The ValueOf Training.

1t is u great thing to be born poet
LAWYER. merchant, musician and linancier;
but training has done as much as nature
to make men great in the various avoca-
tions of life. All who are familiar with
the biographies of great men and great ,
women know perfectly well that unless
nature has been largely aided and supple
mented by diligent training, their names
might have remained forever unknown
Training may begin with the first day OF Il
child's life. 1t is certain to continue in one
form or another to the last, and doubtless

BEAUTIFYING Towns In former davs
it was considered that The approaches
leading into Il town should be orderly,
stately and attractive, and such us should
generally give some idea of the plan of
the place But nowadays people usual
y enter IL town 'y rail ut the back door,
md see but little of it, and that the very
worst. Sill, in aesthetic aspect. the mat
ter of approach is very important to a
town. 1t should be- large free and open,
yiving glimpse of the taste of the town
md of its order and thrift-an approach
which should fix itself in the minds of all
who 90 and show an inviting welcome to
I'll who come. Among The New England
cities the best examples of this are afford
I'D by Worcester and Providence and es-
ppcially Hartford, where there is not only
an open space. but where one is comforted
by charming little park, which occupies
ground only few years ago either lying
waste or snbject to sordid uses.
Parks are absolutely necessary, and i'm
instance is not known where the land has
heen given back for commercial purposes.
Besides their other advantages, they have
! decided tendency. rs is illustrated in
various monarchial govern ments, to ie-
fine the turbulence of the masses. Parks
should he large and fine, without deep cuts,
without any labored disturbance of natur-
al contour The sweetest and loveliest

ceases not then, for life here and hereafter
is but school, and we are advanced, as
we are prepared, from one class to IL high
er class. Obedience to law is the first les T..
son Il child should learn. Is it not also
the last?
We call it the forming of right habits in
him, right habits of sleeping, of washing,
of eating; afterwards of submitting his
will to that of his nurse or mother; after.
wards Of the use of his limbs, his senses,
his power of speech. At this point, cul-
ture on the part of the parent tells as much
us Mt any other point; for, in proportion as
the parent understands and appreciates the
force and beauty of language, will she
take pains to form in her child the invari-
able habit of purity of speech in. every
sense in which the word purity can apply
to speech. Cicero says that those among
the Romans who became renowned for
eloquence, learned the Latin language in
its perfection from their mothers lips, and
never knew how to talk incorrectly.
Early in childhood, habits of self-reli-
ance and selfhelp may be formed. The
child should be taught to amuse itself, to
wait upon itself, and to perform services,
according to its strength and ability, for
others. 1t is no Kindness to healthful
child to wait upon it continually, when it
is old enough to wait upon itself.

OYER AND OVER AGAIN.


Over and over again,
No matter which way l turn,
always find in the Book of Life
Some lessons have to learn:
l must take my turn at the mill.
must grind out the golden grain,
Imust work at my task with resolute will
Over and over again.
We cannot measure the need
OF even the TIMES. flower,
Nor check the flow of the golden sands
That run through a single hour.
But Ohe morning dew must fall,
And thessun and the summer rain
Must do their part and perform it all
over and over again.
Over and over again
The brook through the meadow flows,
And over and over again
The pond'rous mill wheel goes.
Once doing will not suffice,
Though doing be not i'll vain;
And a blessing failing us once or twice
May come II wetry again,
The path that has once been trod
Is never 50 rough to feet;
And the lesson We once have learned
Is never 50 hard to repeat.
Though sorrowful tears may fall,
And the heart to its depths be driven
With storm aud tempest, we need them all
To render us meet for heaven.

The day before that another woman in u
railroad car, travelling about with cat.
And here was this good, quiet, brave lit
tie woman, living the lifelong year IF in
the rocks shut off from any society except
her mother, yet contrnred and happy in
he practice of duty, keeping brave watch
for the suffering and putting out her boat
thr ough the raging storm, periling her
own life to save the lives of those who
were utter strangers to her, and all the
while bearing her honors as meekly as if
she had been some simple village maiden.
