You can by a blow crush and destroy the
conscience, or you can nibb,e and gnaw Ii to
pieces There Is one way In which Hon
strikes down his prey, and there IL another
way In which a rat comes at his prey and
all the time the guaw Of the yermln Is as fatal
to life itself IA the stroke OF q Hons paw,
These little infdcllties 10 duty, truth and rec
titudo lower the moral tone, limit its range,
destroy lis feasibility. In short, they put out

TRY for single day, I bcscech you, 10 pre-
serve yourself In IN easy and cheerful frame
Of mind. Then compare tho day In which you
have rooted out the weed of dissatisfaction

10 every good motive, your life strengthened,
and your breast armed with apanoply against
every trick OF fate.
THE lark mounts singing, and with almost
every stroke OF his happy wing adds new
note to his morning carol. The eagle mounts
silent In his sunward sweep. But Il " neither
the song nor the silence, but the patient and
yalorous plnlon that marks them both rs the
birds of the upper air. go II Ia neither singing
Joy nor its absence that forms any true test OF
our upward progress IN the Christian life, but
patient continuance In well-doing."
Bur, after all, | am not sorry that have
been imposed upon, and that | have trusted

am not sorry that have been dupcd. II falls
out from an abundance Of generous feeling.
Il " the mistake Of a disposition that think
Il Il n great deal better To have, with all the
imposition which II suffers, than that kind OF
cold cat ton which prevents you ycuturing
anything on the side Of kindness, because you
always want TO DO saie.--Beccher.
Mucn that Is most characteristic in the In

Let him be consumed by a-rayeuous greed
let him be tho slave Of groyeling lust; lei
him nurse his reaentments Into snllen hate
and wear the nettles OF his irritating cnVie,
against his heart, and, In q cruel and con
sumlng ambition, crush down the gcherOu
Instincts OF affection and charity, and tn,

In spite Of his personal cOmcliness and mos
careful cOnccalmcnts.
A SHORT time ago q Presbyterian pastor Of
Chicago, as we are informed by one of the
journals Of that city, declined an offered ad.
