A young woman bound on such mis-
Eion-what might she not accomplish
| Oh, there are thousands of these manu-
facturers of sunshine. They are Kings
Daughters whether inside or outside
that delightful organization. They do
more good before they are 20 years Of
age than self, women who live 90,
and they are so happy just because they
make others harry. Compare such a
| young woman vlo feels she has such a
mission with che who lives a round Of
sanities, cardcase in hand, calling ON
| people for whom she does not care eX-
cept for some social advantage, and in
sufferaby bored when the call is re-
turned. and trying TO look young after
she is old, and livil 3 life of insin-
| cerity and hOllowness aid dramatiza-
| tion and sham. Young woman, live to
make Others happy. and you will be hap
py. Live for yourself, and you will he
| miserable There never has been an ex-
| ception to the rule; there never will be
an exception.
/ have noticed ON many of the rail
roads that the porter will go around and
light the lamps While it is bread day
light, and am at first surprised, but |
| sfterward find that we are about to en-
ter q tunnel, and its darkness is thus IL
Illuminated. Oh, kindle light for those
who are plunging into financial or do
mestic or spiritual midnight.
The Scale of Life.
Advice tie fifth: Plan out your life
ON big scale, whether you are a farm
er's daughter, or shepherdess among the
hills, or the flattered pet CT a drawing
room filled with statuary and pictures
and brio a-brac. Stop where you are and
make a plan for your lifetime. You
cannot be satisfied with life Of frivol-
ity and giEgle ard indircction. Trust
the world, and it will cheat you if it
does not destroy yen. The Redoubtable
was the name Of an enemy's ship that
Lord Nelson spared twice from 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 mighty a change
as did a college student CT 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 | am speaking Ct 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 i'll
bed until had formed my plan for life.
] ordered NY fire to be always laid over
night. | aTose 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 resolution definitely
placed changed a young man from a
reckless and time wasting student to a
consocrmed man who stopped not until
all time and all eternity shall be debtor
to his Pen and influence!
Clasp Hands With the Almighty.
Your3 woman, draw out and decide
what you viii be ana do, God helping.
Write it cut 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 a map Of the seat of
war. Put the plan on the wall CT your
rOom, OF write it III the opening Of
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, hut there is one question you
can settle independent of man, woman,
angel and devil, and that is that you
will be Gods woman now, henceforlh
and forever. Clasp hands with the AL
mighty. Pythagoras represented life by
the letter Y, because it early divides
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. | seek your
present and everlasting safety. David
Brewster said that a comet belonging to
our system called LeXell's comet is lost,
IS it ought to have appeared 13 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 Lord Cardigan, Of
the Muscovite guns, and all the havoc
was done in 25 minutes, the charge be-
ginning at 10 minutes past ! O'Clock,
and closing at 30 minutes past II, 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 go 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
me say there is a new woman, as there
is q new man, and that is tho regener-
ated woman made such by the ransack-
ing, transforming, upbuilding, triumph
ant power of the spirit who is so supe-
rior to all other spirits that he has been
sailed for ages the Holy Spirit. Quicker
than wheel ever turned on its axis |;
quicker than feetest hoof ever struck
the pavement; quicker than zigzaP
