and Systematically into the class room, in the
most extensive and diversified business train

pied success of the establishment is evidence
of the general preference its students obtain
over those of mere theoretical teachers. Large

unto one place, tha, pebble was there
Who can tell US the story Of those first
days, when the earth was in sore travail,
when her heaving bosom belched forth
torrents of FIRE, vast avalanches Of Kissing,
seething water, and volumes OF deadly
vapors! When glowing blazing streams
of lava threw blood.red glare on the
silent, lifeless earth; and amlds. trem-
bling and laundering that shook the fir
mament, thousand volcanoes at once
Lifted up their fiery heads, when, out OF
the foaming waters, there rose suddenly
the rocky foundations OF firm land, and
greeted the light that God had created ?
That pebble was Life's FIRST offspring on
earth. The spirit Of God moved on the
waters, and life was breathed in the very
gases that were hid in the heart Of vapo-
~ globe. They parted in love; they
parted in hate; they fled and they met.
Atom joined atom; loving sisters kissed
each other; and this love, the great child
Of the Spirit on earth, brought forth its
first fruit, the pebble. DE Vere's Stray

They fritter away their energies On a

never gaining wealth while the aunt,
who keeps to certain circuit around her

they had been passed, by all who had a

Il Fable "A young man once picked
up sovereign lying on the road. Ever
afterwards as he walked along he kept
his eyes fixed steadily upon the ground,
in hopes to find another. And in he
course Of long life he did pick up al
different times goodly number Of coins
gold and silver. But all these years,
while he was looking for them, he saw
not that the heavens we're bright above
him, and nature beautiful around. Re
never once allowed his eyes to look up
from the mud and filth in which he sought
the treasure; and when he dicl--a rlci
old man he only knew this fair earth oil
ours as birth road IN which 70 pick up
money as you walk along.
