The Mirror of Life.

Do you wish for a kindness? Be kind.
Do you wish for a truth? Be true.
What you give of yourself you find;
, Your world is reflex of you.
For life is a mirror. You smile, ■
And a smile is your sure return.
Bear hate in your heart, and erewhile
All yonr wirld with hatred will burn.
Set love against love; every deed
Shall, armed as a fate, recoil; 1
You shall gather your fruit from the seed 1
You cast yourself in the soil.
Each act as a separate link
In the chain of your weal or woe.
.Pups ye offer another to drink •
The taste of their dregs ye shall know. I

Shorter Gossip.
Shorters friends all know of her
achievements in the .literary, artistic
and musical world aud are impressed
with the brilliancy of these, both- at the
weekly recitals and at the commence
ment exercises, but few of them know
that one of the factors in her progress is
her literary society which has for years
existed under the name of the “Polym

includes ‘ ‘Trench on Words’’ and as the
