TOPICS OF THE DAY.
TO-MORROW'S TANGLE. (By WALT MASON.) "To-morrow's tangle to the winds resign," old Omar said, and thus in ono brief line, set forth moro wisdom than most poets spring in all tho years through which they live and sing. With present griefs man fearlessly combats; ho pulls their oars and kicks them in tho slats; and, like a knight in armour gone afield, ho quite enjoys the tilting that they yield. But, having whipped the dragons of to-day, with manner bold and debonair and gay, ho feels tho ardour in his breast expire; '"' To-morrow's dragons and chimeras dire," ho mutters low, "will seizo mo by the throat, remove my scalp and bear away my goat." Tomorrow's dragons may be one inch tall; to-morrow's troubles may not como at all.' If you to-day havo fought a goodly fight, forget your fears, and sleep in peaco to-night, and when you wake tho good old sun will shine; tomorrow's tanglo to the winds resign.
