Tin well to woo, Hit) well to wed,
For so the world liuth dono
Ouce myrtlea grew and roues blew,
And morning brought the sun;
But have a care, ye young and fair
Be sure you pledge in truth; \
lie certain that your lovo will-w ear
Beyond the days of youth I
For if ye give not heart for heart,
Ah well um hand for hand.
You’ll find you’ve played the unwise par*
And “built upon the uund.”
Tin well to save, *ti« well to have
A goodly Btorc of gold,
And hold enough of whining stuff,
For charity is cold.
But place not ull your hopes and trust
In what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust
Unmixcd with purer things.
Ami lie who piles up wealth nlono
Will often have to stand
Beside the cofler chest and own
lie “built upon the sand.”

which was formerly supposed to he the

which gives the extreme discomfort ex

The egg is eom.idored to he one of the
best remedies for dysentery. Beaten
up slightly, with or without sugar, and
swallowed at a gulp, it tends, hy its
emollieyt qualities, to lessen the inilum-

; u healthful sway over the diseased body.
Two, or at most three, eggs per day
would be required in ordinary cases, and,
since the egg is not merely medicine,
but food as well, the lighter the diet
otherwise, and the quieter the patient it?
kept, the more eortaiu and rapid is the
recovery.
Tin good to speak iu friendly guise
And Boutho where’er you cab;

Should scatter crumbs as welL

A rout all of the Chinese shoemakers

i reason for quitting the place is that
they can earn more money at laundry

pins. A correspondent of the Boston
Ifcrald says: “Schools were estab
lished for the dusky visitors, and the
good ladies of the town turned mission-
‘ uries, and taught them to read and speak

were apt pupils and quick to learn, while
others were stupid and appeared to take
little interest iu the work that was being

others cling to the customs of their
