WHERE GO(1D MEIKURY IS USEFUL. -"Speaking of memory,' said a man, `I think 1 have a pretty good memory, but there are some things that i can't remember at all. I like for instance (who does not ?) to remember the pre- ferences of my guests at the table ; to be able to give, without asking after the first time, rare meat to hint who likes it, the white meat to the one who prefers that, and so on ; and I have pretty fair success in this ; but I have one guest whose wishes in regard to tea and coffee I find myself utterly un- able to fix in my nand. He takes coffee without sugar and with milk, and tea, without milk and with milk, and tea without milk and with sugar. Do you grasp that? You do, I know, for it is very simple; but do yon know, I just simply can't remember it 1 I can't. Of course, I can realize it with perfect clearness when I think of it, but the impression promptly fades from my mind. If his habits were alike as to tea and coffee; if in both he used milk and no sugar, or sugar and no milk, I could remember that easily ; but when, it comes to using one in one but, not in the other and, the other in this but riot in that, why, the effect produced nptokl my mind is, l freely confess, confus- ing, and I have to ask him every time.'

For though in dreadful whirls the hung High on the broken wave, I knew thou went not slow to hear, Not impotent to save. The storm was laid, the winds rrtired, Obedient to thy will ; The sea that snared at thy command, At thy command was stilled. In n.idst of dangers, feats, and death, Thy goodness I'll adore : 1,11 praise thee for thy mercies past, And hunibly hope for more. My life, if thou pre,serv'st my lite, Thy sacrifice shall be ; And death, if death must be my down, Shall join my soul to thee.
