Let me be calm. and hope
That somewhere all who toll shall rear
New tasks of larger scope;
Let not my failures bring despair.
Success be charged with scorn,
But keep me gratefully aware
To service i am sworn.

With kindly deeds and true, =
That in the thickest of the fight
The loyal are not few;
Give me the feeling. mid all care,
That sacrifice is blect;
And he who but a crust doth share
Has lone his very best.
Give me to carp at none who hold
A subtler faith than mine,
All creeds are growing weak and old
Save this-'tis loves divine;-
And let me not with hatred bear
Some fellow-traveler down,
Give me good will, l do not care
Who wears the mimic crown.
D tide of years, swift tide of years,
Giv me somehow to see.
Albeit through a storm of tears,
My deathless soul is free
To worship beauty everywhere.
To gather joy full late,
To Danish doubt, to battle fair,
And nobly face my fate.

HOW Drink Habits Are Acquired.

HOW OTluk 11dDltS Aio ASiuAAou'
The dismal life histories of some GO
male and female prisoners are given in a
report issued by the prison commissions
ers of Scotland, and a connection is
drawn In them between drunkenness
and crime. Drinking habits existed in
all but three cases; often the prisoners
came of drinking families. But the
nswer given by the prisoners to the
question Of why and when they took
to drink" have special interest. The
male prisoners had usually got into the
habit when lads of 16 or II. doubtless
regarding it as a proof of manhood and
independence. 1t is noteworthy how
mauy of these prisonerAstated that they
had attended Sunday school, and equally
evident that any influence 1t may have
exercised over them ceased at the age it
was. most needed. The women had not,
as O rule. begun to drink so young as the
men. "S4on after marriage" was the
answer giSen by many. too often in COM
pany WITTY thier husbands, and some
times with ne~ighbors. Others had not
acquired the habit till much later in life,
and widows frequently explained that
they only began drinking on the death
