Things That We Know.

THINGS THAT WE KNOW .

WE know that light rays paint the flowers . We know that richly-fruited bowers Are grown of thrifty soil and timely rain and genial sun . We know that autumn ' s glory floods The ripening fields and golden woods When earth and sky in harmony their proper tasks have done .

We know that truth , in word aud deed , Our highest happiness will feed . We know that justice to our neighbour will re-acfc in joy .

We know that purity is peace . We know that honour gives release From scourging pain—that conscience clean is gold without alloy .

We know that kindnesa brings content—That love on an errand sent , Like a faithful gleaner , will come again with boanteou 3 sheaves . We know that beauty in the mind , All beauty in the earth will find . We know that purpose good and true a royal chapter weavse .

We know that charity is gain . We know that selfishness is vain—That miser-heart and misery are cause and oonsequenoo . We know that gen ' rouB toil eaoh day Puts musio in the sun ' s bright ray , Till the toiler feels his kinship with God ' s benevolence .

We know that listless idleness Bring * fretfalness and weariness . We know that laok of purpose wastes the brain and soars the heart .

We know that life ii a success When our fixed purpose is to bless—When , with titan-stroke or child-stroke , wo strive to do our part . Freemasons Repository .

Things That We Know.

Certain statements which have been made in various quarters respecting Mr . Edward Terry ' s prospective arrangements are likely to prove misleading . Mr . Pinero's excellent Comedy " The Times" is as popular as ever , and the advance booking is so good that there ia no doubt of its running up to the termination of the season , woioh will he about the end of June . On 18 th July Mr . Terry is pledged

to start on a provincial tour , which will last ten or twelve weeks but it is bis present intention to resume the run of " The Timer "' on his return to town in the autumn . Therefore it is not likely that another piece will be required before November , at the earliest . When this occasion arrives , it will be found that Mr . Terry ' s next

production is from the pen of a well-known authoress , whila the popular comedian will appear as collaborator . The paragraphs abont Mr . Walter Frith ' s new play are just a little " precocious , " as , owing to the above arrangements , it may not be seen before Christmas , or early in 1893 .
