BETTER Than Gold.

Be,ter than grandeur, better than gold,
Tban rank and titles a thousand fold,
r healthy body and mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always please;
heart that can feel for another's woe,
And share its Joy with a genial glow;
With sympathies large enough to enfold
All men as brothers, is better than gold.
Better than gold is a conscience clear,
Though toiling for bread in an humOie
sphere,
Doubly blessed with content and health,
Untried by the lust or the cares Oh "edi'H'
Lowly living and lofty thought,
Adorn and ennOble poor mans co..
For mind and morals, in natures pian'
Are the genuine tests OF gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
of the sons Of toll when their labors close'
Better than gold is the poor man 5 sleep
And the balm that drops on his slumber deep
Bring sleepy draughts to the downy bed,
Where luxury pillows its aching head,
But he his simple opiate deems
A shorter route to the land Of dreams.
Better than gold is a thinking mind,
That in the realm of books can lind
A treasure surprising Australian ore,
And live with the great and good OF yore;
The sage's lore and the poets lay,
The glories Of empire pass away;
The worlds great dream will thus unfold
And Weld a pleasure better than gold
Better than gold is a peaceful home
When all the fireside characters come
The shrine of love, the heaven OF NE,
Hallowed by mother, or sister, or Wiie
However hunt bic the home may be,
Or tried with sorrow by heavens decree,
The blessings that never were bought nor
sold,
And center there, are better than gold.

any one who feels himself called TO the

kind friends will sometimes suggest that
you are weak, your nerves are tremulous,
you have been out in the cold, you need

ing of little wine or brandy before
preaching. These friends will tell you
that the most distinguished ministers are
in the habit of using them regret TO say
that IN many churches both wine and
brandy are there kept in the vestry for
the use of the minister, both before and

to give them strength for the pulpit. |

smother them with hatred and contention
and still others keep them in pickle al

them up with tongue sauce. Now ii il
rot supposed that husban Is will be tender
and good If treated in this way; but they
are ON the contrary, very delicious when
managed as follows: Get a large jar,
called the jar Of carefulness (Which all
good housewives have on hand), place
your husband in it, and set him near the
fire of coDiugal love let the fire be pretty
hot, especially let it be clear; above all,
let the heat be constant, cover him over
with affection and subsection; garpisn
him with spices Of pleasantly, and if you
add kisses aud other CONNECTIONS, let them
be accompanied with a sufficient portion
Of secrecy, mixed with prudence and

So Like a Flo wer
" grew hr the RlYer of LiIe--

A lily grew by the River of Life
Tender, and meek, and fairl
Out over the waves OF the troubled tide,
That tossed themselves by the lily's side,
She breathed perfume rare;
And vovagers drifting down to the sea-
Weary with labor and strife, may be-
We're cheered by the fragrant air.
Sweetly the sunshine, and softly the rain,
Fell where the lily grew;
And the wind that beats on the rivers breast
Scarce touched the leaves on the lily's crest
As DER her head il flew;
And when night elouded the strand and
stream,
Serene and holy the COLDER CLEAN
OF becoming stars broke through.
But Time stood thouehtfully whettmg his
scythe,
Close by the bank one day.
Where flood Of glory, vapor fair
As if an angel were brooding there
over the lily lay.
And there the fragrance pure and sweet
Rose from the bloom that grew at his feet,
Seeming the soft breath Of May.
Then long DER the blossom with tender eyes
Time bowed his wrihkled head;
Christ blesses the flowers that the earth
doth miss
The aged reaper said,
He turned the glass in his trembling hand;
Silently, swiftly the shifting sand
Ran through a silver thread,
He gazed down the river; the crimson bars
OF sunset filed the West
"The beautiful gates--th they are open widel
I'll lay the lily ailoat the tide
On some warm wave at rest"
He knclt wnere meekly the sweet flower
stood,
And gathered her to his breast.
And he placed her fondly ahoat The stream;
Peacefully there she lay,
As child in its cradle sinks to sleep
When evenings earliest shadows creep,
Smiling as still at play;
And while Time stood in the twilight there,
The sweet wind kissing his snow white hair,
she passed from his sight away.
The lily grows by the River ofGod--
Tender and meek, and fairl
Out over the waves Of the peaceful tide,
That ripple softly by the liy's side
She breathes a perfume rare!
And voyagers passing the pearly gates
Find rest at last, where the loved one waits
With ChrIst-her Christ-over there!
