III SHOULD DIE TONIGHT.
If | should die tonight

Ii should die tonight
My friends would look upon my quiet face,
Before they laid it in its resting place,
And dream tina death had lett il almost fairs
And, laying snow white flowers against my
hair,
Would smooth it down with fearful tenderness,
And fold my hands with lingering cares,
Poor hands so empty and so cold tonight.
III should die tonight,
My friends would call TO mind, with loving
thoughts,
Some kindly deed these icy hands had wrought:
Some kindly deed the frozen lips had said.

The memory o. my selfshness and pride
And hasty words would all be put aside.

Oh, Friends. pray to night
Keep not your kisses tor my dead cold brow
The way is lonely, let Inc feel them now.
Think gently OF me, am travel-worn;
My feet are pierced with many thorn;
Forgive. oh hearts estranged, forgive. plead,
When dreamless sleep is mine shall rot need
The tenderness for which long .o-nig CHIT

John PlOwmaH's Proverbs.

Faults are always thick where love is
thin.
1t is never worth while to do unneces-
sary things.
Most people will help those who do
not need it.
Eaten bread is forgotten, and the hand
that gave it despised.
A fool may make money, but it needs
q wise man to spend it.
Every minnow wants to be . whale,
but it il prudent to be little fish while
you have but little water; when your
pond becomes the sea, then swell ~
much = you like.
