good company or none. Never be idle. If
your hand cannot be usefully employed, at
tend to the cultivation of the mind. Always
speak the truth. Make few promises. Live
up to your engagements. Keep your own
secrets, if you have any. When you speak to
person, look him in the face. Good compa-
ny and good conversation, are the very sinews
of virtue. Good character is above all things
else. Your character cannot be essentially
injured, except by your own acts. If any
one speaks evil of you, let your life be such
that no one will believe him. Drink no kind
of Intoxicating liquors. Ever live (misfor-
tune excepted) within your income. When you
retire to bed, think over what you have been
doing during the day. Make no haste to be
rich, if you would prosper. Small and steady
gains give competency, with tranquility of
mind. Never play at any game OF chance.
Avoid temptation, though you fear you may
not withstand it. Earn money before you spend
it. Never run into debt unless you can see
your way to get out of it. Never borrow if
you can possibly avoid it, Do not marry
until you are able to support wife. Never
speak evil of any one. Be just before you
are generous Keep yourself innocent, if you
would be happy. Read over the above max
at least once week.
BE- A certain man had wayward son. His
conduct brought down his father to prema-
ture grave. On the day Of his funeral the
son was present, saw unmoved the pale face
of his father in the coffin, stood unmoved on
the brink of the grave. The family retraced
their steps. Their fathers will and testament
was read and in that testament was the name
of the undutiful son. As his name was read
his heart heaved with emotion, his eyes were
bedewed with tears, and he was heard to say,
81 did not think my father would have so
kindly thought of me in his will" In the
family of Christ, some of us in reading his
testament and thinking upon his great love
and marvellous gifts, feel our Improbable
ness and unworthiness, and are filled with
contrition and gratitude, with love and Won
der.

Idolatry is but the enthronement Of tho ideals

Our instinct is tho revelation OF God ani

Mo trial is there which, even at the most
critical instant, docs not see it's gloom ill1l-
minated by the wonderful uprising Of Hope.
If Genius lays Nature under tribute, it i
for materials, not inspiration.
One needs the effect Of giving quite aa
much as the other needs the gift.
God never forgets anything. All His works,
from the creation Of q world to tho tinting of q
leaf, are fnished-porfect.
One good deed may bo felt through all time,
and entail its consequences into eternity.

Ono of the burdens that bends tho buck Of
