Full souied and odorous; and life all fair
As summer moon
When stars lace beams as rare
As laughter which hath not behind soms

Hope can deceive
No longer: life no more

We fold orr wings as birds that seek the nest
Earth is bedight
With rose no more. The Zest
OF life sinks with the sunlight in the west
II is no dream.
No oastle-tuilding time. that we call life:
To catch the CLEAN

Our toll must tend to reach the better life.
There is much room
For gratitude, much room for tenderness
In all the gloom
OF sorrow. much to bless.

Let us not turn
To seek in clouds our happiness but try
Each day to learn
That near home blessings lie.

A GRAND GRAFTON.
The Remarkable and Peculiar Power I
President Ldncoln's Oratory.

The Remarkable and Peculiar Power Of
President Ldncoln's Oratory.
Mr.. Lincoln's Grafton at the dedica-
ton of the Gettysburg cemetery was
undoubtedly his masterpiece. A great
crowd stood about the platform in the
presence of the new-made trenches and
graves of the soldiers, patiently listen
ing to the elaborate and highly-pol-
ished Grafton of Edward Everett, who,
faultlessly dressed, with a modulated
voice and graceful action, delivered his
well-rounded periods. 1t was a calm,
thoughtful, statesman-like view of the
situation. Only two or three times did
the hearers manifest any excitement.
1t was a solemn occasion, and all
seemed to be sadly depressed. The
North had, after a bloody battle. driven
the South back to their homes-that
was all; the future was inexplicable
Mr.. Everett, having at last closed, the
next speaker on the programme was
Abraham Lincoln, President of the
United States. As he came forward
his presence never seemed more
peculiar, and his ungainliness of figure,
his slouchiness of dress and his angu-
larity of gesture, as contrasted with
the gracefulness of person, speech and
manner which had distinguished Mr..
Everett, produced for the moment a
feeling of disappointment, and had the
double effect of exciting curiosity and
sharpening anticipation. Tall, un-
calmly. but with every line of his face
expressive of care and grief, the Presi-
dent delivered his short and epigram-
matte sentences in a shrill, piping voice,
at times almost shrieking out out that
grand epic whose sentiments and words
will resound in future ages. As Mr..
Lincoln proceeded, no face ever more I'M
mistakably mirrored aconviction than
did Mr.. Everett's, that by these few
and weighty sentences the memory of
what he said was erased. The oil alton
of Mr. Everett, Astounding in classi-
cal references and faultless in rhetoric,
did not move the hearts of the people
as did the plain. sententious speech of
Mr. Lincoln. When. at the close of
the exercise, Mr. Everett congratu-
lated the President, he remarked
laughingly, but with sense of truth:
s'You have said all on this occasion
that will be remembered by posterity."

EFFECTS Or PRAISE.
1t Either Makes a Good Man Better or n
Bad Man Worse.

1t Either Makes a Good Man Better q
Bad Man Worse.
Praise neither makes man better
nor worse, and praise either makes a
man worse or better. That is a double
paradox, but it has very practical
bearing the conduct of life. Every
action has its own moral quality; and
neither praise nor blame will change
the moral quality of that act from what
it really is. In that sense, no man is
made worse or better by praise. But
man is living and moving being; and
praise of right action to-day may
stimulate him to higher achievement
tomorrow, as praise of a base action
may tempt him to plunge into still
lower depths of infamy. In this sense,
praise makes man worse or better.
The moral is two-fold. Remember that
your own responsibility for every act is
Independent of human praise or blame;
and remember, also, your responsibility
for the moral effect upon others of your
praise Of blame of their deeds.-S. s.
Times.
