BEAUTIFUL YHoUGHT-A
writer whose life has passed its
meridian, thus eloquently dis
courses upon the speedy fight
of time:
Forty years once seemed a
long and wearisome pilgrimage
to make. 1t now seems but a
step, and yet along the way are
broken shrines, where a thou
sand hopes have wasted into
ashes; footprints sacred under
their drifting dust, green
mounds, where the grass is
fresh with the watering of tears;
shadows even in which we
should not forget, We will
garner the sunshine of those
years, and with chastened steps
and hope push on toward the
twilight where the waters are
still, and the storms never
beat"

e- The weak man is con-
tinually futtering between sus-
picion about the conduct of
others, and surprised even if
his suspicious are verified. The
wise man is less troubled by
suspicious, and has read too
much and seen too much, to
be greatly surprised at any
thing when it comes. It is
strange that the experience of
SO many ages should not make
US judge more solidly of the
present and of the future, so as
to take proper measures in the
one for the other. We dote
upon this world as fit were
never to have an end, and we
neglect the next as if it were
never to have a beginning.

WHAT Is FE?-The mere
lapse of years is not life. To
eat, and drink, and sleep-to
be exposed to darkness and the
light-to pace round in the
mill ofhabit, and turn thought
into an implement of trade
this is not life. In all this but
a poor fraction of the conscious
ness of humanity is awakened,
and the sanctities still slum-
Der which make it worth while
while to be. knowledge, truth,
love, beauty, goodness, faith,
alone can give vitality to the
mechanism of existence. The
laugh of mirth that vibrates
through the heart-the tears
that freshen the dry wastes
within-the music that brings
childhood back--the prayer
that calls the future Gcar-the
doubt which makes US meGI-
tate-the death which startles
us with mystery-the hard
ships which forces us to strug-
gle-the anxiety that ends il
trust-are the true nourish.
