DIsCONTENT.

Two boats rocked on the river,
In the shadow of leaf and tree;
One was in love with the harbor;
One was in love with the sea.
The one that loved the harbor
The winds of fate outbore;
But he held the other, longing,
Forever against the shore.
The one that rests on the river,
In the shadow of leaf and tree,
With Wistful eyes looks ever
To the one far out at sea.
The one that rides the billow,
Though sailing far and feet,
Looks back to the peaceful river,
To the harbor safe and sweet.
One frets against the quiet
Of the moss-grown shaded shore;
One sighs that it may enter
That 7 kseattt hlsee=skeE lsee=s never mere
One Wearies of the dangers
Of the tempests rage and vail;
One dreams, amid the lilies,
Of far-of snowy sail.
OF all that life can teach us
There's naught so true as this
The winds Of fate blow ever,
But ever blow amiss.

the. y4r' to be the most pleasant so
far enjoyed.
A new feature which has been in
troduced, and one which imparts an
additional interest as also being a
practical source of improvement, is
the discussing, in conversational
form, of any given subject, which
subject is designated at the previous
meeting, giving the members an OPP
portunity to inform themselves TO
the end that they may the more intelli-
gently discuss It, This feature alone
is one for which the Cornerstone
can not be too highly praised, as it
not only cultivates that most happy
and especial gift to man. the power
Of speech, but trains the mind to
think, and induces research into
special subjects, by which means
alone can subject be thoroughly mas
tered.
The programme for the evening
was an exceedingly interesting one,
some of its principal features being
the rendering by Misses Mary Wood
