TUNEFUL LAYS.



Oft when with much labor we're weary,
When hard seems the tolls of the day,
When our lives are scddened and dreary.
With hardsh.ps we meet by the way,
When with many duties that wait MS,
We scarcely know where to begin,
There's lower in n word kindly spoken;
Twill help US the battle to win.
When home seems dull and contracted
Its inmates gloomy and grim,
When we look in vain for some prospect
To give Us courage and vim,
When we would ike 10 work wonders,
And find our toll comes to naught,
Then, by the word OF praise given,
How often the wonder is wrought
II some one cares for and loves us,
Toll loses its bur 4en and sting,
And only the world-weary WORKER
Knows the help a kind word c:sn bring
The why, who can tell. bat the pathway,
That seemed so dark AMI beset,
When chsered by praise ana affection,
Was never impossible yet.

How the Wits Have Writ ON Good Quee
Vic's Paper Currency.

How the wits Have Writ ON Good Queen
Vic's Paper Currency.
The practice of scrihbling moral re-
Elections, often from an immoral point of
view, on the back of bank notes seems to
be dying out, says the s.. JaBles' Gazette.
Certainly the bank-note rhymster is less
in evidence on English paper money than
he used to be, because bank notes circu-
late more than formerly, Or perhaps be-
Gauss they are nowadays renewed at
such short intervals. The Scotch bank
note being of smaller value and circulate
ing for a longer time, passes through the
hands of more needy persons and soon
becomes so grimy that the term ''filthy
lucre" applied to it has an added signifi-
canoe.
In Lockhart's "Life of Scott" there is a
reference to banS-note literature. Lady
Louisa Scott had sent to thu novelist an
original verse that was found on the back
of bank note o: Lady Douglas. 1t is
chiefly notable as a rare instance Of the
bank-note rhymster's parting with his
money in a Christian spirit. '.Go, poor
devil, get the gone." is the kind of part
ing salutation most in favor, but the note
that fell into Lady Douglas hands
said:
Farewell, my notes. and whereso'e er We wend
Shun the gaudy scenes and be the poor mans
friend.
You've left apoor one; go to one as poor
And drive despair and hunger from his door.
These lines recalled to Scott's recollection
the murder of Begbie, bank porter, be-
cause it was thought the note stolen at
that time might be traced through an
"idle young fellow" to quote Scott's re-
ply to Lady Louisa Scott, "having writ
ten part OF a play house song on one of
them" Many of them were dis covered,
but accidentally, and this one was among
the number. In fiction, of course, detect
ives have followed up the same clew more
successfully.
Though the backs of some bank notet
are more interesting than a book, ant
even rise to the dignity of tragedy, there
are certain stereotyped phrases which oc-
cur so frequently on them that they are
familiar to every body. Such are: "Here
to-day and gone to- morrow" 1.-THE best
of friends must part" and a very com
mon adaptation of a well-known couplet:
1t comes as a boon and blessing to men,
Like the Pickwick, the Owl and the Waverly
Pen.
AS tag, suggested by this, has been
noticed:
They come as a boon-this is perfectly true;
A business gentleman in Edinburgh
through whose hands a large number OF
Scotch notes pass, took a copy of the fol-
lowing:
o Lord OF love. send from above
A sword with two sharp edges,
To cut the throats of wicked men
Who grudge poor clerks their wages.
Beneath that was inscribed, in another
hand:
Why call on God for such a blade
Because your wage is small!
Or why assume your pay is grudged
Withouten proof at all?
Rather give thanks with fervent heart
Unto the Lord of Heaven,
Who weekly send this pound note
When much less might be given.
It would be interesting to know whe thel
he was himself a ''poor clerk" who wrote
these additional lines, or only an employer
of clerks. The following also passed

Whisky and Secession.

A few years ago read IN account in the
Christian Niorh'er. a religious paper pub
lishcd in Chicago. of twelve men meeting in
one of the Southern cities in 1860 and dis
cussing the question of secession, and only
one. ii 1 remember correctly, pressed it's
necessity. They went to the bar-room and
their parlor the discussion was continued,
when soon two or three more Of their num-
Der took sides in favor of secession. In the
course Of the evening the bar-room was
taking another social glass. and on return
ing the discussion became more earnest and
animated. until they were all united in the
opinion that each should return to his State
public sentiment in favor of withdrawing
from the Union and establishing govern
ment of their own; and they being promt-
nent men, the result was obtained.
Liquor destroys sober judgment. and in
this case theirs was destroyed and we know
the result.-Erchange.

Mass, who enlisted in the late war when
nine Gears and twenty days old, is said
to have been the youngest soldier Of the
whole army. He often walked twenty

the taps at night. His father was a
lieutenant in the same company, and
accompanied him on his rounds at night
to keep him from falling asleep.

Dy naDltual "nipping." is far more injurious

OF drunkenness followed by intervals OF
s strlct sobrlety. 1t equally accounts for the
1act that the liver is not alone the first organ
OF the body that becomes affected but is at
the same time the one most seriously dis
ordered by moderate drinking. That in
temperance is a fruitful source of Bright's
disease has long been known. and the
reason OF this is not far to seek. seeing that
II Is the special duty of the kidneys to elm
mate alcohol from the general circulation
as they do all other foreign materials. And
the more work that is thrown upon an
organ, the more prone are it's tissues to be-
come degenerated. Besides all this, how
ever, there is Il special reason why the kid
neys should become diseased in so-called
moderate drinking, and that is on account
OF the circulation being necessarily in
creased in them, as it is elsewhere. from the
accelerated hearts action. induced by the
repeated inhibition of stimulants in small
quantities. The hearts action is increased,
the pulse is quickened, ain excess of blood
is forced into the vessels. and from their be-
coming engorged and diTated the face gets
flushed and the retinu congested-all the
usual concomitants of a general engorge-
ment OF the circulation being the result.
