| PHILOSOPHY. Remember, O remember, while years are floating by, While springtime scenes of joyous youth are measuring the sky, To garner in for later years, when life may lose its zest, That treasure which of treasures all is ever, ever blest — A brave Philosophy! Remember, O remember, while manhood’s Snmmer grows, While striving "mid the plercing thorns to pluck ambition's rose, Though failure, pain and sacrifice may mar thy daily path, That these do sheath their keoner pang for him who always hath A wise Philosophy! Remember, O remember, wan is far b nd, With mem'ry's claak to from autumn’s chilling wind, That thou may’st purchase refuge with the treasure thou has won, And fairer, warmer radiance than shed by summer sun, : With thy Philosophy! Remember, O remember, when winter's icy hand 4 Draws tighter and yet tighter life's sler golden band, That there is hope and pace and happiness indeed, revs And confidence bey nd despa r, whatever thy creed, In true Philosophy! - Carlyle Harris, in New York World. eR THE SNAKE BROOCH. sobbed out son and burst int enough, bu gave | 1 a situat nie simply ul ment | the carriage, beg masculine fashion the matter with her, suddenly parted her two tiny claspel and bands.
