leisure hours, was introduced into the
Ullman household.
Miss Ida, who is charming brunette

at once smiiten with her charms and
before returning South arranged 10 col
respond regularly with her. Loving
letters were exchanged, and finally
Meyer resolved TO go to New York and
bring matters to crisis. His inamorata

BETTER THAN GOLD.

Better than grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank and titles a thousand fold,
Is Il healthy body and mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always please;
\ heart that can feel for anOther's woe,
With sympathies large enough to enfold
All men rs brothers, is better than gold.
Better than gold is conscience clear,
Though toiling for bread III an humble
sphere,
DOubly blessed with content and health,
Unlriei by the lust and cares of wealth,
LOwly living aud lofty thought
Adorn and ennOble poor mans cot,
For mind and morals in natures plan,
Are the genuing tests OF gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose,
OF the sons OF toll when their labors close,
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep,
And the balm that drops Oh his slumDers
deep,
Bring sleeping draughts to the downy bed
Where luxury pillows its aching head,
The toiler simple opiate deems
y shorter road TO the land of dreams.
Better than gold is thinking mind,
That in the realms of books can find,
\ treasure surprising Australian ore,
And live with the great and good of yore,
The saSe's lore and the poets lay,
The glories of empire pass away;
The worlds great dream will thus enfold
And yield pleasure better than gold.
Better than gold is a peaceful home,
When all the tireSide characters come,
The shrine OF love, the Heaven OF life,
Hallowed by mother, or sister, or wife,
However humble the home may be,
Or tried With sorrow by Heavens decree,
The blessings that never were bought nor
sold,
And centre there, are better than gold.
