Mistakes.
BT ELLA WHEELER.

I
Ny life is so full Of sad mistakes,-
To-day was thinking about them,
And thinking ofall that might have been
IF ] had but lived without them.
So many {. time have laid my plan,
Only to spoil it in doing;
And much of the work that the world calls gooC
Has left me cause for rueing.
Each thing that do is like the page
OFFS hurriedly written letter :
Full of good thoughts perhaps, but the blots
Prove that it ght be better.
l have wished for the worlds applause, and
thought
To make it praise and wonder,
But my noblest aim and best laid plan
Was sure to be spoiled by blunder.
I think Ihave lived too far from Cod
Not that I ever doubt Him,
But feeling too sure Of my strength, I've tried
To do some thing without Him.
And so we shall always make mistakes,
And alwsys our srrers be rueing.
Until we reach up for the Guiding Hand,
Whatever may be doing.

Cleonet there are little things that
leave no little regets. I might have
said kind words, and perhaps have done
kind actions, to many who are now be-
yond the reach Of them. One look ON
the unfortunate might have given .
days happiness; one sigh over the
pillow of sickness might haveinsured a
nights repose, one whisper might have
driven from their victim the faries Of
despair.
We think too much upon What the
Gods have given US, and too little Of
the way,
We both are young; and yet We have
seen several who loved US pass away.
and we never can live ever again as we
lived before. : portion Of our lives
is consumed By the torch we follow as
their funerals. We enter into another
state Of existence. resembling indeed.

C Hair Vigor,
For restoring to Gray Hair its
natural Vitality and Color.

gloss and freshness of yoa:th. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pssty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. IF wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found SO desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

In all grades of humsu intelli-
gence and culture there are three cy-
cles Of development : the physical, the
intellectual, the spiritual That which
is rational in man is higher than the
animal, and that which is spiritual
higher than the rational. To develop
the animal is to develop the lowest ma
ture to develop the intellectual is to
develop the intermediate nature to
develop the spiritual is to develop the
highest nature Of man-that which
makes him God-like, that which reach
es forth to eternity, with no limit to
It's growing capacity.

Upon the higher Alps the snow
is sometimes piled so high, and SO
evenly balanced, that crack of whip
or the shout of voice may give suff-
cient vibration to the air to bring
down the whole mass upon the travel
ers below. So in our moral world
there are souls just lowering over the
abyss of ruin; word or even look
from us may cause them to plpngs
down into the depths from which there
is no return; or & helping hand
stretched out to them in the moment
of peril may lead them back to tho
safe, sure paths Of virtue and peace.
Knowing that We have such power,
shall We not humbly pray Lead US
not into temptation. but deliver IA
from sTii?"

Woe to the man who has every
thing brought to him and blessed arc
they who are born under adverse cir
cumstances and have no chance in life,
and who, instead of whining because
they have no chance, develop an in

chance-for there is that in man
which dominates over chance, time and
nature. 4 man can make himself
sovereign if he has but the purpose.

Many child goes astray. not be-
cuse there is want of prayer or virtue
at home, but simply because home lacks
sunshine A child needs smiles as much
as flowers need sunbeams. Children
look little beyond the present moment.
If thing pleases they are apt to sec; if
it displeases they are prone to avoid it.
If home is the place where faces are sour
and words harsh, and fault-fnding is
ever the ascendant, they will spend as
many hours as possible elsewhere.
