AN eccentric divine once said to his
audiences: "My hearers, there is
great deal of ordinary work to be
done in this, world; and, thank the
Lord, there are great many ordinary
people TO do it." But while looking
for ordinary men it is best TO keep
your own counsel.

Young people of both sexes should
early be taught the use of money, and
TO rightly know its value they should
be given ways OF earning it, to spend.

facilities besides bonus to encourage
its construction. We hope her citizens

HOME FROM SCHOOL.

The frost OF age was on his locks
That rivoled once the ravens wing,
The voice, in youth so clear and strong,
Through Oge and pain had lost Its ring;
The brilliance Of his LIES long day
Was fading fast to twilight gray.
Beside his couch In patience sat
His bride Of many summers past,
And down her bloomless, withered chcoks,
The silent tears were falling fast
When turning moekly on his bed,
He grasped her hand aud feebly said:
Are the boys homo from schoolf"
Shegently pressed the withered hand
That through the years had been her guide,
AS ut his words she saw again
Her children gathered at her side;
She saw each childish happy face;
Once moro sho folt their warm embrace.
She saw the havoc Of the years
Each one had left q vacant chair-
And then again the falling tears
Beloved the old nuns silvery hair,
AS bonding Ger him with sigh
In tonder voice she made reply:
y The boys are home from school,"
