ASPIRATION.

The nightingale sat on Dough
And smoothed a shining wing.
who taught you"-scoffed the terrapin-
who taught you how to sing"
The nightingale blushed fiery red,
She had not been to SCHOOL,
She unused on what the tortoise said,
And sighed, TWAS not by rule"
A rabbit skirted down the path,
A-dancing in the sun.
"Who taught you"-scofied the terrapin -
who taught you how to run?"
The rabbit blushed fiery red,
He had not had master,
He flung his heels against his head,
And tried to run the faster.
The nightingale, she cracked her voice
Learning to sing by rule,
The rabbit broke his forward leg
In gymnasium school.
The terrapin, who could not sing,
Who could not follow after.
She sat beside her native spring
And shook her sides with laughter.

A SENSATION.
A Nine Days Wonder I'm a
small Town.
Facts and Details From Our Own Cor
respondent.
Surprised Many But Does Not Sur
prise Us.

Mansfield, Ohio, is not large place, but it
has certainly experienced a great sensation.
The people are not done talking about it
vet, and indeed it will furnish the subject for
conversation for a long time to come, as well
food for thought
Our CORES pondent, G. @. Coulter who is
prominent and influential citizen of Mansfield
and agent of the Rockford (Ill.) Silver Plate
Co., has furnished with the facts and de-
tails, which we are positive will prove most
interesting to readers.
II have a brother, Harry E. Coulter, 81 years
of age,'' writes Mr.. Coulter, f'who had never
done days work in his life; never ran ten
rods in his life-indeed could not even walk
fast.
s'Heart disease his trouble. Last fall he
got the Grip and went down, down, down.
1.-TWO of our best physicians treated him.
ellis tongue was coated badly, had back
ache, urine high colored, brick dust sediment

''His stomach almost as hard as a board,
in fact, we gave up all hopes of his life.
''He quit the doctors and commenced using
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve RENE
dy, and nothing else, and the third day was
better. He is now better than he ever was in
his life, and do violent exercise and
not suffer in the least.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

The surest way not to fail is to be
determined to succeed.
A great name without merit is like
an epitaph on coffin.
Grace is the beauty of form under
the influence of freedom.
Be like the tree which covers with
flowers the hand that shakes it.
Convictions that remain silent are
neither sincere nor profound.
Hearken to theswarning of consci
ence, if you would not feel it's wounds.
We confess small faults in order to
insinuate that We have no great ones.
Pride is incre Used by ignorance;
those assume the most who know the
least.
Leisure is a very pleasant garment
to look at, but it is a very bad one to
wear.
Cultivate presence of mind, for it
often forms the round of security in
the ladder Of life.
In misinterpreting another's mo-
tive you sometimes reveal the bent of
your own mind.
Repentance is not SO much remorse
for what we have done, as the fear Of
consequences.
Some people never find out that an
opportunity is an opportunity until it
has turned the next corner.
Don't forget that your children will
pay more attention to your tracks
than they will to your precepts.
People who want to do good never
have to stand on the street corner
waiting for an opportunity.
There is way in which the post
age stamp has the advantage of the
small boy 1t can never be licked but
once

Our Only Day.
Were this our only day,

Were this only day,
Did not our yesterdays and morrows give
To hope and memory their interplay,
How should we bear to live?
Not merely what are we,
But what we were and what we are to be,
Make up our life-the far days each a star,
The near days ne5ula.
At once would love forget
Its keen pursuits and coy delays of bliss,
And its delicious pangs of fond regret
Were there no day but this.
And who, to win a friend,
Would to the secrets of his heart invite
A fellowship that should begin and end
Between a night and night?
Who, too, would pause to pirate
OF insult, or remember slight or scorn,
Who would this night lie down with hate,
We're there to be no morn?
Who would take heed to wrong,
To misery's complaint or PHYS call,
The long wall of the weak against the strong,
If this one day were all?
And what were wealth with shame,
The vanity of Office, pride caste,
The very sparkle of the bubble fame,
If this day were the last?
Ay, what were all days worth,
Were there no looking backward or before
If every human life that drops to earth
Were lost forevermore?
But each day is link
OF days that pass and never pass away:
For memory and hope-to live, to think
Each day is our only day.

MATCHES AND PINS.

Matches and pins being among the
most common things in daily use, it is
seldom that any thought is bestowed
upon them. Matches that are ignited
by fiction were first made in 1929, be-
fore which time they were made to
catch fire from a spark struck from
flint or steel-a very announcement
method. 1t is hard to say how many
millions of matches are made in a
day, but when the number of people
that use them is reckoned, the total
sum is appalling. Probably in the city
of New York alone over twenty mil
lion matches are used every twenty
tie things that nobody ever seems to
think of them. From an ordinary
three-inch plank 1000 matches may
be made, yet even at that rate the
number used in the match business
attains enormous proportions.
Pins are mentioned as far back as
1888, but not until the beginning of
this century were they manufactured
by machinery. The old way of max
ing each pin by hand must have been
very tedious, and it is not likely that
people were so careless with them
then, as they were much more expen-
sive than now. 1t has often been
wondered what becomes of the pins
that are lost, but it is hard to say
There are fourteen distinct operations
in making pin, and lots of trouble
attached to the process. Pins are
made of brass, and then timed and
blanched, and millions of them are
manufactured daily. AS pin can be
used more than once, the number used
does not equal that of matches, but
still miles upon miles Of wire are used
annually in their manufacture. Like
matches they are little things, and
not thought much Of; but when you
need a pin or a match, and there is
none to be found, then you realize
what an important part they play in
daily life.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine. Learn how to
tell story. A well-told story is as
welcome as sunbeam in a sick-room.
Learn to keep your own troubles to
yourself. The world is too busy to
care for your ills and sorrow. Learn
to stop croaking. If you cannot see
any good in the world, keep the bad
to yourself. Learn to hide your pains
and aches under pleasant smile. No
body cares to hear whether Won have
the earache, headache, or rheumatism.
Don't cry. Tears do well enough in
novels and on the stage, but are out
of place in real life. Learn to meet
your friends with smile. The good
humored man or woman is always
welcome, but the dyspeptic or hypo-
chondriac is not wanted anywhere,
and it is a nuisance as well.
