THE TRUE MAN.
"COunt that day lost
Whose low decending sun
Views at thy hand
No worthy action done

NO worthy dCCioH uoiN'
It should be the determination OF
every Young man never to let single
dav pass unless something is done that
will benefit or give pleasure to those
with whom he comes in contact. Al
though we often feel bad and think
that it Is impossible for us to DO any
thing for the help Of others, yet 1t has
been truly said "where there's Will
there's a way" and the man who IS
unselfish and has the welfare OF his TEL
low man at heart will always find that
way. A few kind words of sympathy
or encouragement, or even pleasant
smile. may do more good under certain
circumstances than it is possible Tor us
to estimate. We should be at all times
careful of our words.

/ Finds mark the archer little meant.
And many word at random spoken ;,

A little act of kindness to child IS
often never forgotten. Scratch the

Mt That man is most admired, who is
IN modest and retiring, and is not always
m seeking his own comfort, but the COM
forts of others; who is kind to all,
thoughtful for the welfare OF all, with
a ready hand to help all, and heart
