What I'd Have q Friend do and
.nY8Wno.


~ pY}WIIo.
( If you would bc d friend of mine,
This, | would have you to do:
Improve each nionient Of your tinie,
Aud pay your debts whon due;
Aud use your credit as yonr cash,
OF eaoh liberal share;
Look not on thom as sordid trash,
But husbaud both with care.
With cash aud credit well combined,
You oan accomplish much,
If 30 to do your Wills inoined,
Both for the State and Churob.
Then bo no miser in your heart,
DO generous FREQ aud bold;
And always do, or give your part,
In labor, timo, or gold.
But never go beyond your strength,
Nor out one foolish swell;
Or you will find, alas! at length,
1t did not pan out we'll.
But be composed, serene and calm,
And over on your guard;
A perfect, high-tonod gentleman,
While lifc to you is spared.
Drink not, nor swear, nor play at dico,
Or any gamo of chance;
But turn at onoo from every vice,
And in all good advance.
Guarding your namo aud honor well,
Fen though it lead to death;
Yet horo in peace, Id have you dwell
Till Iifo's last lingering breath.
In dress bo neat as new madc coin,
Nor Ger be stiff nor cold;
But quick when good is to be donc,
Or truth or falschood told.
Aud too sincere to cast smile,
When there's no love within,
But keep, oh, keep your heart from guile,
And every form Of sin.
BE frank and candid in your speech,
And all you say and do
Nor ever strive to overrcaoh,
Or hold from one his due.
But always paticnt, kiud aud bravo,
A truly pious mau,
Eycrmore striving hard to save
From ruin all you can.
Regard in mercy all tho poor,
AUG Hcip them Wncn you can,
Nor turn tho needy from your door,
Or aid a worthless sham;
But let your bounty flow as FREQ
AS God to you hath given,
If happy hero you wish to be,
Or saved at last IN Heaven.
BE true to friends aud native land,
And all you know aud love;
Aud by our fathers alta,s stand,
Nor ever from them rove.
But bigotry I'd have you scorn,
Nor wish all crccds like thine.
If hearts be right, why care for form,
Tho organ, gown or shrine?
Remember Him who once did speak,
These words that nec cr will die:
When two or three in my namc meet,
There III their midst am l.
know there's none that's free from fault,
10 look for such were vain;
Yet you should neither dance or waltz
1t church books hold your name.
King Solomon became fool,
And women mado him so;
lie found that two man could rule,
Aud more would lead to WOO.
liavc care then, who you WOO or we'd,
And marry but for lovo,
Or you will oft be filled with 'droad,
Aud wish from homo to rove.
1.-Two not for self, but to do good,
10 all Of human kind;
And when you've done the best you could
Thon fret not or rcpinc.
Thus if you live, you'll surely knit
Strongly my heart to thine;
And will Ger rejoice to greet
You as friend Of mine.

til the Courier, who had been sent out to
warn them, rode into camp.
AT that time they were between the
Little Platte and Laramie Rivers, about
twenty-five miles northeast Of North Park.
Sunday of last week they were only fifteen
miles northeast of Milk River, and the next
day left for Little Platte, fifty miles from
the scene of Thornburgh's engagement.

Every one who buys the score of Verdi's
Requiem reads on the back, Requiem COM
posed for Manzoni." but one must have
read III Cinque Maggie" and II Promessi
Sposi," to realize what the name of Man
zoni means, to the heart of one of his
countrymen.
Grandson of Beccaria he inherited his
talent and was unfortunately in early life
tinctured with the Voitairism of his
grandfather. Later the necessities Of an
ardent and religious love, together with
the influence of good wife, brought him
back to more consoling philosophy and
his most beautiful poetic effusions were
the result of this happy change.
On the death of Napoleon he wrote his
18th of May, 1921" in which religion
claimed the great Emperor as her own.
Never" said Manzoni lin this certainly
the most beautiful ode of our century,
Never did more sublime intelligence
humble itself before the opprobrium Of
Golgotha." But the reputation of many
one rests, after all, more upon his story of
the betrothed Il Promessi Sposi) This
touching idyl has been translated into every
language.
A simple village love story serves as pre-
text to give very complete picture of
Italian Society in the XVII century. His
description of the plague in Milan, his pic
ture of FEDERICO Borromeo, who can ever
forget them? Manzoni lived to near00, and
his death was felt in every town and hamlet
in Italy as personal loss
''Veldis Requiem" seems to be inspired
by friendship, and to partake Of the pure
and beautiful genius of Manzoni. And we
are to hear this mass sung by fine artists in
a Catholic Church? Yes, we are to have
this musical treat, and everything prom
ises that not only the intrinsic merits of
the grand music but each surrounding
will contribute to make it one of the most
perfect oratorios ever heard in our music
