CHRISTIAN EGoTtsTs. of the most
d sagreeable parsons that you meet in the world
are those Christian people that are considering
everything in the universe from the stand point
Of their own culture One of the most blessed
things in this world is to be unconscious Of
self, and conscious only Of God, the eternal
sphere and the great truths Of the divine gov
ernment and human life. Happy is he before
whom these things are so eminent that his
own conscious self Is gone. And yet how many
well meaning persons there are who are forev-

UNIVERSAL DISSATISFACTION. How often
do we see persons who wish to be taken for
what they are not The boys apes the man
with cane and cigar; the man affects the ways
of boyhOod The sailor envies the landsman' S
lot; the landsman for pleasure, goes to sea-
The business man who must travel from town
to town, and from country to country, dreams
of the day when he will be able to settle
down." the man of sedentary occupation
grieves over the thought that he has to vege-
tate like cabbage in one spot and sighs for
the time when he may travel. The town bred
youth halls with joy the morning in which he
can breathe pure air and ramble among green
fields the country lad is all wonder and admi-
ration when he first sees the rows of town
gas lamps tapering away in perspective like
beads of gold and he is excited by the blaze
of gas which pours from The windows on the
road. Your fine musician would like to be a
great painter your wit digni6ed philosopher,
your philosopher wit, able to set the table in
roar. Even an oyster would wish to put
forth fins and have fine, flexible tail, and sail
abroad to see the world; while the travelled
fish looks with an eye of envy upon the oyster
as one who lives without work-a fish of iude
dendent means, who has got fixed position
and n good, strong house of its own.
