THE THREE GRACES.

Faith, Hope, and Charity, Abide these three; Heacons to the wanderer On life's troubled sea. Faith, Hope and Charity, The bridge of Time, On whose rainbow arch Heavenward we climb. Faith, Hope, and Charity, These are the three: Faith, a flower; Hope, a star; God's smile—Charity! —"Polyanthus." @ ® ©

LET DOGS DELIGHT

Let dogs delight to bark and bite. For God has made them so ; Let bears and lions growJ and fight, For 'tis their nature, too. But, children, you should never let Your angry passions rise, Your little hands were never made To tear each other's eyes. Let love through all your actions run," And all your words be mild, Live like the Blessed Virgin's Son, That sweet and lovely Child. His soul was gentle as a lamb, And, as His stature grew, He grew in favour, both with man And God His Father, too. Now, Lord of I 'all, He reigns above, And from His heavenly throne * He sees "what children dwell in love, And marks them for His own. By Dr. Isaac Watts. $ © © Acting is a matter of hard work. It is the most difficult kind of work because it entails physical strength, infinite patience, the greatest care .of health, the utmost restraint in dissipation. Above all, it alienates from all other interests that are. usually a past of. the average experience. The actor's job is a continuous study;—Otis Skinner;
