1T rs BETTER TO LIVE.

l have sometimes felt that the burden
o. life was too heavy to hear;
And have longed to lie down at the noon
tide,
And rest and forget all my care;
But over my heart comes message,
Repeated again and again
at is better to live and to suffer,
Than to die to be rid of the pain"
There is rest in the darkness of dying
And an end to the weary despair.
The grave holds sure peace and calm 81.
lence,
No sorrow nor pain can be there;
But perhaps, in the struggle of living,
Is a soul that has need of my care
Some heart may be bearing u burden
That my hand may lighted, or share.
'Twould be easy to say 81 am weary"
Aud lie down and give up the strife,
To suffer no more with the heartache
Aud sorrow meet in this life;
But perhaps from my sorrow.swept heart
strings
A melody sweet may be wrung,
Aud my lips, VIXEN they drank deep of suf.
fcrirg,
The tenderest songs may have sung,
IT'S so hard to be patient with living,
When all of the world is awry;
So wearisome waiting for pleasures
That will only come after we die;
But even through allmy complaining
/ can hear that uudyng refrain
"Itis better to live and to suffer-
Than to die to be out of the pain"
will live and be strong, and viii suffer,
If need be, until | find rest
When life and its trials are over;
though never my life should be best
Though always the sun should be darkencd
BY the clouds that hang over my way,
will trust that the light will be clearer
When at last wake sin the day"

Mass, where it is prepared, there is
more of Hoods Sarsaparilla sold than
of all other medicines, and it has
given the best of satisfaction since its
introduction ten years ago. This

A Whisper to the Girls.

"Be very careful in your conduct
towards young men you meet. | will
take it for granted that you are pref.
~, and, perhaps little gay and
thOughlless as well. If have pictur-
ed you correctly, remember that to
be thOughtleSS cOunteractS being pref
ty. You know the proverb-"As
jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is
a fair woman without discretion
And no modern pr0verb vendor or
member ever said truer thing. Do
he discreet; do not think that young
men are only delightful people in the
world, or act as if you thought 50.
Keep them at proper distance; no
man likes or respects Il girl who runs
after him, deferS to his opinion, let
him say rude things to her, and take
little liberties of speech or action.
Again, don't go out driving, or walk
ing or sailing alone with any young
man. Perhaps you will tell me tina
all girls do it. Not well-bred girls,
my dear; if you have no real cham
peron; take another girl with you.
Half the tragedies Of women begin in
their carelessness about this very
thing. And over all do be most par
ticular about the young men with
whom you associate. Avoid fast
men as you would lepers. Men VINO
are dissipated are inherently low; no
matter how rich, how handsome, how
highly placed in society, such men
are no associates for pure young
girl. You do not know anything
about their real lives and characters,
and they know you do not; they take
advantage Of your natural and lovely
innocence, and admire it; though
they know themselves they are not
fit to touch the hem of your dress
even. must say something about
your clothes. Don't be too fine; sim
plicity and equisite fresh neatness are
more attractive in girls costume
than any extravaganza Of fashsOn OF
costliness of material; but even the
plaineSt dress may be made Haunting
by its immodest style. Again, he
just as careful with what young wo
men you are friendly with as l would
have you be about young men. A
girl is always judged by her friends
keep civilly aloof from the fast, the
slangy, the giggling girls you will toe
surely meet. Choose your company
more carefully than your dress, fol
your friends are the true index O
your moral and mental status. Moth
ing can ever retrive the mistake you
make now in these respect; you ART
now making history'-the history o
your life. God never made among
all the equisite things of creation, ,
more lovely, enchanting, equisite
admirable creature than a fresh, pure
charming, young girl, full of unself
ish thought Of others, gentle, gracious
and spotless. Not the milk-whitC

Secrets Of Africa.

illustrated American. q Isl fsss3
A feature of the British ent erprise
in East Africa is the secrecy with
which the operations of the British
Imperial East African G ompany are
conducted. In w hitaker, which is
supposed to give all officialinforma-
ton on all public matters, the words
Nc information accessible" appear
opp osite the entry referring to this
corporation. AS the company con
ducts it's opera ions under a char
acter granted by the Queen, this
secrecy excites criticism, but little
can be done. If Parliament should
make a fuss about it the only result
would be that the ministry would
have to resign because the sovereign
can do no wrong, and if any wrong
is done it is the FAULT of the ministers.
In view of the perils to which mil
lions Of the natives of Africa are sub
jected by the advance of civilization,
in the shape of the British trader, it
is thought that sufficient publicity
ought to be given to the affairs OF
the company to insure the protec-
tion Of the natives against outrages
Of the grossest kind. tits recalled
in connection with this matter that
in no case, except, perhaps, one,
have the doings Of any SBritish col
onial company been sufficiently
known to permit adequate public
discussion Of them. official secrecy
has stifed the means of the native
possessors of the soil. Very little is
known OF what is going; on in the
Congo State, except to the officers
OF the company, the .emplo of the
company being bound over to ST.
lence in penalties.
