THE BEAUTIFUL CONVICT

THIS SINGULAR STORY is ACTUALLY TRuP
Rose Mac Orme was a rare sample of
Scotch beauty. Her eyes deeply blue, as
Loeb Lomond; glowing cheeks hair light
and glossy, parted over her broad forehead
like folds of faX-coored satin features
which shrewd and active mind had strong.
y developed a tall, muscular frame. Of
stately proportions, and firm, elastic, ra,
pid tread, which she had acquired in earlv
days, wien
Down the rocks she leaped along
Like rivulets in Nav e.
Her youth was unfortunate, her mother
lad died during her infancy; and her prof
llgale and selfish father had abandoned her
before she had reached the age of fifteen. -

UNCERTAINTY OF LIFE.

ny BISHOP HEBER.
Beneath our feet, and DER our head,
Is equal warning given
Beneath us lie the countless dead,
Above us is the heaven
Death rides on every passing breeze;
He Turks in every flower;
Each season has its own disease,
Its peril, every hour
Our eyes have seen the rosy light
Of youths soft cheek decay,
And fate dcscends in sudden night
On manhoed's middle day.
Our eyes have seen the steps ofagc
Halt feebly towards the tomb,
And yet shall earth our hearts engage,
And dream Of days to come ?
Turn, mortal, turn thy danger know:
Where'er thy foot can tread,
The earth rings hollow from below,
And warns thee Of her dead.
Turn, christian, turn! thy soul apply
To truths divinely given;
The bones that underneath thee lie,
Shall live for hell or heaven

SHORT SAYINGS

Avoid an angry man for awhile, malicious
one forever.
Oblivion is the cure of injuries.
>, lie is every day condemned, who is always
in fear.
Ho who flies from the law, cannot fly from
conscience.
He who gives speedily to the needy, gives
twice.
when you assist the virtuous, you lay an
Obligation on the whole world
- signliies nothing 10 have been generous,
II you cease TO be so.
Some things are wanting to poverty, but all
things ale wanting TO avarice.
ufeedIness in riches is but abused poverty.
