'"BE CAREFUL" WHAT YOU SAY.

In speaking of another's faults
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those with homes of glass
Should seldom throw stone.
If we have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
IT'S better we commence at home
And from that point begin.
We have no right to Judge man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some have faults and who has not
The old as well as young;
Perhaps we may, for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of a better plan,
find it works quite we'll
To try my own defects to cure
Before of others tell;
And though l sometime hope to be
No worse than some 1 know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all, when he commence
To SANDER friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those we little know,
Remember, curses, sometimes, like
Our chickens "roosts at home"
Don't speak of others faults until
We have none of our own.

MY AIM.

l live for those who love me, whose
hearts are kind and true,
For the heaven that smiles above me,
and awaits my spirit too;
For all human ties that bind me, for
the task by God assigned me;
For the bright hopes yet to find me,
and the good that can do.
l live to learn their story, who suf-
fcred for my sake;
To emulate their glory and follow in
their wake,
Bards, patriots, martyrs, sages, the
heroic of all ages,
Whose deeds crowd history's pages,
and times great volumes make.
1 live to hold communion with all
that is divine,
To feel there is q union 'twixt Ma
lures heart and mine;
To profit by affliction, reap truth
from fields of fiction,
Grow wiser from conviction, and full
fiji Gods grand design.
I live to hail tho season. by gifted
ones foretold,
When man shall live by reason, and
not alone by gold;
When man to man united, and every
wrong is righted,
The whole world shall be lighted, as
Eden was of old.
l live for those who love me, for
those who know me true;
For the heaven that smiles above me,
and waits my spirit too;
For the cause that. lacks assistance,
for the wrong that needs resist

For the future in the distance, and
the good that l can do.
