About Beginnings.

Did you ever see an engine try to start a
train of cars ? How it pulled and groaned,
and wheezed, just as if the iron horse had
hardly strength enough to pull such pom.
derous load But when he gets fairly un-
der way he goes on merrily for miles and
miles, as if he loved to do it, giving now
and then a defiant snort, as much as to say
-" Who says can't draw "A heavy load ?"
But if he once fairly stops, then there is
all the old trouble over again.
Did you ever take bath on a cold morn.
ing? The water looks so clear and chilly
that you have good mind to let il alone
Just once, and wash when the weather is
milder. The first touch stngs like ice you
shudder and start back as if you were
freezing. But you don't freeze, and az
soon as you begin to rub yourself with a
coarse towel you are all aglow. Your
cheeks are red and your eyes are bright,
and you are mach warmer than when you
stood shivcring, thinking, can't do it.
Does it seem very early sometimes when
tho breakfast bell rings in the morning
You like breakfast, every one of you, but
you don't always like it at the right time
You are very warm and very sleepy, and
the bed seems much more desirable place
than it did last night when you were SO un.
willing to go to it. Just now you are on
the most intimate terms with blankets, and
you can't bear the idea OF parting.
You cannot see to dress for your eyes
are closed, and it seems very hard to keep
them open. But in few minutes they are
wide open and shining, new winter suit
is buttoucd, the tangled hair is smooth, and
the second bell sounds the voice of play
mate, " come Oh boys, we are waiting" The
bed does not look so tempting now, and
you go by it without glance and have no
desire to creep back among its pillows.
Sleep is over and stirring life has begun.
You see from these facts that beginnings
are often hard. The French say, " 1t is the
first step that costs" They mean that it
is much harder to begin than keep on, har-
der to do thing tho first time than the
second or third. But no good job was ever
done without a beginning every happy
day begins by getting up, every clean boy
has bath, every excursion train starts
with strain end puff. Every hive of
honey had first bee who gave half her
breakfast in lucious drop; every fortune
began by saving first dollar that some
body would have been glad TO spend
every noble man was once brave boy, who
began TO do right when it would have been
easier and pleasanter to do wrong. Perse-

" God bless the man who first invented sleep"
So Sancho pauza said. aud So say
And bless him, also, that he didn't keep
HIS great discovery to himself or try
To make it-as the lucky fellow might
A close monopoly by "patent right"
Yes, bless the man who first invented sleep,
Il really can't avoid the iteration y
But blast the man, with curses loud and deep,
Whate'er the rascals name, or age, or station,
Who first invented, and went around advising,
That artificial cutoff early rising
"Risc with the lark. and with the lark to bod

'Tis beautiful to leave the world awhile
For the soft visions of the gentle night;
And free at last from mortal care md guile,
To live, as ouly in the angels sight,
In sleeps sweet realms so closily shut in,
Where, at the worst, we only dream of sin
So let us sleep, and give The Maker praise.
