THE USES OF ADvEHsITY.

By William Shakespeare. Now, my co-mates. and brothers in exile. Hath not old custom made this life more
 sweet Than that of painted pomp? Are not
 these woods More free from peril than the envious
 court? Here feel we not the penalty of Adam, The seasons difference: as the icy fang, And curlish chidingi of the Winters wind, Which, when 1t bites and blows upon my
 body, Even till I shrink with cold, smile. and say, This is no fattery; these are counsellers That feelingy persuade me what am. Sweet are the uses of adversity. Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous. Wears yet a precious jewel in his head; And this our life, exempt from public
 haunt, Finds tongues in trees, books in the run-
 ming brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in evsry- ' .z' thtnR s~' -s-s. Hs

MAKE-RELIEvE

 Come away, oh, weary-hearted, For there's little time to grieve, And be happy. happy, happy In the Land of Make-Believe. You shall roam the hills with fairies, Singing songs through sun and rain And abide where never care is, Never heartache, never pain. All the bells of Elfland ringing, All the sweetest blooms that blow, All the gentle prayers uplifted Unto heaven from earth below, All the gifts the world denies you Shall be yours but to receive And dear Love shall trip beside you In the Land of Make-Bsiieve. Come away from sordid scheming. Where the fevered masses toll, Cease awhile to strive and wander Far away from life's turmoil To the galden realm of fancy, Where the music never dies And the castles wrought by dreamers Tower upward to the skies. Though the days be dark around you, Though life's ills would drag you down, Though you walk the way of sadness, On your brow thorny crown, Yet may you escape from sorrow, Win from every care reprieve. If you'll take a little journey To the Land of Make Believe!
