The novel with purpose hes rarely done
any evil to the reader. The novel without
any purpose has lent itself easily to human
degradation. Art which debsses is as much
lower than art which elevstes IS the fallen
angel is below the white-winged messenger
of light and love.-Judge Tourgee, in the
Continent.

We can no more throw ourselves without
limit upon the principle Of forgiveness than
upon any other principle, and it would seem
to be possible to draw the line. You must
not forgive one injury simply to pass it on to
some one else; unless you can, 80 to speak,
absorb, and take the poisson out of Ut, and
sweeten it, and remain as strong and good
natured as you were before, it is your duty
to send it back the way it came.

eloquent divine said: "The wheels of the
righteous shrek and groan rs they toll up the
bill Of salvation and over the ruts Of tempts-
ton and the bridge of dsmnstion, and have
to scroTdge pretty lively to get up at all; bat

oil, with q rip and g whizz, and raises noldust
whatever" Now who says oratory is lost

There is g certain class of people who
take very gloomy view of religion and de
clare that we ought 70 do everything as
though we were 20 die the next minute,
| What a long faced community we should be
if that rule were carried out. A man
couldn't laugh at a joke; indeed, no one
would dare to msks joke for people to
| laugh at, and life would become slow
march to the grave. If to-day were TO bs
our last we should not lay in a stock Of pro-
| visions for tomorrow, we should not want
to 90 over the Brooklyn Bridge. and we
should not psy the note that beco mes due
today, fret because we have not ia e money,
but principally because our creditor won't
need it. The best wsy, in spite Of some
| gloomy souls, is TO live gladly, honestly aud
| happily as long as you can, to cry at the
things that ought to be cried over and to
laugh st the things that ought to be laughed
st. There is no good reason why man
should have crows feet before his time simply
because he is religious and wants TO do the
| right thing. We are reminded of story
| IL this connection. "You ought to engage
in nothing" said a solemn saint, whose soul
was ike squeezed lemon, "tbat you can't
open with prayer" The veg to whom he
addressed himself replied irreverently,
"Wen. suppose want dozen oysters, can
consistently open them with prayer"
