more good before they are 20 wears of
age than selfish women who live 90.
and they are SO happy just because they
make others happy. Compare such a
young woman who feels she has such
mission with one who lives a round of
vanities, cardcase in hand, calling ON
people for whom she does not care ex-
cept for some social advantage, and in
sufferably bored when the call is re-
turned, and trying to look young after
she is old, and living a life of insin-
certify and hollOwness and dramatiza-
tion and sham. Young woman, live to
make others happy, and you will be hap
Ply. Live for yourself, and you will be
miserable. There never has been an ex-
ception to the rule; there never will be
an exception.

The Scale of Life.
Advice the fifth: Plan out your life
on big scale, whether you are farm
er's daughter, OF shepherdess among the
hills, or the fattered pet of drawing
room filled with statuary and pictures
and brlc-a brac. Stop where you are and
make a plan for your lifetime. You
cannot be satisfied with life of frivol-
ity and giggle and indirection. Trust
the world, and it will cheat you if it
does not destroy you. The Redoubtable
was the name of an enerny's ship that
Lord Nelson spared twicafrom demoli-
ton, but that same ship afterward sent
the ball that killed him, and the world
on which you smile may aim at you its
deadliest weapon. Be Gods woman.
This moment make as migkty a change
as did q college student of England. He
had neglected his studies, rioting at
night with dissipated companions and
sleeping III the classroom when he ought
to have been listening. A fellow student
came into his room one morning before
the young man I am speaking Of had
arisen from his pillow and said to him.
''Paley, you are fool! You are wasting
your opportunities. Do not throw away
your life. - Paley said: Il was SO
struck with what he said that lay in
bed until had formed my plan for life.
[ ordered my fire to be always laid over
night. [ arose at 5 and read steadily all
day, allotted to each portion of the day
its proper branch of study and became
the senior wrangler. - What an hour
that was when a resolution definitely
placed changed young man from
reckless and time wasting student to
consecrated man who stopped not until
all time and all eternity shall be debtor
to his pen and influence!
Clasp Hands With the Almighty.
Young woman, draw out and decide
what you will be and do, God helping.
Write it out in plain hand, not like
the letters which Josephine received
from Napoleon in Italy, the writing SO
scrawling and scattered that it was
sometimes taken as map of the seat of
war. Put the plan on the wall of your
room, on write it IN the opening of a
blank book, or put it where you will be
compelled often to see it. "A thousand
questions of your coming life you cannot
settle now, but there is one question you
can settle independent Of man, woman.

and forever. Clasp hands with the AL

into two ways. Look out for opportuni-
ties of cheering, inspiring, rescuing and
saving all the people you can. Make a
league with the eternities. l seek your
present and everlasting safety. David
Brewster said that comet belonging to
our system called LeXell's comet is lost,
as it ought to have appeared ID times
and has not appeared at all. Alas, it is
not only the lost comets, but the lost
stars, and what were considered fixed
stars. Some of the most brilliant and
steady souls have disappeared The
world wonders at the charge of the
Light brigade, immortalized by Tenny-
son. Only few of the 600 got back
from the charge, under LOAD Cardigan, of
the MEscOvlte guns, and all the havoc
was done in 25 minutes, the charge be-
ginning at 10 minutes past II O'Clock,
and closing at 30 minutes past IL, and
yet nothing left on the field but dying
and dead men, dying and dead horses.
But smaller proportion of the men
and women who 60 into the battle of
life come out unwounded. The slaugh-
ter has been and will be terrific, and
we all need God and we need him now
and we need him all the time. And let
