Trust AND BIZ TRUE.

Look in your brothers eyes, man.
And bid him read your own;
One half the strife of human life
Is born from guile alone.
Deceit creates full half our hates,
And half our love it Stays;
Look in each others eyes, men.
And meet each others gaze.
Pardon your brothers faults, man!
And ask that HE forgive;
If human sin no mercy win;
No human soul shall live.
No need of heaven, were none forgiven;
For none could reach its doors
'Pardon your brothers faults, man-
That he may pardon yours
Feel for your brothers gricfS, man.
No heart is safe from woe;
Though lip and eye may off deny
The sorrowing weight below.
One gentle vile, one pleasant smile,
My sweetest balm impar';
Feel for your brothers gricfs, man
and you will win his heart
Stand by your brothers side, man!
When worthy claim he shows;
To him be just, and yield your trust,
When he his faith bcstowS
How plainly wise, with soul and eyes,
True friendship to impart
Smile in your brothers face, man
And YOU will warm his heart

his ghost returned every night to the

the chamber. At last, however, u
student Of a less superstitious nature
arrived, and consented to sleep in the
haunted room. But two Of the old
dodgers, annoyed with his incredible

against his will. They covered them
selves up in the sheets, and as the
clock struck midnight sliJcl into the
chamber, muttering the most awful
groans. But they had rcckoncd with
out their host, who, having suspic'
ions, also put on sheet, and hid him
self in a cupboard, and as the two dis.
guisoi dodgers stalked around the bed
lie quietly came out Of his retreat and
followed them. They no sooner caught
sight of linn than they rushed of
trembling, and the next morning paid
their bill and left the house firm CON"
