Wo din° at Ella Johnson's,
MEMORIES, P. S.—I must decide,
Ho won't stand too muoli .uansouse,
Voetr ,
Forms are in the di tunco fading,
There aro furors that now fade ;
Time may oatat its misty shading,
Still wo a°o them through tho abode,
Year•a may roll with onrc engrossing,
Yet unchanged our hearts remain ;
Cow a thought tho memory crossing
\Makes tho past to life again I
Voices that wore lost in sadnosa
Break as through the startled air,
Voices once so full of gladn080 ;
Facey fills tho vacant chair.
Friends with whom in life vvo parted,
Whom in knowing fairer grow,
Mise before us open hearted
Loved and loving ever trim.
1Attle hands and tiny lingers
Press upon our bended knee ;
And the voice i6 eche lingers
Onoo so happy, full and from
'Treasured in the beat mainsail
Allour bonder memories lie,
Shall they rive? the soul expresses
Hope that they will never die.
"EVER YOURS SINCERELY."
HOW oft Wo write, how ofton speak,
Words of tho deepest meaning,
Yet aiucorely in their import seek
The truths we migb be gleaniiig,
Tho kindest words ore oorteous phrase,
And civil language mere ;
A"d scarce a letter but displays
And ending "Yours sincerely."
Yet pause a momont on the words ;
Think, if you might believe them
\V1 at joy would vibrate feeling's chards
1.1 rapture to receive thorn I
"Yours, ever }roars," in deopeat woe,
Not in life's sunshine merely,
1311t when the storms of sorrow blow,
Still yours, and "Yours sincerely,"
"Moura" in the changing scenos of life,
With f, iendship never failing,
Upholding you and tho strife,
Where love is uuavniliug ;
"Yours" to advise, to counsel, cheer,
With friendship prized most dearly,
And clay by day and > ear by year,
Still to bo "Yours sincorely."
So have Intro no doubts when others
shrink
From troubles which oppress us,
To share the bitter mop wo drink,
If they can aid or bless us :
li rir nris, not in kindly words alone,
lint nobly, truly, really,
fro act and deed, in wand and tone,
inn• friends, and ours silicon:1Y.
I t 1 • not so. The plira,c is meant

Of seeming value merely.

Those words, so nmoh revealing,

noted lecturer Sam Jones. Moab of

his eeriness, and there was nothing
111 Ids words or his appearance to
cause auyu00 to obang0 his upiuion.
His sharp, well defined, and some-
what tort:owed features are easily
recognizable from the portraits of
him published. His eyes are dark
and clear and 110 know' how to use
them with excellent effect.
The subject of his lecture was
"Tho 1311131011 of Life and How to
Win Thtm." 1Ie was listened to
with interest throughout and the
time occupied by him passed vary
quickly.
The following synopsis will give
an idea of the chief charaOterittiCs
of his discourse :
This is a world of battles, of de-
feats and triumphs. Looe and
Evil are the contestants, and man's
heart the battlo ground. The groat
question with us 1s, Which d these
forces shall triumph ? Tie first

battle is to take a stand. Tlo great.
