GIVING AND LYING.

Forever the sun is pouring its gold
On hundred worlds that beg and borrow
His warmth he squanders on SUBMITS cold.
His wealth on the homes of want and sorrow
To withhold his largess of precious light
Is to bury himself in eternal night
To give
Is to live.
The flower shines not for itself at all
Its JOY as the joy it freely diffuses;
OF beauty and balm it is prodigal,
And it lives in the light it freely loses
3 No choice for the rose but glory or doom.
To eXhale or smother, to wither or bloom.
To deny
Is to die
The seas lend silvery rays to the land,
The laI1d It's sapphire streams to the ocean
The heart sends blood to- the brain of com.
mand
The brain to the heart its lightning motion:
And over and over we yield our breath
Till the mirror is dry and images DEATH
To live
Is to give.
He is dead whose hand is not open wide
TO help the need of a human brother:
He doubles the length of his lifelong ride
Who gives his fortunate place to another:
And thousand million lives are his
Who carries the world in his sympathies.
To deny
~ Is to die.

The Korigane Diamond-A Romance.

The north wind moaned and sighed
through the trees, causing their
branches to wave about and beat
against the black. night as if striving to
ward off the blows of an unseen but
ever active enemy. In the castle, from
whose turrets could be seen miles and
miles of fertile acres, leafy woods and
smiling meadows, lay an old man dying.
1t was the Baron de Korigane. By his
couch stood Percy de Herbert, his faith
full friend, whose life he had once
saved while they were battling against
the Saracens. Percy had fallen into a
creek and Korigane pulled him out,

by this discovery that profuse perspi-

his amazement. had the effect of restor-

he made of hisrecovered powers was to
walk to the Commissary of Police and
make a declaration of the theft

Turning Potatoes into Cheese.

A foreign paper says that cheese
is made from potatoes in Thuringia
and Saxony in the manner below
Possibly the process may be worth
trying, if not profitable in this
country. After having collected a
quantity of potatoes of good quality
giving preference to a large, white
kind, they are boiled in caldron,
and after being cooled they are peel
ed and reduced to pulp, either by
means of a crater or mortar. 70 5
pounds of this pulp which ought to
be as equal as possible, is added
one pound of sour milk and the
necessary quantity of salt. The
whole is kneaded together and the
mixture covered up and allowed to
lie for two or three days, according
to the season. At the end of this
time it is kneaded anew, and the
cheeses are placed in little baskets,
when the superfluous moisture es-
capcs. They are then allowed to
dry in the shade, and placed in lay
ers In large vessels, where they must
remain for fifteen days, The older
these cheeses are the more their
quality improves. Three kinds are
made. The first and most common
is made as detailed above; the sec
ond, with four parts of potatoes and
four parts ofsweet milk. These chees-
es baYe this advantage over other
kinds, that they do not engender
worms, and keep fresh for num-
Der of years, provided they are plae-
ed in dry situation and in we'll
closed vessels.

The Darkcys Repentance.

Last Saturday night some sinner
stole chickens from the coop of Rev.
Aminidab Bledso, OF the Galveston
Blue-Light Tabernacle, and the
next day the Reverend gentleman
preached a powerful sermon against
the sin of ealingchickens and prom
ising everlasting punishment to the
man who stole his two chickens.
Early Monday morning Jim Web
ster called at the parsons door with
scared face and some poultry. He
said:
"Parson Bledso, dat ar sermon
most scared me to death. | COULDN'T t
sleep wink, so |, fotched your
chickens back"
81 don't keer for the fowls, Jeems,
but it pleases me nightly to know
dat [ am ala humble instrument in
de hands of de Almighty to bring
sinners to repentance and to cause
dem to lead a new life. But, look
