ing clean face for the first time in number
of years. At the dinner table his three-ycars-
old granddaughter noticed it, "gnzed long
with wondering eye and finally calculated,
" Grandfather, whose head you got on?"

like some lowers true? A.-Oh, no. for such
actions make waste of good blood. Just keep

No mans spirits are very much hurt by
doing his duty. On the contrary. one good

Gold is obtained from the mine by digging
the earth, and from the mser by digging his
soul. Men of groveling disposition expend
not, and hoard with care; saying that the
hopes of expanding are better than having

wish of the enemy, the money left and the
wretch dead.
While there is much misery and sin in the
world, II man has no right to lul himself to

love man that you cannot bear to see the stain
of sin upon him, and to speak painful truth
through loving words-that is friendship.
But few have such friends. Our enemies

spend; but when they find their days flowing
rapidly away, so that at last they have very
few left then they wish ut once to make very
wise use of them; but unluckily they have
by that time no notion how to do it.
