A CHAPTER on "Gumption-"

The word 'gumption, derived from the
old Saxon 'gymene' or 'gyman, to observe
or be careful, is not generally found In our
dictionaries, though of comparatively COM
mon use. Lest some doubts as TO its sig
MITIGATION should prevail, an exchange has
volunteered an illustration of its meaning
He says: When farmer pays taxes on
five hundred acres of untitled and untenced
land covered with blackberry bushes, when
he might derive more profit from half a
dozen properly cultivated, he is not BURDEN
ed with much 'gumption.
When young man, just setting up In
business, keeps horse and carriage at an
expense of tw dollars per day, and iails
in six months, when he might walk ior
nothing, and continue his business In sale
ty, you may be assured that he lacks 'gump-
tion.'
The person who deals justly, loves mer'
cy, walks humbly, and pays for his news
paper is the one, above all others in thu
fworld, who exhibits the largest share
.yumption.'

THE WORLD WOULD BE THH BET
TER FOR 1T.

II men cared less for wealth and fame,
And less for battle-helds and glory;
If writ in human hearts, name
Seemed better than in song or story;
II men, instead of nursing pride,
Would learn to hate it and abhor it,
If more relied
On love to guide.
The world would be the better for it.
If men dealt less in stock and lands, 9.
And more in bonds and deeds fraternal;
lie loves work had more willing banda
To link this world to the supernal;
IL men stored up loves oil and wine,
And on bruised human hearts would pour it
If 8. yours and ss mine''
Would once combine, \
The world would be the better for it.
If more would act the play Of Life,
And fewer spoil it in rehearsal;
II Bigotry would sheath its knife
Till Custom, gray with ages grown,
Had fewer blind men to adore it
If talent shone
In truth alone, 49,
The world would be the better for it.
II men were wise in little things
Affecting less in all their dealings;
IL hearts had fewer rusted strings
To isolate their kindly feelings;
II men. when Wrong beats down the Right,
Would strike together and restore it,
IL Right made Might
In every fight,
The world would hs the better for it.

THE LITTLE FROCK AND SHOES

A little frock but slightly worn,
or blue and white de laine,
With edging round the neck and sleeves,
Law folded, neat and plain;
Beside little pair OF shoes
With here and there a flaw,
Law half concealed among the things
In mothers bureau draw.
Summer had passed away from eartn
With all her sweetest ties,
The birds had left their summer haunss
For more congenial skies;
The twilight breezes sweetly played
Among the dews of even
An angel left his home on high,
To gather flowers for heaven!
The angel near and nearer came,
Where sister sick did lie;
Then gently fann'd her faded cheek,
And pointed to the sky!
The morning shone upon the bed,
The autumn wind blew free,
The angel moved its silvery wings,
And whispered, "come with me-"
We gathcr'd round her dying bed,
With hearts to weep and pray,
And many Were the tears we shed,
When sister went away!
0N No bitter tears had she to weep"
No sin to be forgiven,
But closed her little eyes in sleep,
To open them in heaven!
We laid her in the earth's green breast,
Down by the village green,
Where gently weeps the dewy grass,
And summer flowers are seen;
And often, when dear mother goes
To get her things to use,
see her drop silent tear
On sisters frock and shoes.

to the arm or other warm part OF the body
for few seconds, until it attracts smell

woolen cloth of close texture, such as doe
skin, or what is commonly used for panta-
