Take it as You Find it,

I have creed, pleasant creed,
The wise may fling their soern Mt,
It lets me smile ut many things
That other folks have sworn at.
IT'S simply this: To love my kind,
With all their faults and chances,
And not to see with others eyes.
Or feel with others fancies.
I hold this life too short for love,
Too long for idle signing;
The man who cannot cry's knave;
A fool. who's always crying.
Through darkest clouds I try to see
A CLINT of silver lining,
And think, though tempest may be mere.
Somewhere the sun is shining.
The more that cynics snarl and fout,
The less seem to mind it;
I make the best of what's about,
And take it as I find it.
There's Woman, now. We run her down,
On various pretences-
Dear womani who divides our Joys
And trebles our expenses;
Who caused the fall of Man-and Troy.
Well, with our common mother
Poor Adam had but Hobsen's choice;
Twas Eve-or me- er another.
Unto my lot kinder fate
No such restriction grapples;
For could find score of wives
Who do not care for apples.
And as for losing Paradise
Qve nought to pay tor Helen),
Eve gave enough to every maid
For one true man to dwell in.
Then tend the flowers, till the land,
Be kind, and she IL be kinder;
Seek out the gold, nor scorn the sand,
And take her as you find her.
There's Friendship, then, and Gratitude,
That ought to be his brother;
Their sire. true Humanity,
And Charity their mother.
The cynic snarls, 1.-THE frst's q reed
That bends when it is lent on,
The others nothing but bride,
To gain what We are bent on"
Well, every month is not July,
Nor every king Nero,
Nor every sanity man a saint,
Nor every chief hero.
The shadows give the pictures lights,
Inc ll&QLS throw QArkQeee LHen2 on !;
You cannot have 8 glass of punch
Without squeeze of lemon.
And if some hearts are false, old friends,
see that Heaven assigned you,
For others sham to make amends,
And take you as find you.
".
Why should hate fine young man
Because Tvs not his inches
Why should / limp along the street
Because your brodequia pinches2
The charm that's still charm for me,
For some has lost its power.
Must my hearts goblet yield no sweet
Because they've turned theirs sour
NY sympathy I'll not deny,
For that's no cynic's mutter.
They surely want to take my faith
And fling it in the gutter.
And just because their iaundiced eyes
Can't see the rose is rosy.
They bid me seek the hemloek tree
TO find o summer posy.
No. no. my love, my friend, my roseI
I'll in lifs's garland wind thee,
And take thee to my heart Of hearts
And love thee as l find thee.

The Insanity of Cain.

The following are the closing paragraphs OF
a remarkable article in Scribner's for May, on
1.-The Insanity of CAIN
In Judging of Cain, look at the situation. On
the one hand. terrible family mystery. no
schools, no churches, no lectures, no society,
no amusements, no appler! On the other
hand. the whole burden of humanity borne for
the first time paternal discipline undue phre-
biological Developments monOtonous employ
ment antideluvian monsters; antideuvian par
ents, and an antideluvian good brother in whose
mouth butter would have remained intact for
ages.
Undoubtedly that brother had an exaspera-
ting smile. He was happy because he was Writ
uous. He had way of forgiving aud forget
ting that for time would deprive the offended
of reason itself; above all, he had cool, col
lected manner OF his own, added to chronic
desire to be an angel. HIS offerings always
fulfilled the conditions. His fires needed only
to be lighted, and the smoke was sure to as
cend with satisfied, confident curl far into the
sky.
Gains. on the contrary, refused to burn
We can see it ALL The smoke struggled and
Topped. 1t crept along the ground, and cling
ing to his feet, wound about him like serpent.
1t grew black and angry, shot side ways into
his eyes, binding and strangling him
And there stood Abel beside has pile, radiant,
satisfied, wanting to be an angel
1t was but the work OF moment. The pent-
up disorganixing influence of a life, time found
vent in one wild moment of emotional insanity.

How Boston Reporter Lost His Situation


1t is said that 10 a moment of temporary.in.
sanity Boston city editor assigned horse rae
ing, base-ball and aquatic reporter to report In
half column the Sunday services at the church
of sensational preacher This is the report
he published, and for which he was discharged !:
1.-The House met at 1890 A. M. Prayer by
the chaplain. The first race was between the
chaplain and the singers, ii being pretty even
match the two first heats; but the singers got
the best of the last three heats, and came in on
the amen two full lengths ahead, winning the
last three heats and the race. Time, 5:O2'-
Petitions were then presented for forgiveness
and other matters, and notice was given OF
special assignments during the coming week for
various objects. The singers then sailed up
to the judges stand and after getting into posi-
ton sailed away on the course with all canvass
set and spanking breeze from the organ, which
drove them along In fine style. The top-rigged
yacht flying the blue pennant was we'll ahead
| at the stake, and came home ahead of all the
| feet. The speaker then took the floor and
announced his intention to ask that the resolu-
tions of censure that had been heaped upon
Ananias should be recinded, and proceeded to
| read the records of the case, from which it ap-
peared that Ananias had sold his house and
| had not given all the price to the church. The
speaker then went ON to say that no reason ap-
peared on the record for Ananias to give any,
and much less ali his property to the church,
and that he questioned if any of those before
him would do any more than Auanias had in
the same place. He then went onto show that
Ananias had obeyed his wife 10 the matter, and
expressed the belief that few OF those before
him could say as much for themselves After
further arguments of similar character he
moved that the character of Anauias be and
