GEMS OF THOUGHT.
CYNIoIsy Is old at twenty.

A TALENT is perfected in solitude;
character in the streams Of the world.
lHE path among the roses l.eth soft,
Suu-kssed and radiant under youthful feet
But on wlntry way true hands more Oft
Do meet and cling III pressure soft and sweet
BAD men hate sin through fear OF
punishment. Good men hate sin through
very love Of virtue.
A CHEERFUL temper, joined with in
nocence, will make beauty attractive,
knowledge delightful and wit good
natured.
The best way to apologize is to do
such kindness to the offended one that
he will forget that you ever attempted to
injure him.
IF THOU shalt be In heart child,
FOriyns, tender, meek and mid,
Though with light stains Of earth denied,
OF soul, 1t shalt DO well.
THE first ingredient in good CONVERSE
ton is truth, the next good sense, tho
third good humor and the fourth wit.
SOME daysmust needs be full Of gloom,
YET must we use them AZ wcmly,
Talk less about the years 10 come
| Live, love ana labor more to-day
The plaintive wailing of the minor
mingles itself with every earthly melody
and it is only by-and-by that the veil
shall be lifted, and the full chords OF
harmony peal on our ear unmarried by
that undertone of pain.
Yet though thou fade
From thy dead leaves let fragrance rise,
And teach the maid

WHEN one thoughtfuIly considers the

her ruin or perfection, nothing Is more
pathetic and death itself is not E>~fe

ing 2,031 letters. Many contained
money, hut none had been opened.
When he didn't feel like walk he some
