e Dare to be yourselves, to thinl

.W Dare to be yourselves, to think
your own thoughts, and to think out
the thing that is in you. You may
possibly make mistakes-very likely
you will-all men are liable to that;
but better be mistaken occasionally,
than not to think at all. Better ad-
vance, though at the risk of making
a false motion, than stand forever still.
Better through many blunders attain
to the right and the true, than remain
always where and what you are. If
there is one man more detestable than
another, it is he who waits to know
how the wind of public opinion blows
before he dare give utterance to his own
thoughts, and refuses to stir step be-
fore he can do so with perfect safety to
his reputation and his purse. For
what were we made !? That we might
follow each other like sill sheep-have
our individuality cyrushed out of us
by being pressed into common mould?
| think not The Creator was not so
deficient in contrivance that he must
fashion us all after the same pattern,
and we honor Him and fulfill his pur-
pose, not by slavishly copying our
neighbors, but by daring to be our
selvs.
But to act hastily on passing i'm
pulse-to give utterance to crude
and ill-digested fancy-dogmatically
to assert an opinion which you have
not had time to weigh, and which, ere
an hour has passed, you may see reason
to renounce-that is not to dare to be
yourselves, not to foster your own indi-
viduality. That opinion which you
utter so strongly is no part of your
self. You have not weighed it suffi-
ciently to make it yours. The con-
victions which should be uttered and
acted on are not slight and evanescent
impressions, but convictions which are
the result Of careful and deliberate
thought, convictions which grow upon
you, and demand utterance, if you
would be faithful to yourselves.

Blue eyes Behind Veil...A Story for the
Married ones.

Mr. Edge was late.at breakfast-that
was not an unusual occurrence-and he
was little disposed to be cross-which
was likewise nothing new. So he re-
tired behind his newspaper and de-
voured his eggs and toast without
vouchsafing any reply, save unsociable
monosyllables to the gentle remarks of
the fresh looking little lady opposite,
to-wit: Mrs. Edge. But she was gath
ering together her forces for the grand
final onslaught, and when at length Mr..
Edge had got down to the last para
graph, and laid aside the reading sheet,
it came nc

Woman.

Place her among flowers, foster her
as a tender plant and she is thing of
fancy, waywardness, and sometimes
folly. Annoyed by dew-drop, fretted
by the touch of butterfy's wing and
ready to faint at the rustic of a beetle;
the zephyrs are too rough, the shad-
ows are too heavy for her, and she is
overpowered by the perfume of rose
bud. But let real calamity come-rouse
her affections-kindle the fires of her
heart, and mark her then! How her
heart strengthens itself, how strong is
her purpose Place her in the heat of
battle-give her child, bird d-any-
thing she loves or pities, to protect,
and see her white arms as shield,
while her own blood crimsons to her
upturned forehead, praying for life TO
protect the helpless.
Transplant her to the dark place of
earth-awaken her energies to action,
and her breath becomes a healing, her
presence a blessing. She disputes,
inch by inch, the strides of stalking
pestilence when man, the strong and
brave. shrinks away affrighted, misfor-
tune daunts her not; she wears away a
life of silent endurance, and goes forth,
with less timidity than to her bridal.
In prosperity, she is bud full of odors,
waiting but for the winds of adversely,
to scatter them abroad-pure gold
valuable, but untried in the furnace.
In short, woman is miracle, a mys-
terry; the centre from which radiates
the great charm of existence.
