it would not fairly repre sent the country, for both the soil and climate are particailarly suitable to the growth of the grape ; and, moreover, whilst the local demand for wines is fully supplied at very cheap rates, there is a con siderable export trade of the vin tages of a higher character. The wines expressed from the slope growths are of a character simlar to those of Spain and Portugal. Those made in the more elevated distrits resemble the lighter wines The drying of raisins and enr rants is an occupation in which the colony is fairly engaged, and in this connection it certainly is rAot out of place to mention the ap pearance of several cases in the Exposition. The same climate and soil that fosters the grape grows great orchards and gardens,! and so we find huge apples and pearF that| seem to have outgrown the limits of respectable measurement and in dulged in an unseemly obesity, and I other fruits of a giant race, the cause of favorable comment by the visitors. If M ore .Was, vouChsafed us %e would write a word or two of I the silk cocoon display, but I am warned that it I do. that I shall Yes;step limits. L. th_refore, come at once to the mineral display, one of the best features in the court. That gorgeous carbonate, malachite, of which Russia is supposed to have a monopoly, is shown in many conditions by South Australia. An enormously large piece, which left Philadelphia with a medal, came from the depths -of one of the lar.. gest.mines, the Burra-Burra. "No -little of the colony's prosperity is due to the employment of a large number of its people, directly and indirectly in the working of her copper mines," one of the men in charge of affairs said to -me the other morning,and he gave a long array of figures tabulated with all the accuracy of a good and-faithful servant, but I hate forgotten them all except that something like four million dollars' worth of copper is yearly exported. At tie time-I was too -busy examining -the specimens of ore, the rich ingots and the rolled slips of which there is a lib eral allowance here. The emu is- a bird to which the South Australian exhibit is drawing a large share of attention. A muff made of 'its skin; and-s twin sister of the one in which the Princess of Wales will this winter protect her royal hands from the cold, is ex hibited along with several unmanu factured skins. And then its eggs are shown in various conditions, "raw and manufactured," one might almost say to use the stereotyped catalogue sub-head. You can buy one of the great greenish--black spheroidsfor twenty francs. These are blown -and fit for- curiosity bunters. To those who are not gso interested in curiosities as to c'are for the "rae," why they can pur chase the "manufactured," namely, the eggs mounted in gold or silver, formifig all' manner ofixiantle or naments, vases,pitobers, jewel-boxes, and .nick nacks. .Quardong -nuts are shown -made up into necklaces and fancy articics. Two cases of stuffed animals and birds relieve thie court of a mono tonous' simnilarity. -The birds are some, .of them of magnificent colors, suggesting in the burniished bril liancy- of their plumage those of more tropical climes. The species are nearly all small. The wea pons and strange utensils of the natives remind us of the primitive days; not many decades back after all, for the Australian colonies are yet young. A short half century ago Australia had no history ; to day the pages are fast filling up. As weapons of world wide reputa tion 'the boomerangs are of imme diate interest to the loiterers in the galleries who spend a few moments among the South Australian. exhi bits. Other deadly instruments of combat- grotesque and terrible, spears with deadly shafts, clubs, swords and hatchets,-tells the si lent story of a race of which to-day there is scarcely more than a shadow. -So swift is the advance of civilization. ~ Passing once again in review all I have seen in the South Austra lian Court, I believe that it fairly represents the prosperous colony at home. 'It is an interesting ex. hibit because it shows features of the national life. The glory of its people is its soil, and in the palace[ of the Champ de Mars its greatest | reward is for an agricultural pro-| duct. One cannot fail to recognize, as Commissioner Boothbj writes in his sketch of the colony, in glancing 1 at this display, the' great succes that has attended the enterprise of'' a handMni nf Englishmen who, with Dut adventitious aid, have estab Lished during a single generatiolT 1ourishing commnity,'ebrodiE nost. of the social and material ad 7antages of th. ,er country and nuch of the Old World's eiviliza ion, condubcive to the happiness md prosperity of a people.

Truly yours, BROADBRIK ESS AND ESSES. "So you have finished your studies at the seminary.? much pleased with the closing ex ercises. The author-of-that poem -Miss White, I think you. called her-bids fair to become known as a poet." "We think the authoress will become celebrated as apoetess, remarked the young lady pertly, with marked emphasis on two words of the sentence. "Oh, oh !" re 'lied the old gen tleman, looking thoughtfully over his gold spectacles at the young lady.. "I hear-hi-sister was quite an- actress, -anc-MdrMi& s Hi mer's instruction wisl undoubtedly beuome quite a eculptere'ss. The young lady abpeared irri t4ted.

From the Presidentess down to the humblest teacheress unusual talent is shown. There is ia Harper. who is a chemistress, is unequaled, and Mrs. Knowles has already a reputation as an a.stron omeress. And in the depai-ttent of 'music, few can equal Misa Kellogg as a singeress." The yong lady did not appear to like the chair she was sittin on. She took the sora at' tfe' other end of the room. "Yes," continued the old gentle man as if talking to liimse1f, "those 'White's sisters are, rj"y talidd.'
