Halfthe people in this life make fail

cultivated the habit OF doing small things

man thinksL;s ability has over been re-
cogRfzsd at its trneworth. Reis employ-
ed at small tasks. working for small nav,
when to his mind he ought to be doing
great things, getting high wages. Nine
81 out Of ten, perhaps, the man who
thdrks this neglects, in consequence, the
small, humble task he is set to do. Heis
discontsnted, heis unhappy, he Is ready
TO strike, chsngs his business, or even 70
slight his tasks to the extent OF cheating
his employer as far as he 6ares, without
Getting himself discharged. Igyou agree
to perform certain labor in return for cer-
hin wages: however small, you have sold
your time and your ability. Do tbs work
the best it can be done. Form the habit
ofputting the best OF yoursslfinto all you
do. Work with enthusiasm over the
small tasks that are your lot at present,
always in hope that greater ones win
come to you by and by. They will So
surero come. Many a time tho small
task, done conscientiously and with en-
thusiasm, itself affords the very clew to
the greater task and the larger remunera-

ma who has not the habit OF doing his
heston whatever work he is engaged will
ever I'LL any place whatsoever. Let us
always be on the outlook for grander op-
pcrtunities. Life would not be worth
living except for that. But let us at the

the great opportunity when it comes, by
making the most out of our small oppor.

that any one with any brains at all could

know why Ellis didn't send it himself
unless for the want Of q two-cent stamp.
The writer mot Ellis, a you will readily
see by an inspection Of the language), got
things mixed, or tried to reply to some
thing he knew nothing about. He says
Ellis didn't dress up, but he sent wei to
n Of his close neighbour (who had just
returned from q visit to the young lady)
to iud out II she wa coming, 30 that he
could stop in time to bathe his face and
hands. The writer told one thing that has
never happened in this country before
ELLIS was at work. "Swamp Fox" re-
peats the old maxim about Lying in glass
houses. He says that sometime ago (last
JULY when q young lady was visiting
near here that we would dress up in OR
Sundsy-go-to-meetings, and when asked
where We were going said the sheep were
out of the pasture. We don't know why
he knew such unless 1t was because he
envied the neighborhood in which we
were going-the Promise Land.
