MAKES THE MAN.

A man is what his character
makes him. If his character is
good, so he is; if his character is
bad, he is likewise. Character is
the foundation upon which society
and governments are built. He
who is destitute of a good character
has reached the extreme boundary
of poverty. He who has a good
character has heritage which rail-
road kings cannot buy "A good
name is rather to be chosen than
great riches, and loving favor rather
than silver and gold" There are
many men who do not believe this,
as they disbelieve many of the de-
clarations of the Most High. Char
acter, like friendship, sis of slow
growth. Many things may be
obtained at once, but ne who would
possess the ripened fruits OF noble
character must learn to toll and
wait. He must master passion,
subdue lust, and cultivate every
virtue.

GONE AFTER WATER.
From the Greensboro ga. Sun.

Z run Juc OEGGuSuOTO tId. sun.
A story is told on a Sunday school
teacher in certain backwoods set
Element in a neighboring county,
which is worth publishing. She had
new class of young scholars, the
parents of which had neglected to
give then any instruction in their
catechism whatever. Coming to the
first boy in the class she asked him
who made him. He did not know.
She told him God, and urged him
to remember it. OF the next boy
she asked who was the oldest man.
He did not know, and the teacher
told him Methuselah. So she went
on down the class, asking each
question and giving them the an
swer.
While she was thus engaged the
first boy went to the bucket after
some water. The teacher returned
to the head of the class, and not
knowing that any was absent she
asked the first boy who made him.
Without hesitation the boy quick
ly replied, ''Methuselahr -
"No," exclaimed the teacher in
establishment, "God made you!"
mo, he didn't persisted the ur-
chin, with confidence, "the boy God
made is gone after water" The
teacher gave up the class.
