Gods Justice.

We marvel sometimes that Gods
justice is not promptly and signally
displayed, and that those who sin
are not at once destroyed. They
would be if they depended on the
torbearance of good men. But
wicked men live an prosper, not be-
cause God is Indifferent, but because
he is patient, and gives them any
opportunity to torsake their evil
ways. The world is full of instances
to show US that divine justice, though
long delayed, is at last executed
Nothing Is more foolish. if we were
aware OF it, than to envy the prosper
ity of the wicked:
These difficulties will vanish in the
light of the judgment day. The
enemies OF the good man may try to
add bitterness to his misfortune, and
say: "Why does not God betriend
you, and why does he not punish
us 2" But the end is not yet in that
day when the secrets of all hearts
shall be made manifest, virtue will be
rewarded ana vice punished and all
men, whether saved or lost, will be
forced to exclaim: "God is just! God
is just !"

YOUR OWN CONCERNS.

Mind your own concerns, my friend,
For they are yours alone
Don't talk about your neighbours faults,
But strive to mend your own.
Suppose Ire does not always lead
a truly pious life;
What matter if he sometimes frets
Or quaTTels with his wife?
Don't meddle-let him know, my friend.
Your better nature spurns
To act the spy on him or his
Just mind your own concerns.
Yes, mind your own concerns, my friend.
And presently you'll find
That all your time is occupied,
And you've quite enough to mind:
Why need you care if Shocks or Spooks
Should wed with Sally Jones?
What matter if your neighbor C.
A half n million owns!
The money is not yours, my friend,
Those golden stores he earns
So do not envy him his wealth,
But mind your own concerns.
Yes, mind your own concerns, my friend
1t is better plan
Than always to be spying out
The deeds of other men.
Remember that all persons have
Though hidden from your view,
Thoughts that to them of right belong,
And not at all to you; ~
And also bear in mind, my friend,
A generous nature worms
No secret from another's breast
So mind your own concerns.

A Gentleman.

allow can we become gentlemen
"How can a boy 90 about making
himself one ?" "Can he work fol-
it ?" Yes he can. And the harder
he works, in the right way, the bet,
ter. But he must study with his
ears. Reading books and news.
papers is not enough. He must
think and feel, as well as speak and
acl. Can he buy it? No, he can
not. Money will buy good mary
things, but it will not buy what
makes gentleman. If you have
money you can go to shop and buy
clothes. But hat, coat, pants and
boots do not make gentleman.
They make fop, and sometimes
come near making TOOL. Money
will buy dogs and horses, but how
many dogs and horses do you think
it will take to make gentleman
Let no boy, therefore, think he is to
be made gentleman by the clothes
he wears, the horse he rides, the
stick he carries, the dog that trots
after him, the house he lives in, or
the money he spends. No one or all
of these do it-and yet every boy
may be gentleman. He may wear
an old hat, cheap clothes, have no
horses, live in a, poor house, and
spend but little money, and still be
gentleman. But how? By being
true, manly, and honorable. By
keeping himself neat and respecta-
bic. By being civil and courteous
BY respecting himself and others.
BY doing the best he knows how.
And finally, and above all, by loving
God and keeping his command
ments.
