GEMS OF THOUGHT.

The only faith that wears well and holds its
color in all weather Is that which is woven Of
conviction.
II is true wisdom 10 speak but little Of the
Injuries you have received, or the good deeds
you have done.
II you would hit the fArk, you must aim
little above il; every arrow that flies feels
the attraction OF the earth.
The first Ingredient in conversation is
truth, the next good sense, tho third good
humor, and the fourth wit.
Bad habits are tho thistles Of the heart, and
every indulgence Of them Is a seed from
which wall spring a new crop OF weeds
Keepdoing. always doing. Wishing dream
Ing. intending, mourning, talking, signing aud
pining are idle aud profitless employments.
There is no real growth Of character ex-
cept by a conquest over opposing difficulties
the doing right when it 10 against our IN
cinations and prejudices
Sufficient 20 each day are the duties 70 be
done and the trials 10 be endured. No man
is strong enough % successfully carry today 5
duties aud to-morrow's anxieties piled on top.
Its a high, solemn, almost awful thought
for every individual that his earthly iniiu-
ence. which had a commencement here, Will
never, through all ages, were be the very
meanest Of all, have an end.
Almost all Of US live more in the future
than In the present Those who live mostly
in the past are on the high road % worse sor-
row than they know. To the healthy minded
the future has always the treasure 70 which
the present holds the keys.
That every day has lis pains and sorrows Is
universally experienced, and almost uniyers-
ally confessed, but let Us not attend only 70
mournful truths II we look impartially
about us we shall find that every day has
Likewise its pleasures and its joys
The Young SHOULD be taught % trust IN
Providence and themselves, and % fight adj
verse circumstances % the last gasp. In o
large majority OF such gladiatorial combats
be who thus champions fate 70 the uttermost
wins the day; and at the worst il isa consola-
ton TO defeat 20 feel that nothing man could
do TO secure victory was left undone.-
