Ours the fate of the vanquished,
Whose heartaches never cease;
Ours the tears,
Regrets and fears
Theirs the eternal peace.
Anger they dropped forever
With the passing burden of breath;
The Blue and the Gray
Are alike to-day
In the colorless land of Death.
And the living who wore the Blue
May bring to the sleepers flowers,
For the Blue and the Gray are friends
to-day
In a happier land than ours.

Transient Troubles.

Most Of Us have had troubles all
our lives, and each day has brought
all the evil that we wished to endure.
But if we were asked to recount the
sorrows Of our lives, how many
could We rememberi How many
that are six months old should We
think worthy to be remembered or
mentionedf To-day's troubles look
large. but week hence they will be
forgotten aud buried out Of sight.
"If you would keep q book, and
every day put down the things that
worry you, and nee what becomes Of
them, 1t would be benefit to you.
You allow thing to annoy you, just
rs you allow a fly to settle on you
and plagne you; and you lose temper
{or rather get it; for when men are
surcharged with temper they are
said to have Lost it); and you justify
yourselves for being thrown Of your
balance by causes which you do not
trace out. But il you would see
what it WAS that threw Oh your
balance before breakfast, and put it
down in a little book, and follow it
out, and ascertain what becomes Of
it, you would are what fool you
were in the matter"
The art of forgetting IL q blessed
art, but the art of overlooking 10
quite as important. And II We
shonld take time to write down the
origin, progress, and outcome Of .
few of our troubles, 1t would make
Us 40 ashamed Of the fuse We make
over them, that We should be gtad
to drop soch things and bury them
at once in eternal forgetfnlness. n
Life Is too short to be worn out 70
petty worries, frettioga, hatrets, and
VIBRATIONS. Let us Danish all these,
and think on whatsoever things are
pure, and lovely, and gentle, and d
good report. '' .
