A face where tender shadows fleet, Responsive to the passing mood — Sweet memories, promises more sweet, Nay — certainties of endless good. A face that courts the wildest breeze, . And woos the sun in summer hours; Lies chequered*'neath the flickering treea And vies in tint with vermeil flowers. And as some little lakelet clear Reflects the sky's unmeasured whole— So heaven's unnumbered charms appear, All mirrored in this single soul. Wouldst thou have such a face ?

" And thence tn Appii Forum did we cone. To ua a two dayt' trip ; to huatlera, one." — HOHATIU*. I Awake ! for Morning in the Bowl of Night Has flung the Stone that puts the Stars to Flight : And Lo ! the Hunter of the Hast has caught The Sultan's Turret in a Noose of Light. II Wake ! For the Sun who scatter'd into flight The Stars before him from the Field of Night, Drives Night along with them from Heav'n, and strikes The Sultan's Turret with a Shaft of Light. Ill Before the phantom of False morning died, Methought a Voice within the Tavern cried, " Whm all the Temple is prepared within, Why noii,;. the drowsy Worshipper outside ? " IV And, as the Cock crew, those who stood before The Tavern shouted — '* Open then the Door ! You know how little while we have to stay, And, once departed, may return no more. " And lately, by the Tavern Door agape, Came shining through the Dusk an Angel Shape, Bearing a Vessel on his Shoulder ; and He bid me taste of it ; and 't was — ^the Grape ; u XCbe Grape.

Ill Why, be this Juice the growth of God, who dare Blaspheme the twisted tendril as a Snare ? A Blessing, we should use it, should we not I And if a Curse— why, then, Who set it there ?

A belated guest arrived to find the host had tilted back his chair against the wall in drowsiness and all the guests dead drunk on the floor. The plaster had hardened round his scalp and had made him a prisoner. A piece of the scalp was cut ofi in getting him out. I.:ll Hi YoH know, my Friends, with what a brave Carouse I made a Second Marriage iii my house ; Divorced old barren Reason from my Bed, And took the Daughter of the Vine to Spouse. II Indeed the Idols I have loved so long Have done my credit in this World much wrong : Have drown 'd my Glory in a shallow Cup, And sold my Reputation for a Song. Ill Ah, but my Computations, People say. Reduced the Year to better reckoning? — Nay, 'T was only striking from the Calendar Unborn To-morrow and dead Yesterday. IV And much as Wine has play'd the Infidel, And robb'd me of my Robe of Honour — Well, I wonder often what the Vintners buy One half so precious as the stuff they sell. For " Is " and " Is-not " though with Rule and Line, And " Up-and-down " by Logic I define. Of all that one should care to fathom, I Was never deep in anything but — Wine.

Tell her that's young And shuns to have her graces spied, That hadst thou sprung In deserts, where no men abide, Thou must liave uncommended died. Small is the worth Of beauty from the light retired : Bid her come forth, Suffer herself to be desired. And not blush so to be admired. Then die ! that she The common fate of all things rare May read in thee : How small a part of time they share That are so wondrous sweet and fair ! [To this poem H. Kirke White added the following beautiful lines, whose only fault is that they utterly spoil the original.] "Yet tho' thou fade, From thy dead leaves yet ' r^rance rise, And teach the maid That Goodness Time's rude hand defies, That Virtue lives when Beauty dies."

Now i pluck it, now I own it. And high in costly vase enthrone it. It pales — and droops — and dies — But wheresoe'er it blushed we find A rare aroma stays behind, A scent celestial lies.

EMBERSON Author of MEHATLEH ) ANON & CO., "^™^^jPoet^ 38 r "' y How TO BE Happy. We are the most fortunate of men. We inherit the wisdom of the ages. Focus the wisdom of the wisest men of the past upon the best way to be happy, and it is simple enough. It can be re- duced to a merely mechanical procsiss. All it needs is that you should try it. All it asks is five minutes a day The way to be happy is this:— About the middle of each day retire and ask yourself this question ;T-What have I done during the past morning to make myself or anybody else unhappy ? Then frame some brief rule to prevent your ever being so foolish again. Enter these rules into a little book kept for the purpose, with a blank space in it for every day in the year. Then say over to yourself, aloud or half aloud, the following iO00Wl Pray. Invincible Good Humored be ; and cool ALWAY. Eat, — sleep, — retire from all away, At some fixed hours, by rule (And PLAY Two HOURS at least) Each day. Cast out all fear and all' desire, Be fiercely honest, not a liar, For e'en in jest The truth is best. Say nothing ill of old or young ; And when you're angry hold your tongue : Owe no man ought but the gift of love. Seek bliss in blessing others here, And find it ap above. 39 r Or, every other day, say in prose these DOZEN RULES FOR HAPPINESS. I. Praise. 2. Preserve Irresistifiie Good Humour. Say the initial letters of the four words (the letters PIG) over to yourself every time you sit down to a meal. 3. Keep cool whatever happens. There is nothing in this little world worth worrying an immortal soul's viscera into fiddle- strings about. 4. Keep fixt and immovable hours for all the functions of nature. 5. Set aside two hours a day for fun. 6. Desirez fort peu et desirez-lefort pen. 7. Never tell a lie, even in jest. A man who tells an untruth in jest is-often not believed when he speaks in earnest.. 8. If you are a fool speak ill of a man to his face* If a knave as well as a fool say it behind his back, v 9. When angry hold your tongue. 10. Don't owe a sixpence, rather die. 11. You may look for your own happiness everywhere. You will never find it till you stumble across it in trying to make others happy. 12. Be much in the society of your best friend, and your best friends' books, and noble women, and your heart-friends among men. 13. Never be in a room ^y night or day without a window being more or less open in it, or unless it communicates by open doors into a room with an open window. The last rule is one of the most imDortant Thpr#» wao ainra»e seemmgly, meant to be clear access between us and heaven, phy- sically as well as mentally. Read Drummond's " Natural Law in the Spiritual World." and this will be explained. 40 ...? ^TT ^o^T^^ ^ """^"^ y^"°g "'^^J You seek happi- ness, and when St. Paul urges self-examination, You say : If the prophet had asked some great thing " But ten minutes a day 1 ^ Thai's too much ll " P-S^Dori^t try and grab all tkat you can, but try how much you can do without.

