WAITING,
Learn to wait-life'a bardost Icsson,
Conned, perchance, through blinding
tears;
While the heart-throbs sadly coho To the trend of passing years.
Learn to wait-hope's slow fruition;
Faint not, though the way seems long; There is joy in cach condition,
Hearts, though suffering, way grow strong,
Constant sunshine, however welcome,
Ne'er would ripen fruit or flower; Glant oaks owe half their greatness To the scathing tempest's power.
Thus a soul, untouched by sorrow,
Aima not at a higher stato; Joy noaks not a brighter morrow,
Unly sad hearts learn to wait.
Human strength and human greatness Spring not from life's sunny side, Bergen must be more than driftwood,
Floating on a wavelers tido,

Miscellaneous.
(New York Times.) The donation party is a shrewd device on the part of thrifty church-geers to com- pound for their failure to pay their minister a proper salary by giving him a collection of bulky and cheap' articles which he does not want. Still, upon the broad principle that something is better then nothing, the impecunious minister clings to the donation party, and cheerfully hopes that the day The Channel Islands are certainly not will come when his parishioners will cease the place that any one fond of sport would to believe that a full-grown minister and sleut to live in; for the fishing, at Jersey growing family can subsist exclusively upon at least, has deteriorated sadly of late years, beaus and penwipers.
