Never use soap in washing silver.
Before using lemons always roll
them awhile with your hand on a

DO not say, Life is short" Christ's
life was short yet he finished the

he will give time enough to finish it

A pure soul is like beautiful pearl

A Vision.

The threads were twisted, the warp was thin
And the chain in the loop run ont,
The bobbins ratified their noisy din ...
And tumbled around and about;
The pattern was old, the colors were sad,
With scarcely glimmer of gold,
And the weaver that stood AT the worn-ou
loom ....
Was grizzled and gray and old.
This loom," said he, "is my bond OF life,
The pattern is not the best;
There IL many tangled end hnd,
When sought with an eager quest
To weave q web so bright and fair
That It's beauty would charm all eyes,
And the Master, when he gazed on It.,
Would behold my work with surprise.
All me! ah me! My loom and I
Have spun along each day; .. ID.
The colors dark, the colors light,
Are blended in ashen gray
My hopes, like threads, are woven close,
And never can be undope,
But into the warp and woof, we know,
The web Of our life is spun.
"But we've stuck by the worn out loom
And done the best we knew,
And our heart has done no brother wrong,
And kept each sister true;
And so we leave II now, alone,
Not ours to cut apart,
Our task Ia done, we now shall gain
Reward Of hands and heart"
