TEE BEST,
`Would you oath business on the wing,
Then daily advertise ;
You'll find it quite the proper thing
Thee early in the days of spring
To seek the publio eyes.
And when you do a0 bear in mind
Thin statement ever true,
That advertising merchants find
Tea Pose' the finest of its kind
For trade and reading too.
ONE VIEW OF JOURNALISM.
Bow fertile the brain of the press corree.
poudent
Whenever his editor stoke for some news;
Though groat be the taek, he is never des-
pondent,
If only ke knows the great editor's views,
He will spend every effort to get up a tele.
Thd
t gives nought but facto that around
him exiet;
But, failing, he'll take au exact parallelo-
gram
And make it a circle by twisting his
wrist.
Now, who is to blame for this prevarication?
The man who refuses will soon be relieved,
And two honest editors got but damnation
From people who like to be always de-
ceived.
A BACHELOR'S CAROL.
I'm a jolly old baohelor, blithe and jocose,
I'm as happy as dune days are long:
Bow 1 pity yon Benedicts, dull and morose,

wrong
I've had narrow escapes, too, myself hi my
time,
And my gratitude now I express,
Tn sincerity, if not in artistic rhyme,
To the dear girls who wouldn't say Yea.
There woe Tiato now, the beauty who first
won my heart,
If she'd had me, whore would I he now--
Providingfor seven four years from the
start,

Then Jennie, who jilted me next, what of
her?—
She's an invalid now, thin and pale,
And her liuoband has ruined himself, they

While I am as jolly and young as a boy,
And my thanks once again I express
To the scornful young maidens, proud, and
haughty, and coy,
To the dear girls who wouldn't say Yes.
TWO' PREACHERS.
The .preacher stood in the pulpit,
And spoke with large discourse,
Of reason and revelation,
Nature and cosmic force.
He talked of the reign of order,
Of scientific skill,
And knowledge se the only key
To bind the heavenly will.
And I wondered at the doctrine,
It seemed so strange and oold,
and thought of saints that I had known,
Weary, poor and old,
For they nothing ]mew of science,
Praying on bended knee,
And from ancient superstitions
Were not altogether free.
While lost in this maze of wisdom
About the false and true,
There came to my eyes a vision,
Near to the nearest pew.
'Twos a vision dear and tender,
The sweet face of a child,
As weary of all the talking
He lay asleep and smiled.
Nothing he cared for the preaohor,
Who spoke of law above,
But in his face was innocence
•And words of trustful lova,
I thought of a certain teacher,
Tho wiee, the undefiled,
Who saw the kingdom of heaven,
Within the heart of a child.
'Tin good to be strong and Iearned,
Gopd to be wise and bold,
But the beet of everything that is
The preacher left untold.
