Truly Yours,

FossILs.-Don't be fossils; old
logs laying by the wayside for moss
and fungus to grow upon; for worms
to honeycomb and spiders to weave
nests around. Be man among
men with purpose and strength to
accomplish. Don't be afraid of re-
sistence-the more thebetter. You
will be sure to find it if everlasting
ly seeking. Ifit must come let the
day find you and not you the day.
No man can succeed in allhis under
takings, and it would not be well
for him to do so. Things easily ac-
quired 90 easily. 1t is by The strug-
gle that it costs to obtain that we
learn to rightly estimate the value.
Don't be fossils. They are con-
tent to rot out, to let matters take
their course, and the sooner they
are out Of the way the better. They
simply occupy the room need cd by
better men; by men who are yigor-
Gus, thriving sproutsof the great
human tree; men who will take and
keep place in the world; who
make business and attend to II; who
amount to something; do some good
to their race; men of bone, sinew
and nerve, men Of thought and &C.
tion, with the will to do and the
heart to dare; men who would be
missed and regretted; not old,
moldy, worthless trunks by the side
OF the stream, tossed up high and
dry by one treshet, tc remain mo-
tionless uutil the coming and swell
ing of another.
Don't be fossils Of as little use to
mankind as century buried logs. In
the great world there is a place ior
everyone and be should be found in
it. Fossils never are. They are
simply drones in the busy hives,
and slothe in the field living upon
the toll Of others or lazily clinging
to one branch until diven by star
vation to another. Morning sees
them idle and night finds no gener-
Gus deed, 10 kindly act, no NOBLE
thought accomplished They are
mere hangers-on in the business
mart, make no sacrifices within the
temple. For all it is known they
might as well be nameless; for all
the good they do, never have been
born. 1t is not life with them; moth
ing but mere drawing OF the
breath-an existence. Cumbering
the earth they are REGARDED not, ex
cept with scorn, and dying would
not be mourned or remem bered.
Earth they indeed are-and that is
all. There is nothing of the spirit
ual, and it may be questioned, with
out irreverence, if they have soul.
Don't be fossils. Better die 10
the struggle than rust out uselessIy,
Want Of success with effort is bet
ter than no striving for the prize.
There Is more honor even in failure
than to never have endeayored. He
who perishes bravely il the combat
receives the reward Of praise,
though he fails to grasp the crown.
There is pleasure III effort, in ex-
citement, in the trying, the end is
bat a dream. Lie is made up Of
trial, and no vi man shrinks from
or trys to avoid it. Strike for the
Truth and the Right. and if the
glory of the Victor is denied, you
can at least gain that Of the Martyr
Don't be human fossils-miSer-
able nothiugs. Be up aud doing.
Glory waits tie seeker and wealth

A RevOlutiOniZing Threat.

Jenki1SOn was the man who entered
the complaint. He was IL young mer-
chant, and had married the daughter of
an old merchant, and said daughter WIS
inclined to- he hestdstong and indepen-
dent, plainly Civ ing her liegelord to un-
der>tand that she should be her own
mistress and do as she pleased.
Jenkinson regarded this as an out
rage, and in the plentitude of his indig-
nation he betook himself to his wift's
farther, and there entered complaint,
deep and bitter, against the fair recnsant,
and, unfortunately. in his laundering he
more than half intimated that the girl
had not been brought up as she ought
to have been. But the old man betray-
ed no ILL., feeling toward his son-in-law.
Did the vixen say she would do as
she had Il mind to?"
" Yes, sir.''
And she makes you generally uncom-
Portable ?"
"She does, indeed. SIR"

A month later, and the old merchant
asked his daughter how she t1ourisiled
at home.
"Oh, graudly!' she cried. You
won't believe how good and kind james
is. He isn't cross any more ut all"
The old man nodded with satisfaction.
His threat had its effect.

Like the breath of the dew on Il tender
plant SO do kind words gently fall upon
the faint, and dropping heart refresh
ing its withrrttl tenttris and healing all
of it's wounds.
Kind words are balm to the soul. They
oil I'D the machinery of life, and keep
it in good running order. They form
bright 0ases in life's great desert. They
never die. l. ing after they are uttered
do they reyerbtIate in the souls inner
chamber, and sing low, sweet, soothing
strains. How often is the heart sad and
likea broken harp; then who can tell
the power of one kind word. One little
word of tenderness, gushing upon the
soul, will sweep the neglected chords
and bring forth the sweetest strains.
How often are we borne down with
the troubles of life, and ready to sink
iaintiug by the way, then kind words
come like rays OF sunshine, cheering
and invigolating. They tlisprrse the
clouds, dspel the gloom, and drive away
sorrow. Kind words will vtgttate in
all human gardens, and bring forth an
abundant harvest. They are precious
Jewels, and should not be shut up in a
casktt, but sent broadcast arnund-and
none will be lost. All will be taken
up-and IL w1ected pleasure come back
to the s0wer. While kind words heal
cruel words come into the bosom like
darts, wOundiug and leaving scars that
are often times borne to the grave by
the victim.
Let any man go home at night, wear
led and worn out by the tolls of the day,
and how sweet is word dictated by Il
sweet disposition. He is happy, and
the cares of life are forgotten. A sweet
temper, which is constantly giving kind
words, is more valuable than gold. 1t
captivates more than hrauty, and t" the
close of Lille retains its freshness and
power. Speak kindly in the morning:
il iigIlte,is the cares of the day, makes
the house hold aud all affairs move

Speak kindly at night for it may
