The WILL AND THE WAY.-I learned
grammar when I was a private soldier,
on the pay of sixpence day. The edge
of my berth, or that of my guard-bed,
was my seat to study in; my knapsack
my bookcase, and bit of board lying on
my lap was my writing table. had no
money to purchase candle or oil; in
winter it was rarely that I could get any
light but the fire, and only my turn even
Of thai. had not moment of time that
| could call my own; and I had to read
and write amid the talking, laughing,
singing, whistling, and brawling of at
least half a score of the most reckless
men-and that, too, in their hours of
freedom from all control. And I say, If
I, under these circumstances, could en-
counter and overcome the task-is there,
can there be, in the whole world, a youth
who can find an excuse for the non-per-
formance.- Goblet.

90 Thackeray says woman's heart
is just like lithographer's sstone-what is
once written on it can't be rubbed out.
That is so. Let an heiress once fix her
affections on a stable boy, and all the
preaching in the world cannot get her heart
above oat-boxes and curry-combs. What
is written on her heart can't be rubbed
out. The fact shows itself, not only in
love but in religion. Men change their
Gods dozen times, woman never.
To convert a sister of Charity to Meth
odism would require greater amount of
power than you would need to overturn
the pyramids.
