clouds and sunshine.

10 is generally understood that tile
life of every individual is made up of
alternate sunshine and clouds Of
bright, cheerful, Joyous experiences,
and dark. gloomy, sad,leIing events,
following each other in rapid success
sion, and giving strange colOring to
this mortal state Of existence. The
relative pFOpOFtion of sunshine to
ClOud, however, dependSupQn q nail
tiplicity Of circumstance. We often
hear il said that this world is just as
each individual sees fit to make it.
This is only true in a limited sense.
Every persOm can do much toward
making himself happy or Othsrwise,
vet there are numberless instaHees In
which ones life is embittereii .Ly adj
verse circumstances entirely beyond
his control. However serene and
cheerful may lie the natural dispOsi-
ton, outward circumstance will in
eVitably produce an effect upon the
heart; and as we are placed amid IA
vOrable or unfavOTabie surroundings
we are likely to be happy OF misera-
bic. Whether the thought be agreea-
be or not, there is no uae in denying
the fact that we are all victims Of cir
cumstances. Our purest thoughts are
often bIunted by tile eOaTseness OF pIr-
SONS with whom we are compelled II
come i'm contact; our nOblest desireS
are Overslaughed by the unmanly and
unwOmanly sneers Of the selfish mul-
titude; our gFandest schemes are
thwarted by the skillfully devised
cOunter-plans Of remOrseles5 cormo-
/ rants who live only for the grltiiiea.
Z ton of selfish desires and mihallOwed
passions. And yet, we should never
lose sight of the fact that the more
sunshine We have within, the bettei
prepared shall we be to overcome the
/ darkness that reigns around us.

No matter what iuroads dishonor hath

No matter what element clnkered the

Though tarnish and sulli-d, "she's some

No matter how wayward his footsteps have

The Coolest Bath.

BOYS don't always Come out ahead
in performing college tricks Here is
a good story Of Jim Bradshaw'sshow-
er-bath that beats the "Turkishr and
nearly every other kind:
When we were in Adams College,
the president, who was rigid disci-
plinarian, insisted that every student
should be i'm the chapel on the ringing
of the bell, at six o'clock, winter and
summer. 1t was not so hard To do in
the summer but in winter it was an
affiiction 10 rise from 4 warm bed and

II occurred to Jim Bradshaw,
after Jolly evening spent with some
students, that he would freeze up the
bell. "FOr," lac argued, as he mud
died over the matter. ''if there's no
bell there'll be no ring, and cOnse-
quently-I'll freeze itup.n
It was bitter cold night, and he
Thought that if he could only set the
bell, and fill it with water, it would
freeze As hard as marble before morn

His room was near the belfry; so he

seized a bucket of water standing in
his room, and started for the stairway.
To raise the bell so that it stood up
right, like 4 tumbler, and tie the rope
to a baluster, was the work of min
ute, and then he ascended to the bel
fry with his bucket of water to COM
plete the experiment.
The midnight air blew keenly
around him, and he shiveringly filled

playing on the president. He start

The Moss Rose.

Krummachcr illustrates simplicity
by the following beautiful fable:
The angel who takes care of the
flowers, and sprinkles upon them dew
in the still night, slumbered ON 4
spring day in the shade Of q rose
bush.
When he aWOke, lie said, "MOst
beautiful of my children, L thank thee
for thy refreshing OdOr and cooling
shade. Could you now ask any favor,
how willingly would / grant it."
"AdOrn me, then, with u new
charm" said the spirit of the rose
bush in a beseeching tone.
SO the angel adorned the lOveIiest o!
flowers with simple moss. Swcetly il
stood there, in its modest attire, the
moss-rOse, the most beautiful Of it.
kind.
So the cOstliest ornaments are often
the simplest. There is no gold, nor
jewel, nor sparkling pearl equal to tho
"ornament of a meek and quiet spirit
which is, in the sight of God, Of grcat
price"

Annie Laurie.

The birth of "Annie Laurie,U the
heroine of the ballad of that name, 50
| well known to many of our young
readers, is quantity recorded by her
father, Sir Robert Laurie, of Maxwell
town, in the family register, in these
words:
cat the pleasure of Almighty God,
my daughter, Annie Laurie, was born
on the 10th day of December, 1852
years, about O'clock in the morning,
and was baptized Mr.. Geo" Hunter,
Of Glen-cairn.
And his own marriage is given in
the same quaint style: "At the pleas
ure of the Almighty, I was married to
my wife, Jean Riddle, upon the 9th
day Of July, 1914, in the from Kirk of
Elinb, by Mr. Annane."
These statements l find in the valu-
able collection of manuscripts left by
the late Mr.. w. f. II. Arundel, and
which his son, w. +. Aunter Arun-
dell, Esq, of Barjarg Tower Dunn

examine and make use of. They con-

She was, however, Obduratc to his
passionate appeal, preferring Alexan-

whom she WAS eventually married.
Mr.. William Douglas was said to have

unusually early for call, the good
doctor was seen at the house of y lady
for whom he had long been supposed
to have prediction, and betraying
much excitement Of manner till the
door was opened. As soon rs he was

The population Of the United States
is about thirty-nine million, Of whom
scarcely less than six XmilliOn own their
own hOmcsteads, and have each from
a city lot to n thousand acres Of land.
In England. with a population of thir-
ty-two millions, only thirty thousand
people own any land. The nobility
have absorbed the country and used
the poor 10 make improvements, and
pay the rent for their use. The mass
es Of Englishmen have no country, or
any real interest in it. In a century
or two more some ROthchild may own
the whole island. Humanity protests
against such a system. Ii is the out
growth Of ages Of feudal oppression,
and would justify a revolution To get
rid Of it. An active and jealous land
reform party is more needed Just now
than any other i'm that country. Even
confiscatiOn would bepreferabl BILE to tn,

We now brought up at COngres hall
and the General went into an early
breakfast. He was surrounded by
4 charming family of children, and
looked the picture of a good,
quiet, honest, sensible citizen, as lie is.
Always radical, but pretty sure to be
right, the General is a hater of hum
bugs, hater Of impossible theories,;l
hater of long, empty takers. He puts
more sense into one sentence than
some men will get into ten. The Gen-

We're in 4 roar Of laughter during
