WHEN ALL THE WORLD IS YOUNG.

When all the world is young, lad,And all the trees are green.

And every goose a swan, lad.And every lass a queen ,

Then hey for hoot and horse, lad,And round the world away ,

Young blood must have its course, lad, And every dog his day.

When all the world is old, lad,And all the trees are brown ,

And all the sport is stale, lad,And all the wheels run down ;

Creep home and take your plane there. The spent and maimed among.

God grant you find one taoe there 1 You loved when yon was young.

In rank, so far as population is concerned, the chief republics stand thus: The United States, France. Brazil, Mexico. After these looi, there stand Argentina, Colombia, and Chili in South America, anti Switzerland in Europe When wc come to the republics of Central America vre observe that the popu­lation of the whole five of them is less than that of the enlarge 1 city of New York

Brazil is far ahead of Mexico both in tho size of its territory and in the number of itr iuhabitrnts. Brazil’s population is now over IS,000,000, while Mexico’s is 12,000,000. The area of Brazil is more than four t i mes as great as that Mexico. As to the relative importance of the commer­cial interest of the two countries, Mexico is in advance of Brazil.

Bible B rilliants,

For many deceivers are entered into tho world.—II. John i, 7.

When Isaid, my footslippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, he! 1 ineup.— Psalms

But tho Lord is my defence; and my God is tue rock of my refuge.— Psalm xciv, 22.

And every man that etriveth for the mastery is temperate in all things.— I. Corinthians ix, 25.

As the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is tho laughter of the fool. Ecclesiastes vii, 0.

My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless tho Lord.—Psalm xxvi, 12.

Unless the Lord had been my help, my sonl had almost dwelt in silence—Fsalm xciv, 17.

All the paths of tho Lord are mer­cy and truth onto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies,

Ye shall have one ordinance, both for tho stranger and for him that was born in the land.—Nurn. ix, 11.

Remember not tho sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: ac­cording to thy mercy remember thou mo for thy goodnoss’ sake, O Lord.

When ye go, ye shall come unto a. people secure, and to a large laud : for God hath given it into your hands; a place where there is no want of anything that is in the earth.—Judges xviii, 10.

Thoy are upright as tho palm tree, but speak not: they needs bo borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of then; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.—Jeremiah x, 5. •

Then hear thou thoir prayer and their supplication .n heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain thoir cause, and forgivo thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against the.:, and give them compassion.—I. Kings, viii, 49-50.

Dtjal Offic e-Holding—There is a provision in the United States statutes that no officer of the army on the active list shall hold any civil office, whether by election or ap­pointment, and every snob officer who accepts or oxereises the func­tions of a civil office shall thereby cease to be an officer of tho army and bis commission shall thereby be vacated.

The statute is wise. If it were not in operation there would be scandalous misuse of the appointing power at Washington. Tho attor­ney-general has decided that the statute does not apply to officers in the volunteer army, wherefore thoy may continue to draw two salaries if they are on two pay-rolls. The attorney-general may be technically correct, but, morally, an officer of volunteers who would accept pay from both sources is doing wrong, notwithstanding the statute.

General Joe Wheeler of Alabama, major-general by commission of the President, has not resigned his seat in Congress. In fairness to the people of the district that elected him ho ought to do so, or else resign his commission r.s major-general.— [Chicago Chronicle.

Tho beautiful old war-tiine song,“ Let Mo Kiss Him for His Mother,” was born of an incident in a hospital filled with the wounded and dying, strangers in a strange land, who had left happy homes and loving friends to achieve victory or moot death on tho field of battle. Among tho dying was a fair-haired youth, moro boy, whose beautiful eyes looked far away into a new world, whoso lips wore a pleasing smile and whispered tho word “mothor.” Thero was nothing that geutlo hands, medical sir.il or loving hearts could do to stay in this world the soul of that gentle boy, so far away from his old homo and tho dear ono to whom his thoughts had wandered; but a saintly woman stand­ing by, sweet-faced and soulful, full of love and motherly instict, stooped over the boy’s couch, saying a9 if sending a message to heaven by the angel death wating to boar away the poor boy's soul., “Let me kiss him for bis mothor.” And with that tender kiss on his lips tho fair boy died hap­py, falling into the long sleep that knew no waking as calmly and peace­fully as when, in other days, ho had fallen asleep iu his own little bod, and his own dear mother had bent over him and kissed him good-night.
