You ask mo, wondering why I sing,

And why my lips in laughter part; The ripples of my mirth all spring

From the deep sorrow at my hoart.

THE GREAT WALKING MATCH.

Weston on tunday morning was as well Bs Ever, and went out for a walk as if nothing had happened. O'Leary, however, was obliged to keep to the sofa-one foot being badly blistered on the heel, where a little matter had collected while the other foot had a bad corn, or rather patch of hard akin, which was gradually reduced by the application of sand-paper. Crossland, who is generally considered the best English pedestrian, han issued a challenge to walk O'Leary for a six days match for £1,000 a side. Should a date not much later than Whitsuntide be fixed, O'Leary will probably

CHINESE MAXIMS.

It is the rich who want most things, Towers are measured by their shadow, and great men by those who are envious of

them,

We must do quickly what there is no burry for, to be able to do slowly what demands haste.

He who wishes to secure the good of others, has already secured his own.

The coari is like the sea-everything depends on the wind.

What a pleasure it is to give! There would be no rich people if they were capable of feeling this.

When a song gives much fame, virtue gives very little.

For him who does everything in ite pro- per time, one day is worth threo.

The way to glory is through the palace; to fortune through the market; to virtue through the desert.

The truths that we least wish to hear are those which it is most to our advantage to know.-Hural New Yorker.
