The Bright Side.-Look on the
bright side. The times may be hard,
but it will make them no easier to
wear gloomy and sad countenancs.
II is the sunshine, and not the cloud,
that gives beauty to the flower. There
is always before or around us that
which should cheer and fill the heart
with warmth and gladness. The sky
Is blue ten times where it is black
once. You have troubles, it may be.
So have others. None are free from
them-and perhaps it is we'll that
they should not be. They give sinew
and tone to life-fortitude and cour
quire skill, where there is nothing to
disturb it's surface. 1t is the duty of
age to man. That would be a dull
sea, and the sailor would never aG,
every one to extract all the happiness
and enjoyment he can from within
and without him; and, above all, be
should look OH the bright side. What
though things do look a little dark :?
The lane will have turning and the
night will end in broad day. In the
long run the great balance rights itself.
What appears i'll becomes well-that
which appears wrong, right.

Hand Shaking.

Hand shaking is a power. The
politician employs it with effect to
win votes. The DEVILS recruiting
officers make free and constant use
of it. The Church only is chary in
its employment. In the heartiness
of their greetings. the saloons try
to make itappear that the churches
are cold, and have no cordial well
come for those who drop into their
meetings. The result is that the
saloons have gained, and the church
es lost, many a promising, warm
hearted, socially-inclined young
man. A warm grasp of the hand
might have retained them. The
cordial feeling is in the churches,
There is more real warmth in them
than in the saloons, but the mem
bers have not been trained to show
it. Let it be manifested. Organ
ize hand-shaking brigade, if nee
essary-of every member of the
church. Stop after the prayer,
meeting little for practice-don't
shoot for the door as though you
were glad to get out of such place.
But don't shake hands as mere
formality-put your heart into it.
