Night and day unceasing sings it ; Sings ib when I sit alone; Sings it 00 my heart can hear it, "It is better further on." Sings it when the slcy is wintry, When the wilds aro making moan; Slings it when the dark is falling, is butter furthor on," Sits upon the grave and sings it, Sings of dear ones dead and gone ; Sings it to celestial musio, "You will find them further on,' Sings it in my Si Lent; chamber, When the sorrow's pang I groan ; Sings it as the shadows darken, "It is hotter farther on." Further on 7 But how much furbher? Count the milestones ono by one ; No ; no counting, only trusting, "It is bettor further on," BUILDING. Soule aro built as temples =— Sunken deep, unseen, unknown, Lies the sure foundation stone. Then the courses framed to bear Lift the cloisters pillared fair, Last of all the airy spire, Soaring heavenward, higher and higher, Nearest sun and nearest star. Souls are built as temples are— Inch by Mob in gradual riso Mount the layered masonarioe. Warring questions have their day, Sings arise and pass away, Laborers vanish one by one, Still the temple is not done, Still completion seams afar. Sonia are built as temples are— Here a carving riob and quaint, There the image of a saint; IIere a deep -hoed pane to tell Sacred truth or miracle ; Every little helps the much ; Every careful, carless touch Adds a charm or leaves a soar. Souls are built as temples are— Based on truth's eternal law, Sure and steadfast, without flaw, Through 6110 sunshine. through the snows, Up and on the building goes; Every fair thing finds its place, Every bard thing lands a grace, Every hand may make or mar. WHAT THE 13UI1DOCK WAS GOOD FOB. "Good for nothing," the farmer said Ashamed° a sweep at the buidook's Bead; But thou he thought it washed, no doubt, To come some day and root it out. So he lowered his scythe and went his way, To see his corn, to gather his hay; And the weeds grew safe and strong and tall, Close by the side of the garden wall. "Good for a home," Dried the little toad, As ho hopped up out of the dusty road. Ho had just been having a dreadful fright; The boy who gave it was yet in sight. IIere it was oonl and dark and green, Tho safest kind of a leafy screen. Tho toad was happy ; "For," said he, "The burdock was plainly meant for me." "Good for a prop," the spider thought, And to and fro with caro ho wrought, Till ho fastened it well to an evergreen, And spun his cables fine between. 'Twos a beautiful bridge—a triumph of skill ; Tho flies mune 'round, as idlers will; The spider lurked in his corner dim— The more they came the )better for him. "Good for play," said the ohild, perplext To know what frolic was ooming next. So she gathered the burrs that all despised, And her oity playmate was quite surprised To see whet a beautiful basket or chair • Could he made with a little time and care, They ranged their treasures about with pride, And played all day by the burdock's side. Nothing ie lost in this world of ours ; I-Ioney comes from the idle flower ; The wend which we pass in utter sooru May save a life by another morn; Wonders await us at ovary turn, We must be silent and gladly learn, No room for recklessness or abase, Sinoe even a burdock has its use. HE HADA RLGiRT TO CROW. , A /:aria, Cook (tills at Herr Hawk after 0 Lively fright. A lively fight between a leen hawk and a game cook took plane last Monday on the farm of Levi Joslin, in Ransom county, Pa. The hawk ,swooped down into the barnyard and caught a chidden, and, before it had a chance to rise with its prey, a small game cookof last year's hatching pitched into it and made the featlsot a fly. The hawk dropped the ehiekan and fought baok, but the rooster soon tore alI the feathers off its breast anti peeped at its head till tho blood came, Meantime the hawk got in a few good clips with its beak on the rooster's peaked little head, but thatonly tended to make the rooster more firoy, and he spurred the big chicken thief until it screeched and tried to gob away, Seeing what the hawk was up to the rooster caught it by tho slack akin of its featherless nock and hung on, jabbing ib in tho breast at the rate of Iwo jibe to second for a •dozon times or more, the hawk endeavor- ing to break itself loose by beating the rooster with its wings, Farmer Joslin had been witnessing the in- teresting fight from the barn door up to tliit time, svhen, fearing that the hawk might soon Slake the rooster oft and fly away, be ran out with a club and wee going to hat the hawk on the hook, when the rooster thrust one of his spurs into the Bide of the hawk's head and laid it out Miff, The hawk soon died, and thou the rooster hopped on top of the oar. case and crowed, RAILWAY 1915 N ILS.

