FORGIVE THINE ENVY.

rONVi n I N Z N Z NJ Y.
Yes, yes, let man, when his enemy weeps,
Be quick to receive him friend;
For thus on his head in kindness he heaps
Hot coals-to refine and amend;
And hearts that are Christian more eagerly
yearn,
As nurse Oh her innocent pet,
Over lips that, once bitter, to penitence turn,
And whisper, Forgive and Forget.

Want. misery. disease and shame,


Want, misery, disease and shame,
And crimes that even | shudder to name,
Dance and howl, in their hellish glee,
Around the spirits you've marked for me
o! selling of grog is good device
To make He'll Of Paradise
Wherever may flow the fiery flood
1t is swollen with tears, it is stained with
blood
The voice that was heard ere while in prayer
With its mutter'd curses stirs the air,
And the hand that shielded the wife from i'll
In its drunken wrath is raised to kill.
Hold on your course, you're filling up
With the wine of the wrath Of Gop, your
cup;
The fiends exult in their homes below,
As you deepen the pangs of human woe,
And long shall it be, if have my way,
Ere the night Of death shall close your day,
For to pamper your lust for the glittering
pelf,
You rival, in mischief, the devil himself
No more said the fiend, for clear and high,
Rung out in the air the watchman's cry;
With choking sob, and half formed
scream,
The grog-seller walked, for twas all dream;
His grizzly guest with his horns had flown
The lamp was out and the fire was gone,
And sad and silent his bed he sought,
And long of the wondrous vision thought.
RULES TO BE OBSERVED BY Visitors
IN AN EDrToR's OFFICE:
Enter softly.
Sit down quickly.
Don't touch the poker.
Say nothing interesting.
Engage in no controversy.
Don't smoke.
Keep six feet from his table.
Hands off his papers.
Eyes off his manuscript.
If ne is a decent man, he will put what
he does not wish within your reach-then
pour over to your hearts content.
It he IS abrupt or looks savage, take il
for granted he is stalled-and vanish.
