Song and
Story... ..
Profit and Loss.
Working and hoarding as years go
past,
Searching for riches that will not last
Laying up treasure our time we
spend.
What will it profit us in the end?
Striving to save just a little more,
Only to add to our earthly store,
+ Working from morn till the shadows
Yat, wilt it profit us after all?
‘Nothing is carried beyond the grave,
Nothing of all that we toiled to save.
Slave for the world and we pay the
. Cost—
Profits for us in the end are lost.
Riches are held to the owner’s loss
"Netting him nought in return but
dross.
Happy the man, aye, wise is he,
Whose profits wait in eternity!
B. W. Lutke, St. Louis.

They have a woman in Toledo, it is
said who canot speak without rhym-
‘ing. In all of her conversation about
the house, even in her orders to her
‘servants, she uses poetry as a vehi:
cle. The rhyming mania seized ‘her
after a severe fit of illness, and now
she cannot get rid of it. The effect of
this when she is attending to the or-
dinary duties of the household must
often be remdrkdble. 1t"1s, We suppose
‘somewhat ‘like ‘this:
“It would give, Matilda, enormous re
lief,
If you'd cook those potatoes and
: beans With the beef.”
Or this—
“Mary Jane, go right up stairs and
sweep and make my bed,
And do it quickly, too, d’you hear,
Or else I'll punch your head.
Another—
“You, Johnny, if you tear your pants,
I'll flog you till I make you dance!
