Know thy Opportunities.

Each period Of life has its necessities
and opportunities. If opportunities go
by, they are lost. He who has left youth
behind him cannot go back to it again.
lie who is i'll the scene of lifc's meridian
cannot start again and climb the eastern
slope. If age has come there is 10 vigor-
Gus manhood work that can now be done.
Rivulets run into rivers, rivers into the
sea; vapOrs rise out of the sea to be borne
back over the hills whence they came, and
distilled into the sea. This is nature, but
there IS nothing in the economy of life
corresponding 10 this No river of hu-
manity runs back into the rivulets: no
sea back Into the river There is but one
voyage from the cradle to the grave.
1t takes no far search to find the sick
the sad and poor. The trouble is, We
wait for the large things to command us.
and slight the invitation Of small things
close by us. A word frequently is of
great cheer to some sad heart Life il
made up Of words and deeds thrown into
the hours as they hurry by There is
motto on the temple of Delphos which
read: Know thy opportunity This is
one of the great lessons of life which
should be learned early.
Many do with opportunities as children
do at the seashorc--fll their hands with
sand and let the grains fall through.
After all, it is contact of soul that wins ::
and there is an open highwhy to every
soul; you will find it if you search for it
in the spirit of the Master God brings
men close to us that we may love them
and reach them with the truth. Some are
Scared all over with sin and crme-so
degraded and repulsive that we shrink
from contact with them; but they are mem
and down deep within them there is n
yearning for the life of God.
This is your time to warn and save.
Here is your opportunity; don't miss it..
You cannot do tomorrow the work of to-
day. He whom you would save will be
elsewhere, you will be elsewhere. or other
things will engage you.

A WISE PREsIDENT.-When General
Arthur was told that his veto of the Chi
nese bill would be injurious to the Repub-
lican party in the Pacific States, he gave a
reply which ought to be preserved in let
ters OF gold for the instruction ofall future
statesmen
He said he had not considered the sub
Ject as partisan. and had not thought
whether one party or the other would be
advanced through the Executive approval
or disapprOval of the bill. But he saw
that American principles were involved
which had heen in vogue for century ;
and ii either party should gain any per-
manent advantage, il would be the party
that stood on true American ground.
This is a wise answer. 1t shows a high
and noble appreciation of the philosophy
of political controversies. There can be
no mistake in steadily maintaining Amer
ican principles, which have been in vogue
for hundred years, against the passions
or the interests of any unenlightvned and
prejudiced locality.-N y Sun.

A PSALM OF LIFE.
BY HENRY wADswoRrH LoNGFELLow.

Tell me not in mournful numbers.
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumhers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal:
Dust thou art to dust returnest,
Was not spoken OF the soul.
Not enjoyment. and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way:
But TO act. that each tomorrow
Find Us father than to-day.
Art is long. and Time is fleeting,
and our hearts. though stout and b,ayc
Still like muflled drums. are beating
Funeral marches to the grave
In the worlds broad field Of battle
In the bivouac OF Life,
BE not like dumb. driven cattle
BE hero in the strife!
Trust no Future, howeer pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act act in the living Present!
Heart within. and God DER head
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime.
And. departing leave behind US
Footprints on the sand of time
Footprints. that perhaps another.
Sailing Der lifes solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let US. then be, up and doing,
With heart for any fate,
still achieving. still pursuing.
Learn to labor and 10 wait.

perception which is impossible when the

purifier and vitalizer known.
