A CASE ''GIvEN OVER TO DIE. The
following report of case in which, to all
appearances, the patient was beyond the
reach of curative agencies, is one among
the many surprising results which are
continually attending the use of Compound
Oxygen: ''The last home treatment that
/ ordered from you" writes a physician
in Vermont, ''was for Mrs. She
was given over to die by her old physi-
clan (who has treated her for twenty-five
years. and friends. g was calledzto see
her when She could not speak a loud word,
or lift her head from the pillow; could
take no food except a little beeftea. 1

EongrErN GREAT M1srAKEs.-It is

FOURTEEN GREAT MIsTAKEs.-It is
great mistake to set up our own stand
ard of wrong and right and judge peo-
pie accordingly. 1t is a great mistake
to measure the enjoyment of others by
our own to expect uniformity of opini-
on in this world; to look for judgment
and experience in youth to endeavor
to mold all dispositions alike; not to
yield to immaterial trifes; to look for
pelf ction IN our own actions; to worry
ourselves and others with what can not
be remedied; not to alleviate all that
needs alienation, as far as lies in our
power; not to make al lowances for the
in6rmities of others; to consider every
thing impossible which we can not per-
form to believe only what our iu6nite
minds can grasp; to expect to be able
to understand everything. The great
est of all mistakes is to live only for
time, when any moment may launch US
into eternity

COURTSHIP.

1t CHANGED, they say, upon day,
A furlong from the town,
That he was strolling up the way
AS she was strolling down .ssaazsaz
She humrning low, as might be SO,
A ditty sweet and small;
He whist1ing loud a tune. you know,
That had no tune at all.
1t happened so-precisely So
AS all their friends and neighbors know.
As I and you perhaps might do.
They gazed upon the ground
But when they'd gone yard or two,
Of course they both looked round.
They both were panied. they both explained
What caused their eyes to roam;
And nothing after that remained
But he should see her home.
1t happened so-precisely So
As all their friends and neighbors know.
Next day to that t was common chat,
Admitting no debate,
A bonnet close beside hat
Was sitting on gate,
A month. not more, had hustled Ger.
When. Drawing nod and smile,
One blushing soul came through the door
Where two went up the aisle.
1t happened so-precisely So
AS all their friends and neighbors know.

THE BATTLE OF LIFE.

Go forth TO the battle of life, my boy
Go while it is called to-day:
For the years go out and the years come in,
Regardless of those who may lose or win.
Of those who may work or play
And the troops march steadily on my boy,
To the army gone before
You may hear the sound of their falling feet
Going down to the river where two worlds meet
They go to return no more.
There is place for you in the ranks, my boy,
And duty, too assigned; z
Step into the front with cheerful face;
Be quick, or another may take your place.
And you may be left behind.
There is work to be done by the way, my boy.
That you can never tread again
Work for the loftiest. lowliest men,
Work for the plow. plane, spindle and pen
Work for the hands and the brain.
Temptations will wait by the way. my boy,
Temptations without and within;
And spirits of evil. with robes as fair
AS those which the angels in heaven might wear,
Will lure you to deadly sin.
Then put on the armor of God, my boy,
In the beautiful days OF youth;
Put on the helmet and breast-plate and shield,
And the sword that the feeblest arm may WELD,
In the cause of right and truth.
And 80 to the battle of life, my boy. - sza- i.
With the peace Of the Gospel shod, 80 81
And before high heaven do the best you can
For thereward and good Of man. SO g
For the kingdom and crown of God. s
