Stand to Your Work.

Stand to your work as a man who loves labor.
Come, fear not to toll with a vigorous arm;
Heed not the sneers of an eye serving neighbor
Or coward skulk's hate, which can never do
harm.
Man is but man when he glories in duty;
Work is the heritage given tS.all
High is the soul in its measure of beauty
When proudly it answers to labor's roll call
What though your labor is granite stone break
ing,
Turning or fitting or welding the spade;
Add to your laurels of manhood by making
An honest days work as the soul of your trade,
Say! are they heroes in life's rugged battle
Who will not with fervOr their day weapons
wield2
Behold them! They stand as poor somnolent
cattle
That crouch in the shade of the sun lighted
field.

There Is no death! The stars go down
TO rise upon some earthly shore,
And bright In heavens iewcled crown
They shine foreNcrmorc.
There Is no death! The dust we tread
shall change beneath the summer shower
To golden grain, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry moss they beari
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air
There is no death. The leaves may fall;
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait, through wintry hours,
The coming of the May
There is no death! An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best loved things away
And then we call them dead
He leaves our hearts all desoate--
lie plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The birdlike voice whose joyous tones
Made glad this scene of sin and strife
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the tree of life.
And where he sees Il smile too bright
Or hearts too pure for faint and vice
He bears It to that world of light
To dwell in paradise
Born into that undying life
They leave us but to come again;
With JOY we welcome them-the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near US. though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread,
For all the boundless universe
Is lfe-there is no dead.

But my boy came and To my face pressed ilght
His own sweet cheek, pretending with delight
He would read too And l. too cross for play
Puslred him asde-said he was in my way
And dared, alas' to send him from my sight

They had no parting in the wood"
No meetings in the hawthorn lane;"
"Bcside the sea" they never stood
Nor watched the sunset after rain
Their pathway was the busy street,
Their trysting place the office stairs
Yet well know joy more complete
Did never visit mortal pair.
And why should rustic love alone
BE decked with all poetic art?
These dull, gray city walks have known
The beating of nations heart.
The weary workers come and go;
The secret of each soul is dumb:
Yet still at times radiant glow
Across their wayworn lives may come,
And these, my happy lovers, knew
Hard toll, small wage, and scanty fare;
The skies they saw were never blue,
But love made gladness everywhere.
His step upon the office floor
Was sweet to her as thrush's song;
Her face that passed the open door
For him made sunshine all day long.

round by another path that leads to
the place for which he Is aiming he
will find that tn, Kehua Is on the
new path before him. The one way
to avoid disaster is to turn back and
go home, or at least, to the place last
left. A chief, described rs Every In
telligcnt," assured Mr.. Tregear, who
has lately been investigating Maori
superstitions, that he saw the spirits
OF two Of his uncles on each occasion
before they died. His father, mother,
brothers or sisters he did not see and It
is not stated why he supposed that his
uncles specially desired to visit him
in this fashion. The explanation Of
this and the rest probably is that the
Maoris are a remarkably superstitious
and imaginative people, who can make
ghosts out of nothing - or nothing
more substantial than dreams - as
easily as an old Scotch wife of the last
century.

RANG THEM IN.
ow the Texan Manager Gathered In
His Audience.

His Audience.
Before theaters were built in Texas
companies going there would play In
the school houses. A manager on his
arrival in town was insured by the in
habitants whom he met that he would
have big crowd to the show that
night"
The countenance of the hopeful
manager beamed with delight upon
the school house after supper, for
there he found such n large crowd
standing ut the door that he became
almost delirious with the visions of
the ponderous bags Of silver he would
carry from that town. lie felt rs II
he walked on air rs he pushed his
way through the crowd, opened wide
the school HOUSE. doors and told the
janitor to light the lamps. The lamps
were soon lighted, the ticket box
open, and the managers smile reached
greater distance than he ever
dreamed his mouth would stretch.
His heart beat faster than for weeks
before.
Moment by moment, however, the
smile contracted, the bounding heart
became more tranquil, for the doorss
had now been open and the lamp
lighted for twenty minutes and still
the crowd. which had now acquired
immense proportions, rcmained out
side. Not a soul had entered. In
desperation the manager dem anded
of the janitor, "Why in thunder don't
they come in?"
"oh," the janitor explained, they
won't come in till you ring the bell"
The manager sprang on to the step
ladder, and with an energy which
would do credit to ''Curfew Shall Not
Ring Tonight" pulled that bell-rope
until everybody in town could hear
the bell ring.
The audience all rushed in and
almost pulled hair for seats. The
next morning this manager took away
not only his large bag of silver, but
with it lesson in ringing in a Texas
audience.
