"Tell him TO come up, of course" said
Annie, laughing.

Mrs. Warrington, resignediy, "for your

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

Life's like a race where some gucceed;
While others are beginning,
'Tis luck in some, In others speedj
That gives an early winnings;
But If you chafice to fall behindi
Meier slackefi your endeavor;
Just keep this wholesome truth Id tn1tid,
"'Tis better late than never"
And If you Keep ahead, tits well;
But never trip your neighbor;
'Tis noble when you can excel
By honest, patient labor;
But IL you are outstripped at last,
Press on as bold as everi
Remember, though you are surpassed,
"'Tis better late than never"
Meier labor for an idle boast,
Or victry DER another.
But, while you strive your uttermostI
Deal fairly with a brother.
Whate'er your station, de your best,
And hold your purpose ever;
And, If you fail to do the rest,
"'Tis better late than never"
Choose well the path In which you run
Succeed in noble daring
Then, though the last, when once tits won
Your crown is worth the wearing.
Then never fret IL left behind,
Nor slacken your endeavor,
But always keep this truth in mind,
"'Tis better late than never"

NOTHING LOST.

Nothihg is iost; the drop of dew
Which trembles on the leaf or flower
Is but exhaled to fall anew
In Summers thunder shower.
Perchatice to fall within the bow
That fronts the sun at fall of day;
Perchance to sparkle in the flow
OF fountains far away.
