MODERATION.

IL sts li ~ @s+f@t - Af a--' g l3f
Be moderate in all things,
. Excessive in none, '9}9E
> In great things and small things, si
nsi The king on his throne, i'1N
The soldier, the peasant,
May learn in a word t-s
To moderate the sceptre,
~ The spade and the sword.
Be moderate in eating,
Nor sit at the board 5.,.. &
Like miser bent over
-. His long gathered hoard.
Be moderate in drinking,
Nor drain deep he bowl,
~ For Deaths at the bottom,
In wait for your soul. ~..
Q Be moderate in thinkirg; f8a
The bow toe long bent
", Has never the shaft ftt'
..'s!..t, To the mark with force sent. AZ
Be moderate in friendship,
To all bat few,
And these to your bosom
Clasp loving and true;
If poverty stands st
~ The door, you may test,
.el By the touch of his cold hand,
- Your brayest and best.
Be moderate in love
While you're ardent and young;
u But if your hearts fame
Finds vent through the tongue,
- Let it be like an unsheathed
= ;'i Patriots sword,
ae.'E Ever ready to act
'9i In accord with your word
Be moderate to censurc,
Nor deem it UNIV Sc
To shut ON the faults
OF another your eyes;
For if through glass
His shortcomings you view,
He may look upon yours
With microscope, too.
Be moderate in getting,
For over-much wealth
lnsures not conf eminent,
Nor pleasure, nor health;
But, blest with sufficient,
Give some to the poor
Enough, if you just
Keep the wolf from the door.

Freedom of opinion.

No country can be free and prosperous;
unless every citizen feels secure in the ut
terance Of bis political and religious senti-
ments, inside Of law. There is no more
sense il individuals holding diverse political
notions letting that fact cause personal dis
seuions than there is in persons quarrellng
because they belong to different churches
A free government. like our own, is based
upon the fullest toleration Of sentiments in
regard to political matters. Acitizen who
would prescribe Or ostraclse another for
holding opinions differing from bis own, is
not 6t to be free himself. II be had the
power he would be q dcspot, and banish,
imprisou or guillotine his opponents, as is
done ia France. A man that has not NOR
al courage enough to utter and to act out,
BY voting, his honest convictions in regard
to this or that party, is to be pitied. lie
should remember, ''it is base abandon.
mcnt Of reason to abandon our right Of
thought" and Of action also.

An Old Incident,

Sambo wasa thoughtful old darkey.
There had been several sickly seasons in
that particular Virginia district. and the
nmber Of deaths had been large; and in
the distribution Of funeral cards his mas.
ter was never forgotten. On a sudden all
Of these cards had disappeared. Tho
master summoned Sambo aud enquircd Of
him. Sambo trembled with apprehcn-
sion.
"Praiso dc Lord, massa, | won't tell o
lie. Use got 'um."
"What! got all Of thcm?"
"Ycs, ycs-but don't wollup me. I'll
60 an fotch 'um."
And with this the old darkey hurried
away, and soon returned with score or
more Of the missing cards.
"Hero dey is, massey, all safe and
soun-eb'ry one Of 'um."
In the namo Of wonder, what did you
want Of such batch Of mourning cards9"
"As true as de Lord, massa, | didn't
mean no harm. Use berry old, | specs
I'll die fore long; and so | to'tPdlay desc
up to send to dc ole darkies on the oddcr
plantations to come to my funeral"

Goodness and Courage.

>NNtN'NNS
Not long since aSwss shcperd boy, only
fourteen years Of age, was tending q flock
Of sheep among Canton Grisons, when q
bear mado raid upon tho flock and seized
two ofthc finest sheep. Tho courageous
little fellow attempted to drive tho bear
off by beating him with stick, but bruin
turned upon him, and ho was forced to
run for bis life. The bear was gaining
rapidly upon him, and there was seeming
ly no escape, Suddenly tho lad be-
thought himself Of q narrow ravine, three
hundred feet deep, close by, across which
he could leap, while he hoped the bear
would not notice it, and fall to the bottom
Dashing on, halfwild with excitement and
dread, be reached the edge ofthe procipice,
the bear close at his heels. The chasm
was upward Of six feet wide, but the lad
