VERSE WORTH READING.

The Well Ordered Day.! How shall the day be ordered? To the sage The young man spoke. And this was his reply: --v y A morning prayer. A moment with thy God who sends the dawn - Up from the east; to thank Him for the care .That 'kept Uiee through the night; to give thy soul. With faith serene, to His complete control; To ask His guidance still along the way. So starts the day. • A busy day. Do with a will the task that lies before So much there is for every man to do, And soon the night when man can work no more. And none but he to life’s behest is true Who work- with seal and pauses only v when * He stretche* forth his hand to help the men Who fall or fall beside him on the way, So runs thfe day. A merry evening, When toll is done, then banished be the care That frets the soul. With loved ones by r . the hearth The evening hour belongs to joy and mirth; To lighter things that make life fresh and fair For honest work has earned its hour of play. - So ends the day. —John Clair Minot In the Independent.
