IT'S well 60 WOO, it's well TO wed,

And morning brought the sun.

Be sure ye a.edge with truth

Beyond ti'': days of youth !,
For if you give not lreart to heart,
AS well as hand for hand
You'll find you've played the unyise part.
And build upon the saud.''
'Tis well to save, it's well to have In

-Andhold enough of shining stuff,
For charity is cole. .-......
But place not all your hope and trust
. In what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow duct
Udmixed witE purer things; :.
And he who plies up wealth alone :

Beside lis Golfer chest, ard own
Tis'' ''buiit upon the sand"
'Tis good.to speak in kindly guise
Ard soothe where'er we can;
Fair speech should bind the human mind,
-
And love link man to man =
But stop not at the gentle words;
Let deeds with language dwell
The one who pitIcs starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as well:
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend a helping hand,
For those that talk, yet fail to do,
But ''build upon the sand"

A CERTAIN DISEASE.


When the misguided and ImBrudent votary OF

ul-tined sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deteCs him from applying TO those who, from
education and respectability, can alone beirlenG
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms OF
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as xes-atcd sore throat. diseased nose. noctural
pains in the head and limbs, dimness OF SIghl,
deafness modes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches sn the head, face andreEtrehlhles, pro

THE BROKEN ToYs.

1t Is now only few weeks after the
holidays, and yet the most of the toys that
made their appearance on Christmas
morning have hsen multilated beyond re-

Of the house the ears and eyes and feet
and tailsof horses. and wagons broken
down and demolished. Thejumping jack
has lost its agility, the dog its bark, the
tool chest its hammer, the acrobat has
iakenits last swing, and thesdoll refuses to
shut Its eyes when it goes to sleep.-What
was thense Of spending 50 much money
for toys 70 be destroyed so soon? We
answ r they fulfilled their mission, and
it was time for them to cease. Thep went

is done for the adult. You can see in the
looks OF man at forty years of age
whetheror not he had q playful chiId-
