THE WILD ROSE. 
Tinted like a sea shell 
With a heart of gold, 
O wild rose! O wild rose! 
You bring me dreams untold. 
The first is of a summer 
‘Spent beside the sea, 
Where many ships 
That touch the sands 
Are laden with 
The rainbow strands 
Of hope, 
A glorious fantasy. 
These bubbles disappear 
With setting sun; 
They are like the 
Wilted rose buds 
Dropping one by one, 
O wild rose! O wild rose! 
When the dream ships 
Come again, 
Will you have them 
Carry love as freight, 
That wailing thousand’s 
May partake 
And live again.

RANDOM THOUGHTS. — 
BY D. F. LAMSON. 
No. XL. 
A joint debate between two colleges 
has been declared off this summer, be- 
cause of ‘‘lack of interest;’?’ when was 
ever a college baseball game or foot ball 
scrimmage postponed for any such rea- 
son? Query. Is ita straw that shows 
which way the wind blows? And what 
are colleges for anyway? 
Emerson says, 
**Tell men what they knew before, 
Paint the prospect from their door;’ 
this, which many think so easy is really 
one of the hardest things to do; it is 
nothing less than opening the eyes to 
what they have often looked upon but 
never seen, revealing truth hidden in 
familiar objects, giving a new interpreta- 
tion to what is trite and threadbare. 
Many things fail to impress us, and even 
to awaken curiosity, simply because we 
know them too well; the most stimulat- 
ing teacher or preacher or poet is he who 
heeds Emerson’s maxim.

A man who makes it his main busi- 
ness in life to be funny, ‘“‘to giggle and 
make giggle,’’ comes at last to the same 
conclusion as that which a certain wise 
man who is considered by many hope- 
lessly behind the age reached long ago, 
“‘the end of that mirth is heaviness.’’ 
Mm mM Mm Mm 
The leading humorist of our country 
for years has lately spoken of ‘‘the hard 
and bitter struggle of life;’’ this may be 
the way that life presents itself to a pro- 
fessional joker of jokes; but if so it isa 
sad commentary on the man’s life; it 
shows that mere fun and nonsense are 
often a mask that hides real discontent 
and unhappiness. We never hear those 
who are living lives of service to their 
fellow-men talking in tones of disappoint- 
ment and complaint; they are not the 
people who hang the heavens in black; 
a John Harvard, a Dwight Moody, an 
Edward Everett Hale, carry their cheer- 
fulness and sunshine to the last. Why 
is it that the comedian and humorist are 
sometimes the saddest of men?

Cheerfulness without levity, sobriety 
without gloom, strictness without auster- 
ity, enjoyment without abuse,—who 
shall show us how to keep the golden 
mean?

Let a man only have imagination 
enough, and he can see the whole world 
and other worlds besides, through a 
window in Thrums,’’ or anywhere 
else, or with no window ,at all; but a 
THE PERFECT CHAUFFEUR. 
Who is the Perfect Chauffeur, who is he 
That every motor man should wish to be? 
*Tis he whose law is reason, who depends 
Upon that law as on the best of friends. 
’Tis he who wisely regulates his speed, 
‘The road for all,’’ the first words of his creed. 
*Tis he who feels it is not sport or just 
To smother others in a cloud of dust, 
But when a straight, clear road before him lies, 
Opens his throttle and along he flies, 
Through peopled places goes a sober pace 
And drives with courtesy in every case. 
This, his plain duty, yet when this is done 
His serious work is just begun. 
A chauffeur needs must be a man of parts, 
Versed in bucolic and domestic arts; 
Cows he must know to drive, and flocks of 
sheep, 
Carters awaken from their slumbers deep, 
Horses convince what folly ’tis to shy, 
Chickens restrain from *neath motor wheels to 
Y5 
Be to each goose philospher and guide, 
Prevent dull dogs committing suicide, 
Make yokels comprehend the rule of road— 
That left is right—so runs our American code. 
To daring schoolboys, babes that stray alone, 
Needs give the care that he would give his own. 
With him it rests to make the deaf man hear, 
Albeit deafen not the churchman’s ear. 
Impress on all this truth profound and deep, 
The public road is not the place to sleep. 
So he drives alert throughout the day,— 
This is the Perfect Chauffeur on life’s highway.

ship must have a rubber and chart: and 
compass, as well as sails, if it is not only 
to ride the waves gracefully, but to keep 
clean of the breakers.

The citizen of Athens who black- 
balled Aristides because he could not bear 
to hear him always called the Just, is the 
type of a class; perhaps it is natural for 
many to dislike to have honor paid to 
other men to which they have no claim 
themselves. Alas, for that poor thing 
we call human nature.

Agitation must come before rest, storm 
before calm, controversy before peace; 
so it was in the early ages of the faith, 
inthe times of the Reformation, in our 
anti-slavery period; the world must of- 
ten be turned upside down before it is 
right side up; when things go on as they 
are for any very long period, we may be 
pretty sure they are not going on right. 
Mm mh MOM : 
We sometimes hear of ‘‘ applied 
christianity ’’ as if it were a new inven- 
tion or discovery or improved variety; 
but must not all religion be applied re- 
ligion, if it is at all true to the purpose 
and plan of its Founder? Must it not 
be recognized as a power and every day 
reality in the mart and exchange as_ well 
as in the individual life?
