HKINH TO IJUIIIEIV
HOIiKOW,"
BY WILLIAM COLLINS.
" 'TWHB but a harmless act of mine.
Mj lieart will lighter Jje to-morrow ;
1 do not love the tcmptrn^Vine,
A nil only drink to lfglifftu'eorrow."
How vain the wile, delusive thought !
Ihc wine cup cai not banish sadness, H
A'or can the heart's lost peace be bought
By reveling in its drunken madness.
, The momentary joys that flame
Wityiu our hearts at each libation,
Are tinctu.ed with remorse und shame,
And lead to sin and degredation.
Drink cannot soothe the wounded breast,
But lower 'to the earth degrade you ;
Tig God—who knows your sorrows best,
If Him you ask,—will guide .aud aid you.
; In vai;i you seek the tempting bow J,
Forge tfulncsa of grief to bor: ow ;
It brings but to the BOUI,
AU'J cannot chase or banish sorrow.

that gleamed white as a cloven c aeo

Then, with all this accumulation of

Ragnor Van RoSeval, by his own

that they read more and provide soirud

that it is r.'s sacred a duty to provide
food for their tnin. sas lor their bods

freely With them about what they read
they woulll be astonished to find how

Urn farmer tells you he has no time to
read tell him it is all a mistake. Every
farmer, even if he puts in every day
eight to fen hours solid hard work,
has still time to read if he only adopts
some system iu his work. The most
