IS IT WORTH WHILE ? Is it worth while that we jostle a brother Bearing his load on the rough road of life? Is it worth while that we jeer at each other In blackness of heart??that we war to the kife ? God pity us all in our pitiful strife. God pity us all as we jostle each other; God pardon us all for the triumph we feel When a fellow goes down 'neath his loud on the heather, Pierced to the heart: words are keener than steel, And mightier fnr for woe or for weal. Were it not well in this brief journey On over the isthmus, down into the tide, We give him a fish instead of a serpent, fire folding the hands to be and abide Forever and aye in dust at his side ? Look at the roses saluting eAch other; Look at the herds all at peace on the plainMan, and man only, make9 war on his brother, And laughs in his heart at his peril and pain; Shamed by the beasts that go down on the plain. Is it worth while that we battle to humble # Some poor fellow soldier ilown into the dust! God pity us all! Time oftsoon will tumble All of us together like leaves i#n gust, Humbled indeed down into the dust. JoAQTIX Mi J. I.

A Parisian, whose wi?| lately died, imagined himself transformed into a weepiDg willow, and went about the streets of Paris with a flower pot on his head to announce the transformation.

A hard tempered citizen of Arkansas fancying that a Methodist revival-preach er "meiftit hina," in one of his pointet sermons, sent him a challenge.

The "court," which consist ed of six experienced duellists, declared that the clergyman was at fault, "as nc gentleman, when challenged, has a righl to select weapons to which the challenger is totally unaccustomed." A young gentleman of a musical turn of mind, had permission to practice on u church organ.
