Words OF Wisdom,

A noble man compares and estimates
himself by an idea which is higher than
himself, and mean man by one which
is lower than himself. The one pro-
duces aspiration, the other ambition.
Ambition is the way in which vulgar
man aspires.
An infant, prattling child, dying in
its cradle, will live again in the better
thoughts of those who love it, and plays
its part through them in the redeeming
actions of the world, though it's body is
burnt to ashes or drowned in the deep
est sea.-Dickens.
Nothing at first frames such false in.
mates as an imaginative temperament.
1t finds the power of creation sc easy,
the path it fashions so actual, that no
marvel for time hope is its own secur-
ity, and the fancied world appears the
true copy of the real.
The family is the miniature common
wealth upon whose integrity the safety
OF the larger commonwealth depends.
1t is the seed-plot of all morality. We
express the noblest longings of the hu-
man heart when we speak of time to
come in which all mankind will be
united as one family.
Men, as a rule, are easily attracted by
a beautiful face, but still it is an in
ternal beauty of character by which
woman can exert the greatest amount of
influence. A true minded man, though
at first enamored by the glare of per-
sonal beauty, will soon feel the hollow
ness of its charm when he feels the lack
of beauty in the mind. Inestimably
great is the influence a sweet minded
woman may WELD over those around
her.
You are walking through forest. On
the ground, across your path, lies
stretched in death mighty tree, tall
and strong, fit mast to carry cloud OF
canvas and bear unbent the strain of
tempests. You put your foot lightly on
it, and how great your surprise when,
breaking through the bark, it sinks deep
into the body OF the tree-a result much
less owing to the pressure of your foot
than to the poisonous fungi and foul
crawling insects that have attacked its
core. They have left the outer rind un-
injured, but followed out it's heart.
Take care your heart is not followed
out and nothing left you but crust and
shell of an empty profession. Shallow
rivers are commonly noisy rivers, and
! the drum is loud because it is hollow.

Patience is a commodity which always

Every one is the poorer in proportion

have consecrated themselves to the

or deed" "If," says the inaugural,
"the members have chosen the name

We said, at is too late.

She holds and bushes him TO rest.

While painting grass-tops watt
When, 10 the miracle came on:
A roadside turn-a moment gone
Aud far the sun low-lying shone;
The forest stood in state.
Transfgured spread the silent space;
The glamour leaped about the place,
And touched us, swept from face to face;
We cried, "Not yet too late !"
But one, who nearer drew than all,
Leaned low and whispered: "Suns may fal
Or flash; dear. heart speak and call
Your soul unto its fate.

THE TWO ROBERTS.

Singing softly to himself, Robert Ed
bury rode cover dale and over down "
in the sweet stiffness of the July night.
Hardly breath of air was stirring in
the branches of the trees. Now and
then an invisible night bird piped a
solitary note to keep him company, and
soft waves of light streamed over the
hills as the queenly moon, we'll attended
by her guards, rode indolently down the
broad highway of heaven. The blue
dome, looking soft as velvet, was, like
the tabled path of love, strewn thickly
with the golden kisses of the stars.
AS he gained the last hill, whose
summit gazed on the little watering.
place which was for a few weeks to be
his destination, he involuntarily drew
rein and sat silent moment, enjoying
the moonlight scene. On his left an
old-fashioned brick house reared its
twisted chimneys aloft. So close was
he to it that its sharp gables seemed to
cut the air over his head, and only a
strip of green lawn, bordered by horse
chestnut trees, separated him from the
windows, cleaning in the moonlight,

m1y think I am serenading them"
Too late Just then a window was
opened softly overhead, and lady's face
appeared at it. In the rush of bright
moonlight Robert caught sight of the
long ripple of gold-gleaming hair, and
was sure that the face was lovely. At
any rate, the voice was.
Robert, dear, is ii you ?"
For half minute Robert Edbury was
mute with surprise, and made no answer.
:" 1t is you, Robert. Why don't you
speak? ?"
He spoke, then, low, and with hesita-
tion.
"How do you know it was II"
"Of course l knew it was you. :"
There was a flash of petulance in the
sweet voice now. "Who else but you
could be riding and singing in that alb

halting before the house Have you a
