a Valuable Treasure.

A few days ago, while some work
men were pulling down an old build.
ing in the town of Svendborg, on the
island Of Funen, they came upon a val
liable treasure. which included ten
bars of very fine silver and STA sill
YER and gold coins, all dating from the
reign of the Danish King Eric of Pom
erania a. d. 1S96-I412). The whole
lsy together buried in the basement
close to the foundation. 1t is singular
that tradition Of centuries pointed 70
this house rs 3 place where treasure
had been buried. and the owner when
selling it short time since expressly
reserved the ownership Of any treasure
that might be found on the premises.

EVERYDAY PHILOSOPHY.

How often fancy loves 20 dwell
Upon some grand, heroic deed,
That We are sure we could do well.
If only there arose the need:
SPANS castle lifts the Gag on high
That we I'm thought would die TO save,
And strength and courage neer deny
Their valor TO mirage SO brave.
Bot come-to-day the world in wronai
A cloud is spread before the sun:
4 note or woe in every song
RoD1 zeet from Joy eer 'tIs begun;
b0me friend has failed our utmost truss
And bankrupt left q weary heart:
some lofty purpose trails Ia dust
It's pureness furnished at the start.
Thus we forget how We forget
That norrows hope has reached to-day ]
And even while corroding fret
Eats all the shining gold away,
We do not recognize the time
As one to claim and make our best;
So lose the chance to be sublime
BY falling under petty test.
For Oh IL takes O stegdfaSt soul
To meet the need Of every hour,
To make not cheerfulness q dole,
But rather constant, helpful power.
He who attains this goodly art
1s graced beyond reward OF kings,
Though humble be his name and part
His life q noble record brings.
