yawn.
"GoOd friends why, you have ten !" replied
his master.
"l'm sure haven't half so many and thost

" Count your fingers, my boy" said hi
master.
Dennis looked at his large, strong hands

"Then never say you have not got ten gooC
friends able to help you on in life. Try
what those true friends can do before you be-
gin grumbling and fretting because you Dc
not get help from others"
If you are not your own friend, it is foolish
to expect others to befriend you. Providenc,

not 60 from us, but We from them, stepping
from the old into the new, and always leaving
behind us some baggage no longer serviceable
on the march. Look back along the way we
have trodden ; there they stand, every one in
his place, holding fast all that was left in
trust with them. Some keep our childhood,
some onr youth, and all have something Of
ours which they will give up for neither bribe
nor prayer-the opinions cast away, the hopes
that went with us no farther, the cares that
have had successors, and the follies outgrown,
to be reviewed by memory, and called up for
evidence some day,--TAe Moralisf.
