PEARLS OF THOUGHT.
Failure should be the stepping-stone

Failure should be the stepping-stons
to success.
Who can answer where any road
leads to Lucille.
Stay not until you are told of oppor.
tunitles to do good; inquire after them.
The best rule for good looks is to
keep happy and cultivate kind dispo-
sition.
BE always displeased at what thou
art, If thou desire to attain to what
thou art not; for where thou hast
pleased thyself, there thou abidest.
OF all the gifts that nature can give
us, the faculty of remaining silent, or
of answering apropos, is perhaps the
most useful.
In enterprise of every kind, it is bet
ter to lose the game by card too much
than card too little; for it sounds
better to be rash and daring than tim.
orous and cowardly.
Success is obtained by mixing two
parts of common sense with three parts
of will, and stirring both in the bowl
of ambition, with the spoon of perse-
verance.
Laziness grows on people. 1t begins
in cobwebs and ends in iron chains
The more business a man has to do the
more he is able to accomplish, for he
learns to economize his time.

A Christmas Carol,

A Christmas Carol.
There's song in the air!
There's star in the sky!
There's n mothers deep prayer,
And a baby's low cry!
And the star rains its fire while tho beautiful
sing,
For the manger of Bethlehem cradles king
There's n tumult Of joy
Der the wonderful birth,
For the Virgins sweet bny
Is the Lord OF the EARTH
Aye! tie star Rims its fire and the beautiful
sing,
For the mnnger Of Bethlehem cradles king
In the light Of that star
lie the ages impcNrlel;
And that song from atlr
Has swept over the woIld.
Every hearth is aillmc, and the boautiful
sing
In the homes OF the nations that Jesus is
king.
We rejoice in the light,
And we echo the song
That comes down through the n'g't
From the heavenly throng,
Aye! we shout TO the lovely evangel they
bring,
And we g'eet in his cradle our Saviour and
King

Stepping.Stones TO Success.
Learn your business thoroughly.

Learn your business thoroughly.
Keep atone thing--in nowise change.
Observe system and order in all you do
and undertake.
Be self-relant; do not take too much
advice, but rather depend on yourself.
Never fail to keep your appoint
ments, nor to be punctual to the min
ute
Never be idle, but keep your hands
or mind usefully employed except when
sleeping.
Use charity with all; be ever gener-
ous in thought and deed-help others
along life's thorny path.
Make no haste to be rich remember
that small and steady gains give COM.
-petency and tranquility of mind.
% Never put off till tomorrow what
you can do to-day, arFnever' trouble
others with your complaints. .-..-- d.

There are 100000 families in the
United States. An exchange wants to
know if anybody can conceive of the
value of even little improvement on
each one of these farms in year. 1t
says that on every farm there should
be "more thorough cultivation, better
implements, and above all, better care
taken of them ; better fences, better
barns better stock, better homes, and
more home enjoyments, more social
gatherings, more family picnics, in
which the help are allowed to partic.
ipate more products about the farm
for boys and girls to have personal
interest in more good books and pa
pers more smiles and fewer frowns. /;
forbearance; less impatience more
pleasant words at home; more time
and sunlight in the parlor, and no room
about the house, nor anything about
the farm "too g6od' for father moth
boys and girls to enjoy,

Why General Sheridan Walks.

Gen. Sheridan never wants q
carriage for himself. He never uses
one in Washington if he can avoid it.
If the day is fine he walks. If not, he
rides in a street car. When his war
horse, Winchester, died, few years
ago, says the Washington Post, his
love for horseilesh went out of him.
A gentleman who knew him well in
boyhood says that the first time Sheri-
dan ever bestrode a horse was when
another boy put him on a fiery colt, I'm
saddled and unbridled, and told him to
hold ON by his knees. The animal
galloped across the country for several
miles and then came-t to n halt, and
Sheridan was still holding on,
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1883-12-05

There is often a great deal Of sense
in the Mother Goose rhymes,if only we
know what is intended to he taught by
them. A writer in Golden Days thus
explains the story Of the "four and
twenty blaclbirds;" The birds are the
twenty~four hours. The bottom of the
pie is the earth, and the top crust the
sky that overreaches it, The opening
of the pie is dawn Of day, when the
birds begin to sing. "The King sitting
in the parlor counting out his money"
is the sun, and the golden pieces that
slip through his fingers are the golden
sunshine. The Queen in the kitchen
is the moon, and the honey with which
she relishes herself is the moonlight
The raid is the day dawn and the
clothes she hangs out are the clouds;
while the bird who "nips off her nose"
is the hour of sunrise.

the case, and their information is said to
have been so accurate that the party con-
