Words Of Wisdom.

Never be cast down by trihes. If n
spider breaks his web twenty times,
twenty times will he mend it. Makeup
your mind to do thing, and you will do
it. Fear not If trouble comes upon you.
Keep up your spirits, though the day
may be dark one.
Troubles never last forever,
The darkest day will pass away.
If the sun is going down look up to the
stars; if the earth is dark keep your eyes
on heaven. With Gods presence and
Gods promise a man or child may be
cheerful.
Never despair when iog's in the mir,
a sunshiny morning will come without warn
ing.
Mind what you run after. Never be
content with bubble that will burst, or
| Il firewood that will end in smoke and
darkness; but that which you can keep,
and which is worth keeping.
Something sterling, that:will stay
When gold and silver fly away.
Fight hand against hasty temper.
Anger will come, but resist it strongly.
4 spark may set house on fire. A fit of
passion may give you cause to mourn all
the days of your life. Never revenge IN
injury.
He that revengeth knows no rest;
The meek possess arpeaceful breast.
IF YOU have an enemy act kindly TO
him and make him your friend. You
may not win him over ut once, but try
again. Let one kindness be followed by
| another, till you have compasscd your
end. BY little and by little great things
are completed.
Wnter, falling day by day,
Wears the hardest rock away.
And so repeated kindnesses will soften
a heart Of stone. Whatever you Ito, do
it willingly. 4 boy that is whipped at
school never learns his lessons well. y
man that is compelled to work cares moi
how badly it isl performed. He who
pulls off his coat cheerfully, strips up
his sleeves in earnest and sings while he
works is the man for me.
A cheerful spirit gets on quick;
A grlmbler in the mud will stick.
Evil thoughts are our worst enemies.
Keep your heads and hearts full of good
thoughts, that bad thoughts may not
find room.
BE on your guard, and strive and pray
TO drive all cvi! thoughts away.

70 be OF permanent benefit medicine must
reach the source OF the disease. The reason
why Scovil's Blood and Liver Syrup is so
successful in overcoming serofulous, syphilitic
and cruptive complaints is that it entirely
roots ont those impurities which give rise to
them. The cause Of the evil being thus re-
moved and the normal purity of the circulation
restored, the skin resumes its original clear
