Rowing Against the ride.


1t is easy 10 glide with Its rlpples,
Adown the stream Of Time,
To flow with the course OF the river,
Like music TO some old rhyme
But ah ! It takes courage and patience
Against the current TO ride,
And we must have strength from Heaven
When rowing against the tide.
We may float on the rivers surface,
While our oars scarce touch the stream,
Our visions OF earthly glory
On our dazzling sight may gleam:
we forget that on before us
The dashing torrents roar,
And while we are idly dreaming,
It's waters will carry us Ger.
But few-ahl would there were many
Row up the "Stream of Life"
They struggle against its surges,
And mind neither toll nor strife;
Though weak and faint with labor,
Singing triumphantly they ride
For Christ is the hero's captain
When rowing against the tide.
For on through the hazy distance,
Like mist ON distant shore,
They see the walls of the city,
With its banners floating DER
Seen through glass so darkly,
They almost mistake their way,
But Faith throws light ON their labor,
When darkness shuts out their way.
And shall we be one of that number
Who mind not toll or pain?
Shall we moan the loss of earthly Joys
When we have a crown to gain?
Or shall we glide on with the river,
With DEATH at the end OF our ride,
While our brother with Heaven before him,
Is srowing against the tide7

High ART in Lying.

A gentleman of transatlantic 'raisinp'
had mentioned the exceedingly likely)
fact that he had seen as many as fifty
snakes up tree at one time. A stupid
Britisher having Ventured to eyince q
decided iEeredulity, "Waal, stranger
said the Yankee, "there wor forty"
"Forty! but that is as wonderful as fif.
ty," exclaimed the other. "Waal, stran-
GER" was the rejoinder, "you seem tar
nation hard to please, we'll say twenty,
there! and Pm darned if l don't fght
afore l take off another snake" But
even this as Irregular clincher" must
yield to the following: A yankee, prob
ably the same man, having told an En-
g!ishman that he shot, on one particu-
lar occasion, nine hundred and ninety
nine snipe, his interlocutor asked him
why he didn't make it q thousand at
once? "No," said he, "not likely Pm
going to tell a lie for one snipe."
Whereupon the Englishman, rather
"riled," and determined not to be out
done, began to tell long story of a
man having swum from Liverpool to-
Boston. Did you see him." asked the
Yankee, suddenly, "did you see him
yourself?" Why, yes, of course l did,
l was coming across, and our vessel
passed him mile out of Boston har-
bor" "Waal, I'm glad ye saw him,

She played with her apron string for
a few moments. "It seems unfair not

"No."

Morton saw the ring flashing on her

Alice Downey was Violets most in
innate friend. One pleasant day in
spring as they were walking under the
trees, the former said:
"Violet, it is not true that you are

Violet looked around in astenish-

"Certainly not. Why do you ask o.

one of the lectures the ssntsnce,
"Mary milks the cow" was given out
to be parsed. Each word had been
