OFTEN WONDER WHY IT'S SO.

By FATHER RYAN.
Some find work where some find rest,
And so the weary world goes on;
sometimes wonder which is best
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And so the dreary night hours go;
Some hearts beat where some hearts break,
often wonder why lis so.
Some wills faint where some wills fight
Some love the tent and some the field
often wonder who is right
The one who strives-or those who yield :?
Some hands fold when other hands
Are lifted braveiy in the strife:
And so thro' ages and thro' lands
Move on the two extremes of life.
Some feet halt where some feet tread
In tireless march thorny way;
Some struggle on where some have led,
Some see-when Others shun the fray.
Some swords rest where others clash
Some fall back where some move on
Some flags furl where others flash
Until the battle has been won
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils Of the true and brave:
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their name above grave

Volume XXXII.---No. 33.

He grew to be man, whose hair
was turning gray, and he was sitting
in his chair by the fireside, heavy with
grief, and with face bedewed with
tears, when the star opened once
again.
Said his sisters angel to the leader:
els my brother Gomez"
And he said, "Nay, but his maiden
daughter"
And the man who had been the
child saw his daughter, newly lost to
him, celestial creature among those
three, and he said, "My daughters
head is on my sisters bosom, and her
arm is round my mothers's neck, and
at her feet there is a baby of old time,
and san haar the parting from her.
God be praised" "
And the star was shining.
Thus the child came to be an old
man, and his once smooth face was
wrinkled, and his steps were slow and
feeble, and his back was bent. And
one night as he lay upon his bed, his
children standing round, he cried, as
he had cried so long ago:
81 see the star!''
Then whispered one another, che is
dying"
And he said, 81 am. My age is fall
ing from me like garment, and |
move towards the star as child. And
o my Father, now thank thee that
it has so often opened to receive those
dear ones who await me-"
And the star was shining; and it
shines upon his grave.

"Where do people go who deceive
their fellow men?" asked Sunday
school teacher of a pupil. s'To

ssThat old goat over there once gave
me rebutting evidence of his belliger-
ency," said a humorous lawyer to q
companion. "How so?" was the in
quiry. "He butted me down twice."
"There is a story of an amateur
hunter in the Rocky Mountains who
followed grizzly bear four days, and
then abandoned the pursuit, alleging
as reason that the trail was getting
too fresh.
Never. The following speech was
made by the winner of prize in a
foot race: Gentlemen, / have won
this cup by the use of my legs; I trust
l may never lose the use of my legs
by the use of this cup"
1t seems that a lawyer is something
of a carpenter; he can file a bill, split
hair, make an entry, get up case,
frame an indictment, impanel jury,
put them in a box, nail witness, ham,
mer a judge, bore court, and other
like things.
"Why has the eagle built her nest
yonder?
'Doubtless" said the king, that it
may be out of danger.
ssThen initiate the bird, said the

happiness"
A little fellow who was at neigh
boris house about noon the other day
watched the preparations for dinner
with great deal Of interest, but when
asked to stay and eat something he
promptly refused. "Why, yes, Johney,
you'd better stay" said the lady; sswhy
can't you?" s.Well, cause" said the
little fellow, ssma said mustn't unless
you asked me three times" They in
vited him twice more right off.
He didn't look like a beggar, but he
had his plans all laid before he struck
Vicksburg, and he cleared hundred
dollars here in two days. He didn't
go around whining: ssPlease sir, for
the love Of God," as most of them do,
but he walked up toa man, called him
General" to start off with, and then
the shinplasters came in faster than
he could take them. The only five
men in town who didn't contribute
were men whom he Inadvertently ad-
dressed as Captain"

depart from the house of his good

But it was long ere he could gain
strength enough to reach Galveston,
Texas, and there he met an old uncle,
who had carried him to his comforta-
BILE home with him.
The kind old bachelor was one day
thrown from his horse, and night and
day Garnet had watched by his bed

that his uncle had left him all his
