DoN'r ever 60 hunting for pleasurcs-
They cannot he found thus, know,
Nor YET TALL a-dlgging for treasures,
Ohless with the spade and the hoe
The bee has to work for the honey.
Inc dfonc has no right to the food,
Aud he who has not earned his money
WIZ get oil bis money no good.
The ant builds her house with hcr labor.
The squirrel looks out for his mast,
Mud no who depends on his neighhor
WIZ never have friends, first Or last.
In short, 'ils no better thsn ihlevinr,
Though hicr Is harsh namo 10 call
Good things to bc always receiving,
Aud never to give back At ali.
And do not put on TN tomorrow.
The thing that you ought to do now,
But first set the share in the firrow,
Aud then set your hand TO the plOw.
The time Ia too short to bc waiting,
The day makoth haste to the night
And it's Just NJ hard work to be hating
Your work as to do 1t outright,
Know this, s,too, before ycu are older,
Aud all the fresh morning II gone
Who puts to the worlds whcul q shoulder
Is he that viii move tho world on
Don't weary out viii with delaying,
Aud when you are crowded don't stop;
Believe me there's truth In the saving
There always Is room al tho top
To conscience he tine, and to man true.
Keep faith, hope aud love in your breast.
And when you have d0uc all yuu can do,
Why, then you may trust Tor tho rcsi.

Still IN DoUBr.- withstanding the
books have been posted and the result an
nounccd, it is by no means foresone con-
clusion that tie 18th Amendment will
become part of our organic law. There
is at least fair chance that it may not
be adopted, all the prophecies to the con-
.rary notwithstanding. If ten States re-
fuse to ratifythe amendment, it cannot
become a part Of the Constitution Five
have already rejected ir-namcly, New
Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, Georgia, and
kentucky. Maryland and Oregon will have
Democratic Legislatures, which will re-
ject it as soon as they assemble Cali
fornia will certainly elect a Legislature in
September which will reject it, as the pco-
pie Of that State are violently opposed 20
Chinese enfranchiSement Tennessee has
elected a Legislature overwhelmingly
Democratic. which will, beyond doubt,
reject 1t. Here are nine States certain
against the amendment. But one more
is required to defeat it. Rhode Island
has thus far refused to ratify. Minneso-
ia has done likewise Virginia. Missis-
sippi, and Texas will not ratify except
under compulsion. Nevada, Kansas, and
Missouri ratified imperfectly, and Iudi-
ana unconstitutionally. These facts fur
nIsh good ground for hope to the oppo-
nents of the amendment, and afford great
cause Of alarm to its projectors The
former have reason to be confident rather
than the latter ; for but single State is
required to defeat the amendment, while
Counting Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, and
Nevada as having ratiied) seven States
must yet ratify in order to make it part
of the Constitution.
