A DREAM vw REST,
In Jules nooks on Dreamland’s Isle,
"Mid fanecy's fond and favorite bowers,
I oft the moments sweet beguile,
And lull to sleep life's restless hours,
I dream ef glories woven soft
From out the wrap and woof of life;
And thus in dreaming find [ oft,
My heart set fres {rom toll and strife,
The dawn and day clasp hands and moet
To weave a garland for the noon;
Then o'er my isle with joy replete,
Hangs trembling tress of smiling moon.
I dream of isles beneath the soa,
Where mermaids tune their harps to sing;
And oft I hear their songs set free,
And o'er my Dreamlaud’s waters ring,
And then I dream of isles afar.
Beyond our worldly eare and strife,
Where naught their lisping waters mar—
Aud drop a tear for earth and life.
I see ceruleau watern nigh
The sun-bathed isles that softly rise;
And empyrean landscapes lie
Like angel dreams of Paradise,

Trail through the bright elysian wood;
feel the breath of spirit wing
Sweep ‘neath the sunlight’s golden flood. |

Bright flowers deck the emerald soul;

with the foolish.”

passing, a charming human being; it
refreshes one like flowers and woods
and clear brooks,
We should give as we receive, cheer-
fully, quickly and without hesitation,
for there Is no grace in a benefil that
sticks to the finger.
A man has no more right to say an
uncivil thing than to act one; no more
ight to say a rude thing to another
than to Xnock him down.
f we could read the secret history of
our enemies we should find in each
man’s life sorrow aud suffering enough
to disarm all hostillity.
Old age is the night of life, as night
is the old age of the day. Still night is
full of magnificence, and for many
is more brilliant than day.
Let us shun everything which might
tend to efface the primitive lineaments
of our individuality, Jet us reflect that
each one of us is a thought of God.
It is much easier to find a score of
men wise enough to discover the truth
than te find one intrepid enough, in the
face of opposition, to stand up for it.
Stories heard at mother’s knees are
never wholly forgotten. They form a
little spring that never quite dries up
in our journey through scorching years,
Never speak lightly of any one.

competency with tranquility of mind.
No one should see so much of the
