A THING THAT pvE NOTICED.

HERE'S one thing I've noticed while
jogging along
And I wish 1 could live as I
know
We need one another a bit In the
throng
To give us a lift as we go.
Oh, lift is a lift. and a whack is a
whack,
To bless us, or curse us instead,
And 1t takes as much muscle to shove
a man back
AS is needed to push him ahead
A curse or blow may be easily sped.
But they really are sure to react.
BY hatred is hatred undoubtedly fed.
And 1 think you have noticed the
fact
You may give a weak brother a lift
with his pack,
Or add to the rocks he must tread.
But it takes as much muscle to shove
man back
AS is needed to push him ahead

TO ADDRESS A LETTER-Constant
Reader, City. The proper way to address
a letter for delivery in a city Is to place
on the envelope the name OF the party,
that of the city, that OF the State and
the street and number. then the letter
cannot go astray. Some too tired 70
write use the word city OF local"
but it might happen that a person hav-
ing letter intended for delivery IN San
Francisco and addressed either "city'' or
local might be l. Oakland. and IL he
should drop the letter n box in that
city, the letter would not be delivered to
the party for whom intended.
