Never give up it is wiser md better
Always to hope than once to despair;
Throw OF the load Of doubts caukcring fctier,
And break the da.k spcll Of tyrnnnical care.
Never give up or the burlhon may sink you,
Providence kindly has mingled the cup,
And in al the trials or troubles belhnk YOU
The watchword of life should bc.-Never
give up.
Never give mp there are chances and changes
Helping the hopeful hundred to one,
And mid the chaos, high wisdom arranges
Ever succcss-if you'll only hope on.
Never give up for the wiscst is bollest,
knowing that Providence mingles the cup,
And Of all maxims the best MS the oldest
Is the true wntchword of--Ncver give up.
Never give mp tho the grape shot may rattle.
And the full thunder cloud over you burst,
Stard like rocl, and the storm of the battle
Little can harm You, tho doing their worst.
Nercr give upl ifndyersity presses,
Providence has wisely mingled the cup,
And the best counsel in all your dstresses
Is the stout watchwcrd of-Ncver give MP

OF ALL THE YEAR,

When the woods were in crimson drest.
'Of ell the times Of the year," she asked,
(which is the gladdest,
Which is the saddest.
And which do you love the best ?"
looked in her face with a ycarnng pain
While Ianswsled as half in jest,
''Of all the seasons, in shine Or .ain,
This is the sadde>t.
This is til. gladdest
And this do love til. b.st.'
"stupid !" she cried, in her laughing voice,
'Of spring, summer, winter or fall,
There surely is more than single choice;
To m", one is the saddest,
Another is gladdcst,
And one is dearest of
Still II declared that, ask when she would,
Though twere winter or spring or the rest.
With her by my side, but one answer seemed gooG
That would be gladdest,
That would be saddest,
The season the sweetest and best.
""hy, what could have to be saddest about !"
SIZE asked, with smile at it all.
So told her at once Of my pain and doubt,
And 10! both Our secrets came creepingo out
In the glory and shade of the fail.
And nevermore saddest,
But holiest, gladdest,
We found the best season of all!

Family Recipes.

l. For repairing family Jars.-
Mutual love well stirred with for
bearance, mixed with readiness to
forgive, and general good temper,
is an admirable cement 1t is well
to let all family jars be shelycd at
once.
2. Prcserying-The temper is best
kept by using as little vinegar as
possible. The heart, by using
abundantly of the oil of grace.
Treasures, by laying them up where
neither moth nor rust doth corrupt.
3. Creams-Tho milk of true
faith, if it stands long enough, yields
the cream of assurance; if favored
with the essence of love, it is a dc.
licious dish.
t. Stcws These are best avoided
by leaving our troubles with him who
sent them.
5. Picklcs.-Those persons get in
to them most who mcddle with 9th
er peoples business, or who act on
the rule of policy rather than that OF
truth and unswcrving honesty.
6. Dressed peacock. This is too
common md poor IL production to
bo introduced into Christian fami.
lies
7. To cure cold and heartburn.-
Do all the good you eau, live near to
God, love your neighbor as yourself
s. Fritters.-NovelreAdng, silly
conversation, gossipiuG ceremonial
visits and late rising, soon frltter
away time. Christians have not
moment to waste.
.. Tart.-Some think tart replies
to be smart, but il is never SO wise
to let our wit wound other peoples
feelings. Soft answers turn away
wrath, tart speeches lead to general
sOurness.
10. Sauc,.-Neyor to be tolerated

in any one. Generally found to 60

hat is Dirt?

Old DR.. Cooper, of South Carolina,
used to say to his students: Don't
be afraid of dirt, young gentlemen.
What is dirt? Why, nothing at all
offensive, whom chemically viewed.
Rub u little alkali upon the dirty
grease spot on your coat, and it un-
dergoes n chemical change and be-
comes soap; now rub it with n little
water and it disappears. 1t is neither
grease, soap, water nor dirt. That
is not very odorous pile of dirt
you see yonder; well scatter little
gypsum over it and it is no longer
dirty. Everything like dirt is worthy
Of our notice asstudents otchemlstry.
Analyze it; it will separate into
very clean clements. Dirt makes
corn, corn makes bread and meat,
and that makes very sweet Young
lady, that | saw one of you kissing
Inst night. SO after all, you were klss
ing dirt, particularly it she whltens
her fnce with chalk or fuller's earth
though may say the rubbing such
stuff upon the beautiful skin OF n
Young lady is dirty practice. Pearl
power think is made of bismuth,
nothing but dirt. Lord Palmerston's
fine definition of dirt is matter in
the wrong place. Put it in the
right place aud we cease to think OF
it as dirt.
