It cannot be. Or If indeed. tbs so,
Then I'm fool and cannot comprehend
The meaning of so deep a work. what

Have to cover what I cannoL know
With some strange cloak OF pretence
called God?
Why not be honest with myself and all,
And saygI've found the ending Of the way,
But all is dark? Yes! speak the truth!
For truth is better than a fancied lie
That bids one hope for what he cannot
get.
Plato did reason well, and Cato. coming
on,
Took up the deep, mysterious thought,
but failed
To satisfy his mind Of immortality or God
He did but question what he could not
know.
And though he answers in q vague, I'M

He doubts his reasoning, and frankly
says:
IF there's a Power above" I do not
What lies beyond. I follow reasons
way,
And if it does not lead me to God
There is no God; for reason is the torch
That lights the way to all that is.
Did reason make itself? All. no!
It never has contended such ne;
But just as well could reason make itself,
And through Itself evolve itself again,
AS God could make himself and us
create.

ooh, no; don't feel bad at all;
I couldn't win, I knew
With odds such as I ia ed a SAINT
Could not have wriggled through.
I ran because it seemed to me
That some one should, you KNOW
I never had the slightest hope
OF being chosen, though.
"What's that you say? Oh, yes, did
Pretend I thought I'd win,
And that there'd be a landsllde-but
That isn't any sin.
I had to show that I had nerve,
But now that all is done,
I'll say to you that I'd have been
Surprised if I had won.
owe said all that I have to say,
And I am glad indeed
That I may give my own affairs
The time and care they need.
If 1 had won I would have had
To sacrifice a lot;
I'm glad to yield the other man
The honor that he's got.

Leslie's Weekly, in a late issue. reviews
that review and says that the speaker
set forth principles underlying the insur

He liked it's color, vain young chap
And pitched Daisy just because
She tucked hers in her snowy cap.
"Oh, ho,'' he cried. my hairs so thick,
I couldn't do that if I tried"
you'd keep it longer if You did.
The Daisy with a smile replied
Alas, her words were all too true.
For, left uncovered day and night,
The sun and rain beat on his head
And turned his golden locks to white.
And soon dreadful thing occurred.
At which the Daisy looked appalled,,
A clustering wind swept by, and 10!

It's knights all gone to grog.

BIG PROFITS IN LOCUST TREES.
after Fifteen Years Ten Acres Of
Land Should Yield n Return

In a recent issue OF Forestry ana 1rrl-
CATION, published in Washington, Mr. Al
bert Nelson gave some interesting 11s-
s1res showing profits on the yellow 10.
Gust.
In illustrating what may be done in the
cultivation of the locust in Maryland. Mr..
Nelson gives the result of experiments
on the priesthood Farm, in Hartford coun-
ty. The farm has about 5000 trees, oil,
vided up as follows:
$40 trees 20 to &c years old, II to IS inches
in diameter
$50 trees y to 20 years old. to II inches
1910 trees to IL years old, 2 to inches
in diameter.
During the past year a careful record
has been kept of cutting and sales. -Four
hundred trees were cut and several nun
dred more were available. Many OF the
trees cut last year had been allowed 10
get too old, and there was certain
amount of waste AS rule, the yellow
locust should not be allowed to grow over
| 40 wears the best wood being obtained
up to that age.
The result at Priesthood Farm show that
yellow locust trees to is inches in diam
eter can be grown from seedlings III 10
to 20 years. Such trees will yield four to
eight posts each, making an average of
six posts to a tree. After the first crop
is cut the suckers will grow from the
stump feet high the first season.
An estimate for a locust plantation OF
| 10 acres, based upon the writer's expert
ence, would be as follows:
