TRUTHS AND TRIPLES.

HE that knoweth how to live inwardly
and to make small reckoning of things
without, neither requireth places nor
awaiteth times for the performance Of
religious exercises.
SONNET.
| ENAMoRED architect OF airy rhyme,
| Build as thou wilt heed not what each man says.
Good souls, but innocent OF dreamers ways,
Will come, and marvel why thou wastest times
Others, beholdng how thy turrets climb
'Twixt theirs and heaven, will hate thee all their
But most t beware of those who come to praise:
o Wondersmith, o worker in sublime
| And heaven-sent dreams, let art be all In ALL
Build as thou wilt, unspeiled by praise or blame,
| Then, If at last the airy structure fall,
Dissolve, and vanish,-take thyself no shame.
They fail, and they alone, who have not striven.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich, in September Atlantic.
WILT thou not 60 home, my child?
Away, for the danger is pressing 60
home to God and get out of trouble.
Array thyself in such garments as will
please the Lord Get ready, D pilgrim,
for thy eternal home.-Hedinger.
If you can really make man believe
you love him, you have won him and
if could only make people really believe
that God loves them, what rush we
would see for the kingdom of God! Oh,
how they would rush in ID. l.. Moody.
THOMAS BAssETT, one of the escaped
Fenian prisoners, says that he once before
tried to escape, and, though his original
imprisonment was for life, the Austral-
ian Judge sentenced him to three years
additional.
A NATURALIST asks, Do bees hear ?"
We don't think they do. At any rate,
when a man is chased by bee across
ten-acre field, and at the top of his voice
urges his pursuer to "Shoo, there !" the
insect pays no attention whatever to his
remarks.
NORWICH Bulletin: The Congregation
alist asks: Why can we not not improve
morally !" One reason is that fellow
across the street is learning to play
on the cornet, and another that we owe
our landlady nineteen dollars for board.
1t is not desirable, however, to be good,
as long as collection is taken every
Sunday.
A MILWAUKEAN moves that the hick-
ory tree be made an emblem of the
United States, as the oak is of England
and the laurel of Greece. The hickory
however is not likely to be installed in
the popular favor as an emblem, as most
men who have been properly brought
up do not regard it with senti-
ments of affection. AS an "emblem
they have seen it wave too much in early
youth.
The New York Commercial says street
preacher got up on Chestnut street, Phil
adelphia, the other evening, and spoke
beautifully for few minutes on religious
subjects. As his remarks progressed,
however, it began to be noticed that he
made no allusiOn to the Centennial, and
ten minutes later the unfortunate man
was seen shooting up side street spat-
tered with mud, minus coat-tail, and
with handsome mansard of the renais-
sance style erected on his head.
BURLINGTON Hawk-Eye: A Gloucester
letter-writer says Goldfish are caught
with line thirty fathoms long, provided
with four hooks which are baited with
"porgie." That kind of stuff may do
to tell away down in Gloucester, where
people aren't posted, but out West here
we have seen too many Goldfish swaying
from the grocery awning in the summer
breeze not to know better than all that
gibbering bosh about lines and hooks.
You don't catch Goldfish; you buy
them just like mackerel.
