TWILIGHT.
The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wing Of might,
AS ! feather is waited downward.
From an eagletin his flight.p

H"iAo AiOiH tEC ing Vi might,
AS 4 feather is waited downward,
From an eaglesin his fiight.n
How beautifully the poet has portrayed
the twilight hour. AS the sun fades from
slght and the shadows fall softly over noun
tam and plain, we let the cares Of the day
sup from us-a garment, and, seated by the
window, gaze out into the twilight. Before
we are aware, the misty tears steal into our
eyes-yet not wholly because we feel sad,
but a certain something we cannot define
seems to hover in the air at this hour which
causes'the tears tohlow. We look back to
the home circle we have left. Happy they
who find thatihousehold band complete, who
miss net one face, who see not one vacant
chair, atWhose door the dark Deatl-angcl
has never knocked. Then, too, we indulge
i'll dreaming, and far down the dim future
we see ourselves-after years of patient toll,
crowned with honor and famc-perhaps.
For but few of these dreams may ever be
realized. Yet they give Is courage to strug-
gle on, and sometimes we turn away, with
nobler purposes and aims than we have had
for many a day, just because we watched
the day fade into twilight, the twilight into
Rsaul.

SUCCESSFUL MEN.

"Who are they"" They are those meA
who, when boys, were compelled to work,
either to help themselves or their parents,
and who, when a little older. were under the
stern necessity of doing more than their le-
Ultimate share OF labor who AS young men
had their wits sharpened by having TO devise
ways and means of making their time more
available than it would he under ordinary
circumstances Hence, in reading the lives
Of eminent men who have greatly ~distin-
guished themselves, we find their youth
passed in selfdenials of food, sleep, rest
and recreation. They sat up late, rose early
to the performance of imperative duties, do
ing by daylight the work of one man, ana
by night that of another, A banker OF high
integrity, and who started in life without q
shilling, said, the other day.
Cor years | was in my place of business
at sunrise, and often did not leave it for fir
teen or eighteen hours"
Let not any youth be discouraged if he
has to make his own living, or even to sup
port a widowed mother or sick sister, or un-
fortunate relative, for this has been the road
to eminence of many a proud name. This
is the path which men have often trod-
thorny enough at times, at others so beset
with obstacles as to be almost impossible;
but the way was cleared, sunshine came,
success followed-then the glory and re-
nown.

The celebrated Henderson, the actor, was
seldom known to be in a passion. When he
was at Oxford he was one day debating with
a fellow student, who, not keeping his tenn
per, threw II glass Of wine in his face. Mr..
Henderson took out his handkerchief, wiped
hisGace, and coolly said: .That, sir, was a
depression; now for the argument"

THAT the beautiful scenery around Am
herst is duly appreciated BY the students,
and that they do all in their power to show
it's charms to Others, can be seen from the
following: On a very dark, rainy evening,
recently, a student went to call on a young
lady. "Is Miss - at home this EVENING" ~
''Oh no, sir" was the reply, ''she has gone
cut with Mr.. W, Of the senior class, to
view the Holyoke range by moonlight"

MARRIAGE is decidedly the most import

She can do very we'll without marrying, ii
she only thinks SO; but if she marries, her

A CLERGYMAN was recently annoyed by
people talking and giggling. He paused,
looked at the disturbers, and said, II ana
always afraid to reprovc those who misbe-
have, for this reason. Some years since, as
| was preaching, a young man who sat be-
fore me was constantly laughing, talking
and making uncouth grimaces. | paused
and administered a severe rebuke. After
the close of the service agentleman said 10
me: Sir, you have made a great mistake;
that young man is an idiot Since then l

who misbehave themselves in chapel, lest /
should repeat that mistake and reprove an
other idiot" During the rest of the service
