THE CURE.
Augustus Jones, in most respects, was
good as good could be;
He learned his lessons, brushed his
hair, ran errands cheerfully;
Yet though his mother laid' great
stress on one emphatic rule,
Augustus Jones would stop to play
while coming home from school.
Instead of coming home at two, he
stldom came till fire;
And such a tired, hungry boy when
once he did arrive! .
They pleaded and they scolded him,
they punished him as well;
And yet again, and yet again, the sad
affair befell.
Augustus Jones's grandmother said:
"Punishment's too hard."
She bought three cunning rabbits,
and she keeps them In the yard.
Augustus thinks of them all day; and
when his tasks are done,
Augustus Jones comes home from
school as fast as he can run.

From a glance at this Uble it will
be seen that poultry compares favor
ably with other flesh foods. Since
each Individual differs from other
individuals In powers of digestion,
figures of this sort cannot represent
exact amounts of nourishment s that
each individual would get from food.
However, as far as we know, these
variations are comparatively slight
among normal persons. Hence the
figures in the Uble may be consid
ered a reliable guide.
' .; DUTY. .' 4
A sense of duty pursues us ever.
It is omnipresent like the Deity. If
we Uke to ourselves the wings of
the morning and dwell in the utter
most part of the sea, duty performed
6r duty-violated is still with us, i for
our happiness or our, misery, if we
say the darkness shall cover us, in
the darkness, as in the light, our ob
ligations are yet with us. We cannot
escape their power nor fly from their
presence. They are with us in this
life, will be with us v at its close and
In that scene of inconceivable solem
