The most perilous hour of per
sons life is when he is tempted to
despond. The man who looses his
courage looses all; there is no more
hope OF him than of dead man; but
it matters not how poor he may be,
how much pushed by circumstances,
how much deserted by friends, how
much lost to the world; if he only
keeps his courage, holds up his head,
works with his hands and with un
conquerable will determines to be
and to do what becomes a man, all
will be well. 1t is nothing outside
OF him that kills, but what is within,
that makes or unmakes.

We must measure mans strength
by the power of the feelings he sub
dues, not by the power of those
which subdue him. And hence,
composure is often the highest
result of strength. Did we ever see
a man receive "a fragrant injury, and
then reply calmly? That is a man
spiritually strong, Or, did we ever
see man in anguish, stand as If
carved out of solid rock, as if master
ing himself? Or one bearing hope
less daily trial remain silent and
never tell the world what cankered
his home peace? That is strength,
We too often mistake strong feel
ings for strong character. A man
who bears all before him, before
whose frown domestics tremble, and
whose bursts of fury make the child
rem of the household quake, because,
he has his own way in all things, we
call him strong man; it is his pas
sons that are strong-he, mastered by
them, is weak.
