PRIDE.

We take pleasure in presenting
our readers with the following COM
position On "Pride." from The pen
Of one Of the fair students of Cow
lngton High School We desire to
make these compositions feature
In future issues OF the FARMER,
with the double purpose Of encour-
aging the literary efforts of the
pupils and adding interest to OUT
columns:
Pride may be considered one of
the strongest passions of the human
mind; but We more frequently see
it united with ignorance than with
knowledge. There is certain por-
ton of vanity and pride necessary
for the preservation Of the human
character; but when it is carried to
an extent beyond that medium it
becomes disgusting in the sight of
modesty and humility, and never
fails to render the possessor con-
temptlble 10 the eyes Of the chaste
and the interrupted. Miserable
thought to the proud man. but,
alas! he caunot deny it. There,
i'll his sight, sleeps the skull which
once was filled with as many
Utopian dreams as that which gazes
with vacant stare upon it." Heart
rending idea to the proud man. He
there views the state to which his
own frame must be subjected,
which he now thinks is too good al
most to tread the earth beneath
him. "Thelr pride could not re-
trieye then fall, and their boosted
superiority could not escape the
yawning jaws of the grave death

YOURS, w.thaat remorse, his millions
at one meal" and Stays youth.
beauty, pride and grandeur; nor
does he cast single glance in his
indiscriminate choice. Pride was
carried away in the overwhelming
deluge, and its brother, Ambition,
sank at its side" (There is not ii
single day swallowed up in the yor-
tex of time. that does not carry
with it to the vast labyrinth Of eter-
nifty the lives Of about eighty thou.
sand Of the human family.) Where
is Pride in this deathly famine?
Alas! it is destined to fill the fa,u-
ished NAV of death. The brilliant
eye, the budding lips and the
blushing cheeks of beauty, before
whom the great AID the grand
have bowed down in alteration, are
all destined to perish in the gloom
of the grave. Thus we see that
Pride is unbecoming in such fail
mortals, and when life nears its
end we are convinced of its vanity
Go ask the grave; 60 ask the silent
slumbeier, wrapped in his pale,
cold shroud; go ask the mighty
dead, who once swayed the sceptre
Of the world. and they will tell, as
with the voice of inspiration-as
with a voice of thulder-the vanity
and insignihcance of all human
pride. EMMA Poole.

Had regular "closing-out day."
And Of all the most dScOuraging meSseS
Commend me to old clothes, say.
1here they are, worn and tagged out and ia ttered
On the bed and the chairs and the door,
While some hats, rather rakishly battered,
Lie socially near on the floor.
There's my white lace, still covered with fayorS-
Cost fortune and turned out fraud;
But wore it that night at the Travers',
When danced with the swell from abroad.
Here's bunting, a satin brocaded;
Here's nuns cloth, made up rather plain:
And with such an aggressive big stain.
remember the last time wore it,
AT that picnic where we caught trout,
And caught on a thorn bush and tore Ii,
And OF course all the shirring came out:
And to finish the wreck more completely,
Tom McCrary, the laundering old dear,
Must needs upset his berries diScreetly-
The avalanche struck me Just here.
Poor Tom! In far-on Colorado
He's at work In some gully or ditch;
But 1t never will prove Ell Dorado
Tom isn't the kind to get rich.
AND should he return, dear old fellow,
With his limited income Increased,
I'm certain I'd be Sefe and yellow,
And he would be forty at least
1t is silly, know, to remember,
But some thoughts are so 10th to 60.
And girl can't wait always, you know.
Well life IS peculiar and puzzling,
And don't find much game In the hunt
Butt always shalt keep that blue muslin
With the strawberry stain down the front.
