CHARACTER.

How Good and Had Qualities Grow and
Are DevelOped--The Right Time to Build
for the Future.
You know, dears. there are shops in
our large cities where one can go and
buy suit Of clothing all ready to be
put right on and worn; but have any of
you ever heard Of shop where ready
made" characters were for saleP No,
indeed! Character is something that
yrows and develops in every boy and
girl Little by little every day, COWS
with their growth and strengthens with
their strength, until, at last, like cloak.
or coat, it envelopes them. Look at papa.
He is All honest, upright man, prompt,
conscientious and reliable in business,
and ut home tender. atiectonate and con-
siderate. Now, Go you suppose he waited
until he became man to develop these
qualities? And did mamma gain her win
someness and gentle manners. her pa
tience aud forbearance. alter she had
grown to wolnanhoodp No, my dears.
these admirable traits were cultivated in
youth and encouraged until they be-
came fixed and permanent qualities.
Show me boy who likes to lie abed in
the morning, who is always behind at
breakfast, late at school, negiectful of
his lessons and duties, and always max
ing excuses for his hardness, and l win
show you q man who is lazy and unre-
liable, and who will never prosper -
one whom no one will honor or respect.
And the girl who is idle, careless of
her. appearance, snappish and snarlish,
and inclined 10 procrastinaie and put

dilatory woman whom none will ad-

Now is tile time then, dears, to build
for your future, and grandma hopes if
any Of you have formed habits that can
not fail to bring unhappiness when
you are older, You will get rid Of them
at once b,:ore they become too deeply
rooted. Somebody has taken the word
habit and worked it out in this clever
way, which shows how Q bad habit
sticks, aud how hard it is to get rid Of.
"Habit is hard to overcome II you

The Best Not Shown.

After we do all we can in the way Of
making our light shine before men,
there is still a part Of the life remain
ing that no man can see. 1t may, too,
be the best we have. II one be mo lest,
as all Christians ought to be, he will

to all men, the things of his inner life
which deeply interest him. but about
which he may have more or less un.
certainty. If, on the other hand, he
be- without uncertainty and has the
blessing of a we'll grounded full assur-
ance, he will be possessed Of so much
that he can not tell 1t if he will. The
infinite grace that is given him is not
to be expressed in finite wor,is; is not,
indeed. to be formulated in his own
thoughts. In looking. therefore, at
Christians of the better kind let us not
conclude that they have set out befor,

good deeds the very best they have

CHOICE SELECTIONS.

Ignorance is neither the mother OF
devotion nor of usefulness. God is not
accustomed to sanctify ignorance -
2e1as Baptist
We are apt to forget how easy and
common it is for God to turn the wis.,
dom OF men into folly; to Illustrate the
tokens of the liars and make the
prophets mad. How men blow great
bubbles and God bursts them with the
slightest touch.
While busy in harvesting the golden
grain and wisely preparing for the COM
ing winter, it is most important we
should be busy gathering shcaves for
the Kingdom of God, and preparing our
souls for eternity. May It not be said,
in the day of Judgment, BY any who
read these lines: "'rhe harvest is past,
the summer is ended, and we are not
saved. "-Rerald and Presbyter.
OF all the lessons that humanity
has to learn in life's school. the hardest
is to learn TO wait Not to wait with
the folded hands that claim LIES prizes
without previous effort, but having
struggled, and crowded the slow years
with trial, see no such result as effort
seems to warrant-nay, perhaps, dis
aster instead: 10 stand firm at such
crises Of existence, to preserve ones
self-poise and self.respect, not to loose
hold or to relax effort this Is greatness
whether achieved BY man or woman
whether the eye Of The world notes Il
or it is recorded in the book which the
light Of eternity alone shall make cleas
10 the vision. -ESchaaSe.

Helpless Upon . Frlendless Seal

Who, in taking passage in great trans.
Atlantic steamer, does not feel thrill Of
exultstion over her magnificent power.
Against her the Storm King may hurl his
elemental forces, nor pierce her armor, nor
stop her onward course.
But let me describe q scene when, one
morning In mid.ocean, there came an
alarm from the pilot house followed by q
cry: 1.-THE ships rudder is lost" From
the confident expression, CONSERVATION
came to every face. The wheelman being
helpless to direct her course, the vessel
was at the mercy of wind and wave.
The captain had been negligent-the
hangings OF the rudder were allowed to
wear weak, and suddenly it had dropped
deep into the sea!
Strong in intellect, in physical vigor, in
energy and in ambition, man confronts,
undaunted, gigantic tasks and commands
applause for his magnificent achievements.
But, all unexpectedly, an alarm comes
the rudder Of his constitution is gone. He
has been careless Of its preservation; mem
tai strain, nervous excitement, irregular
habits, over work, have destroyed the ac-
tion Of bis kidneys and liver. 1his would
not occur were Warmers safe cure used to
maintain vigor. And even. now 1t may re.
store vitality to those organs and give
back to the man that which will lead him
to the haven Of his ambition.-IRe Traveller.
