Not always smooth or always broken.

Tramp, tramp, when storms are blowing,

A steadfast heart will kerpus going.
May path will seem more plain,
Many knave will lie and co1sn;
But hold thine own with might and main,
And koop tho track that thou hast chosen.
It's in the light and in tho dark,
IT'S over hill and through the hollow;
Well fix our eyes upon the mark,
And if we cannot lead, we'll follow.
Tramp, tramp, when skies are fair,
Tramp, tramp, whom storms are blowing,
If our strength
Should fail at length,
A steadfas. hoart will keep us going.

Go hasting with mighty clattcr;
God speed them all and if they jeer
The tramps afoct, what does it matter
Grudge them not the present hour,
Nor faint and murmur like craven,

A .trorce story il told of two sisters a

A strange story is told of two sisters at
Berlin. About three years ago, one of these
young ladies was engaged to be married, but
on tic bridal morning became so i'll that she
could not possibly 60 to the church. The
bridegroom was desirable one, and he was
a fish who, it seems, had not easily been
hooked, There was, therefore, great danger
in delay; SO, instead of postponing the mar.
riage. the second sister, covering herself in a
long vel, personnated the first, and duly
went through the ceremony. The moment
it was over, she transferred the brdaledress
and ornaments to her sister, who, in her in
nocence, vas thus considered to have all
proper claim to thisshusband she married by
proxy. 1tis only recently that discovery
has been made Of the real facts, and proceed
