BROTHERS AND SISTERS. Broth
ers and sisters are all the better
for sharing one another's studies
and games up to a certain point.
The girl who can handle a bat
and get a fair number OF runs
at cricket vindicates her right to
consideration. The boys will
never speak of her as "Only a
girl" end she will be all the
franker and none the less sweet
for healthy mixture Of work
and play. Good comradeship|
between brothers and sisters is a
thing much to be desired; itI
saves the girls from prudery and
the boys from boorishness, sweet
ems the natures of both, and acts
by restraining every one from
doing or saying what would be
shameful in the eyes of the
"other side"
HUMAN FRAILTY.- The best
of men appear sometimes to be a
strange compound of contradic-
tory qualities; and were the
accidental oversights and folly
of the wisest man, the failings
and imperfections of a religious
man, the hasty acts and passion
ate words of a meek man-were
they to rise up in judgement
against them, and an ill-natured
Judge to be suffered to mark in
this manner what has been done
amiss, what character so unex-
ceptionable as to be able to stand
before hint"
The chief characteristic of a
girl should be truth. of all the
duties, the love of truth, with
faith and constancy in it, ranks
I first and highest. Truth is God
To love Sod and to love truth
, are one and the same. 1t i;
this quality more than any Other
that commands the esteem anC
and respect and secures the con
) fidence of others.

A man who possesses ever
other title to our respect excer
that of courtesy is in danger {
forteiting them all. A rud
manner renders its owner alway
liable to affront. He is neve
without dignity who AVOID
wounding the dignity of other,
The best preliminary prepare
ton for even the studies of
specialist is a liberal education
Such an education connects hir
with the wide circle of though
and knowledge, and saves hir
from narrowness and hobbie,
The man who can do one thin
best is usually man who coul
have done other things well.
