•PINK-pOLDNESS. 
TE on your doors the saying wise and old, 
Be bold! be bold!'' and everywhere—“ Be 
bold; 
Be not too bold ! ” Yet better the excess 
Than the defect; better the more than less ; 
Better like Hector in the field to die, 
Than like a perfumed Paris turn and fly. 
Longfellow. 
Palm — ^Sympathy. 
t 7pT E are as harps, that vibrate to a touch 
VA u. From stranger hands, unconscious of the strings; 
While the soul’s slumbering echoes wake to life, 
And through its halls responsive music rings. 
Few are the Davids to these harps of ours ! 
Few learn the cunning of the instrument: 
And those to whom the gift has been denied 
Are oftenest those with whom our lives are 
spent. 
Hamilton Aide.
