I" Mans a vapor,
Full of woes.
Cuts a c3per


And down he goes"
Genius has the power of condensing mighty
truths into a small compass, as is illustrated
by the quotation which leads this article
]. Mans a vapor.
This shows that man is forever puffed by
vanity; that his most mighty deeds and loft
lest sayings are but wind; that when he talks
It's gas, when he wakes eloquent It's fog, and
when he becomes angry, It's all smoke.
g Full of woes.
This is graphic description of the condi-
tion of man. Witness; corns; gout, tootha che,
hypo, matrimony, and other innuinerable evils
to which flesh is heir.
s. Cuts a caper.
This is another startling truth Every
man cuts caper-some wise and foolish
He does not cut his neighbors capers, but his
own and every one is known by the caper
he cuts, and we are taught that his final hap
piness depends upon whether the capcr he
cuts is good or evil. But be that as it may,
his end is solemnly and impressively shadow
ed forth in the concluding line,
Aud down he goes I"

Song of The Soul.

BY. S. D. 2.
Art thou faithful; upward tending!
Glory waiteth for thee here!
Art thou faithless; Life's dark ending
Sinks thee downward to despair;
Ask thy spirit where it goeth;
Question closely for it knoweth;
Mark the path thy feet are treading;
See thy footprints left behind;
What's the influence thou art spreading
In the commonwealth of Mind!
Raiseth it toward Heavens portal,
Lounging of thy brother mortal.
