party who is in the wrong.

but contented spirit is better.

always have reason TO be afraid of him
self.
The devi! can't keep anything away
from Gods children that they really

he found it.
Those who have the greatest !lnowl-
edge of God. and enjoy most of His
love are these who have had the great
est need of Him.

the mind, o thirst for it must have been
previously created in the heart.
A LADY writer claims that where one
man kills himself for love of woman a
hundred others go over the dam on &C.
count of their debts. The young woman
speaks wisely.
The gospel cannot become blessing
to the sinner unless he believes il.
America cannot give freedom to the
foreigner until lie lands on her shores.
Medicine cannot benefit q sick man
until he takes it. The compass can be
OF no service to the sailor until he will

The lady might have expected from
this remark what was to come, but it

directions and told the maid that it was

servant in the end said that to obligc
her mistress she would do her best.
In due time the Duchess arrived, and
after the first greetings had been ex-
changed the maid was summoned to
conduct her to her chamber. The girl
