DUTY AND INCLINATION. “ Stay at home,** said Inclination, “ Let the errand wait.** “ Go at once,” said Duty, sternly, " Or you’ll be too late.” “ Hut it rains,” said Inclination, “ And the wind is k«*en.” “ Never mind all that,” said Duty, “ Go and brave it, Jean.” ♦ Jean stepped out into the garden, Looked up at the sky ; Clouded, shrouded, dreary, sunless, Kain unceasingly. “ Slay,” again said Inclination. “ Go,” said Duty, “ go.” Forth went Jean with no more waiting, Or a selfish “ No.” You will smile if now I tell you That this quiet strife, Duty conquering Inclination, Strengthened all her life. —Children s Frtend.
