The measure of our days.
1 In all our walk, In all our ways, " '
Think not the measure of oar days
la ganged by figures and by roles,
As erst was taught ns in the schools;
. But, as we help a brother's needs
Br noble acts and generous deeds, '
By giving comfort where we may.
By lighting np a mourner's war:
The sum of means that we emplor '
To torn a fellow's ills to Joy
- This is the measure of oar days.
A veteran in the wars of life,
A prisoned soldier in the strife
Of sonl with Btlngry. carious Time
Is he who makes his actions rhyme
To universal brotherhood.
Though long or short hath been his road.
Centuries or decades his abode
- Among his kind, it matters least
So fellows by him have been blest.
: Els life is measured by his plan
Of dealing with his fellow man.
- This is the measure of his days. -
And much methinka of time he gains.
For all his labors, all his pains.
For reaching outward far and near -To
succor want and shelter fear.
No stingr paddock hems him in,-
- To mean desires and groveling sin. .
A widow's blessing him avails, "
An orphan's prayer some good
- While stretching outward over man
He converse holds with Nature's plan.
And solving life's deep mysteries, -He
grasps eternal verities.
This is the measure of his days.

no social intercourse and I used to sit
on the steps and imagine the rivalry in

would be if they were made to exchange

fact may be, it is nevertheless
artificial; mineral coloring

fold. . It not only makes the
tea a bright, shiny green, bat also permits the
Kb of " off-color " and worthless teas, which,

worked off as a good quality of tea. .
An eminent authority writes on this sub- .
ect: The manipulation of poor teas, to give
them sflner appearance, is carried on exten

popular, are produced to meet the
