to an individual who said somebody was not
calculated to win lady's heart because he was
not handsome:
Begging your pardon, Solomon, that's a

man should be handsome. Let him pray the
gods, in the first place. to make him gentle
man; gentleman at home as well as abroad.
Let him stipnlate for fine figure and courtly
manner, and leave it to their discretion, after
that, to shape his eyes, nose and mouth. provided
they don't make them perfectly hideous.

raises no blush the cheek of humble inno-
cence; who holds in contempt no living thing
that God has made; who can pity the weak and
errlng, without pharisaically reviing; who can
argue without loss of temper and dignity; who
scorns bride or an oath who has an arm for
trembling age, smile for prattling infancy, and

Since myrlles grew and roses blew,

But have a care, ye young and fair
Be sure ye pledge with truth;
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days Of youth;
For if we give not heart for heart,
As well as hand for hand, [part,
You'll find you've played the "unwise'
And built upon the sand"
IT'S well to save, tits wellto have
A goodly store of gold,
And hold enough Of shining stuff
For Charity is cold.
But place not all your hopes and trust
In what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust
unnixed with purer things.
And he who piles up wealth alone,
Will often have 10 stand
Beside his Golfer chest and own
IT'S "built upon the sand"
IT'S good to speak in kindly guise,
And soofhe where er we can;
Fair speech should bind the human mind
And love link man to man.
But stay not at the gentle words,
Let deeds with language dwell;
The one who piiies starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as we'll.

Must lend helping hind,
For those who talk yet fail to do,
