NOT LOST.

The look Of sympathy; the gentle word
Spoken 80 low that only angels heard
The secret part Of pure self-sacrihee,
Unseen BY men. but marked by angels eyes.
These are not last.
The sacred music Of a tender strain,
wrung from poets heart by grief and pain,
And chanted timidly with doubt and fear,
To busy crowds who saeredly pause to hear;
These are not lost.
The silent tears that fall at dead Of night,
Over soiled robes, that once were pure ana Nhi'e
The prayers that rise like incense from the soul
Long for Christ to make il clean and whole:
These are not hot.
The happy dreams that gladden. all our youth,
When dreams had les Of self and more Of truth
The ehiiihood's faith, 50 tranquil and so sweet,
Which sat like Mary at the Masters feet
These ere not lost.
The kindly plans devised for others good,
So solemn guessed, so rttie understood;
The quie t.steadfl,st love that strove to win
Some wanderers from the way Of sin;
These are not lost.
Not lost, o Lord for in Thy city bright,
Our eyes shall see the past by clearer light,
And things long hidden FROM our gaze below
Thou wilt reveal and We shall surely know,
They are not lost.

Every rose has its thorn.
Blame is safer than praise.
All the devils respect virtue.
Ambition never looks behind.
A sincere word was never lost.
Every one ought to do some

A small leak will sink a great

Truth refines but does not OBJ

A good maxim is never out Of

Good intentions will not justify
evil actions.
To subdue trifling error do not
incur a greater.
A true friend can sometimes af-
ford to be offensive.
Industry is essential to useful

The remedy for injuries is not to

A man in q passion rides horse

That load appears light which is

Antiquity cannot sanction an
error nor novelty injure a truth.
Books are to the young what
capital is to the man in business.
There is nothing good that may
not be converted to evil purposes.

Worth has been moderated ever
