| bors of the week be ended, and then for a
| respite from toil--a release from the six
| linked chain which has held us prisoners
| long enough. Worker. waiter and watcher.
SIT down with us for moment. We have
| one night less to talk with Won. to hold
converse with earthly friends. One week /:
| another Saturday night nearer the golden
| streets OF the dark ravlnel One week
nearer opening the envelope which will
hltve therein a prize or u blank, as we
choose the while. All these prizes are of
Our own choosing. There Ia no law com
polling II man to be miserable or friend
less unless II be law of his own making.
The weeks shorten as we hasten on to open
the wOndrOus door which closes upon us
but once. We can make the road pleasant
or gloomy as we choose. We can preserve
. the purity of our hearts or darken the acts
I of our lives as we see flt, and ours will be
the reward. -r
How much a week has brought about.
How bright have been the DAYS since last
saturday night for some how dark and Bit
ter TO others. We saw to-day weeping
mother in the city of the dead. The tears
fell thick and fast upon little grave no
longer than our arm. But that little hill
lpck is the door through which she can
enter heaven and regain her lost idol One
week since the now weeping heart-broken
mother was u singing, happy mother. We
knew her years ago, before the duties of 2
new responsibility were hers To bear--Nc
knew her weeks ago rs she pressed the lit
tie one, to her heart, we see her now, as
yesterday, in tears and sorrow, and we see
her tonight looking in little drawers,
poxes and secret places for trines Of last
Eeek-now the most priced of all relics of
the past,

Not long since we were the guest of
frank, open-laced, generous man. The
white hairs had found home with him,
Once he was poor, a laboring man as are
You and us. He toiled manfully and lived
within his means. He saved his earnings,
not as miser saves, but to beautify and
make pleasant the home where he alone
looked for happiness. Little by little us
the Saturday nights went by, falling like
rose leaves into the lap OF Gop he took !

grave of time. Still he toiled, saved, was
happy and made others happy around him.
Books paintings, music, luxury, and hap

And there were others who began life
with him of whom we write. Chances
We're the same, but Others spent their nights
and their earnings in useless dissipation,
while he saved. Their homes are still uncar-
peted and pictureless. Their faces are old and
wrinkled,and their step tottering. The home
