Feel all out of killer, do you?
Nothing goes to suit you, quite?
skies seem sort of dark and clouded.
Though the day is fair and br1y ht?
Eyes affected, fail to notice
Beauty spread on every hand?
Hearing so impaired you re missing
Songs of promise, sweet and grand?
No, your case is not uncommon.-
L is popular distress;
Enough it's not at all contagious,
Thousands have it, more or less:
But 1t yields to simple treatment,
And Is easy, quite, to cure:
Ii you follow my directions,
Convalescence, quick, is sure.
Take bit of cheerful thinking,
Add portion of content,
AND with both let glad endeavor,
Mixed with earnestness, be blent
THESE, with care and skill compounded.
Will produce a magic oil
That is bound to cure, If taken
With lot Of honest toll.
Ii your heart is dull and heavy,
Ii your hope is pale with doubt,
Try this wondrous Oil OF Promise,
For twill drive the evil out.
Who will mix it? Not the druggist
From the bottles on his shelf;
The ingredients required
You must find within yourself.

Books Are Insurance Policies.


Books are insurance policies, fully
paid, and can be cashed at any time.
They insure against loneliness, for in
moment we can in our minds eve,
call in the most delightful company of
all the ages. We can revel in the
drollery of Sam Weller, or laugh at
Mr.. Pickwick; hear Tom Sawyer re-
count his liveliest exploits, or smile
indulgently at garrulous Diedrich
Knickerbocker. If in tender mood
we may roam with gentle grieving
Evangeline in search of her lost lover,
or let our hearts stir in sympathy with
little Nell. If life seems tame and
commonplace, ones bookshelf has the
policy that provides for the emer-
geDcy. With Homer we may follow
the deeds of the mighty ancient war
riors. We may fee to a lonely isle
with ever handy Robinson Crusoe,
sail under seas with Captain Memo,
share the romantic savagery of Hia-
watha or the last of the Mohicans, or
unravel mysteries with Sherlock
Holmes. If friends disappoint us, we
may turn to those that are ever con-
slant in the pages that have grown
dear to I'd, or we may reassure our
doubts of human faithfulness by read
ing about Damon and Pythias, or PEN
elope. Insurance against discourage
ment is found in the life of George
Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Fred
Douglass, or Booker T. Washington.
any of whom conquered more than
can possibly confront us. If we are
listless and Indifferent, we have but
to open book of the history of the
deeds of olden heroes. If we feel the
Tightening coils of selfishness stran-
Cling our good impulses, we may read
of those who have given their labor
and their lives to help their fellow
creatures, and 80 shame ourselves to
higher thinking and more unseifish
doing.-Success
