If your life is full of grief, keep it all to
yourself. If it is full of joy, share it with
the world.
A mans life depends upon the master
he serves. If he serves Satan. his life will
be evil if he serves God, Unjust bear some
thing of beauty.
If you would make a day charming,
make it useful. Spend the Sabbath in heart
devotion if you would make the week peace
full and calm.
The little things that mark our every
day lives are making indelible impressions
upon our characters. We may think them
t%r1tles, but our whole after life will show
their Influence.
That man alone who knows his own
heart is the one who can be free from the
envy of others.
How many little thoughts we have which
could we but express and scatter, might be
productive of much good.
Some people pass through the world
like a band of music down the street. Ev-
erybody is tempted to dance for joy because
of the influences which terminate from their
liyes.
&c The bird in the bosom'' may be made
to sing sweetly only by the performance Of
many little kindnesses tor those around us.
If you are always kind to yourself yon
need not fear but that abundant praise
will be accorded you.
Christians, strive to realize that your
life IS either, by its beauty, to attract men to
Christ, or by Inconsistencies, to repel them
from Him.
Find a home in SOM heart that is
warmly sincere" and when misfortunes
come, turn to that home for comfort.
Would you tell a soul Of Jesus? Then
fill your own soul with his love. Only those
who speak from full hearts can speak with
that tenderness and warmth which is requi-
site to win souls.
1t is harder to be left alone than to die.
The last to depart have the WEAKNESS of
waiting.
Pleasures are but q shield of melting
wax, against q sword of power; they can
no more keep an evil conscience from tor
menting than a velvet sieve can keep a bro
ken arm from aching.
Mind what you run after. Never DO
content with a bubble that will burst, or fire.
wood that will end in smoke and darkness.
Get that which you can keep, and which is
worth keeping.
- What is wanting here?" said a court
ier to his sovereign, with whom he was rid
ing amidst the acclamations and splendor Of
a triumphal procession. "What is wanting
here? ~ And very emphatic was the reply,
continuance" Yes, that was wanting.
The music, the huzzas, the parade would
soon be over. And SO with all these things
on which, aside from God, we depend for
happiness. Our health, our wealth, our
pleasant connections, our sources of gratif-
cation, alb want continuance.
The sun sets on some retired meadow,
where no house is visible, with all the glory
and splendor that it lavishes on the cities,
