THE BRIDLE-.Don't 60 without bride,
boys" was my grand fathers fayorite bit Of
advice.
Do you suppose we were all teamsters OF
horse Jockeys? No such thing.
If he had heard one cursing and swearing
or given to much vain and foolish talk, "that
man has lost his bridle," he would say, with
out bride, the tongue, though little mem
ber "boasteth great things" It's ian unru.
" evil, full Of deadly poison" Put bride
on, and 1t is one of the best servants the body
and soul have Il will keep my mouth with
bridle," said king David, and we can't do bet.
ter than follow his example.
When my grand father saw man drinking
and carousing or a lazy boy spending all his
money for cakes and candy, spoor fellow, he
would say, .she's left off his bridle.' The APP
petite needs training, let it loose, and it will
run you to gluttony, drunkenness, and all sorts
Of disorders Be sure and keep bride on
your appetites; don't lett be master; and don't
neglect to have one for your passions. They
60 mad if they get unmanageabe, driving you
down blind and heading course to ruin
Keep the check-ren tight; don't let it slip
hold it steady-Never go without your bride,
boys,
This was the bride my grand father meant
the bride of self-government. Parents try
to restrain and check their children, and you
can generally tell by their behavior what chill
dren have such wise and faithful parents. But
parents cannot do every thing. And some
children have no parents to care for item
Every boy must have his own bride, and ev-
cry girl must have hers; they must learn to
check and govern themselves. Self-govern-
ment is the most difficult and the most impor-
tant government in the world. 1t becomes ca
sier every day, if you practice it with steady
and resolute will. II is the foundation of ex-
cellence. 1t is the cutting and pruning which
makes the noble and vigorous tree Of character.
The legendary tale Of St. Patrick having
banished from ireland all venomous reptiles
is founded on the fact Of his having found SER
penis scuptured on all the pagan crosses,
which existed in great numbers at the time Of
his arrival there, and as they were objects of
reverence to the Irish, because of the pas
sions which they symbolized, the Saint, in order
to prevent the recurrence OF such contempla-
tons, effaced them as far as practicable from
the stones No other kind ever existed there,
for Solinus, who fourished about two centu-
ries before st. Patrick was born, noticed the
phenomenon of there being no vipers there,
which fact Isidore repeated in the seventh cen
fury; Bede in the eighth, and TIL famous
bishop Donabus in the ninth.
The happiest man in the world is the man
with just wealth enough to keep him in spirits,
and just children enough to make him indus
trious
The improving man may start in life with
great stock Of conceit, but it grows less and
less as his knowledge increases
