Do It Well.

Whatever you do, do it well. A
job sighted, because it is apparent
ly unimportant, leads to habitual
neglect, so that men degenerate, in
sensioly, into bad workmen.
THAT is a good rough Job" said
a foreman in our hearing, and he
meant that it was good piece of
work not elegant IN itself, but
strongly made and well put to-
gether.
Training the hand and eye TO do
work well leads individuals to form
correct habits in other respects,
and a good workman is in most
cases a good citizen. No one need
hope to rise above his present stu
alton who suffers small things to
pass by unimproved, or who neg
lects, metaphorically speaking, to
pick up a cent because it is not a
dollar.
Some of the wisest Lawmakers,
the best statesmen, the most gifted
artists, the most merciful judges,
the most ingenius mechanics, rose
from the great mass.
A rival of a certain lawyer sought
to humiliate him publicly by say
ing: you BACKED my fathers
boots once" YES" replied the
lawyer, unabashed, land 1 did it
we'll" And because of his habit OF
doing even mean things well, he
rose to greater.
Take heart, all who toll! all
youths in humble situations, all in
adverse circumstance, and those
who labor inexperienced. If it he

it well; if 1T be but to wax thread.
wax it well; if only to cut bolts,
make good ones; or to blow the
bellows, keep the iron hot. 1t is
attention to business that lifts the
feet higher up on the ladder.
Says the good Book: "Seest thou
a man diligent in his business, he
shall stand before kings; he shall
not stand before mean men,"

The following sensible article is

That species of economy which
squanders hundreds of dollars on
useless but snowy finery, and then
squeezes poor sewing women down
to a pittance upon which a Church
mouse would starve, is not altogeth-
er a thing for any lady or gentle
man to be proud of. And yet there
is no little of this very sort ofecon
omy among those of both sexes who
aspire to he leaders of fashion and
of society, and it is not an infrequent
thing to hear such people boast of
how mach certain articles of cloth

got some poor, pinched, pale, halt
starved woman to make it up.

fashion, but it Is neither that kind

very little doubt that you will be

a little, hated great deal, have a
big funeral, be blessed by the rela-
tIves to whom you leave the most,
reviled by those to whom you leave
less, and vilified by those 10 whom
you leave nothing. But you must
pay for it, my son. Wealth is an
expensive thing. 1t costs all it is

SUNRISE COMES TOMORROW.


True it is that clouds and mist,
Blot the clear, blue weather;
True that lips that once have kissed,
Come no more together.
True that when we would do good
Evil often follows;
True that green leaves quit the wood,
Summers lose their swallows.
True that, in this age of ours,
There are none to guide us
Gone the grand primevAl powersl
Selfish aims divide US.
True the plant. But, if more true,
would not deplore it;
If an Eden fade from view,
Time may yet restore it.
Evil comes and evil goes,
BUTT moves me never;
For the good, the good, it grows,
Buds and blossoms ever.
Winter still succeeds to spring,
But fresh springs are coming;
Other birds are on the wing,
Other bees are bumming.

Apple blossoms on the trees,
