Friend, send abroad the cooking stove.
round which the smoking viands stand,
AND which prepares the feasts we love:
No better gift in all the land.
kneelling before il every day
With incense smoking up TO heaven.
Here priests their sacrifices lay.
And hero the priestess spreads her Ieaven.
our VeStal fires euEindic here.
X here with blood and fat atone;
Sin then from earth will disappear.

Never was greater blessings known.

Go TO the ant, the provcrb says;
Enter her school, and learn her ways

OF such great firms there are but few
small was the fountain when il rose,
To-day see what a current flows.
Eternal vigilance. motto true.
IeWdfucd tncin- and thus they grew
with small profits in their trade.
Quick sales. and cash. their fortunes made.
ntil the frm have hardly space
In which their growing stock TO place.
Now twas good policy, YOU see;
Not fortunes whecl,-but industry.
Acrostic No. $50 e. r.
Contentment is the balm of life
A mcdlcated cure for strife.
Love is the mortar where It's ground:
essence OF truth forms the compound.
backwards. contentment can survey
Time records all without dismay;
Forwards. its ken, through mists between,
Reaches into the great Unseen"
And thus. its better Judgment deems
Zero the choice-between extremes:
Enough to know the present time:
hemOter things are too sublime.
Acr0sfic No. To Time and L. l.
Lost time is seldom found again;
Unless. with suicide intent
1t is that precious time Is spent
See That each passing hour you catch;
Look sharply TO your clock or watch,
Ipon whose face you sec how quick
Ian some hard eases get on tick.
fnOW, TOO. this truth. few of its like.
How clocks. like men, get on a strike:
ANA II your time should ever fail,
Repair it. and you will prevail.
Days. years. and cpOChs thus count,
TIL time sums up the whole amount.
Acrosfic No. 5.-TO H. J. r.
Hope j. the anchor Of the soul.
Olr stall Of Faith on which we lean,
While time past We cannot control.
trust is placed in the Unseen.
Reposing thus. the aching breast
Derives a present pleasure here:
Joy plumcS his wings for that far rest
Reserved in a more distant sphere.
Un future things the heart depends:
Beyond the JortOn can see
Eternal loys-undying friends
Rest Tor the soul from time set free.
Thus hope assures the doubling soul.
Sull pointing to the distant goal
Acr0Sfic No. 60 You KnOt- Who.
How oft we find that industry and skill
Earn but enough the craving mouth TO fill;
Not that the head heart in duty fails:
Rather because some outside foe assailS.
You hnd in"ratitude where 'er YOU go
A cruel friend, or sycOphantic foe.
Men are too often traitors in disguise.
Crushing the hope that most on them relies.
Perish the men who. favored Oft by thee.
In turn decline fair reciprocity.
Kind friend. to all 80 kind. 1 pray
Each friendly act the world will yet repay.
