I do not like to dig and till ihe
garden it's too hard a chore; I'd
rather take a dollar bill and "buy
my onions at the store. When
first the vernal breezes bio, men
feel desire to hew the soil, and
with their spades and rakes they
(jo, and sing and chortle as they
toil. But vernal breezes soon ex
pire; the siz.ling wind of summer
blows, and sets the toilers beard
afire, and fans his neck and bakes
his nose. And as he sweais 'neath
burning skies, and gives the noxi
ous weeds a whack, a million ants
and bugs and Hies crawl up his
legs and bite his back. And then
he hates his sawed-off farm, he
growls enough for seven gents;
his cauliflowers lose all their charm
his string beans look like 20 cents.
Oh, I have gardened in the past,
and know the fervor horn of spring
glows bright a while, but does not
last; it is an evanescent thing. 1 do
not like the rake and hoe, I will not
ply them any more; when 1 want
turnips 1 will go and buy the
blamed things at the store. Uncle

A certain young man's friends
thought he was dead, but he was
only in a state of coma. VC'hen, in
ample time to avoid being buried,
he showed signs of life, he was
asked how it seemed to be dead
"Dead!" he exclaimed "I wasn't
dead. And 1 knew all the lime
what was going on. And 1 knew
I wasn't dead, too, because my
feet were cold and I was hungry.
"But how did that fact make you
think you were alive?" asked one
of the curious. "Well, this way.
1 knew that if 1 were in Heaven 1
wouldn't be hungry. And if I
were in the oilier place my feet
wouldn't be cold. United Presbyterian.

NEW EVERY MORNING.
livery day is a fresh beginning,
livery morn is the world made new;
You are weary of sorrow and singing,
Here is a beautiful hope for you
A hope for me and a hope for you.
At the past things are gone and over,
The tasks are done and the tears are shed,
Yesterday's errors let yesterday cover;
Yesterday's wounds, which s turted and bed,
Are healed with the healing which night has shed.
Yesterday is a part forever,
Bound up in the sheaih which God holds light,
With the glad days and sad days and bad days which never
Shall visit us more with their bloom or their blight,
Their fullness of sunshine or sorrowful night.
Let them go since we cannot relieve them,
Cannot undo or cannot atone;
God in His mercy receive and forgive them,
Only the new days are our own
Today is ours today alone.
Here are the skies all burnished brightly,
Here is the spent earth all reborn;
Here are the tired limbs springing lighily
To greet the sun and share with the morn
In its chrism of dew and cool of the dawn
Fvery day is a fresh beginning,
Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain,
And in spite of old sorrow and older sinning.
And trouble forecasted or possible pain.
Take heart with the new day and begin again.

Who thinks to -morrow will not bring him more
Than the sad days and years he's passed before,
Who thinks thai joy is false and love a cheat,
That since some things are bitter, none are si ret,
Has casi away--or lost- his kindest friend,
Hope; which all men should cherish to the end.
Cling fast to hope ! What though she show 10 thee
Visions of gladness which shall never be,
Wouldst thou walk blindly through a darkened vale
Because the sun shows heights thou canst not scale?
Would (lion tear down the drapery of thy halls
Because it hides the rough and iagged walls ?
Man of the downcast face, lift up thine eyes,
Look on the world which all around thee lies,
To left and right full many a path thou 'It see
Whose first long stage was grief and misery,
And yet which ended in the ways of ease,
Leading along cool brooks 'mid flowers and trees.
Remember this : That in a life whose sum
Includes both joy and sorrow, there must come
A time when sorrow, having spent his all
Of wrath upon thy head, must then let fall
His shattered sword, and give unwilling place
To joy, who follows him with shining face.
So when, the end approaching, thou lookest back
Over the lights and shadows of thy track,
And by the clear rays of the setting sun
Seest plain what blessings thou hast lost or won,
Thou then canst lift thy voice and raise thine eyes,
And thank the God above thee in the skies
That in the darkness where thou oft didst grope
There was not lost thy greatest treasure, hope.
