For two reasons, rs it seems to us. Firsrt

we feel that gentleness alone can never
safely steer the family bark over llfe's
Droublous sea. Force, tirmne>s, decision,
sternness, even severity, are often neces-
sary. A suitable degree of these is not
incompatible with genteneSs. 1t is not II
synonym for weakness. The genteness
that makes one great comes from subdu-
ed strength. This lovely fruit of the
spirit proves an element of power. The
" soft answer " often costs the answerer
dearly. Sweetness of spirit is the out
growth of self-control. Serenity of soul,
whatever be the constitutional character

after the time.
must tell YOU an anecdote of the first
marquis of AbercOrn. He invited number
of friends to dinner. The hour for dinner
was five, and all those invited knew it, of
course. Well, the hour arrived and but
one of the guests had come. Down sat
the marquis and this one guest to the
table. The marquis was punctual, if only
one of the others was. By-and by another
guest dropped in, and was very much
mortified to find dinner being eaten.
And one by one the rest came, and were
likewise mortified. But the marquis had
taught them all a good les on, and | ven
ture to say that the next time they were
invited none of them got in to the coffee
only, but were on hand for soup. General
Washington was so very punctual that on
one occasion, some friends who were ex-
pecting him ut a certain hour on finding
that he had not arrived, all concluded
that their watches must have got wrong;
and sure enough they had for Washington

through the upper Mississippi region
shortly after, and for hundreds of miles

Nor is any one too young to begin the
cultivation of punctualitY. The boy who
is on time at school, on time in class, on
time when sent on an errand, and so on,
is apt to be The punctual business or pro-
fessiona man. The habit Of promptness
is likely to cling all through life.
Some persons, on the contrary, go all
through life in slip shod, down-at-the
