HOW TO LIVE.


He liVeth long who liveth well
F All other life is short and vain;
He Iiveth longest who can tell
OF living most for heavenly gain.
lie liveth long who lfveth we'll
All else is being flung away;
lie liveth longest who can tel ... B.
CT true things truly done each day,
Waste not thy being; back to him
Who freely gave it, freely give;
Else is that being but dream;
Ills but to be, and not to live.
Be what thou seemest! live thy creed!
Hold up to earth the torch divine;
BE what thou prayest to be made;
Let the Masters steps be mine.
Full up each hour with what will last;
Buy up the moments as they 20;
The life above, when this is past, .
Is the ripe fruit OfliE. below.
Sow truth, if thou the true wouldst reap;
Who sOws The false shall reap the vain;
~ Erect and sound thy cOncienee keep;
From hollow words and deeds refrain.
Sow love, and taste its fruitage pure;
Sow peace, and reap its harvests bright;
Bow sunbeams on the rock andmoor, --
And have harvest-home- of light.
The Words Of Strength.
BY SCHILLsR.
There are three lessons would write
Three words as with a burning pen,
In tracings OF eternal light
Upon the hearts of men.
Have Hope. Though clouds environ now,
And sadness hides her face in scoIn,
Put thou the shadow from the brow
No night but hath it's MORN
Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven
The calIn's disport, the temPest's mirth-
Know this God rules the hosts of heaven
TIL inhabitants of earth.
Have love. Not love alone for one,
But man, thy brothers call,
And scatter like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul
Hope, Faith and LOve-and thou shalt find
Strength when LIES surges rudest roll,
Lisht when thou else vert blind.

How oUR SOLDIERS WORK N TRExcH-
Is IL may be a puzzle TO conceive how
our men can throw Up Notifications right
IN the face and in plain sight Of the enemy.
without being seriously disturbed BY thera.
A brief description nav be interest
ing. inasmuch a. ia caano, be contraband.
because the work is done right under the
noses Of the rebels.
\ working party Is detailed for night da-
iy and muskets slung on their backs. and
shovels and picks on the shoulders. they
proceed 20 the selected ground. The
white tape marks the line Of excavation.
the dark lanterns are faced 20 the rear--
the muskets are carefully laid aside, the
shosels are in hand. and each man silently
commences TO dig. Not a word is spoken.
not one spade clicks against another; each
man digs hole large enough to cover him
self; be then turns and digs 20 his right
hand neighbor; then the ditch deepens and
widens and the ParAPet rises. Yet all is
silent, the relief comes and the weary ones
retire; the words and jests Of the enemy
are ofen plainly heard. While no noise
from our men disturb the stiffness save the
duh rattle Of the earth as each spade fun is
thrown TO the top; at daylight long line
OF carthworks, afording complete protee-
ton 90 our men, greets the astonished ewes
Of the enemy. while the sharpsbooter bal
lets greet their ears Frequently this work
Is done in open daylight. the sharpshoOters
and Pickets keeping the enemy from annoy
ing our men.
