quite anxious to know why two such

a DAYS LESSON.

Bend to the breeze. 'Tis the lesson the grasses
Teach rs each day In their lowly estate.
Better to bend meath the storm as it passes
Than to be broken by pitiless fate.
Bend but little, the cloud will pass over;
Then in the lull you can lift up your head.
Straighten yourselves like the grass and the
clover;
Better be bruised and be living than dead.
"Stand like rocki'' That may do for hero
Covered with mail and well used to his lance,
But there are mortals, too many. as we know,
Weakened by failure. coerced by glance.
'.Never give up" 1t is easy to say it
When all your weapons in order are found.
Courage grows fast when we need not dis
play 1t;
ALI can be brave when the lions are bound.
Nothing succeeds like success" that is GER
tain,
True as the gospel in these latter days.
Put out the footlights and ring down the cur
tain
If you have nothing that people must praise.
Bend to the breeze. 'Tis the lesson the grasses
Teach us today; tits a lesson of love;
Bend till the storm of adversely passes
And the glad sunshine is once more above.
