IL WIN Act as n shield Against Tristss
Discords and Even Sickness.
There is q marvellous medicinal
power in Joy. Most medicines are dis
tasteful; but this, which is the best Of
all medicines, is sweet TO the taste and
comforting to the heart There had
been little tiff between two sisters
in the church at Philippi--I am glad
that we do not know what the quarrel
was about; am usually thankful for
ignorance on such subjects-but, rs o
cure for disagreements, the apostle
says: Rejoice In the Lord Away
People who are very happy, especially
those who are very happy in the Lord,
are not apt to either give offense or to
take offense. Their minds are 80
sweetly occupied with higher things,
that they are not easily distracted by
the little troubles which naturally
arise among such imperfect creatures
as we are. Joy in the Lord Is the cure
for oil discord Should it not be so7
What is this Joy but the concord of the
soul, the accord of the heart with the
joy OF Heaven? Joy in the Lord, then.
drives away the discords of earth. The
cure for care is joy in the Lord. No, my
brother, you will not DO able to keep
on with your fretfulness; no, my sis
ter, you will not be allie to weary
yourself any longer with your anxieties
If the Lord will but fill you with His
joy. Then, being satisfied with your
God, yea, more than satisfied, over
flowing with delight in Him, you will
say to yourself: why art thou cast
down, o my soul? and why art thou
disquieted in me? Hope thou In God,
for shall yet there praise Him for the
help OF His countenance." What Is ON
earth that is worth fretting for FIVE
minutes? II one could gain an IMPERIAL

whittier as an Editor.

BY the time he was twenty-one he
had fitted himself to earn his living
with his pen. He went to Boston in
1929 to edit paper there, and he re-
turned to Haverhill the next year to
take charge of the local journal. Then
he was at the head of. an important
weekly in Hartford. In these various
positions he acquitted himself we'll,
mastering the questions of the day
carefully, and expressing his opinions
forcibly and courteously. But his
health failed, owing partly perhaps to
the exposure and toll of his boyhood
on the farm; and in 1881 he gave up
journalism for while and went back
to his fathers house. He has never
been robust; and all his life long he
was forced to take care of himself and
husband his strength.-Prof. Brander
Matthews, in st. Nicholas.

A Glance In the Looking Glass That May
Prove beneficial.
He who seeks a reputation in prefer
ence to character will find only bad
odor.
Away with the man who is always
telling just what he thinks. His candor
is cloak for daggers.
1t may be safely asserted that the
man who never made . mistake never
made anything worth mentioning.
The man whose chief object in life
is to stand up for his rights Is sxten
found standing up for the wrong.
It is an idle hour that man spends
in explaining himself. 1t is our bust
ness to live, not to apologize for liv-
ing.
There is nothing but ignominy ahead
of the man who would rather have
good reputation than - good charac-
ter.
Strange as it may seem, it is the man
who never had any mind to speak of
that is always giving "a piece of his
mind" to other people.

The mastery of self Is the end of

tai power that compels the mind to the
positive attitude-the forcing of the
mind to do that against which 1t

works; his ability comes through the
doing. Constantly we are met by the

A CANOE PARADE.


CnArmlnE FESTIVAL Given by summer NtDtt~
ors at Bar Harbor.
Turning from Renox and its en-
virons to the far northeasterly end of
our Atlantic coast line. we find on the
rocky shores of Mount Desert new and
elaborate examples of the rural fes-
tival. Long years ago, before that
rare and charming isle had been
formally adopted as the chosen resort
of summer pilgrims from all parts Of
the continent. athletic contests, foot
races and canoe races among the Pas
samaquoddy Indians were known to
Bar Harbor. BY the descendants of
those Indians was aroused the interest
in canoeing shown by visitors of recent
times, which resulted in the formation
of the Canoe club, now numbering
hundreds of members.
The first public parade of the club
was arranged in honor of an expected
visit from Matthew Arnold, who, in
discussing his anticipated expedition
TO that Eden of the sea, had expressed
hope that he might there find some
spectacle possessing the true local
color which he had failed to discover
elsewhere in America. Marshaled in
line, with bows towards the south,
upon a fortunately CLASSY stretch of
Frenchman's bay, near the westerly
point of Bar island, gathered number
of fower-wreathed canoes to perform
q series of maneuvers as dexterous in
execution as ingenious in the planning
The canoe parade, repeated the fol-
lowing year, was followed in another
season by an illuminated fete. To
this midsummer nights dream nature
lent herself in all graciousness. The
sun had set upon a sea of opal. As the
moon rose, and the tide flooded the
bar, people living along the shore on
each side of the Eden road sat in their
verandas to wait for the coming of the
boats, in an atmosphere as soft and
caressing as that of a June night in
Venice. From the starting place at
the chief landing of the village, out of
the darkness streaked with columns of
light from the electric arcs above the
town, and from the lamps of fotilla
of yachts and other boats at anchor in
the harbor, came silently stealing
long train of mysterious black craft
tossing leashes of fire. bubbles into the
air, or wreathed from stem to stern
with multicolored lanterns. Their
destination was dwelling situated
upon the shore at some distance up the
bay, where the performers in these
mysteries of the exhibition were ex-
pected ultimately to congregate at
supper. For an hour the meanderings
of the fire-laden boats gave delight to
many watchers ashore. At last, an
swering the signal of dance music
from the house, the cortege fell again
into line, and proceeded to disembark
upon floating wharf lighted by Ben
gal fires and strung with colored lam
terms. The boats, deserted by their
crews, were then strung together by
poatmen and lowed back to the start
ing point, the jewellers electing to re-
turn by the highways. Mrs. Burton

English and American Roses.

The great difference in taste between
English and American people is in nc
way better illustrated than in the
popularity of various florists flowers.
In the rose, for instance, the long,
oval-shaped is the popular form-a
roundish rosebud would scarcely have
sale in America. On the other hand,
the large globular, or even somewhat
f1attened kinds, are popular in En-.
gland, and what is true of the rose is
true of almost all other flowers that
are in use by florists. In carnations,
for instance, the heavy, coarse variety
known as Souvenir de la Malmaison ID

For IL kept my eager eyes
Always uplifted to the skies,
Some little thing
Beneath my feet might dying be
That needed tender care from me-

With bated breath for schoing

For might loose the feeble cry
OF some lost child THAI only i
Could lead along.
Enough for me each setting sun
Brings nearer the Beloved One.
How sweet to labor some day long,
With busy>hand and cheerful song.
And then to see

Into golden pathway home

Not by my merit, but His grace,
Ky King will find my lowly place.
