JANUARY.

JANUARY.
By her who in this month is born
No gems save Garnets should be worn;
They will insure her constaney,
True friendship and fidelity.
FEBRUARY
The February-born will find
Sincerity and peace of mind
Freedom from passion and from care,
If they the Amethyst will wear.
MARCH.
Who on this world Of ours their eyes
In March first open shall be wise
In days of peril firm and brave,
And wear a BloOdstone to their grave.
APRIL.
She who from April dates her years
Diamonds should wear lest bitter tears
For vain repentance flow; this stone
Emblem Of innocence is known.
MAY.
Who first beholds the light of day
In Springs sweet, fowery month Of May,
And wears an Emerald all her life,
Shall be a loved and happy wife.
JUNE.
Who comes with Summer to this earth,
And owes 10 June her day of birth,
With ring of Agate on her hand,
Can health, wealth and long life command.
JULY.
The glowing Ruby should adorn
Those who in warm July are born;
Then will they be exempt and free
From Iovefs doubts and anxiety

No conjugal felicity;
The August-born, without this stone,
IT'S said must live unloved and lone
SEPTEMBER
maiden born when Autumn leaves
Are rustling in September's breeze,
A Sapphire on her brow should bind
Twill cure diseases of the mind.
OCTOBER.
October's child is born for woe,
And life's Yicissitudes must know
But lay an Opal on her breast,
And hope will lull those woes to rest.
NOVEMBER.
Who first comes to this world below
With drear NoEember's fog and snow,
Should prize The Topaz's amber hue
Emblem of friends ami lovers true.
DECEMBER.
If cold December gave you birth
The month Of snow and ice and mirth-
Place on Jour hand Turquoise blue;
Success will bless whate'er You do.

SANDER.

Pay no attention to slanderers or
gossip-mOngers. Keep straight on in
your course and let their backbitings
die the death Of neglect. What is the
use Of lying awake Of nights, brooding
over the remarks of some false friend,
that run through your brain like f rked
lightning? What's the use Of getting
into a worry and fret ever gossip that
has been set aAoat to your disadvan-
tage, BY some meddlesome busybody,
who has more time than character p
These things can't possibly injure you,
unless, indeed, you take notice of them,
and in combating them give them char
acter and standing. If what is said
about you is true, set yourself right at
once; if it is false, let it 20 for what it
will fetch. If a bee stings you, would
you 60 to the hive and destroy it p
Would not thousand come upon you g?
Il is wisdom to say little respecting the
injuries you have received. We are
generally losers in the end if we stop to
refute all the backbitings and gossip
pings We may hear by the way.

When the renowned Mrs. Siddons
was playing in Dublin, she, as Lady
Macbeth, came to that part where a
drum sounds, and she exclaims, "a
drum drum Macbeth doth come. :"
There was some difficulty or neglect in
obtaining the necessary instrument, and
so to her amazement a trumpet sound
ed. She Immediately saw how absurd
it would be to say "drum' while the
well-known sound of the other met the
ears of the vast audience, SO she said.
"a trumpet a trumpet" and stopped
short amid breathless silence. not know
ing how to rhyme it, when a voice from
the gallery called out, Macbeth doth
stump it, at which the house broke
out into one peal Of laughter and ap-
plause, and the tragedienne advanced
to the footlights and bowed her ac-
knowledgments for the relief. She
tried to find out who it was,
but failed to do SO, and never forgot
what she considered the most genuine
piece Of wit she had ever met with in
ell her experience.
