Family, as tolls the evening chime,
Our voices keep tune, and our oars keep time
Soon as the woods on shore look dim,
| Well sing at st. AIMS our parting hymn.
| Row, brothers, row, the stream runs fact,
| The rapids are near and the daylight's past.
Why should we vet our sails unfurl?
| There is not breath the blue wave to CURL
| But, when the wind blows OF the shore,
| on sweetly we'll rest on our weary oar.
| Blow, breeZes blow, the stream runs fast,
| The rapids are near and the daylights past
| Utawa's tide! this trembling moon,
Shall see us float over thy surges soon;
| Saint OF this green isle hear our prayers,
Oh grant us cool heavens and favoring airs.
| Blow, breezes, blow, the stream runs fast,
The rapids are near and the daylight's past.

man, f" that is the very thing that vexes
me. II could die half dozen times, 1
should not mind it."

between toadstools and mushrooms but
it is not worth while trying to learn this
difference uuless you belong to a very
long lived family, and don't object to
being poisoned at the end. 1t takes
years to find ont, and authorities differ.
The only sure test is to eat one. If you
live, it is mushroom. II you die, it is
q toadstool.-,&. Nicholas.
GOATS, according to the bible, are
more wicked than sheep; but they are
smarter. The sheep-raisers of New
Mexico employ goats as leaders to their
herds of sheep, because they under
stand q persons voice 30 we'll, and will
come whenever they are called. The
goats have to be trained, and the sheep
will always follow them. This shows
that the sheep know that hair covers
more wisdom than wool, though the
darkies do not like to be told SO.

old woman who had been standing for
ten blocks. Whereupon the young men
did not know whether to get up again
or not, and, tried their best not to look
foolish.
