Do not demand that your toll always
be elegant and clearly and refined.
There is certain amount of drudgery
through which we must all pass, what
ever be our occupation. You know how
men are sentenced a certain number of
years to prison, and after they have suf-
Tered and worked out the time, then
they are allowed to go Free So it is
win all OF us. God passed on us the
sentence, by the sweat of thy brow
shalt thou eat bread We must endure
our time of drudgery, and then, after
awhile, we will be allowed to 20 into
comparative liberty. We must be will
ing to endure the sentence, We all
know what drudgery is connected with
the beginning OF any trade or profession.

but after awhile those things will be-
come easy. You will be your own mas

You will be discharged from prison.
Bless God that you have brain to
think and hands to work and feet to
walk with, for in your constant activi-

Respect For the Sabbath.
Respect for the Sabbath will be to the
young man another preservative against
evil. God has thrust into the toll and
fatigue of life recreative day, when
the soul is especially to be fed. It is no
new tangled notion Of wild Drained
reformer, but an institution established
oo ohO pOSAAulhS. 0OQ LAS ludu6 udGu-
raj and moral laws so harmonious that
the body as well as the soul demands
this institution. Our bodies are seven
day clocks, that must be wound up as
often as that or they will run down.
Failure must come sooner or later to the
man who breaks the Sabbath. Inspira-
ton has called it the Lords day, and
he who devotes it to the world is guilty
of robbery. God will not let the sin go
unpublished, either in this world or the
world to come.
This is the statement of a man who
has broken this divine enactment: 81
was engaged in manufacturing on the
Lehigh river. On the Sabbath used to
rest, but never regarded God in it. One
beautiful Sabbath, when the noise was
all hushed and the day was all that
loneliness could make it, sat down on
my piazza and went to work inventing
new shuttle. neither stopped to eat
nor drink till the sun went down. By
that time I had the invention complet-
ed. The next morning exhibited it and
boosted of my days work and was ap-
plauded. The shuttle was tried and
worked we'll, but that Sabbath days
work cost me $500 We branched
out and enlarged, and the curse of
heaven was upon me from that day on

manent successes. Gods curse will fall

High Ideals.
A noble ideal and confident expecta-
ton of approximating to it are an infal-
ible defense. The artist completes in
his mind the great thought that he
wishes to transfer to the canvas or the
marble before he takes up the crayon
or the chisel. The architect plans out
the entire structure before he orders the
workmen to begin, and, though there
may for long while seem to be nothing
but laundering and rudeness, he has in
his mind every Corinthian wreath and
Gothic arch and Byzantine capital
The poet arranges the entire p1ah ~
he begins to chime the first canto Of
tingling rhythms And yet, strange to-
say, there are men who attempt to build
their character without knowing wheth-

tent or a ST. Marks of Venioe-men
who begin to write the intricate poem
of their lives Understanding whether
it shall be a Homer's Odyssey a
rhymester' botoh. -Ss~<l
Nine hundred and ninety mine men
out of thousand are living without
any great life plot. Booted and spurred
and pIumed and urging their swift
courser in the hottest haste. I ask:
"Hello, man; whittier away?" His re-
Spouse is, nowhere. % Rush into the
busy shop or store of many one, and,
taking the plane out of the mans hand
or laying down the yardstick, say,
"What, man, is all this about-so much
stir and sweat?" The reply will stumble
, Every days duty ought only to be the
filling up of the main plan of existence.
Let men be consistent II they prefer
misdeeds to correct courses of action,
then let them draw out the design of
knavery and cruelty and plumber. Let
every days falsehood and wrongdoing
be added as coloring to the picture. Let
bloody deeds red stripe the picture, and
the clouds of a wrathful God hang down
heavily over the canvas ready to break
out in olamorous tempest. Let the wa
tiers be chafed and froth tangled and
green with unreasonable depths. Then
take torch of burning pitch and scorch
into the frame the right name for. it,
the souls suicide. If one entering upon
sinful directions would only, in his
mind or on paper, draw out in awful
reality this dreadful future, he would
recoil from it and say, "Am a Dante,
that by my own life should write an
other 'Inferno?'' But if you are re.
solved to live life such as God and
good men will approve, do not let it be
vague dream, an indefinite determine
ton, but in your mind or upon paper
sketch it in all its minute. You cannot
