heaven?
They who forgive will be forgiven.

A brothers sufferings claim

There is such a thing as a
faulty excess OF humility. If
man does not take notice of that
excellency and perfection that is
n himself, how can he be thank
full to God who is the author of
all excellency and perfection?
Nay, if man hath too mean an
opinion of himself, it will render
him unserviceable both to God
and man.
The grandest heroism-the
heroism that makes saints and
martyrs-is bearing the burdens
Of our lives patiently and cheer
fully, never failing in strength
and enduraLce.-Anon.

Give smile, word of cheer,
Tho things seem all dark and drear:
Give kiss. ID hand-clasp p warm,
They at least will do no harm.
Light of heart. be glad and gay
'Tis by far the better way
To remove unsightly angle,
| Knotted threads of life untangle.
Still, without thought of gain,
Strive to lull brothers. pain;
Help him bear his weight of care.
Oft his cup of sorrow share.
Gently dry his burning tears,

Make a brave, a gallant fight;
For high honor, truth. and right;
Do the very best you can
Unto woman, child and man.

than while we declaim against
the want of it; all our actions are
then tinctured with peevishness:
the yoke of life Is certainly the
least oppressive when we carry
it with good humor, and in the
shades of rural retirement.-
Zimmerman.
Bishop Wilmer says: "Repress
by Puritanic rule the innocent
disportings of youth, and the
nature not changed will either
seek other channels or break the
embankments and spread itself
at random. [ have never seen
so reckless a manhood as in those
cases where a childhood had
been unduly and, unwisely re
pressed"
Senator Hill.
