Do Circumstances Mako Menu

AS a moral factor we can not too
strongly reprehend the notion that cir
cumstances make men The man is the
power; circumstances are needed to give
him a given value to the public. But
even this must be carefully qualified.
Environments can only direct and modify
native power. The saying as commonly
given conveys to our young people the
idea that, if shiftless and unequipped,
they fail in life, it is due to @circum-
stances" over which they had no control,
These victims" are the plaques of
society They groan and lament, and so
make appeal to pity.
Probably every one comes to his best in
one way or another; not, of course, to the
most notorious, the most public best, but
all in all his best. If he can conquer cir
cumstances he grows to larger circum-
stances. If he fails to conquer, he has no
occasion to whine that greater circum-
stances do not enable him to be master.
Here are farmers whipped around the
stumps by quacks and thistles, but the
Puritan colonists did not know how to be
whipped. 1t was said of a famous sur
geon that his nerve was so good that %he
would have been serene in hell" Envi-
ronments showed him; they did not make
him.-Cor. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

voIcgLEss HARMoNIEs.

Sometimes silence breathes upon the afr,
Full laden with music mutely deep,
That lulls the senses to oblivious sleep;
No silvery chords or murmuring lips may
dare
To vie in sweetness with this songster
rare,
Or share its harmonies, which, voiceless,
steep
The sacred reverie of the heart, and keep
The spirit kindred to the spell of prayer.
The purest notes, thrilled by impassioned
voice,
Are wasted then upon the hstless ear;
The wakened memory is left no choice
But to be wooed in fight to some old
year,
Where mother lips in holy prayer were
heard,
Or maiden love once spoke its sovereign
word.
-Stephen Henry Thayer.

When you see an action in itself noble,
to suspect the soundness Of its motive ia
like supposing every high thing, noun
tains among the rest, to be hollow. Yet
how many pride themselves on this un-
charitable follyi These are your silly
vulgar-wise, your shallow men Of penetIA-
ton, who measure all things by their own
httleness, and who, by protesting Justly to
know nothing else, seem to fancy they
earn right to know human nature exclu-
sively. Let none such be trusted in their
judgments upon any one-not even on
themselves always.-Family Herald:

Reports come in from all sections
of the country that more grass seed
is being sown than ever before. The
farmers seem convinced at last that
the soil and climate are as well
adapted to stock raising as the
world renowned blue grass region
of kentucky. Ii seems probable
that the farmers of the county will
devote more attention to fine stock
hereafter than heretofore, because
of the constantly decreasing profits
from other agricultural pursuits,
and it is fortunate for them that
the county can now furnish the an
finals they need. A few years ago
a man could not afford 10 buy fine
animal Of any kiud because he
must 90 t. Kentucky To select it or
rely on the Judgment and b nesty
OF the dealer A few OF the farms
in Giles are alleady stocked with
fine animals of the best strains that
the world has produced Though
the improvement of the live stock
of the county has been lett TO
small number OF men it has been
zealously worked by the few and
the county can boast of some spec
linens OF trotting, pacing and draft
horses, HUlsteiD, Shor' horn and
Jersey cattle, Cotswold and South
down sheep and Berkshire hogs as
well bred as the best animals in
Kentucky. Doubtless other stock
in the county deserve mention in
this connection. We only mention
those we have seen. We hope and
believe the sales of Giles county
stock will be better pstronized by
Giles county farmers this year than
ever before.

Emerson defines genius as the power to
