Persons inclined to superstition may
find some reason for the terrible ca
lamities that have befallen the world
thus far during the current year in
the circumstance that it began on a
Friday. will end on a Friday and con
tains fifty-three Fridays. -Four
months in the year have five Fridays.
Five changes of the moon occur on a
Friday, and both the longest and
shortest days in the twelve months
are on Fridays. This might. indeed,
be termed Friday year.

A thing with which they circumvent
caterpilIars in the Boston and New

The iron belt fits around the trunk
of the tree, and when the climbing

trough of oil it is overcome by the
fumes, and so falls back dead.

When I wake in my garnet at morn, for a
moment half forget,
And think am back again in the heart OF
grassgrown lea;
For cage-bird is singing across the way
twixt the boxes of mignonet;e-
snail ever forget that day or the kind hearts
that gave it to me?
And again. in the heat of the noon, I am fain
to close my eyes,
And across the housetops high, and the
weary, amending steam,
Comes wind of the dawn to me, and the blue
OF the shining skies,
And the sight of the sickle at work-oh
faint and far-off as dream.
The whirr OF the busy machine turns into the
hum of the bees,
And the light creeps over the corn and the
wheat fields golden and fair.
where the low-roofed farmhouse nestles down
In the arms of the bowerirg trees,
And the breath of the fragrant flowers
arises to God like prayer.
1t was only mine for day. l haye neither
loi nor part
In the joyous song of the bird. nor the wild
sweet breezes that roam;
but dreary and long seems my task, and fain'
and sick grows my heart
With the inconsistencies, hard to bear for 8
place that Is not my home.
There even the graves are green-ohl safely
and calmly they lie
In the shade of the old church spire while
the river nows nOi.eless psst;
And the children laugh at their play or sing al
they hasten by
Is there never a corner for me, where car
find rest at last?

LAEAGAN'S LOGIC.

Too much Importance is self-import-
AAce.
You may cheat others now, but your
self also in the long run.
The greatest honor that man can
render to God is to be good to himself.
What man is deficient of in sense he
usually makes up in mulishness.
The best of men have some little
weaknesses, which is lucky for women.
Nature is frank and will allow no
man to abuse himself without giving
him hint of it.
Our embarrassments are more often
the outgrowih of our own merit than
other peoples fault.
Remember this: However small you
consider your possessions there is some
one who envies you them.
There is no luck, but there is such a
thing as hard work and knowing how
to make it answer for what others call
''luck."
The only talent that man under all
circumstances has succeeded in handing
down to his son is the ability to judge
prime whisky.
Too many young men believe that
"the world owes every man living
and that it requires no effort on man s
part to make the collection.
have made fool of myself several
times so far in this life, but don't re-
member now of having any pride in the
matter at the time or since.
When a man hasn't got pride
enough left to brag of his ancestors
he doesn't generally amount to much
more in this life than the queen of
clubs when it isn't trump.
No matter how low down man may
get there is not more than one in every
hundred of them but will prove true to a
small trust if his pride be strengthened
by your seeming faith in him.
Much of the world is prejudiced
against facts, because facts stick to the
text and don't 90 out of the way to
concoet a palatable medium for the
worlds own genteel taste and wise
opinions.
Nature gives to man intelligence; to
animals, instinct; and yet l know OF
no animal that gets drunk upon the
slightest provocation, betrays his
friends, or makes its ancestors ashamed
of it.
One breach of faith will always be
remembered, no matter how loyal your
subsequent life may be. People may
imagine that they trust you, yet all
the time they have an eye to the form
or break.
Simply believing the truths of re-
ligion doesn't make you religious; you
may appreciate right and yet not do
right; weeping over martyrs is not as
heroic Is having had your lamp snuff
