.. MARTINI FERRY.
SOME people have knack of never
finishing things. They plan for some
thing great, and commencing either
change their minds, become discouraged,
or. for want of funds, leave their under
taking in condition of incompleteness.
There Is nothing like beginning at the
beginning and finishing as one goes.
That, in the end, brings perfection. This
idea applies to our streets, our houses,
and in fact, everything. Instead of
grading a little all over town, would
it not he we'll to grade one, lay
the sidewalk, and complete it
before commencing another, and so have
something that could be pronounced
complete. In houses this same want Of
incompleteDess is seen. Most of the
houses are too large for their surround
n
crate circumstances, well furnished, with
good well, cistcrn and fences, yard well
cared for and walks well paved, will
give more satisfaction to the owner and
look better than one twice Us large and
elegant. with fences, walks and out build
ingS that do not correspond.
We see people also, who are always
planning on what they will do in the
great hereafter. They barely live in
the present, and deprive themselves Of
every pleasure, that they may b. happy
hereafter. Time is too short to wait for
the future to bring content. The great
secret is to make every day full to it,
greatest capacity good deeds and kind
" thoughts. Each one deepening upon
the fruits of his own industry, with no
hopes on nothing for some golden for
tune to come in the future, for the say
