A BarefOoted Groom.

About twenty years ago young fel
low named johnson, in the wilds of the
Cheat mountains in West Virginia,
made Rp his mind to be married.
But you have not a penny" remon-
strated his friends.

handsome to scratch for himself, the
other for his wife," he said.
On the day of the wedding johnson
appeared in whole coat and trewsers,
but barefooted.

clergyman; 81 will lend you pair of
shoes -
"No;" said johnson, "when | cas buy

And he stood up To be married with

The same sturdy coaduct showed it.

not the money to pay for, he did with
out. He nired himself to farmer for a
years work With the money he saved
he bought a couple Of acres of timber
land, pair of sheep, built himself hut
and went to woIk on his ground.
His sheep increased. AS time flew by
he bought more; then he sold off the
cheaper kinds and invested in South
down and French Merino. His nsigbors
tried turns raising cattle, horses, or gave
their attention to experimental farming.
Johnson, having once found that
sheep raisiug in his district brought
handsome profit, stuck to it. He had
that shrewdneSs in seeing his way and
that dOSged persistence III following it,
which are tbs surest elemepts al success.
Stock buyers from the eastern mar

Words of Wisdom.

The worst men often give the best ad
vice.
Our deeds are sometimes better than
our thOughts.-Bailey.
We are too apt to measure mems great
ness by what they say, rsther than by
what they do.
1t is no small fault to be bad, and seem
so; it is a greater fault to seem good and
not to be so.-Warwick.
Friendship closes its eyes rather than
see the moon eclipse, while malice denies
that it is ever at the full.-Hall
As in our lives, so in our studies, 1t is
most becoming and most wise so to tenn
per gravity with cheerfulness, that the
former may not Undue our minds with
melancholy. nor the latter degenerate into
icentiOuSness.-Pliny.
The insolent civility of proud man, is,
if possible, more shocking than his rude
ness can be; because be shows you by his
manner that he thinks itmere condescen-
sion in him that his goodness alone be-
slows upon you what you have no pre-
tense to claim.-Chesterfeld.

The Harp of Ireland.

Harp of Erin, wake the song,
Sound ths chords that slumbersd long
Nerve the right and crush the wrong,
Sing for liberty;
Raise the fallen from the dust,
Give them life for God is just;
Bid them hope, His mercy trust,
Sing of victory.
Let thy song ascend on high,
Echo Ger the arching sky,
Prelude to the by and by,
Glorious the strains.
BY the deathless strains Of Moore,
Sounding from the eternal shore,
BY the sorrows Emmett bore,
Sever captive chains.
By the zeal of patriots brave,
BY the souls tyrants enslave,
by each martyrs hallowed grave,
Strike the sounding Tyre;
Let its strains reach unto heaven,
High and higher, for God hath given
Music power the truth to leaven
With seraphic fire.
Bid thy angel herald peace,
Danish sorrow, famine cease,
Justice, mercy, love increase
la the hearts of men.
Then shall every alter shine
With the rays of heaven divine,
And the golden rule sublime
Everlasting reign.
Harp Of Erin, DER the sea.
Sing of joy, for shadows flee,
Breaks the daWning glad and free,
Bright on thy fair isle;
Springs soft verduls, Summers bloom
Clothes in beauty Winters tomb,
Stars of righteousness illume
Erin, glorious isle.