George Outram. ^ CHe wai editor of the Olaigow Mercury about 1860, when my (rtoad Hr. Thynne McGaviii was office boy.) One year I spent a week in Fife— An unco week it proved ter be — For there I met a woesome wife ^ Lamentin' her viduity. Her grief brak out sae fierce and fell, • I thought her heart wad burst its shell ; And— -^ I was sae left to myseV — I sold hex an Annuity ! ., " The bargain Icokit fair enough — Shfe just was turned o' saxty-three— I couldna guess she'd prove sae tough, By human ingenuity. But years have come, and years have gane, And there she's yet as hard 's a stane — The limmer's growin'- young again, Since she got her Annuity* She's crined awa to bone an' skin,. But that it seems is nought to me. She's like to live— although she's in The last stage o' tenuity. She munches wi' iter wizen'd gums, An* stumps about on legs o' thrums. But comes — as sure as Christmas comes^- To call for her Annuity. 42 I read the tables, drawn wi' care, For an Insurance Company ; Her chance o' life was stated there Wi' perfect perspicuity. But tables here or tables there, She's lived ten yei^rs beyond her shares And like to live a dozen mair, To ca' for her Annuity. If there's a talk o' cholera Or typhus— wha sae sharp as she? She buys up baths, an* drugs, an' a', In sic a superfluity I She doesna need, she's fever-proof— iTie pest walked o'er her very roof- She told me so— an' then her hoof Held out, for her Annuity. One day she fell— her arm she brak— As compound fracture as could be— Nae leech the cure would undertak, Whate'er was the gratuity. It's cured {—she handles like a flail- She works as weel in bits as haJe— But I'm a broken man mysel', Wi' her and her Annuity. Her bruisl6d flesh and broken bones Are weel as flesh an' bones can be. She beats the toad* that live in stones. An' fatten in vacuity I THey die when they're exposed to aij- I^ey canna thole the atmosphere— But her7^-expose HER anywhere— ' She lives for her Annuity. '1 ' 43 If mortal means could nick her thread, Sma' crime it wad appear to me— Ca't murder— or ca't homicide— I'd justify't— an; do it tae. • But how to kill a wither'd wife That's carved out o' the tree o* life— The wooden hussy dares the knife To settle her Annuity. I'd try a shot— But whar's the mark?-^ Her vital parts are hid frae me. ^ Her back-bone wanders through her sark In an unkenn'd corksQrewity. She's palsified— an' shakes her head Sae fast about, ye canna see't— eh?— It's past the power 'o steel or lead To settle that Annuity. ^ She might be drown'd j— but go she'll not Within a mile o' loch or sea ; Or hang'd— if cord could grip a throat- O' sic an exiguity. / It draws out like a telescope- It's fitter far to hang the rope, *Twad take a dreadfu' length o' drop To settle that Annuity. Will poison do it "i—HushJ It's been tried, But, be it in hash or fricass6e, That's just the dish she can't abide, Whatever kind o' taste it hae. It's needless to assail her doobts— She goes by instinct,— like the brutesr^ An' only eats an' drinks what suits Herself and her Annuity. - #j^ ' < t \ 44 The Bible says the age o' man Threescore and, ten >4a// ought to be, Shesninety-sixm{^f,\) Let them who can Explain the incongruity I She should ha' lived afore the flood— She comes o' Patriarchal blood- She's some auld Pagan mummified For me and "her Annuity.

Lot's wife wastresh compared to her— They've Kyanized the useless cur— She canna decompose— nae mair Thau her accursed Annuity: .The water drap wears out the rock As this eternal jaud wears me, I could withstand the single shock, But not the continuity.

Moths they are riddling them; Lumkin is diddling them. As long as the carpets are down in our hall We'll never get well, no, never at all. Those who wish to know what sweet air is should wax or pamt their floors wuhjAMiEsoN's paints, and have raasAafi^i rugs, mats &c., thrown down where feet do rest or most do tread. F. C. Emberson, M.A., Countersigned, j. y. Anglin, M.D. (I call him Isaac Walton, co.. he's always an 'anglin ) The best place to buy Carpets is Morgan's, the on/y place ,n Montreal where you can buy Sermons and other Dry Goods with any cer^u^ My of satisfaction. At least that is my experience 58 Cbe Malt and thy brother. Love divine will nM thy storehouse, Or thy handfu! still renew ; Scanty fare for one will ' often Make a royal feast for two. For the heart grows rich in giving, All its wealth is living grain, Seeds which mildew in. the garner, Scattered, fill with gold the plain. Is thy burden hard and heavy, Do thy steps drag wearily ? Help to bear another's burden, God shall bear both it and thee. Numb and weary on the mountains, Would'st thou sleep among the snow? Chafe that frozen form beside thee. Then shall both together glow. Art thou stricken in life's battle ? Many wounded round thee moan, — Lavish on their wounds thy balsam, And that balm shall heal thine Dwn. 59 Emberson's Rules for Health.
