Patient with the living.

Sweet frIends when thou and are QOna
Beyond earfhss weary labor,
When small shall be orr need Of uraca
From comrade or from neighbor,
Passed all the strife, the toni, the care.
And done with all the signing.
What tender truth shall We have gained.
Alas, BY simply dying.
Then lips too chary Of their praise
VIII tell our merits over.
And eyes too swift our faults to see
Shall no defect discover.
Then hands that would not Lift stone
Where stones were thick to cumber
Our steep hili-path, will scatter flower
Above our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchance both thou and I,
Ere love is past forgiving,
Should take the earnest lesson home
Be patient with the living.
To-day's depressed rebuke NAV.
Our binding tears tomorrow;
Then patience-e'en when keenest eA
NJ y whet nameless sorrow.
'Tis easy to be gentle when
Deaths silence shames our clar
And easr to discern the best
Through memory's mystic glamour;
But wise it were for thee and me,
Ere love is past forgiving,
To take the tender lesson home
Be patient with the living.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Beware of the man or woman who
assumes perfection.
Creditors and poor relations seldom
call at the right moment.
He who betrays the confidence OF
one is not worthy of the confidence Of
another.
The best and most important part
of a mans education is that which he
gives himself.
In the sweat of thy brow shall thou
eat thy bread" This is a curse which
has proved a blessing in disguise.
There is no courage in surrendering
what Is true; no real courage In defy
ing public sentiment when that senti-
ment springs from the truth.
Virtue viii catch as well as rice by
contact; and the public stock Of hon
est. manly principle win daily accu-
muIate.
If it is part Of prudence to face
every claimant, and pay every Just
demand on your time, your talents, OF
your heart, always pay; FOR, first OF
last. you must pay your entire debt.

A Present FOR the Prasidenf.

The state department at Washington
has received advices from our minister
at the court Of Siam that very hand
some present for President Arthur has
been received at the legationin Bangkok,
consisting of Malay krissaof the finest
temper, with solid gold hiIt, and en-
cased in a gold alleged scabbard, and
two spears of quaint Malay fashion, with
gold sheaths for the beautifully polished
blades. They are reported 20 be of great
beauty, and are very valuable. They
were sent to the President under singu-
lar and interesting circumstances. Many
Americans, particularly if either owners
or underwriters, will remember that in
1881 the bark Coringa, of Boston, while
on voyage from Siam to Java, went
ashore, during a heavy gale, at a
point on the peninsula of Malacca,
called Tuluban, and went to pieces
almost Immediately. The crew
and officers reached the sbo9e safely, and
were received by the chief at that point
most Hospitality. He took the captain,
his wife and child into his own house,
aud provided for the others In the vii
lage. He kept them for NEARLY month,
and treated them with the utmost kind
ness and courtesy. Whea the news
reached Bangkok, our minister at that
port took the necessary steps for sending
relief, and they were AL brought up to
that port and shipped vim Singapore to
the United States Our minister, Gen.
Halderman, in his recommendation to
the government on the matter, recon-
mended that this hospitality shown to
distressed Americans should not go an
rewarded, and on this Recommendation
the government caused a.valuabIe gold
medal to be struck and sent out, together
with Winchester express rifle mounted
most deliberately, and gilt aud nickeled
profuselv. These were sent to Gen. Hal
derman, and by him presented in person
to the chief, at his own village in Tulu-
ban. The poor rajah was quite overcome
by the great honor done him, for, as he
thought, trifing act of Blindness, and,
in return for the attention. shown him,
had these superb presents prepared for
transmission to his brother chief of the
American confederation. Tuluban is
Malay and Mahomedan state, though
dependency of Siam and attached to the
