The fruit trees are blooming to-day --Monday--and seem to have come out all In a jump, and by moonlight too. There could be no fairer morning than this, and It seems as though there oould be no country more beautiful than this is now. While wandering through the woods tbe other day I came across something whica made me pause, wonder, and brought to me a world of thought. It was a little grave. A quaint little thing ft was too, trimmed with the richest of green moss; the bead marked by a tiny cross and tbe center decorated with wild flowers--sweetest violets and buttercups once, then fad ed and lifeless. You would hardly have noticed It, so small it was, bad your footsteps not led you directly there. I wondered as I sat down be­ side it if some childish hands had burled with tearful heart aches seme favorite pet or toy. But no, tbe earth was undisturbed save where the sur- soundlng hedge was laid and children's feet would not stray so far even for the fairest wild flowers. I wondered then if some one grewn weary of bat­ tling with woes and cursed with an inadaptability to cope with the res­ ponsibilities ot life, had. In an idle gloomy hour, traced out there that little grave and burled, not in earth but lu a melancholy mind, some bright hopes and ambitioas. That seemed most probable, yet how could it be true? How hard it is to believe that any life must be so sad when each and every day earth grows more beautiful, and tbe grand artist--Natore--puts a few mere touches to ber pictnre, and even now the birds are singing, tbe dew drops dancing in the warm sun­ light, and heaven's bluest sky smiling above that little grave. I kpow that we haveonly to live this life once, and I am sure the good Lord Intended we should enjoy It and this beautiful earth too. Forget, then the dark, sor­ rowful days, and the silver will be much more reluctant about creeping about your temples and sorrow's lines across your brow. Good-bye. WHEAT WANTED.
