that certain articles were not bought but

seuted for the things before opportunity
was given to return them. Tho expenses
with all just allowances exceed all esti-

Brace Up.

Trying to walk with one foot in
the grave does not help us to get
along. Lift up your head and heart,
your hands and your feet, your all,
and do what you can, making your
self as useful as possible.
Neither bread and raiment, nor
even religion, are found in the grave.
Fretting about things which can
not be changed except by your own
conduct is like finding fault witt,
your cook for giving you bad Coffee
for breakfast when the fault is with
yourself in providing her with an
inferior article to make from, while
Genuine Mandhellng Java
may be readily obtained at slight
difference in cost.
Keep your temper, and let the
bad Coffee be warning against pro-
viding more like it. The best use
OF past follies and errors is to let
hhem teach us to be more wise now.
