gers into n horses mouth 10 see how

When a man thinks that nobody
cares for him, and that he is alone in a
cold and selfish world, he would do
well to ask himself this question
What have / done 10 make anybody

world with faith and generosity? IL is
generally the case that those who COM
plain the most have done the least.
in the woods a man casts of his
wears, as the snake his slough, and, at
what period soever of life, is always
child. In the woods perpetual youth.
Within these plantations of God deco :
rum and scanctity reign, n perennial
festival is dressed, and the guests sees
not how he should tire them in thou
sand years. In the woods we return 10
reason and faith.-Emerson
I like 20 read about Moses best, in
the Old Testament. He carried hard
business well through, and died when
other folks were going to reap the
fruits; a man must have courage To
look at his life so, and think what'll
come of il after he's dead and gone. A
good solid bit o. work lasts il it's only
laying a floor down, somebody's the
better for it being done well, besides
the man as does it.-GcOrge Eliot.
A little boy with an inquiring-
thoughtful mind asked his father wha-
was meant by full dress, as If every one
should not be fully dressed at all times.
The father, who had three grown-uP
daughters and wife, who yearned af-
the early loves of fashion, was thought
full moment, but replied with heavy
sigh, indicating deep feeling Full
dress is where the wearer puts one-thiTd
of her dress on her person and drags
wo-thirds on the ground.
Fancy children giving mp their
fairy-books, and betaking themselves
seriously from their earliest years 10
the study of history, geology, chemis-
try, what would childhood be2 There
would be no such thing. A child not
fond Of fairy stories lives in no child
region. The fairy story brings the fairy
land, and the fairy land is the land Of
dream and expectation and hope it is
the real world in which the child lives
before experience comes TO il.
What is the reason, can you Ruess
WHY men are poor, and women thinner3
So much do they for dinner dress,
