LOST HIS CUE.-The advent of a
Chinaman into Penitentiary is in
variably the signal for fight. The
law requires that his cherished pigtail

disgrace, and he resists. To properly

LESSONS WORTH PRBSER WING.

A lesson in itself sublime,
A lesson worth enshrining,
Is this g. / take no note of time
Save when the sun is shining"
These motto words a dial bore,
And wisdom never breaches
To human hearts a better lore
That this short sentence teaches.
There is no grove on earth's broad chart
But has some bird to cheer it;
So hope sings on, in every heart,
Although we may not hear it.
And If to-day the heavy wind
OF sorrow is expressing,
Perchance to-morrow's sun will bring
The heavy heart a blessing.
We bid him joyous moments haste,
And then forget their glitter;
We take the cup of life and taste
No portion but the bitter;
But we should teach our hearts to deem
The sweetest drops the strongest;
And pleasant hours should ever seem
To linger round us longest.
The darkest shadows of the night
Are just before the mornings;
Then let us wait the coming light,
All boding phantoms sconing;
And while we're passing on the tide
OF times fast ebbing river,
Let's pluck the blossoms by its side,
And bless the gracious Given.
