Il Faded Bunch of Violets.

Il know a mother out in the west end
who has many household treasures" SAYS
St. Louis minister, but above all her
silver and china she cherishcs most a little
picture frame, not more than four inches
square, which contains a faded bunch of
violets with a dead Marguerite and a white
bow of ribbon for a centerpiece
1t is an insignificant bit of furniture,
but 1t represents to her one of the most
hallowed memories. Many years ago a
beautiful baby was born to her. and after
few years OF JOY and sunshine il passed
away. As it lay in its tiny coffin, with its
blue eyes wide open and the sunshine of
an autumn day gliding its already golden
hair, somebody placed in its waxen fingers
r. bunch of sweet violets. with a Margucr-
lite and bow of white ribbon. Before the
funeral day the flowers dropped and faded.
and the mother took them and put them in
little frame.
Probably it wouldn't signify much to
you and me, but no man will undertake to
say how much love and hope and ambition
lie among those faded flowers. st. Louis

Pessirnism of the Dcr.

suppose that the philosophical attitudes
which we call optimism and pessimism are
generally less the result of mental convic-
ton than of individual temperament. They
are moods, not systems. Life in itself is
lridescent with pleasure and pain-to one
the richer hUes, the lurking puppies and
leaping crimsons alone are visible; another
is spiritually color blind, and can see only
the browns and drabs, the dusky shadows
and more somber depths OF existence. Per
sonality is selective force, choosing from
the vast mass of what is, by some subtle
magnetism, just those elements which are
most akin to its own nature.
For all who attract pleasure life is a
triumph; for the rest a pilgrimage. This.
no doubt, has been a universal law, no less
true when the world seemed vanity to the
author of Ecclesiastes than it is now.
Yet it Will hardly be denied that, for
whatever cause, pessimism is in an es-
pecial degree characteristic of our own
time and oar own stage of Development
