Waiting.

Learn 10 wait-l!fes hardest lesson,
Conned pcrchance, through binding tears,
While the heart-throbs sadly echo
To the tread Of passing years.
Learn to wait--hope's slow fruiion
Faint not, though the way seems long;
There is Joy In each condition ..
Hearts, though suffering, may grow strong,
Constant sunshine, howe'er welcome,
Ne'tr would ripen fruit or flower; fh
Giant oaks owe halt their greatness ..
To the scauIing tempcsts power.
Thus a soSl, untouched by sorrow,
Aims not at higher state;
joy seeks not brighter morrow,
Only sad hearts learn TO wait. T
Human strength and human greatness
Spring not from lie's sunny side;
Heroes must be more than driftwoOd
Floating on a wayelcss tide.

WooDMAN SPARE THAT TREE.-The
advance in lumber, which has followed
the immense destruction OF growing
imber by the fires in Wisconsin and
Michigan, should recall the attention ofthe
public to a subject which has often been
roliced, ye: but iuadequately considered
the growing scarcity of the wood sup
ply OF our country. 1t is not only for
mechanical purposes that large grOwths
# woods should be encouraged. The
removal of forests has a marked, aud in
some respects very injurious effect upon
the climate OF districts lying near them.
This, added to the necessity OF cheap
building material to the prosperity of
The country, should lead to reversal of
our present wLsteful policy. In the old
world the forests are carefully guarded,
md no trees are felled without provision
being made for their replacement. We
can not have royal foresters in repub-
lie, but we can exercise prudence and
| common sense.

sisters are apt to hear from brothers

when fathers and mothers do their duty

hatterers. Those women who prefer tbs
society of gentlemen, and who have the
faculty of bewtching their senses, never
are in the way of hearing from this cold

T" Wearing Out"

An eminent F0rentine, one Of the
literary and philosophical friends Of
Lorenzo de Medici, Is credited with this
saying: "a painter will wash his brush
aud train his pencil, smith will look to
his hammer, anvil aud Jorge, a husband
man will mend bis plow.irOn and gIind
his ak IL il be dull, huntsman will have
an especial care for his hounds and his
horses, musician will string and tune
his lutte the Hterdti alone neglect that
instrument, the brain, which they daily
use, by which they range over the world,
and which by much study is worn out"
This is true Of many literary men, but
by no means all, and in these days the
observation would apply equally to bnsi.
ness men who toll with their brains, aud
give item no rest until their meUtal
powers are worn out, and their physical
endurance also, for one invariably follows
the other.
