EVERY evil to which we do not sue
eumb is benefactor. As the Sandwich
islander believes that the strength and
valor of the enemy he kills passes into
himself, so we gain the strength of the
temptation we resist.
In mankind the will appears without
its mask only in the affections and the
passions. And that is the reason why
passion, when it speaks, always wins
credence, no matter what the passion
may be; and rightly so.
WE may come to look upon the death
of our enemies and adversaries, even
long after it has occurred, with just as
much regret as we feel for that of our
friends, viz: when we miss them as wit
nesses of our brilliant success.
The great high road of human wei
fare lies along the old pathway of steady
persistent and work in the truest spirit
will invariably be the most successful.
Success treads on the heels of every
right effort.
WHEN mans temper runs away
with him on every occasion, we have
right to argue want of balance some
where, weakness above; and violent
tempered man, no matter what his other
amiable qualities may be, is never one
to be relied on as permanent and steady
support. He may fail just when most
his help is needed.
A MAN owes many debts to others
which they can never enforce, and many
obligations which no one will claim, but
the on-fulflment of which will bring
woe to him. One of the most response
BILE of these is searching for the right
path, testing his ideals, distinguishing
between stroug des ire and a sense of
duty.
IT takes two to make quarrel, but it
lies in the power of one to prevent it.
The young wife will act wisely and for
the happiness of all, herself included, in
the home if she always strives to bar the
entrance to quarrels by loving patience,
gentle words and ready forgiveness; but
this plan of action must begin at the
very commencement of her married life.
The door once opened is difficult to close.
though it can be done by much trying.
THERE are no fixed stars in the firma-
ment of mankind. Each shines for the
time appointed, and then is blotted out
to make room for others. But the heav-
ems never grow wholly dark, for, as one
great light fades, flickers and is extin-
guished, another appears in an unex-
pected quarter. Every age has its ex-
ceptional men, and though it may seem
impossible to ill their places when they
depart, it somehow happens such is the
richness of human nature--that their
places are always filed.
MUCH of the pain that is suffered in
the world is part of necessary educa-
tion that we could ill afford to spare
Through pain we learn to adapt our
selves to Natures laws, to preserve life
and health, to avoid accident. Many
valuable lessons of government and
self-guidance are thus learned; many
successive steps in civilization and pro-
gress are due to its influence. IL is one
of Natures benefcent methods of lead
ing us upward and onward, and those
who are wise will patiently endure her
penalties and gratefully accept the mes
sages they bear.
ONE of the most important duties of
a parent in bringing up child is to pre-
vent the child from doing itself harm.
The child does not know, for instance,
that unlimited sweets and sours iniure
the digestion and impair the teeth; the
mother does know it, and it is her duty
to have the child's supply of sweets and
sours limited. The child does not know
that the opportunity of getting knowl-
edge at school, if neglected, is not like
ly to return, nor that its future happiness
and success depend very much upon its
improving its opportunities which its
school now affords; the parents do know
