DON'T try to settle the problems of

DoN'T think any amount of wisdom in
the conduct of life will prevent your
feeling respondent at times.
DON'T always be trying to explain.
The majority Of your mistakes are new.

The Old Song.
Sing me the song that was often sung
In the olden time when we were young
The ballad mean with soft refrain.
That told story of JOY and pain,
OF faith restored after doubt and dread,
And a love revived that was reckoned dead
i remember the touch Of minor key
In gliding passage Of melody.
Yes, yes, that is It'll Go on-gc on;
will close mine eyes till the song be done
And fancy long years are only dream.
All, the past the present again doth seem
Shall you sing it once more? you gently say.
Perhaps to morrow, but not to-day,
For the binding tears that freely Cow
The spell Of the old, old song will show.

Uses of Fungi.

The coal mines near Dresden have long
been celebrated for the production of
fungi which emit light resembling pale
moonlight. 1t is phosphorescent in its
nature. Another species furnishes use
full color for dyeing; another is employed
for making ink; another is utilized for
stupefying bees, for stanching blood and
for making tinder; another serves the
Laplanders to destroy hedbugs, for which
purpose it is smeared upon the walls and
bedposts, and another is valued by the
Kamschatkans for manufacturing an in
toxicating liquor.
The ''polyporous squamosus" makes a
razor strap far superior to those COM
monty sold. For this purpose it must be
cut from the ash tree upon which it
grows, in the autumn, when its juices
have been dried and its substance has
become solidifed. 1t is then to be fat
tened out for twenty-four hours in a
press, after which it should be carefully
rubbed with pu1nice, sliced longitudinal
ly, and every slit that is free from dam
age by insects glued upon a wooden
stretcher. In quite ancient times this
fungus was so employed, and 1t seems
strange that it has gone SO entirely out
of acknowledging Star.
