And those who shrll

But yield the play,
And clear the way

And squandcr weplth IN show,
For friends thus won are sure 70 run

To iawn and whine, much less repine,
To borrow or TO lend
The faults Of men
Are fewer when
Each rows his own canoe
For ieuds and debts,
And pampcred pets

It never pays blunt refrain
Well worthy Of a song,
For age and youth must learn this truth,

has mirror cunningly placed outside, and
fastened to the further window-shutter of the
second story, and turned toward the front
door, rejecting all applicants for admission
On seeing the callers, he servant is directed
to admit them or report the lady Of the
house "out," as convenience and inclination
may dictate. This custom has long been in
use In Brussels. In that city the mirror is
also used for street views. The private resi-
dences are provided with them. fitted to al.
most every room fronting on the streets, SO
that the ladies may occupy themselves at
their work or play, secure from observation,
and yet have panoramic views OF all that
passes in the streets without leaving their
seats.
