Now Solomon hit upon the real sum-

the best thing for manhood, the best
thing for the world as we may affect
It, the best thing for eternity, is not
riches, nor fame, nor pleasure, nor even
happiness. Indeed, In the universal OBJ
servation of mankind, apart for the
moment from the bearing Of these
things on destiny, they are more likely
to mar than make true manhood.
The chiefest good, then, first of all,
Is to be humble. To stand in the pres

against inherited tendencies, against

chiefest good is: "Give, therefore,

Old Peter attended watermelon
patch one season, and was ihdefatigable
in his attention to it. Day and night
found him at his post, under shelter
that he had built Of brush, to keep off
the sun and rain, armed with an old
gun, with which he was SO dexterous,
AS to be able to shoot blackbird on the
wing.
This feat always greatly aston;shed
one of his boy friends, who used to bor-
row the old gun and practice with it at
| mark on the barn door; but he was
never able to hit the mark, and often
missed the door.
1t was old Peters dexterity with this
gun and the known ferceness of his dog
Ring that preserved his watermelons

miles from old Peters patch, lived Will
