ROME WASN'T I3UILT IN A DAY,yr
Tho boy who done a etroko, and stops
Willne'er a grout man be ;
'Tie the aggregate of single drops
That makes the sea the sea.
Not all at ollee the morning, streams
Ito gold above the gray,
It takes a thousand little beams,
To make the Clay the day.
Upon the orchard rain must fall,
And soak from branch to root,
And buds must bloom and fade withal
Before the fruit ie fruit.
The farrier needs nine! sow and till
And wait the wheaten head,
Th, n cradle, thresh, and go to mill,
Notate the breed is bread,
Swift heels may get the tarty shout,
But, spite of all the din,
It is the patient holding out
That makes the winner win.
BEYOND HER PLOWERH.
Selections from Schubert and Spohr
She eon very reepeotahly play,
And Chapin and Liszt from the score,
On her patient pianoforte ;
And many a Teutonic lay
Can sing with or not with the book,
Her talent there's nose can gainsay ,
But ebe never will. learn bow to cook.
In Gorman her friends ebe can floor,
And in French e110 is also au fait,
Against her lioguietical lore
I am aura that no one can inveigh,
She dances ae light as the spray;
In that art alto no rival will brook ;
She's ever so pretty and gay;
But she never will learn how to cook,
.Her gowns aro from Gallia'e shore,
And are made in the mode of the day,
Her father the bills moat deplore
For her very expensive array.
She paints and she models in play
La her own very healthful nook ;
And art of all sorts she'll e0eay ;
But oho never will learn bow to cook.
RNvor.
Fair maid, read the morel I pray;
I would win her by hook or by crook;
I'd give her a chance to say yes
If she only would learn how to crook.
SIGNING THE FARM AWAY.
Bine old farm, fora hundred years
Kept in the family name;
Cornfields rich with golden ears
Olt ae the harvest name;
Crowded barn and crowded kin,
And still the loads kept coming in -
Rolling in for a hundred years ;
And the fourth in the family line appears.
Orchard covered the slopes of the hill ;
Cider -forty barreis, they say --
Sure in 8041011 to come from the mill,
To be tasted round Thanksgiving Day 1
And thty wank ae they worked, and they
drank as they ate,
Winter and summer, early and late,
Counting it as a great mishap
To be found "without a barrel on tap."
Bat, while the seasons crept along,
And paaoiens into habits grew,
Their appetites became ae strong
As ever a drunkard knew,
And they labored less, and they squandered
more,
Chiefly for rum at the village store,
Tiil called by the sheriff, one bitter day,
To sign the homestead farm sway.
Thelfather, shattered and scented with ram;
The mother, sick and pale and thin,
Under the weight of her sorrows dumb,
In debt for the bed she was dying in ;
Oh,I saw the wreaked honeebold around
her Stand -
And the justice lifted her trembling hand,
Helping her, as in pain the lay,
So sign the homestead farm away.
Oh, many ecenee have I met fel life,
And many a oall to pray;
But the saddest of all was the 'drunkerd'a
wife
Signing the farm away ;
Home once richest in all the town,
Homo, in that fatal cup poured down,
Woreethan fire or flood's dismay -
Drunkard signing the farm away 1
THE SPINSTER.
She was a sour spinster,
A woman of renown,
Of vinegarish features,
.And ever.preeent frown.
She kept the girls on nettles,
Likewise the boys the same -
Did this peculiar creator°
Of goeeip•adding fame,
Her cellar it wan laden
With pickled things in jars;
She constantly was creating
Among the neighbors ware
Her attic it was crowded
With simples hung to dry
She said they would be useful -
Who knows ? in by and by,
The plague it cane and smote them
The people of the town;
The epineter was an angel,
For all her past renown.
The doctors fled in terror,
Fear-etriokon from tho place ;
God Mesa the ugly spinster
Of vinegarish face l
Her ein/pies from the attic
Kept down the firebrand ;
And temples that were bursting
Cooled underneath her hand.
Ged bless the dear old creature 1
Although her tongue was keen,
To.day among the people
She is their potted queen.
The maintenance of prisoners in
the Brantford goal during the last
three menthe has been 6+ cents per
day, the ioweel figure reached for
90me years.

Friendship.
Those who would wish to know one
of the greatest bonds of true friend.
ship may read the words, of Francis
Feleou who wail Archbishop of Cam
bray in the seventeenth century. He
was not afraid to know his own faults
for he wrote: -
"I request you more than ever not
to spare me in telling me my faults ;
though you think you dieeover a fault
in me whioh perhaps I have not, the
harm will not be great. If your in•
timation and advice offend me, I
shall. thereby see that you have reach-
ed the quick, and thus you will still
do me a great benefit, by injuring me
to reproof, and to a Christian 10 wli-
neae of spirit. The higher I am
raised by my oharaoter, the more I
ought to bo humbled. And I hope
that, far from weakening our union,
it will be a means to 'strengthen it."
If two persona are to friendly gym-
pathy with each other they will re-
gard it as a duty, though an un-
pleasant ono, to try each to correct
the faults he finds in the other. This
must be done in all lovingness of
spirit or dee harm only ie likely to
remit on both sides. Remember that
he who makes the loudest protost-
attone of friendship, declaring that
he will never be offended with you
whatever you may say to him, will
often be the first to see cause of of-
fence in a reproof.
If you would be in the highest
ful that
friendship
ou take rwith eproof at his be ever hands
in a kind way, not lightly if it be a
matter of importance, but laying it
deeply to heart with the intention of
benefiting your character by your
friend's advice. In this way friend-
ship is strengthened and turned to
good account.
