Things 20 Forget.

Your neighbor's faults.
All the Islander you have ever heard
The numerous times you have told a
servant how to do things, and the numer-
Gus times she has forgotten. Try again,
and perhaps she will remember.
The date of your neighbours new dress,
so that she will not believe, when for some
special reason she has to wear it long
time, that you remember it from season to
season.
Forget the faults of some Of your
friends, and remember their temptations.
Forget the fault-fnding. and give little
thought to the cause which provoked it.
Forget the peculiarities of your friend,
and only remember the good points that
make you fond of her.
Forget any personal quarres, or histo-
ries which you may have heard by acct
dent, and which, if repeated, would seem
a thousand times worse than they are.
Forget that somebody's hair is ugly; re-
member only how soft and beautiful are
her eyes.
Blot out as far as possible, all the dis
agreeables of life-they will come, but
they only grow larger when you remember
them. and the constant thoughts of acts of
meanness, or, worse still, malice, will only
tend to make you more familiar with them
and to almost grow tolerant OF them.
Oblterate everything disagreeabe from

OUR POETS.
Powerful Words and Noble
Thoughts,
How Closely Aro They Related
to Our Daily Lives.
What One of Our Foremost La
dies Think About 1t.

Henry w. Longfellow has said in one of
his most popular poems that 'All things
come round to him who will but wait.
How true it certainly is that if we have
but the patience to wait and struggle for
that which we so much desire, the prize
will surely be ours 1t is not enough, how
ever to sit quietly down and remain in
ert, but if we would accomplish great re-
suits, we must possess untiring persever-
ance.
At least one person appreciates the full
significance of the great mans words.
Miss S. Cohen of 5j4 South Sixth street,
Camden, n J has for months been wait
ing, longing and striving to regain that
health without which life is at best but a
dreary existence.
She has been constantly treating with
different remedies and physicians but never
once lost courage, for she had made up
her mind that there was a remedy which
would cure her and was deter mined to
find it, She succeeded so well and is so
filled with gratitude and thankfulness that
she wishes the whole world could know of
her wonderful cure.
The following is letter written by her
for the public benefit:

MISCELLANY,


Sing till the glad world wake again,
The sweet, glad world of long ago,
Where sunbeams slid athwart the rain
Aud wild winds set the seas agl1W;
Sing the old songs that held the ways
Enraptured in the vanished days.
Sing. so pprchance the swans may glide
Ger their white shadows, as of yore,
And far along the brown hillside
The purple heather glow once more
Sing, for the heaven is dim and strange,
And all the earth hath suffered change.
Alas, no song hath now the art
From out the dead past to recall
The Joy of ear and eye aud heart
That made our lost worlds coronal.
The sweetest song man ever sung
Hath not the power to make us young.
