while the greater part of his wealth

For nearly half century he filled

This makes the number, up to this

New Jersey have, by the action of
Democratic Legislatures, withdrawn
their assent. Congress, however,
has refused to recognize the right of
these States to repudiate their pre-
yious ratification. All the non Sc

California, have passed upon the
amendment, and only three Of them,
Kentucky, Delaware, and Maryland

the approval Of three~iourths Of the

Building On the Sand.

It's well to WOO, It's coed to wed,
For 50 the world hath done
Since nyrtles grew, and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have a care, We young and fair,
Be sure you pledge with truth;
Be certain that Your love will wear
Beyond the days of youth
For ifye give not heart for heart,
As well as hand for hand,
You'll find you've played the "unvise'' part
And built upon the sand
IT'S well to save; It's we'll to have
A goodly store of gold
And hold enough Of shining stuff,
For charity is cold.
But place not all your hope and trust
In what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust
Unmixed with purer things.
And he who piles up wealth alone,
VIII often have to stand
Beside his cofer-chest, and own
Ills built upon the sand"
IT'S good to speak in kindly guise,
And soothe where'cr we can;
Fair speech should bind the human mind
And love link man to man
But stay not at the gentle words;
Let deeds with language dwell;
The one who pities starving binds,
Should scatter crumbs rs well.
The mercy that is warm aud true
Must lend helping hand,
For those who talk. yet fail to do,
But build upon the sand"
