PROVERBS FROM POPE.
Illustrations Suitable for Almost All DC
casionS in Life.

Illustrations Suitable for Almost All Oc-
casions in Life.
The following list of proverbial eX-
pressions taken from the writings Of
Pope are interesting:
Every day we are warned, or warn
others, that
A little learning is a dangerous thing.
Every day we experience, either in
our case or that of our neighborS, the
truth Of the saying, that
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
We leave a pleasant party with the
praise that it has proved
The feast of reason and the flow of soul.
We exercise hospitality on the prin-
ciple to
Welcome the coming, speed the parting
guest.
We defend our ambition as
The glorious fault of angels and Of gods.
We excuse our preocupation with So
cial questions with the plea that
The proper study of mankind is man.
We fancy in our satirical moods that
we
Shoot folly as it flies.
Even when IN our literary compost
tiOns we strive
To snatch "a grace beyond the reach of art,
we yet admire the rule of composition
The last and greatest art-to blot.
In our frivolous moods we are
Pleased with rattle tickled with straw.
We fall in love,
And beauty draws us with a single hair.
NeXed at our wives expressing no
preference for one course or another, we
cry,
Most women have no character at all.
Appealed to for mere houSe-money,
we say,
That every woman is at heart a rake.
Yielding, we defend our extravaganza
With
II to her share some female errors fall
Look on her face, and you'll forget 'em all.
How many times have orators quoted
Just as the twig is bent, the trees inclined.
What moralist contemplates the uni
verse without the reelection that it is
Almighty merge but not without plan.
How often have village Hampdens
brought down the house with
An honest mans the nobleSt work OF God.
Or gained applause for the sentiment
that
Worth makes the man, the want Of it the fel.
low.
In fact, there is scarcely an occasion
in life on which Pope does not supply
some more or less appropriate illustra-
ton, some instance of what oft was
thought, but ne'er so well expIeSSd"7

BETTER DAYS A-COMING.

Oh, this world is full OF worry,
Full of trouble, grief and care,
And we often think there isn't any use
In trying to breast the billows,
Surging backward to despair,
Often sink beneath oppression and abuse.
But the sun of righteous judgment
Shines as brightly as of old,
Though the murky clouds of slander fill the
sky;
And, though darkness overwhelm you,
Keep your courage stout and bold,
There are better days a'coming by and BY
Have you toied through light and dark
ness,
Summers heat and winters cold,
Resting not, that your ambition you might
win,
And at last, when almost ready
on your treasure to lay hold,
Been defrauded by the stealthy hand of sin! !
Do not sink beneath reverses,
Keep your heart and purpose true;
Though the sulen cloud of wrong is rolling
high,
1t will one day part asunder,
And the blessed light shine through;
There are better days a-coming by and by.
Then, whatever your condition,
In the checkered field of life
Do you lead the van, or struggle in The rear,
Have courage firm, undaunted,
Qualling not from manly strife,
And a heart that is not chilled by crnging
fear
And it, after all your efforts,
Fortune frowns upon your plans,
Hold your ground and still aloft your colors
fly;
Just beyond the rolling billows
Stretch the yellow, sunlit sands,
There are better days a-coming by and by
