Experiences, joys and Sorrows Of the
Human Existence.

The loves and friendships Of indl-
viduals partake Of the frail character
Of human life, and are brief and un-
certain. The experience of a human
life may be shortly summed up: A
little loving and a good deal Of sor-
rowing; some bright hopes and many
bitter disappointments; some gor-
geous Thursdays when the skies are
bright and the heavens blue, when
Providence, bending over us in bless
ings, glads the heart almost to mad
ness; many dismal Fridays, when the
smoke of torment beclouds the mind
and undying sorrows gnaw upon tho
heart; some high ambitions and many
Waterloo defeats, until the heart be-
comes like a charnel house filled with
dead affections, embalmed in holy
but sorrowful memories; and then

terprise is based on a knowledge OF
human frailty. "The girl often hap.

low gets 1t in the neck. The ring for
that intended may not fit the finger of
the next intended; so stretch 1t for
