TO A DIsCONTENTED MAN,

Where is the man who deres change place
With the hsppiest man he knows?
Take his chances and his fortune.
Bear alike his joys and woes?
Yet the world is full of grumblers,
Always growing at their fate,
Sullen, surly, disc1ntented,
Filled with envy and with hate.
Thinking all the worlds against them,
All their friends will prove untrue.
Never dreaming they can help II,
And the way is easv, too.
Now, my poor unhappy growler,
Half the fault lies with yourself;
Think little more OF Others
Lay your own care en- the shelf
Help make sunshine for your neighbors;
Drive the frown from from of your brow;
Do some act of downright kindness
Hard at first, / will allow.
Yet twill grow to be pleasure,
If repeated Ger and DER,
And twill fill your heart with sunshine,
Till you feel to growl no more.
If you have your little trials,
Bear them bravely as you can.
Do not let them spoil your temper,
No one loves surly man.
Other people have their troubles
No one is from sorrow free;
Some have ten fold more than thou hast,
Yet they do not growl like thee.
Carrie T. Richards in BdlJouPs Magazine.

STRIFE.
BY FANNIE HAMILTON.

1--WE catch at at the skirts of the thing we would
Lucille
Out of the trivial, out of the frivolous
Into the night and the holy chivalrous.
Look on us striving.
Now, with our faces lgnODle and leertng;
Now, with sins fever our bright beauty soaring
Now with great souls that are Heave nwald near
Look On US living.
Out Of our selfishness, out of our weakness.
Into Christ's love and Christs strength, and
Christ's weakness,
Look on us striving.
Now with our heart full of hatred and burning
Now, Heavens hottest visitants spurning;
Now, with our eyes dimmed with tears and heart
yearning,
Look on US living.
Out of the hour Of hard. meaningless laughter
Into the sorrow that purites after,
Look on us striving.
Now, with Jest at some poor feeble brother;
Now, with a cruel careless sheer at another;
Now, with the sweet tender heart of mother
Look on US living.
Oh! It's the woe and the sin we inherit
That so retards the pure growth of the spirit
Marring its nature?
God dost thou see my poor blind eyes blind
See my poor soul like some feeble one, creeping,
Bruising the wings that to Heaven should be
sweeping
In holy rspture
Oh where is the strength? Lift me- heal me !
grant favorl
Fix on my face Thy sweet image, my Savior,
Ease my soul-striving.
Painting, fall in the midst Of mems laughter;
But Thou, oh Love! heed my hearts sighting
utter.
Whisper to angels: "stoop. life her, and wait her
To purer living"
o, send pure angels to me in their beauty,
Let me look on them and learn tender duty
To lift and tighten.
With my souls eyes on the sweet angel faces,
Shall not my brow beam again with rare traces
And Others round me the spiritual graces
Partake of and brighten
Father forgive me. Thy angels e'er crowd me-
/ could not see till humility forced me.
Now low I'm kpeeirg.
With eyes appraised and not selhshly ring
For selfish gains and sweetly are nearing
Pure thoughts, high aims and Heaven hymns
cheering
To holy feeling.

The Committee on Resolutions is gen.
orally regarded as having a majority for
a conservative platform. 1t contains.
however. extremists of both views, and
4 member whose position has not been
clearly defined. In any action of the
