Trouble Borrowers.

There's many a trouble Would break like a bubble, And into the waters of Lethe depart, Did we not rehearse it, And tenderly nurse it, And gave it a permanent place in the heart. There's many a sorrow Would vanish to-morrow, Were we but willing to furnish the wings ; So sadly intruding And quietly brooding, It hatches out all sorts of horrible tilings. How welcome the seeming Of looks that are beaming, Whether one's wealthy or whether one's poor Eyes bright as a berry, Cheeks red as a cherry, The groan and the curse and the heartaohe can cure. -Resolve to be merry, All worry to ferry, Across the famed waters that bid us forget, And no longer fearful, But be happy and cheerful, We feel life has much that's worth living for yet. — Tinsleifs Magazine.

A Contjcmporaky says that by a recent analysis of tobacco -smoke, MM. G. L« Bon and G. Noel hava extracted bottles of— (1) Prussic aoid ; (2) an alkaloid of an agreeable odour, but dangerous to breathe, and as poisonous ag nicotine, since one-twentieth of a drop destroys animal life ; (3) aromatic principles, which are ts yet undetermined, but which contribute, with the alkaloid, to give the smoke its prefume. The alkaloid appears to be identical with collidine, which ha 3 been observed in the distillation of many organic substances, but its physiological and poisonous properties have been hitherto unknown.

A cbetain amount of opposition is a great help to a man ; kites rise against the wind ana not with the wind ; even a hard wind is better than none. No man ever worked his passage anywhere in n dead calm. Let no man wax pale, therefore, because of opposition ; opposition is what he wants and must have, to be good for anything. Hardship is tho native soil of manhood and self-reliance. He who cannot abide the storm without flinching lies by the wayside to be overlooked or forgotten. — Exchange.
