Saws Samuel Smiles "By imitation
OF acts the character becomes slowly ana
imperceptibly, but at length decidedly {
formed. The several acts may seem In
them elves trivial, but so are the CON
tinuous acts Of daily HE Like snow
Aakes they fall unperceiyed; each fake
added to the pile produces no sensible
change, and yet the accumulation OIL
snow-Aakes MAKES the avalanche" And
thus IL Is, the soft and gentle pressure OF
each act OF daily life builds character
The influence OF smile or frown,
curse or blessing, may, like stroke
mon the surface of clear lake, produce
a ripple which will never be lost. The
power OF home influence and home train
ING may be, for time, laid aside, but Is
never lost. 1t is here that the character
receives its first Impressions for good or
evn. IL Is here that the lnclinations are
0rst nodded into definite shape. Inc
li,tie bandit who lies in walt 10 seize a
neighboring child and take from II It's
marbles and apples is none the less young
highway robber, because Of the size
Of the parties and transaction. II not
checked in his course his vocation patur- !
aily leads him, when older, INTO the high. |

masks he will rejoice in the watchword
nHalt! Stand and deliver" Inc poy
