The Human Will.

will not" to any destiny that seems ia
shape itself for you, the seeming distiny
is apt to undergo . decided change
There is great deal in will. It is tue

who become known to the world; the
men who resolve, II will be upright, v
who are never overcome by the tempta.
tons of vice.
Historians have written Of soldiers
that ",hey did not know when they were
BEATEN" but these are the men who ia
the end knew they were victorious;
and in the battle of life, not to know
when one is beaten is great thing.
Disagreeable people are usually so
because they make no effTt to be
otherwise. A man may compel him.

an unsOcial disposition. 1t is only the
woman who declares herself homely, and
makes no effort to dress becomiDgly,
who is ever actually so to others.
You may leave tho patch of ground at
your door neglected, or you may plant it
with roses. So may you do with your
life and although, as in your garden,
many bud may be blighted, many a
rose wither, still it is only by mans
own will that he dwells in an utter waste.
For God is merciful exceedingly, and
whose helps himself He helps.-A. Il.

A RECoGNITION.-At an OddfellOws'
hail. London, the other dag, young
man in the medical student line of life
came suddenly face to face with dear,
kind old fatherly looking gentleman
with white hair, of highly respectable and
almost Biblical appearance.
They both stood transfixed. The same
idea flashed across both of them. "Your
face is familiar to me, very familiar; but
can't remember where we have met %
often" However, the friendly impulse
Was carried out; they shook hands
warmly, partook Of friendly glass, and
departed, still ignorant Of each Others
name and occupation.
But the young man Wa determined to
solve the problem, and be seixed on the
waiter. and said to him:
Tell me, waiter, ~ho 10 that distis-
guished stranger, With the white hair eli

TIE "ODoR OF SANCTITY."-The piOus
"monks of old" imagined that holiness
was often proportional to saints filth
ness. St. Ignatius, say they, delighted to
appear abroad with old dirty shoes; he
never used comb, but allowed his hair
to clot; and religiously abstained from
pairing his nails. One saint attained to
such piety as to have nearly three hun
dred patches on his brooches, which, after
his death, were hung up in public as an
incentive to imitation. st. Francis dis.
covered by certain experience that the
devils we're frightened away by such
kind of breeches, but were animated BY
clean clothing to tempt and sedace the
wesrers; and one al their heroes declares
that the purest souls ere in the dirtiesl
bodies. Brother Juniper mas . seatie-
man perfectly picas 90 this principle

RHEUMATISM IS A DISEASE OF THE BLOOD.

RHEUMATISM IS A DISEASE OF THE BLOOD.
 The blood in this disease is found to contain 3n excess of fibrin. Vegetine acts by converting the blood from it's diseased condition to healthy circula- tion. Vegetine regulates the bowels which is very important in this com plaint. One bnItle of Vegetine will give relief; but to effect permanent cure, it must be taken regularly, and may take several bottles, especially in cases of long standing. Vegetine is sold by all Druggists. Try It, and your verdict will be the same as that of thousands before you, who say, "I nev CT found so much relief as from the use of Vegetine," which is composed exclu- sively of Barks, Roots and Herbs.
