metal they are boarding, but am in
time to help multitudes II the Lord
will. That 1t is possible to overcome
disadvantages OF physiognomy was in
this country nightly illustrated by one
whose life recently closed after having
served in the presidential cabinet at
Washington. By accident of fire in
childhood his face had been more pite-
ously SCARED than any human visage
that l ever saw. BY hard study he
arose from being poor boy to the very
height of the legal profession, and when
an attorney general for the United
States was needed he entered the presi-
Dental cabinet What a triumph over
destroyed human countenance!
lido not wonder that when an oppos-
ing attorney in Philadelphia court
room cruelty referred to this personal
disagreement Benjamin f. Brewster re-
pied IN these words; when was
babe, was beautiful blue eyed child.
know this because my dear dead moth

took fire, and ! ran to her relief and
saved her, but in doing SO my clothes

until my rice was as black as the heart
OF the scoundrel who has just now re-

Anu now am going 10 tell you OF
SUMS Vi the chlseis that WORK lor the
dlsnguratlon OF 1rradlatlon OF the hu-
man countehance. one OF the sharpest
ana most destructive OF tnose cnlsels OF
the conntenance is cynlcism. That
sours Inc disposition ana then sours the
race. IL gives contemptuous curl to
the up. IL draws down the corners OF
tne mouth ana initiates the nostrll as
with malodor. what David SAID In
haste they say IN their dell Iteration, 'All
men are llars, everything Is gong TO
ruin. All men ana women are bad or
going to be. Society and the church
are on the down grade. Tell them OF an
act OF benevolence, and they say he gave
tnat 10 advertise hlmself. Ihey do not
Ike the present FASHION OF hats Tor Wo-
men OF OF coats for men. They are OPP
posed TO the administration, municipal
and state and national. Somehow food
does not taste as 1t used to, and they
wonder why there are no poets or ora
tors or preachers as when they were
boys. Even Solomon, one OF the wlsest
and at one time one OF the worst of
men, falls into the pessimistic mood
and cries out IN the twenty first chapter
OF Proverbs, WHO can find virtuous
woman" If he had behaved himself
better and Kept IN good associations, he
would not nave written that lnterroga-
ton point implying the scarcity of good
womanhood. Cynlclsm, If a habit, as
1t IS with tens OF thousands OF people.
writes Itself all over the features; hence
SO many sour vlsages all up and down
the street, all up and down the church
and the world. One good way to make
the world worse is to say it is worse.
Let depressed and foreboding opinion
OF everything take possession OF you fol
