and amid peals of joyous laughter,
l was planted in my final resting
place. And now the child began to
study; she learned too much for poor
ignorant tree like me to tell about. All
know is that very grave-looking mas
tiers would come, then my darling would
leave me, and l could see through the
window tho curly head bent over a
wise-looking book, and the time would
seem very long before she would come
back again. Then there came day

went away to learn more still, heard
it whispered. l was left alone-for the
father and mother could not endure
their home with their darling gone. so
they went away upon long journey.
Ny heart was heavy with grief, but |,
too, had much to learn; though not from
books, but from the flowers and birds,
from the rain-drops and the snow-drops;
from the sunshine and the wind, from
the starlight and the moonlight, and
from the blue sky and the storm clouds;
and became the wisest tree in the gar
don. for learned how to make all these
things comfort me.
After a very long time had passed
away, my darling came back, my child
still, and yet so changed; the eyes were
the same, but the sunny hair had grown
brown, and she was so tall and so differ
emit, thought She would come and
dream the hours away by my side.
Sometimes she would seem to be seeing
something far away, would smile SO
sweetly, and then the eyes would fill
with tears. thought: ''Oh, my child
has learned too much;" l thought so
still when one day handsome youth
sought her beneath my shade, and l was
sure of it when heard what he whis-
pered; but changed my mind when my
pet ceased to dream and became happy
and gay again, and she laughed SO mer-
rily that the youth and l would always
laugh, too.

NEW YEAR THOUGHTS.
Labor the True Key of Success In Life
Few Excellent Maxims.

A Few Excellent Maxims.
Renewed feelings Of ambition are
synonymous with the opening of the
new year More resolutions are made
than at any other time, and as often are
they alas broken. But with some the
resolutions made with the dawn of
new year have been carried through to
it's close. Numerous lives of honor and
achievement can be traced to some de-
termination of purpose made upon an
occasion such as the first day of the year
affords for fresh start in the journeyof
life. We all desire success; the prob
lem Of life is its winning. Every per-
son carries in his or her own hand the
key that unlocks either the door of sue
cess or failure.
Tho true key of success is labor, and
it requires a strong, resolute will to turn
it. L. is hard, earnest work, step by
step, that insures success, and never was
this truth more potent than at the
present time. Positions of trust and
eminence are no longer secured at
single leap. Men and women have ceased
to succeed in a hurry. Occasionally
there will be an exception, but the in
stances are rare. Success, writer has
said, is the child of confidence and perse-
verance, and never was the meaning Of
a word more clearly defined. The secret
of many successful careers is the
thorough performance Of whatever has
been undertaken.
An excellent maxim is that which
counsels us never to put our hands TO
any thing into which we can not throw
our whole energies harnessed with the
very best of our endeavors Perseyer-
ance is essential to success, since 1t is
often achieved only through a success
sion of failures. In spite of our best
efforts, failures are in store for the ma
iority Of the race. 1t remains, then, for
us all to do the best we can under all
circumstances, bearing in mind that
races are not always won by the swift
est feet nor triumph in battle secured
by the strongest arms. 1t is not SO much
the possession of swiftness or strength
as it is the right application OF them by
which success is insured.
In starting out upon the journey Of
life 1t is we'll:
First, to obtain every kernel of knowl-
edge within your reach.
Study people for the knowledge they
can impart to you.
Read books for what thoy can teach
you. Next, see what your temperament
best suits you for.
Mark your tendencies and apply them.
Bo sure you have not mistaken your
calling.
Once certain, apply yourself to your
chosen work.
Then work hard, earnestly and inces-
sanity.
Don't consider any thing beneath you.
Be patient, honest and pleasant in
manner.
Treat all persons alike, high or low.
Have smile for all, pleasant word
for everybody.
Success may not come at first, but it
will not be far off, and when it does
come 1t will DO the sweeter for its delay.
