_- x~» PADDLE YOUR OWN Ci&OE. BY JIKS SABAH T. BOLTON. Voyager upon the sea, To yourself be true, And where'er your lot may be, Faddle your own canoe. Never, though the winds may rave, Falter oflopk back; But upon ihe darkest wave, Leave a shining track. Nobly dure the wildest storm, Stem the hardest gale, Brave of heart and strong of arm You will never fail; When the world is cold and dark, Keep your aim in view, And toward the beacon-rqtirk, Paddle your own caooC. / Every wave that bears you on, To the silent shore, Erotn its sunny source is gone To return no more. Then let not an hour'B delay Cheat you of your due, But, while it is called to-day, Paddle your own canoe If your birth denied your wealth, Lofty state and power, Honest fame and hardy health Are a better dower. But if these will not suffice, Golden gain pursue ; And to gain the glittering nri|e^ Ptaj^e your own canoe. •^ !s - WouWyou crush the giant wrong, In the world's free fight, With a spirit hrave and strong, Batt e for the right. And to bre»k the chains th^t bind,The many to the few — To enfranchise ("lavish mindPaddle your own canoe. Nothing great is lightly won, Nothing won is loft; Every good deed, nobly done, Will repay the cost. Leave to heaven in humble trust, All you will to do; But if you succeed, yon jnust Paddle your own caripe. * The Ironmonger says: — We regret to Snd it necessary to cautiotV our readers against taking spurious gold coin, as it appears that the usual tests of musical ring, milled edge, or. even weight, are no longer reliable testa. That "all is not gold that glitters" is noifclearly demonstrated, for scientific i roguery has now ao far advanced that tokens of plajinum. alloy are being produced so exactly resembling the precious mefal so as to deceive tbe most (careful and experienced business^menV** So close, indeed,' is the imitation that a specimen taken recently by a^SLondon tradesman was only suspected on clipping the edge, and specimens being shown, to the officials at the Bank of England, were put through the ordinary tests, and admitted to be perfect in form and weight. The discovery is anything but pleasant, and the naturak question arises — how are we to guardvagafpat such scientific smashing. \ ' (For remainder of News see fourt/(pag<b§\ NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
