Hanover College, during ffs trip thfoMgN
the East this summer made a point Of
looking up everything that he could find
which was of historical interest. Among
other places he visited the graveyard Of
the old South Church, in Boston, and
while there found an old and battered
tombstone with the following legend:
Here lyes ye Bodyc of Mary Goose,
Wife to Isaac Goose.
Died 1890.
Immediately the thought came to the
Professor that this might be the tomb of
the original Mother Goose, and his sub
sequent Investigations have proved it to
be true. Strange, indeed, does it seem
that Bostonians could have allowed tc
fall into oblivion almost the very resting
place of their first poetcss, the author of
"Mother Goose Melodies"

Sugar weter is a sweet fluid OBJ
tanned from tho maple. Some
have taste for it, while Others
do rot like it, yet everyone appre-
ciates the sugar manufactured from
it, since it can be used with "eatable
viands," to make fair dish.
Yet it cannot be had at all
times. Like the wheat and fruit of
O. chards it has its seasons, 1t de-
pends when people seek it whether
they shall get any or not.
Suppose a company so to seek this
water in early spring. They soon au-
ger several cavities in tree, and
obtain it by the quart ON account of
seeking at good time. They are
sue cessful on account Of searching
in the season that tho fluid can be
found.
They that seek me early shall fiud
me-" saith God. BY this there are
times to seek God. The early and
.rnest seeker finds. The Bible
teaches "Seek We the Lord while he
may be found; call ye upon him while
lie is near"
Suppose another company not know
ing maple season 60 and seek this
water with which to MAKE sugar, in
the sutumn. They open the tree by
:ugur and gimblet, but fail TO get
what they are seeking Why be-
cause the are seekers out of season
too late - Such may be co1a-
pared to the five foolish virgins, who
had lamps but no oil in them, when

while III the meantime the bride.
groom came and withdrew within,
taking with him the five wise virgins
and shut the door. Yet the five un
wise returned and knocked, but were
told BY the Lord that be did not
know them. They sought him to
late, and were unprepared for his
summons. Such a.e the kind of
people that waste their chances,
seeking to late.
However there is wide difference
between the water of Life" and su-
gar water. The one is from the
Lord. The other from a tree. The
one nourishes the soul effectually; the
other is about as palatable as any
well, spring or drinking water.
Christ said to a woman who gave
him water from a public well, that
they that drink of the water he gives
will never thirst. He is holy bread
or living water from heaven for souls.
Why should any turn away or
seek out of season the valuable, in
comparable water from Christ. Seek
it during the spring growth and
blossoms of privileges. Don't re-
fuse and spurn until the autumn OF
life and chances, since then tho bios
