that is to come in their way.
There is great deal of genuine se'
fishness going up and down in the worl'
that goes by the name of religion.
CHOICE EXCERPTS.

No mans credit can fall so low bu
that, if he bear his shame as Ee should

tation.
ONE of the greatest pleasures of child
hood is found in the mysteries which il
hides from the scepticism of the elders
and works up into small mythologies OF
its own.

time nor eternity can sever them, are
woven of threads no bigger than spi

If you think you can temper your
self into manliness by sitting there over
your books, it is the very silliest fancy

MANKIND worships success, but thinks
too little of the means by which it is at
tained; what days and nights of watch
ing and WEAKNESS; how year after year
has dragged on, and seen the end still
far off; all that counts for little, if the
long struggle does not close its victory.

GUS remedy for any fault or failing, and

woman, though it may often lie latent
TO draw happiness from life in its vari
ous phases; and his or her entire vel
fare depends very largely upon the de-
gr e to which this power exists. To lost
faith in it is to be blown about at tn,
mercy of the winds and waves OF life
and at last to be carried away by it,
current; but to feel and exert it is tt

and bring the boat successfully into
port. The man who does this is moi
the mere pleasure seeker.
