Bsautiful Answers.


A pupil of the Abbie Seicord gave the
following extraordinary answers:
What is gratitude
Gratitude is the memory Of the heart
What is hope?
Hope is the blossom of happiness.
What is the difference between hope and
desire?
Desire is tree in leaf; hope is tree in
flower, and enjoyment is a tree in fruit.
What is eternity?
a day without Yesterday or tomorrow
"a day without end,
What is time
A line that has two ends a path that
begins in the cradle and ends in the grave.
What is God?
The necessary being, the sun of eternity
the machirest Of nature, the eye of jus
tice-the matchless power Of the Universe;
the soul of the world.
Does God reason?
Man reasons because he doubts; he eel
ebrates--he desires. God is Omniscient,
he never doubts, he therefore never rea-
sons.

Postal Incident.

4 young man from the rural district
went in the post Office, the other day, With
a bank not for dollars worth of stamps.
He was told that paper money was not re-
ceived He then went for Spanish quar-
tiers. .

The Bankrupt Law.

The New York Independent speaks the
sentiments of large class of people on
this subject, as follows:
But one opinion seems to prevail at
present in regard to the necessity Of hav-
ing some just and equitable bankrupt law
Such law is called for by both debtor
and creditor, and the state Of the country
is such that immediate action is required.
The debtor asks for legislative action and
relief, that he may have a chance, once
more, to go to work. The creditor de-
mands uniform law 10 aid him in bis col
lections, and to prevent him against sharp
practice and fraud Business men by
thousands, all over the country, have been
made bankrupt by the present rebellion,
and the question is whether such men shall
be laid upon the shelf TIE battle field is
not the only place where man has been life
mamied and life crippled. Every mart of
business has its wounded, groaning suffer
ers. who demand our sympathy alike with
our bleeding sorrow stricken soldiers
They have not been pierced with rebel bull
lets bat they and their families. haying lest
their earthly all. are bowed with suffering

ed in the flesh Samaritan sympathy is
in order, at all times and everywhere. and
now is the time TO show it. Many Of cur

Cheer for the Disheartened

It is sad thing when any person, old
or young, goes through his work in a cowed
spirit, l do not mean, goes through it in
jaded, heartless way merely, but goes
through it in the bare hope of escaping
blame. A great part Of all that is done
in this world is done in this way Many
children, many servants, many clerks, and
even several parsons, 60 through their daily
rounds thus. ] need not say how poorly
that will usually be done which the man
wishes just to get through without any
great repro baton; but think how unhappily
it will be done, and what miserable train
ing of the heart and mind it is. 1t seems
to me that few people do their work heart
ily, and really as well as they can Aud
people whose desire is merely TO get
through somehow, seem to stand to their
work as level below it. The man who
honestly does bis best, works from above
his task is below him he is master of it,
however hard it may be. The man who
hopes no more than to escape censure, and
who accordingly aims at nothing more,
seems to work from below; bis task is a
bove him; he is cowed by it. Let US re-
solve that we shall always give praise when
We can. You will find many people who
are always willing to fad fault With tLeir
servants, if they do anything wrong, bat
who never say an approving word when
thev DO right. Yea will fn5 many ub9 d

AN OLD MANS DREAM
By o. W. HOLMES.

Oh for one hour Of youthful joy
Give back my twentieth spring
I'd rather laugh bright-haired boy,
Than reign a grey-haired king.
Off with the wrinkled spoils CT age!
Away with learning's crown
Tear out life's wisdom written page,
And dash its trophies down!
One moment let my life-blood stream
From my boyhood;s fount of fame
Give me one giddy, reeling dream
Of life all love and fame!
"A listening angel heard the prayer,
And calmly smiling said,
. If but touch thy silver hair,
Thy hasty wish had sped.
. But is there nothing in thy track
To fondly bid thee stay,
While the swift seasons hurry back
To find the wished for day?
All, truest soul of womankind
Without thee what were life:
One bliss I cannot leave behind
Ill-take-my precious wife
The angel took SAPPHIRE pen
And wrote in rainbow dew
. The man would be boy again,
And be husband too "
=" is there nothing yet unsaid
Before the change appears?
Remember, all their gifts have fed
With those dissolying years !"
Why, yes for memory would recall
My fond parental joys;
/ could not bear to leave them all
I'll take-my-girl-and-boys!
The smiling angel dropped his pen
Why, this will never do ;
The man would be a boy again,
And be a father too ! !"
And so laughed-my laughter aWoke
The household with its noise
And wrote my dream, when morn'g bro
To please the gray-haired boys.
