WE MAY BE HAPPY YET,

Yet take good heart, though tempests lower,
And thy bright hopes all fade away,
Faith still exerts the gracious power,
To gild with radiance each day
So take good heart-God reigns above
His sun can neither wane nor set,
Let nature grow in grace and love
We may be happy yet.
What though dark clouds obscure the light
And sunny hours of day are past.
What though the sable shrouded night,
Is closing in all nature fast;
We who have loved thro' doubts and fears,
And ne'er gave ear to sad regret,
Shall find some solace for our tears
We may be happy yet.
What though unhappy years have past,
Since vows are laid on loves pure shrine,
Though severed wide, We meet at last,
Beyond the stormy verge of time;
Now spirit forms seem waiting near,
And their soft whispers linger yet,
Tho earth's sweet flowers are dead and sere
We may be happy yet.
The stars that gem heavens azure dome,
In whispers low speak peace TO me;
They tell of delightful Home.
Across life's heaving storm tossed sea;
And though on earth We meet with loss
OF kindred hearts, whom we have met,
We need not harbor thoughts morose-
We may be happy yet.
Ay, by the wondering birds that find
A home beyond the rolling wave,
Though oft the wind and storm combine,
To swallow them in some dark grave
BY summer suns that bright arise,
Through seas of tears, in which they set (;
BY loves unfailing prophesies-
We may be happy yet

His employers expressed them

paying for the boots.
On his next trip he was fortunate

Romance of q Peer.

Lord Congleton, who died recent
ly, says London Lite, was man of
marked eccentrieity OF manner, but
his blunt speech and brusqueness
of bearing covered a warm and
kindly heart. He was an ardent
supporter of the sect known as
" Plymouth Brethren" and it was
his devotion to this peculiar kind of
worship that involved him in rather
a strange match. While travelling
in Persia with a friend he succeeded
in converting an Armenian ladv,
Madame Lazar, widow of an Ar
menian merchant, TO a belief in this
peculiar form of worship. Convert
ing her was, comparatively sinple
business but then arose the ques-
ton, what is to be done next? pro-
priety forbade that these gentlemen
should travel about with handsome
widow, while were she left behind,
her heathen relations would make
short work other Christianity. For
the sake of her soul one Of them
must marry her. Ii fell to the lot
of Lord Congleton, who at once car
ried out the contract, and lived very
happy with her until her death.

The German toys are splendid.
The little horses and other animals
have the real skin Of the animal over
them. The only objection to the
toys is that they ary sometimes like
French dolls, and should be set up

town in that ancient Thuringian
forest where the::wild huntsmen go
riding around carrying their heads
under their arms.
Also, here is a case ofexquisite en-
broideries made by the women in
the State prison at Berlin. They
are so wonderfully wrought that some
of the collars have the appearance
oflace- work, the muslin having been
all worked up. One wonders how
they can do such things. 1t is be-
cause they have to stay in so many
years that they have plenty of time
for that practice which makes

Things That Science Don't Teach.

In scalding hog, does science
teach that if the water is a little too
hot the hair will not slip, that it is
set, and must be shaved off with a
knife? Every farmer should know
these things, and they must be
taught, Do any of the graduates of
any agricultural school know that
in building a stack of grain or hay
it must be kept fullest in the middle
and we'll trod down ? Do they know
how to tie up and shock grain? Do
they know how to whet scvthe? {?
Do they know that if the blade is
whetted up and down it will not cut
off the straw clean, as it should be
wnetted from heel to point? Do
they know how to lengthen orshort-
en- the plow gear so that the plow
will not cut toe deep or shallow ?
Do they know how to put up a rail
fence Sc that some of the rails will
not project at the corners to snag
the stock =? Do they know how to
put up a stone feLce so it will
stand, and that the long rocks ought
10 be put cross.wise the fence to act
as braces, and if this is done it will
not tumble down by settling? Do
they know how to square house?
Science teaches them that the square
of the hypothenuse OF a right-angled
triangle is equal to the sum of the
squares .oi the two sides but
they have never seen the appli-
cation of this rule, thus they
build ashouse pointing every way
but the right way. Experience teach
es US that with a ten-foot pole a
house can be squared in five min
utes. We measure eight feet on one
sill and make notch. If the ten
foot pole just reaches from notch to
notch that corner is square, the 9TH
er three corners treated in the same
way will be square, and also the
house.
