The Reason why.
BY THE BARD OF TOWER HALL


We're neutral but the public, We
Must ever keep advised
The entries in Times Day Book made,
Must all be Journaze1.
Full many of them will be found,
And truthful TO the letter.
The millions to the Tower Hall,
For splendid barsains-Dr.
The millions know this will be right,
As many men have boosted
OF entries made their account,
and in the 3 Ledger posted
In truthful rhymes-apd of account
Are made the entries all,
In black and white correctly by
The Gard of Tower Hall.
Should any ask the reason, Why
Does Bennett keep poet
He has u reason for it, and
We here will plainly show it..
Dame Fortune is upon the road,
And Bennett would entreat her
To smile upon the Tower Hall,
And send a Bard to meet her
Dropping the figure, Bennett knows
That Bards have many readers,
When for the public good alone
They are the special pleaders.

when the luxury of ice in Summer is
once enjoyed, it will not be readily

upright posts one foot from the inner
sides Of a building, and two rows of
posts foot apart, for the other two
sides Of the room; make the enelOs-

between the ice and the sides Of the
room, and FIJI this with sawdust. Also

Our Own Faults.

Let us not be over-curious about the
ailings of others, but take account Of our
own; let US bear in mind the excellen-
cies of other men, while we reckon up
our own faults, for then we shall be we'll
pleased to God. For he who looks at the
faults of others, and at his own excel
lenCies, Is injured in two ways; by the
latter he is carried up to arrogance,
through the former to listlesness. For
when he perceives that such an one hath
sinned, very easily he will sin himself /;
when he perceives he hath in aught ex-
celled, very easily be hecomelh arrogant.
He who consigns to oblivion his. own ex-
cellenCies, and looks at his failings only,
while he is a curious engineer of the ex-
cellencies, not the sins, of others, is prof
table in many ways. And how! will
tell you. When he sees that such an one
hath done excellent, he is raised to emu
late the same when he sees that he him
self hath sinned, he is rendered humble
and modest. If we act thus, if we thus
regulate ourselves, we shall be able tc
obtain the good things which we are
promised through the loving kindness ol
our Lord Jesus Christ,-Sf. ChrySOstom
