THEY SAY.
BY oz1As MIDSUMMER.

The yav of life is dark enough,
It's rugged heights are worn ana rougni
lis tnrhid stream with sullen hoW
Hath much debris, enough of woe,
without they say.
It's ewes have full enough of tears.
lis hearts are burdened now with fears;
It's hopes are trembling in the scales,
Its courage falters, staggers, fails,
without they say"
Its trials scarcely can be borne,
Its best is sadly tattered, torn;
Its brightest is darkened gloom,
Its sweetest is the blight of bloom,
Without they say
Its happv thoughts have much OF dread,
It's comfort other wise instead;
It's eladness brims with dread alloy,
It's sighs have little place for JOY,
Without they say"
It's smiles are full of bitter frowns'
It's budding prospec' s sore with wounds
It's joyful hours al thinly strewn,
It's expectations wither soon,
without they say.
Its disappointments gather fast,
Its doubtings breathe scorching blast,
Its failures mount and higher grow,
Its sadness walls forever, "Oh
Without they say
It's cares are falled with bitter gall,
Its burdens never leave at all;
Its trials como, are ever near,
Its worries never disappear,
Without they say"
NAV We therefore, hence ever do
What We will henceforth never rue,
Eschew they say" thus ever live
TO gladness. Joy and comfort Sive
Without they sny.'

A RUN OF GOOD LUCK.

RUN OF GOOD IUCh.
Only for an instant did the stout heart
of Coe Winters sink within him.
He was possessed Of true American
prit. and moment s reflection decided
him to profit, if possible, by his sad pre-
dicament.
The box was about one-third full OF
old rags and pc ces of cloth, and among
these he began feeling, taking care to
make no noise.
Almost immediately his search was re-
warded by the discovery of what seemed
to be an envelope or wrapper nearly an
inch in thickness.
He was in the act Of tr nsferring this
TO one of his boot legs when thought
struck him.
While at the exposition the preceding
night he had taken quite number OF u Q
circulars of different city firms represent
ed there, his object being to ii n some
of them and try to secure employment.
To his Joy he found that they were still
in his pocket.
It required but q moment for him tG
change these papers for the bonds, thrust
ing the latter into his boot and replacing
the envelope where he had found it.
This done, he turned his attention once
more TO his enemies.

and cooking q revolver.

burglar initiating his example.

The warning was addressed to the un-
known intruder.
