men of the annexed province lately left
their homes to escape conscription, and
have been sentenced in default to heavy
fine and imprisonment "a sentence
which will be mercilessly enforced if the
fugitiyes ever return. If France ever

The recent death of the Hon. Caleb
Gushing has revived an anecdote in re-
gard to him that had great run in the
at the time. Miss Hannah
F. Gould, who was one of the most con-
spicuous writer's of verse in this country
thirty years ago, perpetrated the fol-
lowing epigramatic epitaph upon Cush-
ing:
Lay aside, all ye dead
For in the next bed
Reposes the body of Gushing.
He has crowded his way
Through the world, they say
And, even though dead, will be pushing.
This was considered rather neat ioh
by the wits, but Mr.. Gushing turned the
tables on the gifted lady by the follow
ing witty response:
Here lies one whose wit,
Without wounding, could hit.
And green grows the grass that's aboveher.
Having sent every beau
To the regions below
She has gone down herself for lover.

pair had changed hair, the brunette
sporting twocolored top-knot, and the
blonde wig of jetty black. Two break

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
Lines for Boys to Remember.

What shall do?'' My boy, don't stand asking;
Take hold of observation-disclosures ou can.
Don't turn aside for the toiling or tasking;
Idle, soft hands never yet made a man.
Grasp with will whatever needs doing:
Still stand ready, when one work is done,
Another to seize, then still pursuing
In duty your course, find the victory won.
Do your best for to-day, trust God for to morrow
Don't be afraid of jest or a sneer;
Be cheerful and hopeful. and no trouble borrow
Keep the heart true, and the head cool and clear
If you can climb to the top without falling.
Do it. If not go as high as you can.
Man is not honored by business or calling;
Business and calling are honored by man.
