Bring up a child in the way that he

While circumstances may often
make or mar mans life, we may often
make the circumstance. The only way
to conquer circumstance, is to be the
biggest circumstance yourSelf.-Anon.
There is not a man in the world but
desires to be, or to be thought to be, a
wise man; and yet, if he considered how
little he contributes himself thereunto,
he might wonder to find himself in any
tolerable degree of understanding
Clarendon.
Only those who know the supremacy
of the intellectual life, the life which
has seed of ennobling thought and
purpose within it, can understand the
grief Of one who falls from that serene
activity into the absorbing soul, vast

George Eliot

chief element of all greatness and good.

While ten men watch for chances,

In spite of pretense and its short
lived success, men are generally valued
at what they are worth. Sincerity and
honest endeavor will not die unrecog-
nized, although their recognition has
not been sought or expected. Those
whom the world has most greatly hon.
ored have generally thought and cared
the least about its plaudits. Absorbed
in their undertakings and conscious of
their own capacities, they have been
masters both of themselves and of their
work; and public esteem, unasked and
unsought, has been poured upon them
in full measure.-N. Y. Ledger.

A Chicago Epispde.

One of Chicago's social stars has the rep.
utation of being cold and naughty and
'snobbish" with those who do not like
her, while those favored with q close ac-
quaintance say it is only mannerism. Be
it mannerism or snobbishness, the star pre-

rules as much as possible, even carrying it

Casey, formerly of this city.
Tell the fainting soul in the weary form,
There's a world Of the purest bliss,
That is linked as the soul and form are linked
BY a covered bridged TO this.
Yet to reach that realm on the other shore
We must pass through transient gloom,
And must walk unseen. unneiped and alone
Through that covered bridge-the tomb.
But we all pass over on equal terms,
For the universal toll
Is the outer garb which the hand OF God
Has flung around the soul
Though the eye is dim. and the bridge is dark
And the river it spans IS wide,
Yet faith points through 20 a shining court
That looms en- the other side.
To enable our feet in the next days march
To Christ. up that golden ridge.
We must all lie down for one nights rest
Inside OF the covered bridge.
