The spelling mania has broken out
in Humboldt, and III orthom1niacs

THREE ANGELS.

They say this life is barren, drear and cold
Ever the same sad song was sung of old,
Ever the same long weary tale is todd
And to our lips is held the CUP Of strife
And yet.--a little love can sweetcn life.
They say our hands may grasp but joys do
stroyed,
Youth has but dreams. and age an aching void
Which DEAD Sea fruit long, long ago has coyed
Whose night with Wild tcmpestuous storms
is rfc
And yet-a little hope can brighten life.
They say we fling ourselves in wild despair
Amidst the broke EN- treasures scattered there,
Where all is wrecked, where all once promis-
cd fair,
And stab ourselves with sorrows two-edgetl
knife;
Aud yet II little patience strengthens life.
Is it then true. this tale of bitter grief
Ofmor.al anguish finding no reliefl
Lo midst the Winter shines the laircl's leaf !;
Three angels share the lot of human strife,
Three angels glority the path oflfc-
Love, Hope and Patience cheer us on our way |;
Love, Hope and Patience from onr spirits
stay;
Love, Hope and Patience watch us day by day.
Aud bid the desert bloom with beauty vcrnal
Until the earthly fades in the eternal.

a GOOD story is told of a recent
excellent performance of Ianlel's
"MessiaI," at the Broadway Baptist
Church, Louisville, Ky. A farmer
took his wife to hear the grand mu.-
sic, splendidly rendered on the occa
sion, and, after liStning with appa-
rent enjoyment, the pair became
suddenly interested in one grand
chorus, "We all, like sheep, have
gone astray." First a sharp soprano
voice exclaimed, 1--WE all, like
sheep-" Next a deep bass voice
uttered, in the most earnest tones,
"We all like sheep-' Then all
the singers at once asserted. eve
all like sheep ''Darned if |
do J" exclaimed old Rusticus to his
partner. 81 like beef and bacon, but
] can't bear sheep meat" There
was an audible litter in that i'm
vicinity, but the splendid
music attracted attention from the
pair, and they quietly slipped out.
