YOUTH AND HOPE 
O, YOUNG heart*, dancing lo the rise and fall 
Of life's most winsome tune at festival, 
Looking on your new world wherein ye move 
With all the large, sweet wonder of young love, 
The moments thronging with the life of years; 
Crowded with hajipIncM. and quick to tears; 
New smiles of greeting tu each minute's face; 
New worlds of pleasure brimming every space; 
This is no winter-weathered earth to you. 
Love comes, and life is deiOed anew ! 
And heart* grow larger than their fortunes are. 
The horizon lifts around, sunlime and far. 
With God-like breathing-space—an ample scope 
For loftier life, and glorious ground for hope.

In Notes from Nineveh there are some 
curious things related, not the least curious 
of which is the following, illustrating an 
ingenious solution of a puzzling problem: 
A cerlain merchant left in his bust will and 
testament seventeen horses to he divided 
among his three sons, according to the fol¬ 
lowing proportions, namely: The first was 
to receive one-half, the second one-third, and 
the youngest a ninth part of the whole. But 
when they came to arrange about the 
division, it was found that to comply with 
the terms of the will, without sacrificing one 
or more of the animals, was impossible. 
Puzzled in the extreme, they repaired to 
the “ Cadi,” who, having read the will, 
charged that such a difficult question re¬ 
quired time lor deliberation, and recommend¬ 
ed them to return in two days. When they 
agtiiu made their appearance, the judgesaid: 
“I have considered your case, and find that 
I can make such a division of the seventeen 
horses among you as will give each more 
than his strict share and yet not one of the 
animals shall be injured. Are you content?” 
“ We are, O Cadi!” was the reply. 
“ Bring forth the seventeen horses, and let 
. them be placed in the court,” said the Cadi. 
The animals were brought in, and the 
Cadi ordered the groom to place Ids own 
\ horse with them. He then bade the eldest 
brother count the horses. 
“ There are eighteen in number, O Cadi!” 
^ he said. 
q. “I will now make the division," responded
