A G LIMPSE OF YOUTH.
BY DR. J. G. HOLLAND.
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!

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

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
