Building on the Sand.

For so the world has done
Since myrtles grew. and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have care. We young and fair,
Be sure you pledge with truth:
BE certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days Of youth,
For if We give not heart for heart,
As well as hand for hand.
You'll find you've played the unwise part,
And built upon the sand,
lis well to save, it's well to have
\ goodly store of 0ld.
And hold enough of shining stuff.
For charity is cold.
But place not all your hope and trust
In what the deep mine brings,
We cannot live on yellow dust
Unmixed with purer things,
And he who piles up we alth alone

Beside his Golfer chest and own

IT'S good to speak in kindly guise,
And soothe where'er we can:
Fair speech can bind the human mind
And love link man TO man.
But stop not at the gentle words.
Let deeds with language dwell:
That one who pities starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as well.
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend helping hand.
For those who talk. vet fail TO do,
But build upon the sand"

RoUP REMEDY.-When turkeys or other
poultry are affected by swelling OF the head
and discharge Of matter from the eyes
and nostrils, they are suffering from what
is known as the roup. 1t is simply ca
tarrh, and is the consequence of the same
causes which produce colds and iniamma-
ton Of the throat and lungs in other ami
mails. If they are kept dry and warm, and
their nOosts are we'll ventilated there will
be no catarrh. The remedy is to wash
their heads with warm soap and water, and
afterward battle the eyes and nostrils with
solution Of four grains of sulphate Of zinc
with vitriOD in one ounce of water. The
food should be meal scalded and fed warm
with little ground ginger mixed in it.
