A checkered path before you lies.
Married when bees DER May blooms fit
Strangers around your board will sit.

Life will be one long honeymoon.
Married in July, with flowers ablaze.
Bitter-sweet memories in after days.
Married in Augustus heat and browse,
Lover and friend in your chosen spouse
Married in golden September's glow,
Smooth and serene your life will flow,

kissed.

The LAUGH Cure.


Laughter induces a mental exhilara-
ton.
The habit of frequent and hearty
laughter will not only save you many
doctors bill, but will also save you
years of your life.
There is good philosophy as well as
good health in the maxim, Laugh and
grow fat"
Laughter is a foe to pain and dis
ease. and sure cure for the "blues,"
melancholy and worry
Laughter is contagious. Be cheerful,
and you make everybody around you
happy, harmonious and healthful.
Laughter and good cheer make love
of life, and love of life is half of
health
Use laughter as table sauce; it sets
the organs to dancing, and thus stimu-
lates the digestive processes.
Laughter keeps~the heart and face
young, and enhances physical beauty.
Laughter is natures device for ex-
ercising the internal organs and giving
US pleasure at the same time
It sends the blood bounding through
the body. increases the respiration, and
gives warmth and glow to the whole
system.
It expands the chest, and forces the
poisoned air from the least used lung
cell.
Perfect health. which may be des-
troyed by piece of bad news, by grief
or anxiety, is often restored BY a good
hearty laugh.
A jolly physician is often better than
all his pills.-Success.

Your Mission.

If you cannot on the ocean
Sail among the $wiftest fleet,
Rocking on the highest pillows,
Laughing at the storms you meet,
You can stand among the sailors,
Anchored vet within the bay,
You can lend hand to help them,
AS they launch their boats away.
If you arc too weak to journey,
Up the mountain, steep and high,
You can stand within the valley,
While the multitudes go by.
You can chant in happy measure,
AS they slowly pass along;
Though they may forget the singer
They will not forget the song.
If You have not gold and silver
Ever ready to command,
If you cannot toward the needy
Reach an ever open hand.
You can visit the afflicted,
Ger the erring you can weep,
You can be a true disciple.
Sitting at the Savior's feet.
Il YOU cannot in the conflict
Prove yourself a soldier true,
If where the fire and smoke are ,hickest
There's no work for you to do,
You can go with careful tread,
You can bear away the wounded,
You can cover up the dead.
Do not then stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do,
Fortune is a lazy GODDESS,
She will never come to you,
Go and toll in any vineyard.
DO not fear to do or dare,
If you want field of labor,
You can find it anywhere
Unidentified.
