There is superstitious regard for the

but the third time that it is lost it is
gone for good. Twice a man may pass
through some great danger in safety,
but the third time he loses his life.
IF, however, the mystic third can be
successfully passed, all is well. Three

number, and we frequently find its use
symbolical of Diety: thus we might
mention the trident of Neptune, the
three forkeG lightning of Joye. and the
three-headed dog of Pluto. The idea. of
trinity is not confined TO Christianity,
but occurs in several religions.
In mythology, also, we md three

which fertile imagination can conceive

this number is not unknown; and If we

My dear, if had eyes like you.
And cheeks so soft and white and clear,
And if such grace were mine, 1 knew,
L think that L should hold my beauty
I think that should give sweet thanks
to God
For all the loveliness that was mine
And try to make each smile or glance or
Each careless word, each lightsome
pleasant tone,
A power for good, to Danish dreary pain,
And bring glad smiles to dropping lips
again.
If had arms so plump and white
So dainty dimpled and so good TO see,
1 know 'twould give great pleasure
And I Should try to lift the heavy loads
And bear the burdens of the heal S that
So sadly trddging over lffe's sweet roads
And dream of naught but misery and
woe;
And 1 should strive to always be as gay
AS though life's outlook viewed but
cloudlesS day.
For in this pleasant singing earth,
That laughs in answer to Gods smile,
There's nothing gives such ceaseless,
To joy. nor has such power sad
thoughts to vile.
AS the sweet sight of lovely woInanhood,
The wondrous beauty which uncon-
SciouS lies
Half hid it may be, but aIl-thrilled for
Meath the soft shadows of maiden's
And When When this charm is found cts
1t seems to bring Gods love and hea-
ven near.
