Whatever you dislike in another per.
son take care to correct in yourself.
Every man has o paradise around
him till he sins and the angel of al ac-
cusing conscience drives him from his
Eden.
An indisoreet man is more hurtfnl
than an illnatured one; for the latter
will only attack his enemies and those
he wishes i'll to; the other Injuries in
diffe, sntly both friend and foe.
A good man is the best friend, and
therefore soonest to be chosen, longest to
be retained and indeed never to be part
ed with, unless he ceases to be that for
which he was chosen.
Wisdom, integrity, justice, piety,-
these are kingly, and whose has them Is
the best born of men, though laid in an
ASS crib, or trained in the soil between
the burrows.
He who lives u pure life is drawn up
ward into q higher moral atmosphere by
every accession to his fund of knowl-
edge. Tell him OF a new duty, and he at
once strives to perform it; convince him
of a neglected Obligation, and he has
tens to fulfill it; open up to him a
broader view, or give him q higher stan
dard, and his conduct quickly follows it.
His thought does not rest in o mere
cold admission of dry truths and logi-
cal arguments; it is caught up by warm
sympathies and heartfelt desires and
translated into living activity.
While the many different sentiments
we hold toward those bound to us by
different ties are symbolized each by
different and appropriate conduct the
universal sentiment OF brotherhood be-
tween man and man finds a fitting man
Hesitation in politeness. While our
friends may claim our love and loyalty,
the aged our reverence, great and good
men our respect and esteem, and the I'M
fortunate our sympathy, all may justly
claim that general regard that expresses
itself in polite behavior.
Good nature has Its lights and shades,
and we need to recognize them both.
Easy, amiable people do not always
do their full share toward the worlds
progress. They oil the wheels Of life, 1t
is true, and thus by preventing friction,
make its motions easier; but they do
not always supply the force needed to
moyait.
Infinite toll would not enable you to
lsweep away a mist; but, by ascending
q little, you may often overlook it
altogether. So it is with our moral
improvement; we wrestle fiercely with
a vicious habit, which could have no
hold upon us If WI assembled into q
a higher moral atmosphere.
How can men judge rightly OF our
actions, appearing as they do but singly,
or in fragments to them? actions oil
which they see the smallest part; while
good and bsd take place in secret, and,
for the most part, nothing comes to
light but an Indifferent show.
Indeed, what mortal is there OF us
who would find his satisfaction enhanc.
ed by an opportunity of comparing the
picture he presents to himself OF his
own doings, with the picture they make
on the mental retina OF his neighbors.
God is where the sun CLOVIS, God is
where the violet blooms, is where you
bird is Tapping its wings, is where this
worm is moving. Though no friend. no
mansbe with thee, fear thou nothing,
thy God is here.
OIL what a glory doth this world put
on for him who, with fervent heart, goes
forth under the bright and glorious sky,
and locks on duties well performed and
days well spent.
Ifyou think much you are sure to
generate ideas. These will find express
sion in their proper place, and be
clothed as good taste demands.
Those delights of the senses to which
we abandon ourselves in youth become
the u~nspeakable humiliations of age.
Welcome rational pleasures, but
regulate their cost with intelligent
reference to your cash income, and lay
your dearest deyotions on the altar OF
healthful and abundant sleep.
There are some people who really be-
lieve that '.life is an empty dream"
Nonsensel To the man or woman who
so desire it, here'sl lots OF sunshine in
this life. What If the clouds do come Z
Brush them away. What if you do have
trouniep Millions of others likewise
suffer. What if the heart is crushed
now and then? There is q healing balm
somewhere. You can be happy with all
these trials. Don't grumble and find
fault with everything you come in
contact with. Be cheerful, and try and
make Others happy, ever il you are load.
