How TO Now rHr woRLp.--One day a
Philosopher came to Athens, from 4 far country,
to learn the ways of the wonderful Greeks, and
perhaps to leach them the great lore he treas
ured in his heart. The wise men heard him I;
sought his company 10 the gardens; talked with
him in private. The young men loved him. He
passed for a wonder with that wonder-loving
people. Among those that followed him, was
the son Of Sophroniscus, an ill-favored young
man, n mechanic OF humble rank. He was one
Of the few that understood the dark oriental doc
trines of the Sage, when he spoke Of God, Man,
Freedom, Goodness, Of the Life that never dies.
The young man saw these doctrines were prcg-
nant with actions, and would one day work n
revolution in the affairs of men, iisinheriting
many an ancient sin now held legitimate.
SO be said to himself when he saw a man rich
or famous" Oh, that also were rich and fa-
nous, would move the world so soon Here
are sins TO be pucked up, and truths to be plant
ed. Oh, that could do il all, would mend
the world, right soon !"
Yet he did nothing, but wait for wealth and
fame.
One day the Sage heard him complain with
himself, and said =" Young man, thou speakesl
rs silly women. This gospel Of God is writ for
all: LET HIM THAT WOULD MOVE TnE WORLD,
MOVE FIRST uiMsELr. He that would do good
to men, begins wifh what tools God gives him
and gets more as the world gets on. 1t ask.

young man, take il where thou standest, and be
