Few realize the heavy burdens which
a Chinaman can carry on a pole swung
on his back. A Chinese gardener yes
terday afternoon set his burden down
on the sidewalk to bargain with a GUS
toner, when three men approached and
attempted TO lift the two baskets Of
vegetables of the ground and carry
them across the street. Neither one Of
the party was able to accomplish the
feat. The Chinaman was the smallest
man Of the crowd, and easily walked off

AROUND TOWN.
IS LIFE WORTH LIVING?

is LIFE WORTH LIVING?
Is life worth living? Yes, so long
AS spring revives the year,
And halls us with the cuckoo's song,
To show that she is here;
So long as May and April takes,
In smiles and tears, farewell,
And windfowers dapple all the brakes
And primroses the dell;
While children in the woodlands yet
AdOrn their little laps
With ladysmock and violet,
And daisy-chain their caps;
While over orchard daffodils
Cloud-shadows float and feet,
And ousel pies and laverock trills,
And young lambs buck and bleet;
So long as that which bursts the bud
And swelsl and tunes the rill
Makes springtime in the maiden's blood,
Life is worth living still.
