these notes are made from pure white

tured for nearly two hundred years by
the same family, the Portals, Protestant
refugees. So carefully is the paper pre-
pared that even the numbers of dips into

NOTHING NEW UNDER TIE SIN.

Nothing under the sun is new
The old was old in Solomou's dav.
The false was false and the true was true.
As the false and true VIII be alway.
The PhaIisee walks in the public place
With has broad phyiacteires displayed,
And makes the prayers with a solemn face
That thousand years ago he made.
The priest and the Levite stin pass by,
While the wounded wretch on the other side
Appeals in vain with beseeching eve
For the helping hand so eddy denied
Now Lazarus begs at Dives gate
For the crumbs that fall from his ample feast
And never fear of MS future fate
Dlsturbs the rich mans soul in the least.
And Masdalen crcucles in dumb DESPAIR,
Alone at the foot Of the alter stone,
And nobody heeds her lying there.
Or hears her prayer in its anguished yaoan.
So nothing under the san is new
The old was old in Splumons dav:
But where are the workers, faithful and true.
Who lifted the fallen along the way?
VIII the good Samaritan come no more?
Is the strength Of the chosen weak and cold ?
Are the faith and hope and charity e'er?
Is 1t only love that dies when old,
Nay, love survives, and brave souls live.
and generous deeds are done by the few.
While the many accept what the martyrs give,
And-nothiug under the sun is new.
