We are generally losers in the end,
if we stop to refute all the back-bit-
tings and gossipings we may hear by
the way. They are annoying, It IS
true, but not dangerous, so long as ne
do not stop to ezpostulate and seold.
Our characters are formed and sdstsih-
ed by ourselves, by our own Ections
and purposes, and not by others Al
ways bear in mind that calumniatOrs
may usually be trtsted to time and.
the slo@ but steady justice Of public
opinion.

How Ramsay Paid HIS Rent

Wit is sometimes worth money, but
it is quite essential to have a good ma
tured customer to deal with.
When Allan Ramsay, the great
Scotch poet, began life, he was so poor
that he could not meet his first years
reett. After it becalsv due he met his
landlord, anu explained circumstances,
and expressed his distress at his failure
to meet his obligations. The jolly
landlord was quite kind to him, sand
said that as he was a lad of genius he
would give him a chance to cancel his
debt without shilling "If," sald
the creditors "youIl give me rhym-
ing answer TO four questions, in as
many minutes, I'll quit you the rent
altogether" Allan said he would try.
The questions were :-"What does
God love? What does the devil love ?
What does the world love ? What do
l love ?"
