GOOD AS GOLD.

Though fond of iollity sometimes
like quiet life,
And love cosy evening pass'd,
At home with my old wife;
She brought ME neither house nor land
Her wealth could soon be told,
But she's fortune in herself,
And that's as good as gold.
She does not wear the finest robes,
Nor dress in silk attire,
But then if she looks fair TO me,
What more could desire?
Our home is not tie grandest, but,
AS it keeps out the cold.
It pleases me, and pleases her,
And she's as good as gold.
when matters go little wrong,
And fortune seems to frown,
If zones wife as true as gold,
One can't be long cast downs
For when | reach my home at night,
She does not fret or scold,
But always greets me with a smile,
And that's as good as gold.
Contented folks are happiec.
Than those whO've greatest wealth,
For gold does not buy happiness,
Nor can it purchase health;
NV wife and | will be co ltent.
When we have grown old,
TO be as happy then as now.
And that's rs good as gold.

How TO Learn.

Dean Stanley: Two things to-
gcther are the very model of Il good
scholar. First, you must listen !;
you must hear you Must be silent !;
you must be attentive. We eau
never hore to gain real wisdom or
knowledge unless we are willing to
be taught, unless we fix our minds
He who is always talking without
listening to what others say; he
who is always asking questions
without waiting for an answer he
who allows his mind to wander
frohi one thing to another +; he who
thinks lie is wiser than his teachers
and cleverer than Ills companions
he who does not look MP to what is
above himself, whether old, OF
yonhs, is not learning as Jesus
Christ learned, We must also bt
good askers of questions.
