THE MAIDEN'S PSALM OF LIFE. • Tell us not m idle jingle " Marriage ia an empty dream," For the girl ia dead that's single, And things are not what they seem. Life is real 1 Life is earnest t Single bleßsedneas a fib ; " Man thou art to man returnest," Hbb been spoken of the rib. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way, But to act that eaoh to-morrow Finds us nearer marriage day. Life ia long and youth ib fleeting, And our hoarts, though light and gay, Still like pleasant drums are beating Wedding marches all the way. In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb driven cattle ! Be a heroine— a wife. Trust no future, howe'er pleasant ; Let the dead Past bury its dead I Aot— aot to the living Present 1 Love within, and hope ahead 1 Lives oi married folks remind ue We oan live our liveß as well. And, departing, leave behind us Suoh examples as shall " tell." Suoh examples that another, Wasting time m idle sport, A forlorn unmarried brother, Seeing, shall take hear and court. Let us then be up and doing, With a heart on triumph set ; Still contriving, still pursuing, And eaoh one a husband get. ■ m Auctions. SATURDAY, 16th JULY, 1887.
