Know no Such Word as Fail.

A thousand things can be done when cir
culnstances oblige us to put forth an effort
which, were it not for such obligation, we
should suppose we never could accomplish
No man knows what he can do until he is
put to the test. Extraordinary occasions call
forth extraordinary effort, and accomplish
wonders. A man when frightened can lift
an article Weighing three times as much as
he could under ordinary circumstances. Let
a weak woman be under nervous excitement,
and it would require several strong men to
hold her Nature has what VIC call reserve
repositories of strength to be drawn upon in
cases Of special emergency; but all the
strength drawn therefrom leaves the subject
just SO much reduced until these repositories
are again replenished These facts have been
proved in thousand cases. Still no one
would believe that he could command so great
an amount Of physical strength till he is con-
WINGED Of it, by the actual emergency that
calls it out. The same may be true Of men,
tai and business power. Men know not what
they can do till they make an effort in good
earnest Thousands have said, Il will try
and have succeeded beyond their own ex-
travagant calculations. As in the physical,
so in the mental man, there are abilities which
lie hid waiting for the proper occasion to
draw them out, and there are occasions in ev-
cry mans life when they are called for, and
then isthe time that either makes OF breaks
the man. When these occasions do not oe-
cur, men know but little what they can do
perhaps it is not necessary that they should
know. But when they arrive, then is the
call for action. Let none say Il cannot" II
will try" should be your motto-and trying
is everything.

Gen. Grants Father as a Poet.


Gen. Grants father having received appli-
cation for photograph of himself and wife,
wrote:
In reply toyour request for my photograph
[ will adopt the response which recently
made to application from lady in Washing
ton, who asked me for my OWE and Mrs.
Grants.
s.AIiss c. my kind good friend
As you request, herewith send
neatly taken photograph
Of Mistress Grant, my better half
The pictures good, the likeness true,
Which now present to you.
/ also send you one of mine,
Though that, indeed, is not SO fine;
This was taken four years ago,
Before let my whiskers grow,
And to you may now look wrong,
But right to those who'ye known me long.
My best respects herewith send
To you and your roommate friend,
And say to both for what you want,
Just send your card to J. r. Grant!'
Upon reading these lines, Prentice, of The
Louisville journal, concludes that if the
author Of such idiotic stuff has son fit to be
President Of the United States, it is time fol
men of sense to stop having children. Anc
if they won't stop Of their own accord they
should be disqualified by legal enactment"

DIVINE COMPASSION.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

Long since dream of Heaven had,
And still the vision haunts me oft;
| see the saints in white robes clad,
srhe martyrs with their palms aloft,
But hearing still in middle song,
The ceaseles cssonnance of wrong;
And shrinking, with hid faces, from the strain
Of sad beseechng eyes, full of remorse and pain.
The glad song falters to wall,
The harping sinks to low lament;
Before the still uplifted veil
l see the crowned forehcads bent.
Making more sweet the heavenly air
With breathings of unselfish prayer;
And voice saith; 80, pity which is pain,
0, Love that weeps, fill up my suferings which
remain! p
.'Shall souls redeemed by me refuse
Ioshare my sorrow in their turn
Or, sln-torgiven, my gift abuse
Of peace with selfish unconcerns
Has sanity ease no plying care?
Has faith no work and love no prayer?
While sin remains and souls in darkness DWELL
Can Heaven itself be Heaven and look unmoved
on hell :"
Then through the gates of pain I dream
A wind OF Heaven blows coolly in;
Fainter the awful discords seem,
The smoke of torment grows more thin.
Tears quench the burning soil, and thence
Spring sweet pale flowers of penitence;
And through the dreary realm Of mans despair,
Star-crowned an angel walks, and, 10! Gods
hope is there!
Is it a dream? Is Heaven SO high
That pity cannot breathe its air;
Its happy eyes forever dry,
Its holy lips without prayer?
My God! my God! if thither led
By Thy free grace unmerited,
No crown nor palm be mine, but let me keep
heart that still can feel, and eyes that still
weep.
