JUST GLANCE IN THE MIRROR.

In speaking of another's faults
Pray, don't forget your own;
Remember, those with houses of glass
Should never throw stone.
If you have nothing else to do
But talk of another's sin
Ills better you commence at home
And from that point begin
You have no right to judge a man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should you not like his company
You know the world is wide
Some have their faults-who has not
The old as we'll as young,
Perhaps you may, for aught I know,
Have fifty to my one.
III tell you of a better plan,
You'll find it works full we'll
Just try your own defects to cure
Let others rest a spell.
And though l sometimes hope to be
No worse than some 1 know,
My own shortcomings bid me to
The fault of others mercy show.
So don't forget when you commence
To Islander friend or foe;
Think of the harm one word may do
To those you little know.
Remember curses sometimes like
Our chickens "roost at home"
Don't speak of others faults until
You have none of your own.

TraveIina Sand Hills.

On the coast of Pomeranfa there are large tracts of sand heaped up by the wind, huncEeds of yards in breadth and from 60 to 12O feet high, and these hills, propelled by the wind. move steadily in an easterly direction. The speed at which these great Hills travel is from thirty nine to fifty-six feet a year. Pine woods, which some times come in their line of march, can not stop them and are completely de stroyed. The branches are rotted off by the sand, and nothing is left of the trees but the bare stems, which after a few years wither and die.
