REMEMBERED AND FORGOTTEN.

What shall we remember,
What shall we forget?
Seems the vexing question
Over which men fret,
Till the shining angel.
Charity by name,
Points to her white record,
Known to earthly fame.
What shall we remember?
Every kindly thought,
Every well.fought battle,
Every good thing wrought,
Every thoughtful saying.
Every honest deed
Done by friends and neighbOrs
For each others need.
What shall we remember?
Nothing that will harm,
Nothing that will scatter
Trouble and alarm,
Nothing that will foster
Hatred in the heart,
Nothing that will make US
Act the vengeful part.
What shall be forgotten?
Everything that mars,
Everything that brings up
Old forgotten scars;
Everything that rankles,
Everything that stings-
Making room for treasures
And all beauteous things.
What shall be forgotten
As we pass alongS
Every jealous feeling,
Every grudge and wrong.
five close our journey
With our faults forgiven,
What shall be forgotten?
Everything but heaven.

THE IRISH FAMINE.

have made my fist visit to the
counties of Ireland, and hasten to make
my report of what l have seen and done.
The committee, which is composed of
gentlemen thoroughly acquainted with
the country and the people, has entered
upon its difficult task with the determi-
nation to make personal inspection of
the distressed districts. They are emf
nently fitted to supply the pressing need
of the sufferers with the greatest possi-
BILE speed and economy of the funds.
They have already held several meet
ings, at which those sections have been
indicated which need the earliest atten-
tion. They have voted supplies for the
quarters where vast amount of suffer-
ing is known to exist.
THREE BAD CROPS.
It is easy to understand the causes of
the present poverty. The people have
had three bad crops in succession things
have been growing worse and worse until
the almost utter failure of the crops last
year brought them to the verge of star
vation. They have nothing to plant-a
want which the British government will
supply by the loan of seed potatoes on
very easy terms. They have nothing to
eat, want which you have yourselves
SO generously helped to supply by gifts
which l am sure you will supplement by
other gifts when you know what is the
real state of the case. In order to un-
derstand for myself the condition cf af-

THEY DIDN'T THINK.
FOR LITTLE Folks.

NNN AAAAAs ANA<Ass
Once a trap was baited
With piece Of cheese,
1t tickled so a little mouse
Italmost made him sneeze.
An old rat said, There's danger,
Be careful where you gol"
Nonsense ~ said the other,
Il don't think you know r.
So he walked in boldly;
Nobody in sight;
First he took a nibble;
Then he took a bite;
Close the trap together
Snapped, as quick as wink.
Catching mousy fast there,
Cause he didn't think.
Once little turkey.
Fond OF her own way,
Wouldn't ask the old ones
Where to 60 or stay.
She said. "rm not baby;
Here 1 am halfgrown
Surely am big enough
To run around alonei''
on she went; but somebody,
Hiding saw her pass;
Soon like snow her feathers
Covered all the grass;
80 she MADE a supper
For a sly young mink.
Cause she was so headstrong
That she didn't think.
Once there was robin
Living outside the door,
Who wanted to go inside
And hop upon the floor.
"No, no." said the mother;
"You must stay with me;
Little birds are safest
Sitting in treer'
~ don't care" said robin,
And gave his tail fling.
81 don't think the old folks
Know quite evrything."
Down he flew, and kitty seized him.
Before he'd time to blink,
"oh he cred, I'm sorry.
But didn't think.
Now, my little children,
You who read this ong
Don't you see what trouble
Comes of thinking wrong?
And can't you take a warning
From their dreadful fate,
Who began their thinking
When it was too late?
Don't think there's always safety
Don't suppose you know moro
Than anybody knows;
But, when you're warned OF ruin,
Pause upon the brink,
And don't go under headlong,
Cause you didn't think.
