r aniIy Matters.

A Chinese proverb says that the con-
jurer does not deceive the man who
beats the gong for him.
Love that pines, and whines, and
envies, and feels splteful 1T every at
tention not lavished On itself and its
own qualification is not love at all, al
though it goes SO often by the name,
and is mistaken for it.
A really good man bad rather be de.
celved than be suspicious, and rather
forego his own right than run the vent
ure of doing even hard thing. This
is the temper of that charity Il which
the apostle says that it shall never fail.
What can we do, each of Us, to help
others to bear their burden of sadness9
This-if we are merry, our mIrth will
not be lesseped by trying to bring good
cheer to others less fortunate than our.
selves; If we too are sad, our sadness
will be made lighter by forgetting our
selves In thinking for thers.
In life things are important, not &C.
cording to their individual measure
ment OF emphasis, but according to
their report to the eye or to the ear.
s ngly they are like grains of sand, but
united they are vast as the shore. The
shore csnn,t spare it, sand. Human
life makes itself by It's little deeds, and
becomes great by the sum of all its
minute things.
1t is the health, rather than the
strength, that is the great RI requirement
IF ~
1t is not the power to travel great dis
tauces, carry burdens, lift great weights,
or overcome great material obstruc-
tions; it ia simply that condition of

ty which shall enable each man, IN his
place, to pursue his calling, and work
on in his working life with the greatest
amount OF comfort to himself aud USE
fulness to his fellowmen.

Knocked out OF them at public schools !;

never lesvc their homes, are accustom-
ed to have it 'sall their own way" and

this luxurious home, and the spelling
and petting Of silly and absurdedly fond
parents, and are launched on the world,
to stand or fall by their merits alone,
what becomes of themq Alas, too
often, like leaves dropped from the
branch, they are driven amlessly,
hopelessly along, struck by every pass
ing gust of wind, soiled by every for
eign contact; until they sometimes dis.
appear from cur sight forever, whirled
up to form the heap of withered ones
whose mission is past.

removed, the outcome promises to be
the overthrow, as q political power in
