BUILT UPON THE SAND.

by ELIZA COOK.
'Tis well 10 woo, 'tis good to wed,
For the world has done,
Since myrtles grew and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have care, so young and fair
Be sure you pledge with truth;
I'm 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, ~ ra
You'll find you've played the unwise part,
And built upon the sand.
'Tis well to save, It's well to have,
A goodly store Of gold ....5
We hold enough Of shining stuff,
For charity is cold.
But place not all your hope and trust
In what the deep mine brings:
We cannot live on yellow dust,
Unmixed with purer things.
AID he who piles up wealth alone,
Win often have TO stand
Beside his Golfer chest, and own
'Tis built upon the sand.
'Tis good to speak in kindly guise.
And sooihe where'er we can;
Fair speech should bind the human mind,
And love, Ike man to man.
Bat stay not at the gentle words.
Let deeds with anguish dwell,
The one who pities starving birds
Can scatter crumbs as well.
The mercy that is warm and true,
Must lend { helping hand,
For those who talk, yet fail to do,
But build upon the sand.

After the fire commenced, an occupant of the

dow, unlocked 1t and took out his books, but was
driven back By the flames leaving the door open.
Arriving at the scene just at this moment and
learning It's situation, made an unsuccessful at
tempt to get to it and lock it. then offered re-
ward of 500 to daring fellow to go in and lock
the safe. He accomplished the feat and soon after
the floor fell with the safe into the basement It
contained papers to large amount the distraction
OF which would have been as irretrievabe as bank
bills. The Safe was subjected to an intense heat
surrounded by large amount of combustble ma
terials On removing the Safe from the fire after
1t had somewhat subsded, (he Safe still being red
hot) the papers were taken out ss bright new, in
the most perfect order. The wooden lining of the
Safe was not disfgured at all, and presented ap
pearapce of fire. The door-plstes are warped, one
wheel melted, and another partly melted of. The
lock, however, works well Respectfully yours,