TILI; UIIIL8 Oa' LONG AGO. The Delta Kappa Epsilon Fra- ternity of Hamilton college last night formally opened their new Chapter bones. At the banquet, Professor A. P. Kelsey, '56, of Clin- ton, presided. Among the guesta was A. Miner Griswold, '59, "Fat Contributor," Editor of Texas Sift. inge, who responded to the toast, "Tbo Girl We Left Behind Us" in the following strain :— Mr. President and brother Daises: —The toast you have assigned me is one that touches a very tender chord in my heart. I have always felt sorry for the girls wo left behind us. It seemed cruel at the time, but how•eoutd we help it ? Ciroum- stancee were such that we couldn't possibly tape them along—we had to leave them behind us. I think I promised throe or four to come back for them in the spring or early au• tumu, but I was too busy for cover• al years to attend to ib, and after that—well, I was afraid my wife might not like it. I mot ono of the girls we left behind no in the street to•clay. That is, 1 thought 1 did. The same soft, brown eyoe, the same nwaob, sunny smile. "Is it posaible," I said, "that I behold Miss Sally Jones ?" "That was my mother's name." she smiled, "before she was married. I am married now, and 1 have named my baby after ma." Good gracious 1 The girl I left behind rue was a grandmother! I told the young lady who I was, and she said she had often hoard hor mother speak of no as one she need to know a great many years ago. Thou 1 asked about the girld I used to know, and what had be• tomo of them, I found that some, alas, were dead. Others who worn married, wished they were dead. Some, who were widows, land lovers seeking for their bands. Others, not yet widows, were seeking for divorces. Oh, those seminary girls of long ago—how we did regret leaving them behind us—except one poor follow who eloped with one of them. He has regretted all his life that ho didn't leave her behind with the rent of them. But we had to go and leave them. Fate bookonod us on, And, in some oases, tho faculty urged us to go. Were we to blame, then, for temporarily forgetting tho debte— I mean the girls we left behind us? Why, semo of to had to leave our trunks I A rare oollection of girls they wore, gentlemen, as I recall thew now. Tall, willowy girls; abort, plump girls ; black-eyed girlo that made no blue, and bluo•oyed girls that wo wore ready to take a black- eye for any time ; fair complexioned girls, brown girls, Smith girls, girle with auburn hair, and girls who, not being able to match their own hair in auburn, wero compelled to buy it in Utica, or Syracuse. In fact thorn was about ovary Irina of girl then that there is iio,v, oxoept the tailor-made girl, who sogms to be altogether a modern creation. Still, the latter hat points in his favor. While the girl I so tenderly recall possessed virtue, beauty, in, tolligoneo and nanny engaging ways, 1 must adroit that she eomotimos lacked the get-up—in fact she hadn't the bustle of the girl of today. THE 13RUSSEl4S POST No, brotbora of the olden limes, we most confess that in oomparisou with the tailor made girl of today, the girl . u left behind us had vory little left behind her. Still wo remember hor with ten- derness and respect, and lot us all join in a bumper to the girls of long ago.—lltioa Observer, . ._.� — nesa IIO0 Ys. 0080119. S.

Tho dug was choked, kicked, pounded, burned with hot irons, a wedge driven into his jaws, but all to 110 purpose. Finally an axe was procured and the dog's head chopped off. Then it was difficult to loosen the grip. The horae was gotten to his feet, and an battle royal. Probably the dog, after flesh was torn out.
