THE ROSE AND THE FERN.

LADY. iife'a sweetest lesson would'st thou learn,
Come thou with me to love'e enchanted bower;
High overhead the trellised roses burn,
Beneath thy feet behold the feathery fern
A leaf without flower,
What though the rose leaves failG They atlll are
sweet
And have been lovely In their beauteous prime
While the bare frond seems ever TO repeat,
For uz no bud no blossom, wakes TO greet
The joyous towering timer
Heed thou the lesson Life has leaves to tread
And flowers to chersh summer round them

Walt not TIL aitumn's fading robes are shed,
But while its petals still are burning red
Gather life's full blown rose

The fact that the will of the late Sir

property to the amount of 81, $50, 900, has
created much talk of late. 1t is beyond

physicians have doubled their fees, and
since both branches of the profession are
constantly in receipt OF very large sums

members of the healing art have very

The common notion of the French
peasant as a narrow minded, penurious
and not too moral person receives nc
support from Mr. Frederic Harrison
whose personal study of French rural
life has nevertheless been very consider
able. The indomitable endurance of the
French race has, he reminds us, enabled
France to surmount crushing disasters
losses and disappointments under which
another race would have sunk. She
bears with ease national debt, the an
nual charge of which is more than dou
bic that of wealthy England, and taxa
ton nearly double that of England. with
almost the same population-ap permanent
taxation that exceeds 100 francs pei
head, and is greater than has ever before
been borne by any other people. She
lost over one war sum not much short
of the whole national debt of England.
and she has written off without muir
