Hash.

That's right laugh. Every one does
when hash is mentioned, yet every one likes
it when properly prepared and duly certified
to-established as it is by pledges of public
con6dence-and nearly everybody eats it.
Hash is vastly abused dish. 1t is made
the scapegoat for about all the gastronomic
sins in the kitchen calender, not to say Gull
lender.
There are not many of us who boarded at
home, when home meant a experimenting
mother in the kitchen as we'll as elsewhere,
but can recall the delight we felt, in those
days of innocence a1d q Ainless stomach,
when we discovered there was hash for break
fast. Was there anything superior to that
rare combination Of minced oorn-beef and
potatoes as it came steaming from the
kitchen and have your noses ever enjoyed
more savory treat than that which ana
mated from the maternal hash What is a
home without mother? And what is a
mother unless she can make good hash ?
The way people speak of hash, though,
and the sneers, derision aud obloquy they
heap upon it, might lead one TO think they
never ate hash in all their lives, and yet
if they told the TRUTH in niue cases out Of
ten, they would acknowledge a snsaking
fondness for it. We have seen people turn
up their noses at it when placed by their
plates in hotel, and yet watch M oppor-
tunity when they thought no one was OBJ
serving, to SNOW 1t away" with relish.
We have seen others affect absent-miRd-
edness, as if their thoughts were away of
scarcely Of this earth, as you might say

What is Life
Vests Nils, Maine.

Life is sweet to all and how much sweeter
it would be to those around US if We would
live up to the golden rule-the silver one is
not enough. God has implanted within us
passions, but he has also given us a strong
will power. We can govern them, keep
them under subsection and use them as he
has intended for our good, not for our injury.
No one has moral right to let his passions
master him. no matter what they are; it is
not only doing great injury to himself, but
to others, which cannot be easily repaired.
Our hopes, our aspirations are so varied !;
and if the aching void in our hearts were
filled here, our present happiness complete,
we should forget our kind, heavenly parent
We are never satisfied As fast as We are
victorious over one thing, We want another
one to cope with, and so on, till life is made
Of failures and victories and it is better to
fail after having tried than never to try.
We cannot all expect to stand on the high.
est round Of the ladder, but we can all try,
and trying will make us stronger aud if we
fail still try agaln-we may succeed at last.
But if we don't try We certainly shall not
succeed. Don't give up the ship as long as
there is anything to cling to, and don't let
life be failure as long as there is one
chance Of making it grand, noble one. We
then are not only doing good as we pass
along, but are leaving an influence that shall
live long after we have gone, to help some
other poor frail mortal who will come after
US.

forces-only luminous forces. Occult force

Wayside Thoughts.

1t is fearful indeed to witness the sin aud
corruption of the present day. And we need
not look for it among the poor and lowly
altogether. 1t exists also-and largely too
among the higher classes. They say to
themselves, IL have wealth and position,
who dares to interfere with my sayings and
doings2"
If we are loose and careless with regard to
our daily talk before men, we will most GER
tainly scatter pernicious seeds among the
many channels of the mind, causing some
fellow being to reap harvest from them at
somefuture time, and where the influence
ends it is impossible to state. II we always
look upon the dark side of life We will close
up thousands Of beautiful channels through
which the mind might have travelled had we
been more cheerful aud from which might
