IN LIFE's BRIEF SPAN.
Experiences, Joys and Sorrows Of tho
Human Existence.

The loves and friendships of indi-
viduals partake of the frail character
of human life, and are brief and I'M
certain. The experience of human
life may be shortly summed up: A
little loving and 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 the
heart; some high ambitions and many
Waterloo defeata, until the heart be-
comes like charnel house filled with
dead affections. embalmed in holy
but sorrowful memories; and then
the chord is loosed, the golden bowl
is broken, the individual life-a cloud.
a vapor, passes away.-Matthew Hale

A little city boy and his sister
Dorothy were taken to the country

The two children were happy as the
day was long. In the late afternoon
they watched the cows come home,
heard with delight the tinkling cow
