Gems of Thought.

The greatest work has always gone
hand in hand with the most fervent
moral purpose.-Sidney Lanier.
Patience, humility and utter forget
ness of self are the true royal qualities
Thomas Hughes.
conscientious person should be-
ware of getting into a passion for every
sharp word one speaks comes back and
lodges like a silver in ones own heart
and such slivers hurt us worse than
they ever can anyone else.-Hdrriet
Beecher ,St0aUe
We would never have had a Shakes
peare, or a TennysOn, or a Mrs. Brown
ing, or George Eliot, if these elect and
diTTiinely gifted souls had chosen to know
only as much of life as good society"
would pronounce proper Katherine
Eleanor ConWay.
Self-love, irritation, Impotence, are
the enemies against which conscience
obliges us to combat, and the tissue of
our livesis almost entirely composed of
the continual action and reaction of in
ternal strength against external circum-
stances, and of external circumstances
against internal strength-Mme de
Stdel.
In my opinion, the want of occupa-
ton is more the plague of society than
OF solitude. Nothing more apt to mar
row the mind; nothing produces more
tritiing, silly stories, mischief making
lies, than being eternally shut up in a
room with one another, reduced as the
only alternative to be constantly twad-
dling.-Roussedu
Over against every prominent allow
ance for a personal luxury the celestial
record book ought to show some entry
in favor of the cause of goodness and
suffering humanity; for every guinea
that goes into theater, museum, an
athenaum or the treasury of music
hall there ought to be some twin guinea
pledged for truth, or flying on some
errand of mercy. Then we have a right
to our amusements and our grateful
pleasures King.
Politeness is Christian duty. A man
has no more right to be impolite than
he has to steal. Politeness is often
synonymous with Christianity; that is,
politeness will often lead man to do
the same things which Christianity will
lead him to do. Politeness keeps a
man from saying that which will need
lessly wound another's feelings. So
does Christianity. Politeness keeps a
man from INDUCING in habits which an
noy those around him. So does Chris
tianity. Politeness is often Christianity
applied to mannerS.-GdI Hamilton.
Were a man able to write in seven
languages, could he daily converse with
all the sweets of liberal sciences to
which the most accomplished make
pretensions; were he to entertain Kim
self with all ancient and modern his
tory; and could he feast continually on
the curiosities which the different
branches of learning may discover to
him, all this would not afford the raw
ishing satisfaction which he might find
in relieving the distresses of a poor,
miserable neighbor, nor would it bear
any comparison with the heartfelt de-
light which he might feel by doing SER
vice to the kingdom of our great Saviour
in the world. Cotton Mather.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1890-09-17
Enjoyed His Vacation.
From the Boston Journal.

A young man employed in one of the
large retail dry goods stores was granted
a vacation, and it was expected that be
would HE to the mountains or 60 to the
shore. The first morning he was free
he walked through the store leisurely,
nodding to his comrades behind the
counters, but speaking to no one. He
then made his exit. The second day he
was an hour later, but he passed in
review his toiling associates and then
went out. This he repeated for six
days. When he returned on Monday
he was asked why this strange behavior.
He replied that he had felt for a long
time a desire to be able to do as he
pleased in the store, and he had now
