PERSONAL AFFINITY.
why High and Noble Purposes
should he Cultivated.

What is that mysterious attraction
which draws on toward certain people
and repels from others? II is rs real as
gravitation or chemical affinity, but no
scientist can define in what IL consists,
or lay down the laws Of its operation.
We behold another person, and glance
oftheeye,an intonationof the voice,or q
pose OF the body captivates us. In its eN-
treme forms this capture is love at first
sight.and henceforth life may be changed
and destiny fixed. This charm does not
by any means always coexist with
physical beauty. Indeed, some of the
most fascinating persons we have ever
known were singularly destitute OF
personal comeliness, but n certain
beauty or power of spirit revealed itself
through the unattractive physical
guise. tt is only schooIboys or school
girls who think that to be- winsome one
must be beautiful IL is the soul and
not its enswathement which ultimately
draws us. Probably few OF us would
not admit, upon n careful review OF our
personal histories, that IL has been this
impalpable, inexpliooble affinity with
some kindred spirit, born in a flash,
which has been principal factor in our
experience and character. One OF the
most profound reasons for cultivating
high and noble purposes is thatwe may
have that in us which responds to the
great and worthy in others. Sooner or
later we shall meet the personality that
wins and draws us. Whether IL shall
be upward or downward depends large
" on the responsiveness we have Guilt
vated.-Boston Waterman.

An Irlshman's Reply.

Judge Morton, of Virginia, used TO
tell story of an Irishman who was
brought before him for pommeling one
Of his friends in fit of rage. He was
sentenced to a months imprisonment.
"Now, Larry" said the judge, you will
have time 10 think of your folly. Thirty
days in Jail; your lost work; your fam
lily, without food; oil because you
thrashed a man against whom you say
you have no grudge, Did IL pay2"
Larry looked up, with a shrewd smile.
"Arrah, yer honorl Do ye mind the
pleasure to me hstsl" The thoughtful.
earnest reformers who urge that all
national disputes should be referred to
arbitration, and not 10 the decision OF
brute force, should not overlook the
strength of the savage instinct that is
so powerful factor in the decisions

proportion OF even ordinarily pcnceable
and large-minded men.-Youth's Com

among the mines, and zee n be could ~
get something to do In the management
OF one OF them This would enable him
to make some money and 20 help pay
of the Indebtedness which he and
Wentworth would owe in London as
result of their disastrous speculation.
He felt so depressed that he did what
most other Englishmen would have
done in his place; he took long walk.
He stood on the bridge over the Ottawa
river and gazed for little while at the
Chandiere falls, with the mist rising
from the chasm into which the waters
plunged. Then he walked along the
other side of the river among the big
sawmills and huge interminable piles OF
lumber, with their grateful piney smell.
BY and by he found himself In the coun-
try, and then the forest closed in upon
the bad road on which he walked. New
ertheless he kept on and on, without
needing where he was going. Here
and there he saw clearings in the woods,
and log shanty, or perhaps barn.
The result OF all this was that, being q
healthy man, he soon developed an
enormous appetite, which forced itselr
upon his attention in spite of his de-
preston. He noticed the evening was
closing around him, and so was glad TO
come TO n farmhouse that looked better
than the ordinary shanty he had left
behind. Here he asked for food, and
soon sat down to n plentiful meal. the
coarseness of which was more than
compensated for by the excellence of
his appetite. After dinner he began to
realize how tired he was, and felt aston
ished to hear from his host how far he
was from Ottawa.
"You can't get there tonight" said
the farmer; lit is no use your trying
You stay with us tonight, and I'll take
you in tomorrow. I'm going there In
the afternoon" And so Kenyon re
NAMED all night, and slept the dream
less sleep of health and exhaustion.

4 HYMN TO TOMORROW.

III II wasn't for hope we should die with
fear"
Runs the dear old adage we used 20 hear
When we needed no hope 70 borrow;
And ever the sweetest thing I'm life,
Through storm or sorrow. or bittsrest
strife.
ID the hope that enshrines tomorrow.
The world may be old,
And our faith grow cold
And the blacklist of shadows to-day en-
fold.
But tomorrow.
Tomorrow,
Tomorrow.
The way shall be paved with gold.
The day may vanish I'm pain and grief.
The year be sad with the fall OF the leaf,
And the night be dumb with sorrow:
Our hearts may be heavy with care or woe.
Yet ever. as dreariiy on we go,
We hope for a glad tomorrow.
We may look with scorn
On to-day forlorn.
And our souls with the burden OF life be
worn,
But tomorrow.
Tomorrow,
Tomorrow,
A happier day shall dawn.
Out to the unknown we swiftly glide,
Ger the river OF life so deep and wide.
And ever new faith we borrow;
For the way OF God Is a wondrous way.
And II leads. by the path OF the stern to-
day.
To the edge of glad tomorrow.
We know not how
IL shall come. but Thou.
o Lord, dost nothing but good allow,
And tomorrow,
Tomorrow,
Tomorrow,
We shall learn the truth which we know
not now.
Sometimes II seems that the world is dark,
All silent the song OF the thrush and lark.
And vanished all else but sorrow;
But over the edge OF the darkest night
There waits a sunrise serene and bright,
And life Will be glad tomorrow.
And so Will II be
When the end we see,
For death means only n life moro free.
And tomorrow.
Tomorrow,
Tomorrow,

Tales OF Hoary old Egypt.

Many centuries before recorded his
tory begins the old Egyptians had de-
veloped religion. an architecture and
n mode Of life of which imperishable
traces are found to-day. Before
Herodotus wrote or Homer sung, be-
fore the sacred songs of IIindostan were
dreamed of, before the first books OF
the Bible were put into writing, the
Egyptian hieroglyphics recorded on
the walls of their temples and tombs
or on the scrolls of their papyri the mys-
teries OF their religion, the doings OF
their kings or the stories of their
chief reciters. Maspero, the great
French Psychologist, first gave these
stories TO the modern world, but 10 the
skill and scholarship of Flinders Petrie
the world owes the first useful and en-
tertaining form in which the earliest
romances Of the childhood of the world
appear in English. There are many of
these stories. In them appear the
prototypes of characters in fiction that
have been used by writers in all ages
and all languages. In one story told
by King Khufu's reciter at command
Of that monarch, who even in his early
days was aweary of the hollow splendor
and tedious ceremonials Of his court,
