VIRTUE is state of war, and to live in
it we have always to combat with our
selves.
Do not give to thy friends the most
agreeable counsels, but the most advan-
tageOus.

says she has travelled sixteen thousand

LOVE AND TIME.
Too late I stad forgive the crime;
Unheeded few the hours;
So lightly falls the foot OF time
That only treads on flowers.
All who with steady eye can mark
That ebbing of the glass,
With all Its sands are diamond sparks
That dazzle as they pass
Or who to sober measurement
Times happy feetness brings,
When birds OF paradise have lent
Their plumage to his wings?

rings. 1t is about as safe to go TO the
Black Hills to hunt for gold as it is to
examine mules hOof for rings.

TITAN and Raphael, and all the
brotherhood of painters, may kneel rev.
erently as priests before Natures face
and paint pictures at sight of which all
mems eyes shall fill with grateful tears;
and yet all men shall go away and find
that the green shade of tree, the light
on young girls face, the sleep of child,
the Towering of flower, are to their
pictures as living life to beautiful death.
