THE GLORIOUS BEYOND.

Why are The things 1 have so mean,
Compared with those / can not get?
Why may never sit serene.
Why must ever plan and fret?
Why are the various worldly sights
That lie before me every day
Inferior to mountain heights
Ard ionbs and castles far awayg
Why are the things long 10 do
The ones from which / must refrain?
Why is the path I'd fain pursue
The winding one that leads to pains
Why is the maiden that ne'er
May hope to press unto my breast
The very fairest of the fair,
Aud lovelier than all the rest?
The richest mines are far away,
And sweet eontentment's on ahead;
Zen now hear the preacher say
Ican't be happy till I'm dead.
All. yesl But when my spirit hies
To heaven, shall be happy there
Or will there be beyond theskies
Still some more glories Otherwhere?

Some Lucky Fridays.

Friday is, by great many people in
America, regarded as an unlueky day.
The Spanish, however, look on itwith
very different feelings; Columbus sailed
from Palos On Friday, August 3, 1892;
the discovery of the New World was
made on Friday, October II, 1892, and
many of Spain's noted victories in war
have been achieved on this day OF ill
omen.
Columbus started on Friday, the
fourth of January, 14sS, on his return
journey toSpaiu, to announce TO Fer
diEand and Isabella the glorious result
Of the expedition, and on the 18th of
March, in the same year, also a Friday,
be disembarked in Andulasia. He
gained his first view of the American
continent on Friday, the thirteenth
day of June, l49S.
Americans might with good cause
regard the day as one CT good luck in
stead of bad, for many stirring and
happy events in our history occurred
on that day. Oa Friday, November
10, 1920, the Mayfiower first disem-
barked few emigrants on American
soil at ProyincetOwn, aud on Friday,
December -, 1920, her passengers
finally landed at Plymouth Rock
On Friday, March 5, l497, Henry
VII, Of England gave to John Cabot
his dispatch for the voyage that result
ed in the discovery of the continent Of
North America George Washington
was born on Friday, February -, 1882;
the union of the colonies was made on
Friday, May 20, l775.
The battle of Bunker Hill was fought
on Friday, June II, l775, and the sur
render at Saratoga took place on Fri
day, October II, 1777, which event re-
suited in Frances acknowledging US as
a nation, and offering Us material aid
aud encouragement. On Friday was
the treason of Arnold.
Another ever memorable Friday is that
Of October 10, l7sl, on which took
place the surrender Of Yorktown, and
on Friday, June I, 1875, Richard Henry
Lee read the Declaration of Iudepend-
ence to the Continental Congress.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

The average walking pace of healthy
man or woman is said to be IS steps u

1t is said that the patterns on the
finger tips are not only Interchangeable
through life, but the chance of the fin
ger prints of two persons being alike
is less than one chance in siXty-four
billions.
Among the animals which surpass
man in the ratio of brain weight to body
weight are the following: Among the

The bottom of the Pacific between
Hawaii and California is said to be so

view of laying cable.
Important papers, maps, charts and
good engravings can be successfully
preserved by brushing very thin coat
ing of India rubber solution over their
surface. This is perfectly transparent
and if an important document is var
nisheI with it on both sides it will be
protected for an indefinite period
against the effects of damp, whilst the
writing will remain clear and unfaded.

SEVEN THOUGHTS.

More flies are caught with honey than
vinegar.
If you would not be known to do a
thing, never do it.
1t may be said that yesterday sug-
gests, tomorrow promises, but to-day
accomplishes.
1t is difficult to say who does the most
mischief, enemies with the worst in
tentions or friends with the best.
There IS n great struggle between
vanity and patience when we have to
meet person who admires Us but who
bores us.
Beware of prejudices. A mans mind
is like rat trap; prejudices creep ip
easily, but it is doubtful If they.ever get
out again.
a good and wise man may at times be
angry with the world, and also grieved
at it; but no man can ever be long dis
contented with the world if he does his
duty in it.-N. Y. Weekly.
