DON'T TAKE 1T TO HEART.

There's many q trouble,
Would break like a bubble,
And INTO the waters of Lethe depart.
Did not we rehearse it, qv
and tenderly nurse it,
And give it permanent place in the heart
There's many sorrow e
Would vanish tomorrow, Wv
If we were willing to furnish the wings;
So sadly intruding,
And quietly brooding
1t matches out all sorts of horrible things
How welcome the seeming
OF looks that are beaming
Whether ones wealthy or whether ones
poor,
Eyes bright as berry, Y
Cheeks red as cherry,
The groan and the curse and the heart
ache can cure.
Resolve to be m cry, fMF
And worry to ferry
Across the same waters that bid us for
get;
And no longer fearful,
But happy and cheerful,
We teel life has much that's worth
living for yet.

A Thrifty Young Man.

A few days ago we found a good
economist in the person Of ayoung
mechanic. He lives in a house OF
his own, for which he owes few
hundred dollars. His earnings
last year were $3.50; from that sum
he paid $40 interest on his indebt-
ness, S100 of the principal, expend-
ed 500 in repairs, and supported a
family of four persons. He Is ev-
cry day at his work, has no fears
of what Mrs. Grundy may say,
but supports his family cornforta-
bly, and well. Here is an example
worthy of consideration by other
young men. 1t is good example
for all, and all, young or old, will
do we'll to pattern from il, let their
circumstances be what they may.
We do not claim that all can live
at the same expense this young
man does, but we claim that all
should observe his habits of indus
try and economy.-Poultney, Yer
mont. Journal.
