SQUANDERED LIVES.
fisherman v a d « ! In the aurge«|
The sailor Balls over the sea;
The soldier steps bravely to battle!
The woodman lays axe to the tree.
They are each of the breed of the he
roes.
The manhood attempered In strife;
Ctrong hands that go lightly to labor.
True hearts that take comfort In
life.
In each Is the seed to replenish
The world with the vigor It needs—
The center of honest affections,
The Impulse to generous deeds.
Hut the shark drinks the blood of the

The sailor Is dropped In the sea;
The soldier lies cold by his cannon;
The woodman 1s crushed by his

Nlcodeinus sighed dolefully. “ I sup

“ You hadn’t finished what you were

Margherlta.
" I — I think so,” said Nlcodemus. " I

"T ell me what?" asked the young

"Then It wasn't because you really

“ It was weighing on your

formed and you wanted to have done

though, I shouldn’t have felt you were
neglecting me."
“ You don't understand," said Nico

about you. I've lost my appetite en

“ Makes what all the harder?" asked
Margherlta.
“ Being refused,” said Nlcodemus.
"Still, I don’t want you to feel ban

get over It very soon. I do sometimes,
you know— generally, as a matter of
fact. And you aren't a bit to blame.
You’ve been as sweet as could be to
me and you've never given me any

"Sham eful!” commented Margherlta

'I have proposed to as many as

You're the last."
“ I hope so,” said Margherlta. " I ’ll
try to see to It that you don’t.”
“ It will be very kind of you,” said
Nlcodemus, absent-mindedly.
"N ick,”

Margherlta, "what

“ They all do,” said Nlcodemus
“ What could you do? You couldn’t

“ I hate to have people settle for

"Love.”
But wa3 that new?
The Oold Testament had ever bidden
men to love, but this was a new love.
The old love had been "as yourself.’’
The new love was to be "better than
yourself." Now men were to love with
a love like Christ’s, unselfish, everlast
ing, and only by such love would men
accredit themselves as H U dUclples
