WHAT OF THAT?
Tired ! Well, what of that ?
Didst fancy life was spent on bed of ease,
Fluttering the rose leaves scatter'd by the breeze?
Come ! rouse thee, work while it is call'd today,
Coward, arise -go forth upon the way !
Lonely ! And what of that?
Some must be lonely; 'lis not given to all,
To feel a heart responsive rise and fall,
To blend another lite into its own;
Work may be done in loneliness; work on !
Dark ! Well, and what of that?
Didst fondly dream the sun would never set ?
Dost fear to lose thy way? Take courage yet,
I. earn thou to walk by faith and not by sight:
Thy steps will guided be, and guided right.
Hard ! Well, and what of that ?
Didst fancy life one summer holiday
With lessons none to learn and naught but play ?
Go, get thee to thy task; conquer or die !
It must be learned learn it then patiently.
No help ! Nay; 'tis not so.
Though human help be far, thy God is nigh,
Who feeds the ravens, heats His children cry.
He's near thee wheresoever thy footsteps roam,
And He will guide thee, light thee, help thee home.
IN WERE KING.
If 1 were King ah, love, if I were King
What tributary nations would I bring
To stoop before your sceptre and to swear
Allegiance to your lips and eyes and hair;
Beneath your feet what treasure would I fling;
The stars would be your pearls upon a string,
The world a ruby for your finger ring,
And you should have the sun and moon to wear,
If I were King.
Let these wild dreams and wilder words take wing.
Deep in the woods I heard a shepherd sing
A simple ballad to a sylvan air,
Of love that ever finds your face more fair;
1 could not give you any goodlier thing
If I were King.
Many years ago there was a j
great famine in Germany, and the '
pour people suffered from hunger. ;
A rich man who loved children '
sent for twenty of them and said to I
them; "In this basket there is a:
loaf of bread for each of you. Take
it and come back again every day j
till the famine is over. 1 will give ,
you a loaf each." 1
The children were very hungry.
They seized the basket and strug-1
gled to get at the largest loaf. They
even forgot lo thank the man who !
had been kind to them. After a
few minutes of quarreling and
snatching for bread, every one ran
away with his loaf except one little
girl, named Greiehcn. She stood
there alone at a little distance from
the gentleman. Then, smiling,
i she took up the last loaf, the small
est of all, and thanked him with all
her heart.
! Next day the children came again,
and they behaved as badly as ever.
; Gretchen, who would not push
: with the rest, received only a tiny
loaf, scarcely half the size of the
' others. But, when she came home
j and her mother began to cut the
loaf, out dropped six shining coins
! of silver.
! "Oh, Gretchen!" exclaimed her
mother, "this must be a mistake.
: The money does not belong to us.
Run as quick as you can take it
J back to the gentleman."
So Gretchen carried it back. But
when she gave the gentleman her
j mother's message, he said: "No,
i no, it was not a mistake. I had
! the silver baked into the smallest
j loaf in order to reward you. Re
I member that the person who is
I contented to have a small loaf rath
! cr than to quarrel for a larger one
; will find blessings that are better
than money baked in bread.

; Lessons, by lilla Lyman Cabot, in

SIMPLE SPOT REMOVE K.
This is a recipe for the very best
"spot remover'' you ever tried.
Two ounces of castile soap
shaved fine; two quarts of pure
soft water. Boil till soap is thor
oughly dissolved; strain and cool.
When cool, add one ounce sul
phuric ether and two ounces of
wood alcohol; shake it well and
keep corked.
It is now ready for use and will
remove spots and stains from your
clothing like magic, especially
woolen garments.
"1 don't intend to try," I
heard a girl say. "1 should
a hopeles muddle of it."
It was only quite a simple
she had been asked to do to write
a letter for her mother, but most
of us have felt just the same way
ourselves.
We are alraid of trying and fail
ingit so humiliating.
And yet, when we come to think
of it, if nobody ever tries unless
they were certain of succeeding,
the world wouldn't get along quick
ly, would it?
It's only failing and trying again,
that we succeed in the end. Some
oF us are afraid to lend a helping
hand in time of need, in case we
fail, and look ridiculous in the eyes
of our friends and neighbors. We
never know what we are capable
of doing until we have tried, and
even if we fail many times there is
no need to despair. Our failures
very often are merely the stepping
stones to success.
Liven other people's failures are
some time helpful to us, for they
show us the pitlalls to avoid, says
Home Chat.
So let us make up our minds to
keep on trying, in spite of failures,
and disappointments, and instead
of making fun of those who try
and fail, let us help and encourage
them by our sympathy to try again.
