Take Life JoYousiy.

Take life too seriously, and what is
1t worth? If the morning wake us to
no new joys, if the evening bring US
not the hope Of new pleasures, is it
worth while to dress and undress?
Does the sun shine on me today that
may reflect on yesterday? That
may endeavor to foresee and control
what can neither be foreseen nor con-
trolled-the destiny of tomorrow

He knew he would need it at home.
He hurriedly redeemed 1t at the last
moment. packed it in the grip and

His mother was helping him unpack.
She came to the coat.

out forty-seven stanzas-and the end

Because" said he. ''in calculating

the variation, the point on the Alamito

for your treasure is exactly six miles
and nine hundred and forty-five varas
farther west than the place you hit
upon. oh, what fool you are, Jim!"
He smiled in his superior way: and
