Better Than WISHING.

Do you wish the world were better? Let
me tell you what to do
Set watch upon your actions, keep them
always straight and true.
Rid your mind of selfish motives, let your
thoughts be clean and high,
You can make little Eden Of the sphere
you occupy.
Do you wish the world were wiser? Well,
suppose you make a start
BY accommodating wisdom in the scrap
book Of your heart.
Do not waste one page on folly; live to
learn and learn to live,
IT you want to give men knowledge you
must get 1t ere you give.
Do you wish the world were happy? Then
remember day by day
Just to scatter seeds of kindness as you
pass along the way,
For the pleasure Of the many may be
ofttimes traced to one
AS the hand that plants the acorn shell
ters armies from the sun.

with artillery before attempting any
gains, and this, it is explained, makes
progress naturally slow.
Several battaIions of British troops
have been cut off in the vicinity of
Arras and near Roye and forced to
surrender. The French are being
driven back in the vicinity of Verdun
and in the Vosges.
Reports from Gen. Won linden

new lines planned and are again hold

point. The Austrian general staff
