SITTER PROVERBS.

Don't monkey with something that
you know nothing about.
Tell only what you know and your
tongue will not be overworked.
Opposing the religion of others will
not make your own any brighter.
Superstition and ignorance may be
promoters of zeal but they are mighty
poor teachers.
The less man knows the more fool
ish things he sees in his neighbors and
friends.
You may see very clearly with your
glasses but you can't oblige other peo-
pie to look through them.
The fellow who plays the thinking
part doesn't make much noise but, all
the same, you don't want to try to butt
him off the bridge.
The world is full Of inspiration. 1t
touches the plant and 10! the beautiful
flower; it illumines the mind of man
and woman and reaches from this life
to the skining plains of eternity.

The Fourth at the Lake.

The Fourth will be celebrated in
the usual manner at Lowell Lake
The Weston Cornet Band will dis.
course music through the day, and an
orchestra of six pieces will furnish in
spiration for dancing day and eve
ming. Every facility will be offered
for boating and bowling, and dinners
that would make an epicure die for
very joy. This is cranky notion of
the "Kommodore's," to try to fill
everybody up so they will not want to
eat again for six months. He would
run out Of customers, by doing this
way, only this is big world and peo-
pie are all the time coming and going,
and there is nothing they like so we'll
as to be filled up-some likeit so well
that they fill up with rotten antigua
ted superstition. But this isn't the
genial proprietor of the Lake House
He keeps his ideas as "bright as a
button" There's no verdigris on
anything about the Lake.

age. We see him at the sorrowing home
at Bethany and at the grave of Lazarus
the loved brother. Jesus wept, not be-
cause he could not restore to life for the
power of life and death was in his hand,
not that he was unable to give comfort
for he did. It was because his great heart
was touched with pity for the bereaved
ones that he wept and in this act did he
show the plying love and sympathy of
the Father. Thus as Christ Jesus re-
vealed the Father let me ask the question
to what extent are we revealing Christ?
Are we as charitable as we ought to be,
as sympathetic as we might be, as self
sacrificing as in our privilege to be? Let
us take our Lord as an example of all
these blessed attributes, which he set
forth, I'D seek to emulate him in all
things. May the love of Christ dwell In
you richly in all wisdom teaching and ad-
monishing you in all things, who endured
all things for our sake that we might be-
come heirs of all things pertaining to life
and godliness. May we see i'm Christ the
God we adore and love him sincerely and

well do it at Londonderry. That

we are going to whoop 'er up in good

A maiden fair, with sunny hair
And eyes of azure blue,
With rosy cheeks and lips of straw

A head of classic grace, and beauti-

form of perfect mould,
heart as pure as gold.
A conscience clear, that knows no fear,
A mind from superstition free,
The soul of honor she must be.
In disposition sweet, the cares of
life to meet,
In all things to be real
This, then, is my ideal.
