Nathan Hale.

To drum beat and heart beat
\ soldier marches by:
There Is color in his cheek,
There is courage in his eye,
Yet to drum beat and heart beat
In a moment he must die.
BY starlight and moonlight
He seeks the BritOn's camp.
He hears the rustling flag,
And the armed sentrN's tramp,
Ana the starlight and moonlight
His silent wandering lamp.
With slow tread and still tread
He scans the tented line,
And he counts the battery guns
BY the gaurt and shadOwy pine.
And his slow tread and still tread
Gives no warning sign.
A sharp clang. n steel clang.
And terror in the sound,
For the sentry. falcon eyed.
In the camp a spy hath found
With a sharp clang. n steel clang.
The patriot is bound.
With calm brow and steady brow,
He listens to his doom:
In his look there is no fear.
Nor shadow-trace of gloom,
Rut with calm brow, steady pro"
He robes him for the tomb.
In the long night. the still night,
He kneels upon the sod:
And the brutal guards withhold
Ev'n the solemn Word Of God;
And the long night. the still night.
He walks where Christ hath trod
| Meath the blue morn, the sunny morn.
He dies upon the tree:
And he mourns that he can lose
| But one life for liberty.
| And in the blue morn, the sunny morn
His slirit-wings are free.
But his last words, his message words.
| They burn, lest friendly eye
Should read how proud and calm
| A patriot should die.
With his last words. his dying words.
A soldiers battle cry.

The Uses of Worry.

Worry of one sort and another is ne
cesS:,ry to the complete health of the
spirit; worry is as surely related to con-
tent on one side as it is 20 misery on the
other. 1t is as wholesome an exercise
for the spirit, and as refreshing, as the
physical exercise which the man finds SO
necessary to his Well-being. The spirit
must have its peculiar gymnastics; the
soul cannot afford to become stagrant:
it's waters must be stirred occasionally
il they would be kept fresh and sweet
