CrOSS-R

ooking back with vague regret,
Where two roads parted and two roads met
Looking back to the olden time,
When life was sunny and you were mine;
When our future flushed with rosy hue,
When was trusting and you were true.
Looking back with vague regret,
Where two roads parted and two roads met
Whatever of JOY our lives may lack,
We shall never find it by looking back.
Looking ahead-(may it be Gods will)-
In the great Hereafter I'll find you still
In the great Hereafter drawing near
Just as before lost you, dear AIDYL.

Wise Old Saws.
YOU

The ass complains of the cold even in
July. A single light answers as well for
"A hundred men rs for one. Teach the
tongue to say II do not know Thy
friend has friend, and thy friends friend
has friend; be discreet. Deal with those
who are fortunate. The doctor who pre-
scribes gratuitously gives worthless
prescription. If word spoken in its
time is worth one piece of money, silence
in its time is worth two. The wine be-
longs to the master, but the waiter re-
ceives the thanks. The soldiers fight, and
the kings are heroes. Make but one sale and
thou art called merchant. If the fox is
king, bow before him. The rivalry of
scholars advances science. The world is
saved by the breath of school-children.
Even to rebuild the Temple, the schools
must not be closed. Blessed is the son
who has studied with his father and
blessed the father who has instructed his
SON. Rabbi Eeazar said, "Who gives
charity in secret is greater than Moses"
Rab said, "Men should be careful lest
they cause women to weep, for God counts
their tears. In case OF charity, where
both men and women claim relief, the
latter should be first assisted if there
,hould not be enough for both, the men
should cheerfully relinquish their Claims.
Rabbah said, "When one stands at the
Judgment seat of God these questions are
asked Hast thou been honest in all thy
dealing,l Hast thou set aside portion
of thy time for the study of the Law
Hast thou observed the first command
ment! Hast thou in trouble still hoped
and believed in Godl Hast thou spoken
wisely l"-Ihe Tdlmud.

At Sandy Hook.

We were on the extremity of SANDY
Hook, that narrow peninsula which
stretches out into the ocean like hand
of greeting and farewell to the vessels
that pass into and out of New York
Harbor through the deep-water ship
channel which it borders. Our stand
point was the tower of the United States
Signal Service Station; and as the sig.
mailman said, there are times when the
| fair sky, the harmonious breathing of the
wind, and the soft pulsations Of the ocean
such as tranquilized us--are substi-
tuted by troublous clouds, bitter wind,
and sea mountain high. Then, if the
storm approaches in daytime, warning
flag is thrown out to mariners from the
slender pole on the tower; or if it is night
time, the lanterns are lighted, and turn
their red, sorrowful eyes on the murky
outlook. The wind blowing eighty miles
an hour from the northwest on January
night! Sandy Hook in such times
catches the full force of the tempest on
the sea and the cold on land, and there
is not bleaker place south of the Arctic
circle. The sand is swept up and carried
al ing in low pelting cloud; the cedars
bend toward the southeast, and many of
them are permanently inclined in that
direction, the prevailing gales having
paralyzed their other side in infancy
the human voice is useless in the tumult,
and the bed of sand seems to shake under
the tread of the waves. While the signal
man stands before the lanterns with
match in his hand to light them, his
mate envelopes him in the shelter of a
blanket, and effort after effort is made
before success is obtained in igniting the
wieks, the cold benumbing the men, and
the wind extinguishing the flame. Also
at dusk three lighthouses send forth
their earliest rays from the Hook, and
above them, on those magnificent bluffs
bordering the Shrewsbury river, are the
two beacons which have filled many
and many heart with joy-the High
land Lights of the Navesink.
There is no settlement to speak of
at Sandy Hook. A capricious Congress
has appropriated money one year for
some military Notifications, which have
been neglected for several years follow
ing, and which are now seen in condi
ton neither useful nor ornamental-un-
mounted guns, stray blocks of granite,
and other material being strewn about
in that wasteful insufiiciency which char
acterizes many branches of our military
service. The titful progress of these
works has occasioned the building of a
few houses for the laborers, one of which
was pointed out to us as possible re-
source in case of extreme hunger; and
these, with the signal station, the three
lighthouses, and two telegraph stations
for the collection of ship news, are the
media between utter desolation and adj
yanced civilization.-Harper's Magazine.

finished the toast, the potion has done its

bic man who is a common drunkard, and
who will die a drunkard. Reform in his
case is impossible. All the trouble, the
anguish, that his appetite for drink has
brought upon him and his family, has
been no warning whatever. In his old
age, with child, wife, home, lands re-
stored to him, he is still the slave of his
passion, and he resumes his foul habit.

The three sons departed, but met again
at the end of the prescribed time. They
present themselves before their judge, and
the eldest begins as follows:
"Father, during my Absence a stranger
found himself so circumstanced as to be
obliged to intrust all his money into my

Hopes Victory.

Dark clouds had spread across the sky
AS roamed DER the old loved ways,
And through the trees the breezes sighed,
While sunbeams hid their golden rays.
"Oh, all is dark and sad around,
And in my heart no light is found;
Nomore will brightness DER me spread,
For joy is gone and hope is deadm
Fen as spoke the sun shone forth
One heavenly smile from out the sky,
That shed beam within my breast,
And from my heart sad thoughts did fly.
ooh, in the gloom that gathers round,
Let trust within the heart be found;
Then, when the sunb Inns gild the lea,
Sweet Hope will gain victoryr'

Quite Romantic.

The following comes from the Rich
mond Virginia State: Many years ago
q young gentleman of Manchester, of
good character and honorable connec-
tions, had the misfortune to fall out with
his wife-a beautiful girl of only eighteen
summers. He speedily arranged his
business affairs, and without formality
took an abrupt leave of his wife and
a sweet little babe. He travelled far aud
fingered long in many strange lands.
without communicating intelligence of
his whereabouts, and without knowing, or
caring to know, the fate of his dear ones
at home. In the meantime the little one
had passed away, and the wife, broken
hearted and disconsolatc, kept the faith
she had pledged at the altar. Many years
had elapsed since her truant husband had
left her, and in all that time it was
her habit to visit the little grave.
of her dead infant, with the same
deep mourning dress she had donned
the day of its burial. A few evenings
ago it so CHANGED that fate brought her
husband back to this city, who, immedi-
ately upon his arrival, sought out the
little grave, where, by the dim twilight,
he encountered strange figure in black.
A heavy veil hid the face; but his was
open and clear, and seemingly unaltered.
The discovery of either's identity was
but moments time--a groan-a shrek
and husband and wife firmly clasp in
loving embrace.

BUYING UP EXAMINATION PAPERs.-A
story is current at Harvard University
that for as long as three years past sys-
tematic purchase by students of examina-
ton papers from. the printer has been
going on. By opening their purses freely
certain wealthy students in various classes
have thus been enabled to get hold of the
questions beforehand which were to be
asked at the examination, so as, with ju-
dicious examining, to pass perfect paper.
AS many as twenty members of the last
graduating class, at Harvard,it is claimed,
would have failed to pass the examina-
tons for the degree of A. B. but for this
underhand purchase system.
The corruption has but recently come
to the ears of the Faculty, and the prin-
ter who has been making money 10y a
breach of trust has been discharged.
This is the second case of students buy
ing up examination papers of recent oc-
currence-the first being the bribery of a
tutor by Freshmen to show the paper he
was to give at an examination about to
take place.
