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.

A Parisian, whose wi?| lately died,

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 min
ister accented it, stating that the wean

This nonplussed the challenger, and h<
procured a "court of honor" to sit 01
the matter. The "court," which consist

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. One evening, on going
fo do so, he was unable to obtain the

he met a lad who. he thought, would
serve his turn for that occasion. In answer

which would show how full of air the
bellows was. The indicator, it mav be
mentioned, in a piece of string, attached
to the bellows, which passes through a
small aperture in the frame-\\urk, and to
which a light weight is fastened. The
man of music inquired of his assistant if
In* understood what he had to do; the hoy
answered that he "nawed all ahoot it."
whereupon the musician prepared to play.
On touching the keys of the organ, however,
no music was forthcoming. He
shouted to the boy, "Blow, rny lad."
"Aws blawin', Mir. Still no music. "Blow
harder, boy." "Aws blawin'harder sir."
Still no musie. "Blow harder yet. boy."
"Aws blawin' hard us evor aw can sir."
Still no music. Thinking that something
