One day, when be had been standing up for a particularly disreputable specimen of humanity, a friend said to him: How Is It that you can always think of something pleasant to say about everybody under the sun? Tha bishop laughed. Well, you see, ho said, thera Is so much good In tho worst of us. and so much bad In tho best of us. that It does not become any of us to speak 111 of the rest of us. K.

From them souls unresting grow. Grow on for the good or evil. Sunshine streamed or evil hurled. For the hand that rocks the cradle Is tha hand that rocks tho world. Woman, how divine vour mission, Hera upon our natal sod; Keep oh.

keep the young heart open. Always to tne breath of God! All true trophies of the ages Are from mother-love Impesrled. For the hand that rocks tbe cradle Is tha hand that rocks the world. Blessings on tha hand of woman. Fathers, sons and daughters cry.

And the sacred song Is mingled With the worship In the sky: Mingles where no tempest darken. Rainbows evermore are hurled. For the hand that rocks tho cradle Is the hand that rocks tho world. I have copied the above poem for the inquirer. B- E.

Fall Rivee We give with the present, number an engraving of one of tho moat powerful pictures of one of tho moat famous of German painters. Of him It has been eald that ha la one of tho greatest poets of tho ago. for hla paintings era tragic poems, dealing with human life nnd destiny. Tho Lions Bride, painted by Gabriel Max. is from one of Chamlsaoa poems, nnd is a striking composition, not only from tho character of tho Incidents which It portrays, but from tha power of tho artist In drawing and painting, with alngular fidelity, the masterpiece of animals as well aa the human figures and their accessories.

Tha woman who Ilea In her bridal robes, dead In the grasp of tho majestic beast, was tha daughter of tho keeper, and tha favorite attendant of tho animal, who seemed to have conceived a wild and paaslonata fondness for her. Her mirriut and companionship with a man to whom her attentions seemed transferred ixclted the fierce Jealousy of the dreadful brute; and when, to appease hla frightful cries and apparently maddening torments, the poor girl went fearlessly, aa she had so often before. Into hla den. she was selxed in hla awful fangs, and killed before the of her horror-stricken bridegroom. THE LIONS BRIDE From the German of Chamlsse Dio following 1s a translation of the pom which original Panting of Tho Lion lirlile by the great German artist.

With tears tha maid murmurs her tala of distress.

With kingly Impatience thou shakest thy mane. Dear one. canat thou not see my grief and my pain? Xou dost not believe me: no longer am Tho child that iliou playdst with in days now gone by.

Oh, were a child, to remain by thy side. My beauty! my darling! my Joy and my pride But follow I must, for. alas! I am led Far awaj to a strange land, a stranger to Ho says that he worships tha beauty I hate! Ah. would I could free me but It la too late! Tho wreaths In my hair, tha good pastor appears. My poor eyes era heavy, with hot, blinding tears Thou underatandest my words look not un in alarm, I am now more composed, and be thou also calm.

My bridegroom approaches, ao take thou then this, give thee, my darling, a last parting Kla But ere the young girl can arise from her knees. Through the grating, her lover the fierce lion sees. The Iron rage shakes with hla furious stride, And he holds In hla grasp the poor trembling bride. lie then stands on guard before the wide door. And lashes hls tall, with a loud, angry roar.

She Implores, she entreats, in accents of To her prayers he Is deaf, and will not let her go.
