Work too nigh for me to do

Cares I oould not keep alone—
These I know as I have known;

"As thy day thy atrongth shall be."
Ever to my heart I take
That Ho gives for love's clear sake ;
And, whatever be my lot,

The world is not yet familiar with

Now in preparing ourselves for

the chemical composition of the
foods, we should expect that the

oatmeal second and tbo wheat third.
This is not always safe eensouing,
however, as the form or mechanical
composition of food has a great
deal to do in animal economy unci
often upsetts oar best theories ;
there is no chemical equal to diges-
tion. I am indulging thus because
the proscribed bulletin is not large
enough for all details of the testing,
but is sniliolent for abstract oriti.
