WORDS OLE WISDOM.

WE need the sick, the poor the aged, to teach us
mercy and love and kindness.
Small things are often the hinges on which
mOmentous matters turn
knowledge Is now no more fountain sealed;
Drink Deep until the habits Of the slave,
The Sins Of emptiness gossip, and spite,
And SANDER die"
companion that is cheerful, aud free from
seurrillous discourse, and free from swearing is
worth gold, I love such mirth as does not make
friends ashamed to look upon one another the
next morning.
When boys and girls are taught more generally
than now is the case the blessings inherent in
work, work of the soul and brain and hand then
there Will be less reason to complain Of social
degeneracy of any kind,
Home is home, however lowly;
Fenced around by many SPELL
If within It's precincts holy
Room be found for love to dwell
There is sure no spot on EARTH
Wheresoeer our steps may roam,
Can outshine the smiling hearth
Of tranquil, happy home.
It takes very little religion to make us simply
happy; 1t takes great deal to keep back hasty,
unkind words, to make us patient with the steady
grind Of daily care when everything seems to go
wrong; when everything seems to be against us.
God is to me no dogging detective forever on
my trail, but rather companion, who is at once
my friend and my protectors one with whom
can enjoy the sweetest fellowship, and from
whom l can receive the richest blessings-LDr
